American McGee's Alice. I actually got the head of the Cheshire cat tattooed on my ribs (I have a pretty serious Alice kick anyway, and I liked the art style, so I got it inked into my flesh). I only wish the game itself had been better. I guess Psychonauts was pretty weird, but I really love...

There's plenty that gets my goat, grinds my gears, and pisses me off. Most of it has already been said, so I'll skip all the other stuff and just say that I agree with most things people have said here. now: People that overuse parentheses. I do it and I can't stand it, and it really...

Agreed. The Snow Storm mission has been making me scream up my lungs in rage. It doesn't matter how meticulously or carefully I pick off the cops, or if I run through guns blazing, I'm always betrayed by the cover system sticking me to the wall and ignoring the fact that there are two shotgun...

Mech games! Please!!! I suppose they're a subgenre of the shooter, but not since MechWarrior 3 on the PC have I been satisfied with a mech game, and the visceral thrill of managing a 90-ton lumbering machine bristling with weaponry combined with the strategy of heat/munitions management has...

Hmm... Tony Hawk Underground 2 - tried time and time again to play, but I just got disgusted with the juvenile crap and haven't picked up another THPS since. TF2 - just won't click with me. HL2:ep 2 - still haven't beaten it, don't really care enough to (maybe with a new PC?) Black...

Cycling (though I broke a spoke this weekend - third one on the same wheel, but I don't have $300 for a new wheel set) doing massive, noncompetitive bike rides (60+ miles), reading good classic literature and modern, intelligent humor and scientific journals for the masses (Scientific American...

Turning on my Wii or 360 without getting up off my ass :)

RE1 remake was damn scary, I slept with the lights on for three nights after I started playing that. RE4 was good but never really scary, though the spike monsters (the ones you need the thermal scope for) were rather creepy. BioShock had its fair share of creeps and chills, best among...

I've emulated for some time now, but like Jack Spencer Jr, I see the big lists of AAA SNES, GB/GBC/GBA and N64 ROMs and say "Hmm... Nah." I might fire up something quick, easy, and simple like Tetris 2 or Tetris Attack for a round or two but as far as completing Goldeneye on 00 Agent or...

Deus Ex - pretty much the entire game. While I never did make it through without killing anyone (the temptation is just too great), I love being a crazy-skilled rifle master that also hacks machines mad crazy and robs ATMs out of spite. The RPG element (is it fair to call it just an element?)...
