I would love to agree whole-heartedly, but I don't see how it would benefit from a remake. Some of the graphics could be cleaned up, but it won't see much improvement. I would rather see Capcom make a new BoF game in that style (let's just pretend Dragon Quarter didn't happen). OT: Legacy...

Your GPU could just about boil water at that point. Different cards will have different max operating temperatures, but nothing runs that hot. At that temperature, you risk damaging not only your card (if you haven't already), but other components as well. Do NOT play SC until the problem is...

I once had a conversation with a Christian co-worker about her insistence that the end of days was upon us. After pointing out that Jesus said that we wouldn't know, I said, "Assuming that you could know exactly when the Rapture was coming, what would you change? If you aren't living your life...

Civilization 2; Starflight 2; Homeworld; Castlevania 1, 3 and SotN; Super Mario Brothers 3; Legend of Zelda; Legacy of the Wizard, Bomber Man; Tetris... I could go on all day. Truly great games will always be great. Sometimes we can lose ourselves in the simple fun of them. Some can be a...

E4 number 3 Sinnoh - Minerals (ground, rock, steel) Might be a difficult fight for some less experienced players, but I've always felt that the E4 lacked the challenge that a group called "Elite" should pose. More experienced players should have little trouble with it as long as...

It wasn't great. Hell, there was a lot about that game that was pretty bad. The controls were stiff, the dungeons were both confusing and unmemorable (it's easy to get lost when every hall looks the same), most weapons were only useful in very specific situations or not useful at all, characters...

I may go to hell for this one: Why does a woman wear white to her wedding? While on holiday in Germany, an american woman walks past a bar where she sees a drunken man urinating on the side of the building. Repulsed, she shrieks, "GROSS!" The drunken man looks up at her and beams...

I'm curious; is this because of lingering animosity between Jews and Christians over (often brutal) oppression or because Christianity is seen as heretical? Many Christians I know view Judaism as their spiritual heritage and presume a kinship with Jews. I can certainly see why Jews would not...

I'm not Jewish and I felt immediately compelled to answer your question. 18% ($36, in this case) is seen as about standard. I generally tip 20% or more for really good service, though. Of course, I don't eat $200 meals. OT: What differentiates High Holy Days from other holidays in the...

The LRR crew does a lot of videos, two of which still feature on the Escapist. Most of them also have day jobs. Sadly, they couldn't keep up with all of their projects and something had to give. You may recall the new format they tried was a way to reduce the time involved in creating ENN and...

A blindfold and a cigarette, I suppose. I knew my reclusive nature would catch up to me some day.

As the proud owner of a y chromosome, my opinion may not be hat you're looking for, but I think this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8ZVZRsy8N8] is a big part of it. Many women see video games as a "boy's-club" and may see your interest in them as inherently unfeminine. They would probably...

From Eternal Sonata Graham: "No questions. Mommy's drunk." from the same episode, Girl: "What about the puddle? Will it make waves when the moon comes out, too?" Graham: "No. That's stupid. God you're dumb." Also from that episode (still my favorite episode) Mother: "If you try your...

I was going to say X-COM. It wasn't that complex and it wasn't an FPS, but limb damage was present and soldiers could be knocked unconscious by things like non-lethal wounds and smoke inhalation. Still, it may not work for an FPS. I would hate to find myself crippled and unable to move, but...

Well, my top 3 all made the list already, in order even. Breath of Fire, Homeworld and Legend of Legaia. All 3 were strong games that left me feeling let down by their sequels. Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, Homeworld: Cataclysm, and Legaia 2 were all... not good. Not really bad, just not...
