I think people need to remember that how MMOs function isn't necessarily common knowledge, especially to the console market. I would think DCUO is the first MMO most of its users have played. And despite how simple it seems to us that are in the know, the general public seems to have a really...

I'm going to say Morrowind, the world was huge and you could wander around indefinitely, though there are longer main stories out there. There was just a certain immensity and depth to the narrative of Morrowind. Also due to the detailed history the story kinda started before the gameplay.

I read The Economist for the important stuff.

Took me a moment to realize the poll was asking about soccer, I thought it was weird that somebody was mentioning football at this time of year... Which probably tells you how much of a crap I give about the World Cup. Football (international usage) seems a lot like basketball except it's slower...

Just be direct and sincere: "Hey can we go out sometime?" or "I'd like to get to know you better, can we grab some dinner?" My wife and I started dating with a "Do you want to grab some coffee?" It's just that simple.

I enjoy the dynamics and rhythm, but a large part of the appeal for me and perhaps others are the lyrics. Their lyrics often deal with everyday life and domestic themes which I find very relatable at this point in my life. I would definitely look more to Strawberry Jam than Merriweather Post...

Definitely check the reviews for Phantom Hourglass first though, the Ocean Temple was game-breaking for me at least... Don't know about Spirit Tracks. Also of the Castlevania games Portrait of Ruin is probably the best starting point.

I've found Picross3D incredibly addictive, Retro Games Challenge is a gem if you can find it, those are the two on my shelf with the most universal appeal. Oh yeah, and /agree on getting a DSLite over a DSi
