    How would you define a 'satisfying' weapon?

    Honestly, every weapon I've liked has had good sound and realistic kickback. Read: The Magnum from HL:OF, and (unfortunately) all the weaponry from Turok (Yes, the original, and YES I hated the game). Combining those, I'd say the shotgun from HL2 is my current fav, anything like that is...

    Poll: Half Life 2 vs. Half Life vs. The episodes vs. Portal

    I'd go Portal, EP2, HL2, HL, EP1. I think that EP2 is (considered by itself) a good summation of all of HL's good points while dispensing with a lot of its bad ones. HL is the first good story-based RPG in existence. HL2 really was the first in the series to do something revolutionary with...

    Angriest you've ever been at a game.

    Aladdin for the Sega Genesis (Jump, jump, jump, miss, killed by guard, start the level over. Jump, jump, jump, jump, miss, killed by guard, start the level over). An exercise in "controller snapping frustration." Any RPG without frequent auto-save and genuinely quick quick-save (I get...

    Favorite RPG Battlesystem(s)

    My favorite systems are still the RT/TB combos present in BG, NWN, KOTOR and ME. Simple and immersive. [And yes, ME is still an RPG] That being said, my favorite "pure" TB systems are from: 1) Fallout 2 ("The bullet rattles around in his skull") 2) Final Fantasy 4 (Espers are still the...

    Greenpeace Says Console Companies Still Playing Dirty

    "The purpose of terrorism is to terrorize." Josef Stalin Terrorism is the use of *illegal* violence or the threat of *illegal* violence *in order to instill fear* to cause someone to perform an action, or abstain from an action. Thus "terror." And it only pertains to acts which are illegal...
