    Trailers: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon - State of the Art Storytelling

    Having played the game (rented it from Redbox, returned it on the second night after a campaign playthrough) I enjoyed the voicing and characterizations, though I never developed an attachment to them quite like I did in AC:5. Honestly, I enjoyed the story; it was short and cliched, but very...

    How come I don't get classic literature?

    Its all about History. Don Quixote was one of the first real novels. The Divine Comedy (which includes Inferno) provides an excellent glimpse into Renaissance Italy's politics and outlooks (you have to look past the awesome descriptions of Hell to see that). There isn't anything wrong with...

    Using your nostalgia glasses, what is your favorite game?

    Morrowind (I've still never completed the main quest, I just get sidetracked on added mod content), and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (Every Civ game can suck it compared to Alpha Centauri).

    DMing Problem - Don't Split the Group

    Start here [http://wizards.com/Company/Brands/DnD.aspx]. There is a link near the bottom about DnD Encounters, a common event where a game store or other venue runs a short session or series of session, and new players are not only welcome, but actively encouraged. You shouldn't need to bring...

    Odd features you find attractive.

    Myself (male): Prominent front teeth. If she grins, and you can just glimpse her two front teeth, I get hypnotized. Next, I like soft, strokeable skin. Baby soft, that is, especially on the cheeks and hands. And lastly, I tend to find stomachs hard to resist. They don't have to be flat or...

    What Would You Pay/Do For A Portal Gun?

    I would sleep with Snooki to get my fiancee a Portal Gun. She promised she would still sleep with me afterwards, once my therapy and extensive purification was over. And we'd have a Portal Gun!

    Poll: Do we nice guys still stand a chance?

    Redford's Girlfriend says: I am a girl who dated/been around guys who were jerks and I HATED it. Redford, though I know he's gonna read this, is one of the nicest guys that I have ever known and has been that way since the day I met him. Most of my friends prefer guys like him because nice...

    Characters you like that others don't.

    I like Shinji (Evangelion) a lot. Considering what he has gone through, and how he has been thrown without preparation or training into horrific battles with nightmarish monsters, I understand where his problems come from. He's a sensitive Japanese child, not an internet tough-guy, and...

    Your favorite anime character is now your school teacher.

    My girlfriend's answer: I would love to have Kirino (from Ore no Imouto) teach me how to me a model while hiding all my anime stuff from my family! Long live otaku!

    Tell me your favorite television show of all time.

    Modern Family, 30 Rock, and sure, My Little Pony. My gf LOVES that show... and ... I think it's good too.

    If your significant other cheated...

    1. Would honesty make a difference? Would you be willing to work through it? I am convinced that I've found my soulmate, and I've known her long enough to know her strengths and weaknesses. If she made a mistake in a moment of weakness, and honestly regrets it, then yes, I would work through...

    What else do you do while gaming?

    I'm one of the few people who actually read all the codex entries, in-game books, and other non-voiced bits of text in RPGs. Consequently, I often have lunch while catching up on the fictional history of various fantasy and science-fiction worlds. Bioware games and Morrowind are both excellent...

    Most Badass Weapon in a game

    The ricochet pistols in Advent Rising, especially once you get them up to skill level 3. Nothing like doing a slow-mo dive through the air, using flick-targeting (it worked better on the PC) to zero in on separate enemies with a pistol in each hand, and watching six aliens die from only two...
