    Does practice make perfect?

    I was actually talking about FPS. Not all FPS games, though, I specifically had Team Fortress 2 in mind. But yes, RTS also.

    Does practice make perfect?

    Practice DOES NOT make perfect. PERFECT practice makes perfect. In other words, if you play online and use the same strategies and tactics over and over you will not get better. Your twitch reaction will get better, your knowledge of the game will improve, but these have a limit. To actually...

    Why so much hate for Turn Based Games?

    I love turn based. I grew up on 'em and still play them on my tabletop every Saturday. I think this is where my experience in tabletop helps; watching and waiting during a battle comes naturally to me and FEELS natural because of my experience in turn based combat. I suppose, in all honesty...

    What games are honestly not worth it?

    I disagree with brenflood on the subject of Rock Band. I payed full retail price when it came out, and I play it at least every other day. Still. And I buy the downloadable songs (most of them). And I work 20 hours a week part time. That, however, is the ONLY game I have bought at full price...

    Can bethesda make fallout 3 better than oblivion?

    I'll admit that while I have a big ol' raging hard-on for the Fallout series, Bethseda looks like they're doing a really good job. I can tell you right now; I will love this game. I can look at screen shots of a game in early production, read a few tidbits, and instantly decide whether or not I...

    Breaking the 'fourth wall'

    How about Baten Kaitos? In it and its prequel, you are a character in the game. As in YOU, dude with the controller; you're a extradimensional guardian spirit who helps guide the main characters through the game. Often times the party will turn towards the camera and ask, "What do you think we...

    Zero Punctuation: Oblivion

    I had a lot of fun with Oblivion but Yahtzee pretty much hit the nail on the head with its biggest flaw (the immersion thingy). I was so happy when news of Fallout 3 came out and they said that they were dwindling down the number of NPCs so they could have individual voices and characterization...

    just how weird are you?

    I can't eat fruit without severe intestinal difficulties, but fruit juice with no pulp is okay. I can play the drums and have a good sense of rhythm, but if I am not at my kit I cannot keep a beat to save my life. I live in sunny California but absolutely hate the heat; I plan on moving to...

    When did reading become a thing to hate?

    I am so tired of hearing that. I like rap, and I am not an idiot. It's not the music that causes stupidity, it's stupid people making the music. There is intellectual rap if you are willing to look for it.

    Amusing language barriers and your favorite words

    I enjoy using outdated slang. For example, saying the word "Tits" to mean something good or cool.

    When did reading become a thing to hate?

    Going back to the Shakespeare thing (who I agree can be very vulgar and HILARIOUS), a few years back in High School, in California, we were studying Othello and reading parts of it in class (apparently that was the only place some people would read it at all). My teacher stopped after the "beast...
