    Fallout 4, what would you like to see?

    (This is going to make me seem like a pyschopath) Killing children. That adventure into Little Lamplight pissed me off so much, because I knew the easiest thing to do was just remove the mayor and be on my merry way. But he had a magical aversion to bullets. I can't really blame Bethseda...

    I disagree with Yahtzee in a lot of areas.

    Yahtzee needs to be entertaining, not nesscarily right. It's in his best interest to always hate on a game and spit venom, because thats what makes us laugh. Personally, I love a few games he's bashed on, but his reviews still make me chuckle, thanks to that tiny black kernel of truth buried...

    Horror Movies that need games

    Oh lord, that could be fun, but I can just imagine 20 Jack Thompson clones getting their panties bunched up about it.

    Poll: Why all the hate on fanboy-ism

    Has anybody read Buy-ology, by Martin Lindstrom? People may have developed an attachment to a brand, because of consistent exposure and fond memories linked to the brand (Nintendo, Sony, Coke, et cetera). This emotional attachment competes and some times interfers with rational consumer...

    Bioshock, Way Too Hard?

    When I played it on the console, it was harder than diamonds. When I finally got it on PC, it was a breeze. There was even a difficulty mod, which nerfed the wrench (which it deserved) among other things. But this is coming from a player who played nightmare runs on doom 2 and liked...

    Fake endings in games, do they just annoy the hell out of you? or renew your intrest in the game?

    The best fake ending was Hitman:BM. Suberbly cinematic. For bioshock, I knew it wasn't the ending, because of the oh so obvious bathysphere level selections.

    What is your Major?

    Helleva switch, my friend. But, best of luck! For me, I'm majoring in mathematics and physics. Specifically, I'm studying radio physics.

    Unskippable: Eternal Sonata

    I love the MST3K vibe this show has. Hope they do more, but I wonder where they can get truly terrible cutscenes to riff at.

    What do the kids have these days!?!?

    I saw the title and thought: What do the kids have these days!?!? Syphilius and iPods! Credit to mhitman and maybe others to beating me to this joke.

    Your earliest gaming experience?

    Bummer. That game has a special place in my heart. I beat when staying over at a relatives house, since I couldn't go to sleep.

    If all consoles got destroyed and YOU Could save one console and all their games...what would it be?

    I'd save whichever one that could play the civilization series, if pressed.

    Your earliest gaming experience?

    To get a sense, even a vauge one, about the type of people in this forums. I'm working on a couple articles I'd like to submit, but it is good to know what kind of gamers will be reading them.

    What bothers me about L4D

    Well, think of it. Four well-armed, skilled survivors would do extremely well against a classical shambling horde, in the context of the maps presented. The game would be far less exciting if the zombies could not run. As far cannonical zombies go, I have yet to see a video game about haitian...

    Your earliest gaming experience?

    I've been perusing the forums, and I realized with all the discussion about games, there has got to be radical differences in everyone's 'first time.' So the question is, what is earliest gaming experience you vividly remember? For example, my father played pong, but he remembers more about...
