    Plot twists and big reveals you solved by yourself

    I don't think that was supposed to be much of a secret. They made it incredibly obvious. The only person who didn't know was Princess Buttercup.

    Modern Cinematic Example Of Imagination?; Losing Hope

    500 days of summer was actually really good. It takes the usual expectations of romantic comedies and throws them out the window. I really enjoyed that movie.

    Poll: Personal Issue with Batman: Arkham City

    Everything I've heard says that the Catwoman stuff is optional and a very small part of the game. If you want to buy the game used that's fine. The price you pay for not buying it new is the forfeit of a small part of the game that doesn't change the story at all. I personally am a fan of buying...

    What are you reading?

    I have been reading the Sherlock Holmes books. So far I have finished "A Study in Scarlet", and "The Sign of Four". I've also read a few of the short stories in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". I'm really enjoying them.

    Have you ever gotten a game into an unwinnable/unfinishable state?

    I can think of three games. In Final Fantasy X there was a boss that had multiple parts that all had their own hit points. I would get close and then one of the parts would heal the others. In Resident Evil 4 I bought the rocket launcher to kill El Gigante. And then I got to the part on...

    Favorite "Obscure" Movie.

    Truly Failed Advertising

    I have to say, those super annoying Target Black Friday commercials with the crazy lady who epitomizes everything that is wrong with American capitalism.

    Video Game Protagonists you hate

    I'm currently in my second play through and still have absolutely no attachment to Jacob. The only reason I'm going to do his loyalty mission is because it's fun and I think it's great to make his dad commit suicide. Don't judge me, it's a video game. he's not real. I just hate the fact that...

    Video Game Protagonists you hate

    He's not the main character, but I took an instant dislike to Jacob from Mass Effect 2. I think I finally kinda figured it out. It's the way he just assumes he has some sort of influence on whatever happens on the Normandy. He thinks that Commander Shepard, the guy who saved the galaxy from...

    Why do people buy Pokemon games?

    One word: Squirtle! But I don't know. I haven't played since Crystal. I haven't been much of a hand held gamer for a long time.

    Post Your Pokemon Dream Team!

    I only really need two Pokemon for my dream team. The rest are whatever I feel like at the moment. But it must include squirtle (no evolution, just squirtle) and Garydos.

    In Games where you can customize the character...

    For me in Mass effect the only thing important to Shepard is that his first name is Jesus and he basically uses pistols.
