    Are inventory weight limits a useless mechanic?

    I find weight limits to be a great mechanic for adding realism, but I feel that a lot of games have the problem of being stuck between reality and fantasy, where while there is a weight limit, the volume of a product doesn't seem to matter. In Skyrim, for instance, its possible to carry around...

    Starwars I-III would've been better if Darth Maul had survived Episode I

    Sure, it's more than likely that it would have been there, but we never really get to see Anakin's attachment in any way to Qui Gon, probably due to the fact that for a pivotal character, we don't know much about him. Sure, the extended universe gives us backstory, but the film itself would have...

    Why Have Mystery Games Stayed In the Realm of Point-and-Click?

    Yes, yes, L.A. Noire, but if anything, it just reaffirms my point. Although some of the game mechanics felt a bit contrived, the characters were uninteresting and the overall product felt fairly inelegant, I felt that at its core it was a great experience, and if better implemented, could have...

    Please turn in your geek card, sir/madam.

    Star Wars I felt ashamed when I misquoted Han Solo in Episode V when he greets Luke after he was in the bacta tank by saying "You look like you could pull the ears off a gundark." For the longest time, I had always thought he had said "You look like you could pull the ears off a GUNDAR." I was...

    Kid's first anime

    That, and Harry Potter's "magic wand" euphemism.

    What is the best turn-based combat system you have seen in a game?

    Well, if we use tabletop games, I guess I'd have to say that chess and go are some of the best.

    Kid's first anime

    No, just a bunch of bizarre Han SoloxLuke Skywalker or Darth VaderxLuke pairings.

    How is that related?

    Odd.

    What's Your Phobia?

    I can't even bring myself to kill spiders, and usually have to be at least 20 feet away from them at all times.

    What's Your Phobia?

    Title says it. Ever since I was little, I always had the irrational fear of spiders, and even to this day, seeing one is enough to send me cowering in the corner. I once broke my laptop while I was sitting on the sofa, typing a paper, and saw a spider. I immediately bolted upright, sending my...

    Best "Buddy-Cop" Film?

    For me, it's a tie between either the new 21 Jump Street or Rush Hour with Jackie Chan. Both were hysterical, but had better developed and less annoying characters than National Security and the like.

    What movie, TV show, anime, or videogame is the most over-quoted?

    Lots, usually coming from me. I didn't mention Star Wars due to me looking like as hypocrite, as I've said "Your Tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker!" At least 20 times this winter whenever someone has wanted to go outside and play in the snow.

    What movie, TV show, anime, or videogame is the most over-quoted?

    Sorry. I didn't know that this was a big thing. Has it happened before? My bad.
