    Space marine demo; thoughts?

    Started up on Normal. I died at least ten times at the very first encounter. Then I realized that the game was not Dynasty Warriors. As soon as I got a hang of it, I had all the fun. All of it. It's a unique, smooth blend of shooting and smashing that doesn't exist anywhere else. Also it has...

    The protagonist in the last game you played is hunting you.

    I've been playing Dwarf Fortress all day. I think I'll just leave it at that.

    Problem-Solving Robot Swarm Goes After Our Books

    The best part is when all the footbots click over to red. You just expect lasers or knives to pop out of them.

    This is why I think that animals are superior to humans

    If there was a dog that could post things on the internet, everyone would be amazed at how smart it was. And they don't bother to compliment the people who made the internet. Or the computer. Or circuit boards. Or pornography.

    Opportunity in the Face of (The Present Extra Credits) Tragedy

    I can assure you, they may be. I've yet to find a group of players who refuses to enjoy themselves around the table. Sure, there's a group or two who's really into a well-told story, but a few sarcastic quips and Star Wars references still find their way in. That, and I'm not the strictest...

    Opportunity in the Face of (The Present Extra Credits) Tragedy

    Do try to keep this thread off the topic presently covering these forums. Two things are, apparently, happening: Extra Credits is leaving and The Escapist is hurting for cash. It may be that this is the best time, or it may be the Vicodin I'm presently taking is convincing me to do this, but...

    Best Written Videogame Character

    Roman's a great character. They just have your phone set to ring too often. On topic, though, Kratos in GoW1. Call me crazy, but Kratos is my choice. He's an incredibly simple character, yes, but he really doesn't need decades of backstory or complex motivation to be well-written. I do enjoy...

    New minecraft Enderman footage

    I know I've heard that creepy whispering before. I want to say it's from Oblivion or Morrowind, but I don't think that's right.

    50 Americanisms That Brits Apparently Hate

    "The one that always gets me is the American need to use the word bi-weekly when fortnightly would suffice just fine." I can only picture this person, and most others on the list, wearing a top hat and monocle while sipping tea on their velocipede and discussing the current state of the East...

    dragon age 2 whats with all the hate?

    I heavily dislike Dragon Age 2. I have not played the full game. For all I know, it could have a wonderful story and the greatest combat system this side of Dwarf Fortress. I did, however, play the demo for Dragon Age 2. In the demo, you are not allowed to use your inventory. And that's when...

    I don't hate vests.

    Poll: Do YOU hate Modern Warfare 2?

    I played the the free Multiplayer weekend on Steam a few weeks back. Everything bad everyone ever said about the PC version is true. Past that, I found a fair number of the perks and attachments to be far better than others and that the killstreaks are absolutely destructive to Deathmatch...

    So what is Camping?

    A few days ago I played some Counter-Strike Source. It was on one of those little ice fort maps where there's two forts and a big open space between them. I was the last person alive on my team, and there were five baddies all over the enemy fort with guns that can plaster a face from across the...
