    "GET OVER HERE!" phrases that are engraved in your brain years later

    Not any titles that people have been able to name when asked. I'm not in your grill or whatever you say these days, just genuinely interested if I've been missing something. Most people say it's from UT, but it's not in there. I first heard it back when Pure Pwnage was a thing, and that...

    "GET OVER HERE!" phrases that are engraved in your brain years later

    "Hey! I'm going to the bear pits tomorrow. Wanna come with?" "Your song is not ours." "You N'wah!" That's not from a game, though?

    Future Adam Sandler Movies Will Go Direct to Netflix

    Wow, you guys are a bitter bunch. I personally consider Sandler a very good actor, though he only works for me when he's got the right material. Has anybody here seen Reign Over Me or Punch-Drunk Love? They are a far cry from what most people think of when they hear of "an Adam Sandler movie"...

    So I installed the Morrowind Overhaul Mod...

    I'd guess they didn't feel like competing with Better Bodies, by far the most popular body mesh replacer, and the one that almost any armor and clothing mod is made for.

    Your childhood game!

    ...some of you guys are making me feel ancient. For me it was Donald Duck's Playground, then Turrican II several years later.

    Dating a Geek - Polarizing Gizmodo Article

    Something that the writer of the "article" really needs to think twice about is her demand that the guy must put such information right there in his profile. Think about it- if the guy put this piece of information in his profile text, anyone would be able to google "Magic, The Gathering world...

    Poll: Bethesda or Interplay?

    My sympathy is with Black Isle, and I prefer the first Fallout by a laaaarge margin, but in this legal issue, I side with Beth, because Interplay have clearly been behaving foolishly. ...but I'll admit that I haven't exactly been following the developments and reasoning and whatnot...

    Rumor: Bethesda Working on Elder Scrolls MMO

    Exactly. Brink is a game that brags about breaking down the wall between single player and multi-player, blending this and that seemlessly together. This achievement might be realized through certain MMO-related code-wrangling. I'm not too unsettled by this at all.

    Vanquish: Japan's commentary on Western gaming?

    Halo:CE did it before The Getaway. Granted, it was two-tiered (powered armor on top of actual non-regenerating health), but the mechanic amounted to about the same in the end. ...and I'm sick of it. Even old schoolers like Duke Nukem has regenerating health now. Blech.

    Poll: Your first thought when you saw this

    Me too, actually. And then, after reading on for a bit, I thought- thank Bob noone seems to recognize this as CAD. Hopefully that means we'll see the end of it soon.

    Zero Punctuation: E3 2010

    Oh lord, my sworn enemy- the shoddy-as-all-hell 3D dice from GIS. How could you bring yourself to using that in a ZP?

    Your most epic moment in gaming!!

    I KO'd Don Dumpster in one single hit (using Screwie Louie's Twister) in Carmageddon 2 if anyone remembers, (or cares about) that old thing. My best would be when I was playing ye good olde Unreal and after exiting Harobed Village and going towards the Terraniux I spotted a Skaarj way the...

    Oblivion: Did anyone else find it to be a poor sequel ?

    It's funny how everyone says Oblivion had a smaller in-game world when in fact it was quite a lot larger. I think Vvardenfell was something like 10 square miles and Cyrodill was 16... Anyways, everything was better in MW, except for combat and graphics if you ask me.

    Poll: Who would win in a fight: Sephiroth or Darth Vader

    About Seph's speed: That's irrelevant since the force will allow Vader to predict any move, no matter how snappy. And Masamune is no match for a lightsaber. Vader only has to block it once and it's in twain.
