    Any GOOD fanfics out there?

    It really depends on what you're looking for to say the least, and there's a lot of choices. I think in the end it also depends on what you may consider 'good' since everybody has a different idea of just what 'good' is. TV Tropes has a page titled 'FanFic Recommendations which are...

    A game says f*** you

    Urban Reign for the Playstation 2 would count in my book for a bunch of reasons. Key among them being that on some levels, the whole Mook Chivalry trope is something you'll be glad happens on a few occasions, but unlikely on the later levels where enemies will be more than glad to gang up on you...

    When you discover artists or songs in video games Why do some people make an issue of it?

    It?s interesting seeing everyone?s replies, and like I said before, I?ve had my own ideas about why some people make an issue of other people who discover X artist/group or Y song in Z game. To everyone who has and will reply, thanks. To be honest, I wasn?t sure if it would even be a...

    When you discover artists or songs in video games Why do some people make an issue of it?

    What's even sadder for me is that in spite of knowing The Who's songs well before I ever though about watching CSI, there are times I now associate the 3 particular songs use for the themes with them in spite of having heard them a LOT before then. Go figure. That and there's a reason why...

    When you discover artists or songs in video games Why do some people make an issue of it?

    Well, I actually had heard of CCR and the Rolling stones well before Black ops, it was more like I was reminded since one of the more memorable times for CCR for me was from the film Forrest Gump, I have heard and listened to a lot of songs by the Rolling Stones (and Radiohead, Red Hot Chili...

    When you discover artists or songs in video games Why do some people make an issue of it?

    Apologies if this has already been brought up, but I could not find said thread, so if so, point it out to me please. TD;DR version - While it's a few months old (of an issue if not longer), it's bound to happen again so I'll just ask it. Why do some people make it an issue that one must...

    What the Black Ops weapon list should have been

    I'm sure Treyarch knows what the 74 in an AK is, as they do the CZ75, or the Enfield and every other gun that has shown up far earlier than they should, say what you will about them, I doubt they are that stupid. But to each their own opinion, for all that's worth.

    What the Black Ops weapon list should have been

    it may be a cop out, but call me insane to suggest it's a bit of 'Rule of cool', and maybe they wanted to make the game cover a more broader timeline but couldn't, that and the fact given it's black ops, maybe playing around with the idea of what we think came out at a given time or not. Or...

    Did BLUR really fail?

    There's a reason why to this day I still refuse to buy Modern Warfail 2 for the PC, while the story is one issue (lets just say if you look back, some things will make more sense, but I'm not in the mood of even trying to remotely defend it right now), there's the multiplayer and of course, the...

    Black Ops Sequel?

    Call me crazy, but there is a chance that it could be Price's dad. Given there was a Price in the earlier call of duty games during WW2, it may be possible that the 'Price' that may or may not appear is Price's dad and the price we know in the modern warfare games is the son. In summary...

    Western game music take 2

    Western game music Take 2 A few months ago when doing a Google search on western game music, I came across both the Article and Forum thread (the latter found http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.125140-Japanese-Composers-Say-Western-Game-Music-is-Dry?page=1) about how a few Japanese...

    Poll: Battlefield: Bad Company 2! How To Not Suck!

    A video I found about 'How not to be a noob'...I'm aware this has been posted elsewhere at least once, but I'm putting it up here anyway, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcZ3wXF3r14 I don't know if I should find it ironic or whatever... I haven't had much time with Bad Company 2, so me...
