I like the orbs. Great addition, makes it so potions are saved for things like bosses and uniques and keeps the flow of action. I don't really mind the art direction. I understand why people have gripes with rainbows, but as far as I'm concerned, in the Diablo world, light probably still...

But the whole issue with underaged people playing those games is that it undermines the current rating system and gives the anti-gaming lobby a little more ammunition to play with. With movies, they don't know that young ones are watching rated 'R' movies because it's not being advertised over...

It really isn't only little kids but a lot of my audio strife comes from them. Mostly it's the young, high pitched voices that constantly talk, mumble and sing. It seems more common for the little ones to continually give commentary on what's going on over the mic. Frankly, most people...

Yeah, I think you all are right. My daughter is going to be a huge priority. I think I will look at the reserves though. I'm not sure it will work well with my current work, seeing as I'm on call 24/7 currently. I guess it's something I might want to talk to the recruiter about.

Well, my girlfriend does find prosthetic limbs somewhat of a turn on... Hah. Yeah, I'm well aware of the dangers involved. All three of those things actually are dangers of my current job, just not as much. I currently work for the railway and chance of injury or death is definitely not...

I've been thinking about signing up for a while but I don't know if it's something I'd actually enjoy so I figured I'd ask here and see if anyone has any experience with their national army and what they thought of the experience. I've got a daughter on the way and my current job probably...

Well, I didn't preorder it or read about it a ton. But, from all the glowing reviews I'd read about The Orange Box by fellow gamers, I decided to get it. Half-Life 2 just didn't draw me in. The gameplay wasn't good enough to redeem any sort of story I could have garnered from it. TF2 was...

Been done, I believe. http://www.overclock3d.net/news.php?/input_devices/ocz_prepares_neural_impulse_actuator_for_shipping_next_week/1 I'm sure it will become more and more common. I wonder how it will effect the budding professional gamer scene.

I have had this idea for quite some time but it is doubtful I'd ever have the resources to finance it. I wanted to take the idea of a gym and combine it with the idea of an arcade. For example, each of the exercise bikes would have a small LCD screen on it. You could select different...

Pros to Rock Band: Great social game. Instrument charts for guitar and bass are not too challenging but are well constructed and fun. Loads of DLC available. Very good production values in the software and superior (IMO) styling and presentation. Character customization. Cons: A lot of...

No kidding.

I bought GalCiv2 because of the box art and the description on the back. Got a lot of play out of it

Let's see... The ONLY game system I've had fail on me is my PS2 after 4 years of operation. I've had; NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Gear, PSX, PS2, Wii, N64, and an XBox 360. Of these, I still have all but the PS2/PSX. The only other hardware related problem I've run into is the Overdrive not...

This. It seems that a lot of the adult gamers who have wives or husbands and 9-5 jobs, kids, the whole works, will often avoid bringing up their pasttime. I know I'm guilty of this myself. I often feel awkward and embarrassed bringing up the fact that I am a gamer, fearing the perceptions of...

I don't know, the art direction looks phenomenal to me. It's not just cel-shaded, it looks a lot different than that. The look of the game is the whole reason I want to play it. It reminds me of Out of This World/Another World for some reason. Just the mix of cartoon and realism. And the...
