Having a job (even the shitty pizza delivery job I've attained) will abet your addiction. Oh, and saving money helps too. Really the best advice is that given by many preceding posters: to buy games when their price drops to about 30 US dollars. And remember America, you can always save...

From an experience stand point, I don't know, I've never lived in or visited Germany. However, I do know a foreign exchange student from Germany who I've become quite good friends with who gives a glowing review of the place, and everything I've read, seen, and heard on the web and from other...

I'm 18! Meaning in America, I'm a legal adult and can drin...wait, have to be 21. Rent a hotel roo....wait, have to be 21 in most states...shit, can't really do much even when you're an "adult" in America *sigh*.

Absolutely, I wish I lived in the classical period of history (800 BC-400ish AD) in pretty much anywhere in the Mediterranean, but my top two choices of locations would be ancient Greece or Rome itself. How amazing would it be to witness firsthand the vibrancy, optimism, and intellectual...

About every hour go into the bathroom and splash cold water on your face, I find that temperature shock is almost as good of a physiological wake-up as a cup of coffee. The most important thing to do to keep yourself awake is the most simple as well: stay active. Always be doing SOMETHING...

Hi, I'm from the United States of America, known as the Third Chauvinist Capital of the World along with North Korea and the PRC. "THERE ARE TROLLS IN MY BASEMENT WEARING PINK HATS!"

The quality of graphics absolutely "matters" in a game. Better graphics=greater immersion in game play experience, one feels as if they are a constituent of the gaming environment if a game has superb graphics. Greater immersion (generally)=a greater playing experience, as the more one...

Honestly, I'm stunned more developers don't make games set in the Peloponessian War era. A game that tells the story of one of the greatest internecine quarrels ever known to any particular civilization, how could that not be awesome? Necessarily, I agree with other posters agitating for...

Oh boy... Swedish, Norwegian, German, Scottish, Russian, Israeli (Jewish on mom's side), Czeck, a little British... Mainly Scandinavian, I guess. Edit: Oh, and I'm a male.

around $50 for a video game. About $40 for a PC game. $30 for a hand held game. Video game's are probably the most expensive to market, distribute, and produce, so I think right around $50 is a fair price. PC games should be a bit less as they most likely cost slightly less to...

I've come close to crying but never cried over any particular game experience. I think the non-legendary ending of Halo 3 nearly made me cry. I'm sure ME2 nearly made me cry several times. Thinking about the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, because it gets me so damn nostalgic... I...

And.......Do you classify yourself an American or an inhabitant of the state you reside in?

I'm an American. I live in Wisconsin, but all that truly means is that I live in a department of the nation of the United States that at one time or another, a couple wealthy white men decided to demarcate a large chunk of land along certain boundaries and name that chunk of land "Wisconsin"...

This. A Spartan warrior was a very talented individual warrior, indeed, but where a Spartan warrior (and all Greek warriors of the classical world, for that matter) thrived was in position, shield in left hand, spear in right hand and ready to strike among his fellow citizenry in the ranks of...

Males like playing as female characters in video games for the same reasons men (and all who play video games) play video games in the first place: because video games are fun, new, and exciting. When a male gamer elects to manipulate a female commander Shephard in Mass Effect 2, he did so...
