Whilst I think you were a tool to correct her (as every second person in the thread has pointed out), it wasn't sexist, and you were in the right. Frankly, all these gender neutral titles seem very 1984 to me. "You don't need to refer to them as a gender, they are your comrades regardless."...

People piloting helicopters from the left hand seat. Must have a helluva time reaching the controls from there, and if it has dual controls and they're not left handed (looking at you, Rico) it's going to be a rough ride. Though i guess that's just american devs making assumptions since they...

Oh yea... it took me bloody ages to find Twin Snakes as well. Eventually had to get a copy from Switzerland for about $80au, and the box/manual are in German. It's not a huge issue for me, especially since it has the cooler PAL boxart, but i'd still prefer it to be in english, just to match the...

Which is why i personally think the Black Templars would be the best for movie use (or perhaps the Blood Ravens, but... eh...), they're pretty straight foreward true sons of the Emperor, but are still interesting, especially when contrasted against whatever they choose as the main baddies.

I bought a PS2 about a year ago (i used to be strictly Nintndo and PC man) to play Snake Eater (and FFX/X-2/12, but i'd already emulated them, so i just felt obligated to buy them), which... turned out to be quite the challenge. I found Snake Eater itself all over the place, but no where had...

Really? I just checked and the only listings for "Deus Ex" are on PC and mac. There is however something called "Deus Ex: The Conspiricy" for PS2, is that what you're talking about? Because in that case, i stand corrected, but obviously maintain the PC version would be superior.

I think he means the first one, dude, which is PC only, unlike Invisible War (which was rubbish). But i still maintain that just because a game is also on a console, does not mean it should be played on a console. Hell, the only time it's reasonable to do so in my eyes is in the case of...

How has no one said Crysis yet...? It's by far one of the best shooters yet released. Also Unreal Tournament 2004 is the best multiplayer FPS (far better then UT3...). Other then that, the STALKER games are a must, not a "eh maybe" but an absolute must. And i'd also recommend most of the Tom...

I suppose. But you don't see any men kept as sex slaves in game. Though i do have my doubts with Duty... But let's just say that any woman would have a... much more of a an uphill battle to avoid instant death/enslavement.

Uh, wouldn't it be stranger if there were women? Think about what would happen to anything not male in the Zone. A place with with untold horror, mutants, and the worst criminals in the world. To be blissfully sexist, the Zone is no place for a lady.

You mean... the internet... In the same way we've had it for yonks? My understanding is more like that onlive crap, where something else does something, and you just see the outcome. Well, that's it in a nutshell.

What exactly were they saying? Personally i think it's too early to tell, but i don't like the idea of requiring uplinks to function. Pretty much when i think of cloud computing i think of Skynet and Ubisoft DRM together...

Oh the usual. Tv guides, video game manuals, backs of cereal boxes. That and i've got a huge pile of books getting bigger and bigger... At the moment though i just started King Soloman's Mines by M. Rider Haggard, after that though i'll go onto Without Remorse by Tom Clancy, or...

I thought Zork came out roughly the same time as Space Quest 1? Ah, well, my mistake. But yes, i've played through Zork, Zork Zero, and Return to Zork. If there's one thing i never want to hear of again... it's a Grue...

Ah... you're all so young... My first memory i THINK would be Space Quest. It was a dos game, that came on a 5 1/2 inch(?) disc, which was actually floppy. I'm not sure if i can remember before that though... It had pixels the size of your fist, and to do anything, you had to type out the...
