    Games you regret buying

    The original Neverwinter Nights. It kept crashing on me back when I first bought it, even though I had a decent gaming PC at the time that had better than what the game needed to run. Then, as time passed, and patches came out to keep it from crashing all the time, and I got an even better PC...

    Most annoying companion in a game?

    Warren Clive in Far Cry 2 gets my vote, partly. Just because he is one of those AI characters that's programmed to run into a fight without cover. I actually chose him as my character because I didn't want to let the AI control him so I'd be putting up with his mistakes.

    Things you were so sure you invented or done first.

    I invented the snuggie when I put a robe on backwards.

    Plot holes in "Avatar"

    I actually came to think that some of the other avatars weren't really avatars but just Na'vi who were just remnants from the school that got shut down or something (that was my first thought when I first saw them all outside), though I could be horribly wrong. Oh, and edit here: lol...

    Faucets, Sinks, and Markets

    Personally, I don't see much of a reason for there to even be such a market in some games. I prefer the simplified methods of earning up currency to buy better stuff (Far Cry 2). Though, in Spore, I saw it to be somewhat necessary to be in place, but yet, everything seemed to get so drawn out...

    Duel Citizenship, do you have one?

    I've just been through that man. I've been working on getting myself a work permit, but I have to leave for a while and come back before that can happen. To better explain, I'm a US citizen, but I have a girlfriend in Canada. I was also born in Germany, but I don't have dual citizenship...

    How many enimies have you killed in your gaming career? (A rough guess)

    I'd say a lot of enemies in Painkiller over and over (probably about 30,000) + 50,000 in L4D + all those enemies in Quake and Quake 2 + the thousands of people I've killed online. Then there's all those poor creatures from the time I spent playing other games, such as Super Metroid. I'd...

    232: Game Development for the Damned and Delirious

    I agree with the above post. I used to tour the Game Maker forums often, actually, and I will say from a Game Maker based magazine article that smarting small is the best thing you can do for yourself, as an individual. I screwed up big time in that aspect, and I learned that I am not a jack...

    Poll: games or sex?

    If you ask me, from personal experience, and from having a lot of female friends, I'd almost say that women have quite a fair bigger sex drive than men. :\ Correct me if I may be wrong, ladies, but that's just from observation.

    What game led you to the most amount of rage quits?

    This is why I quit playing CSS and went for TF2 as soon as Orange Box came around. I like Counter-Strike in concept, but it's definitely no fun to play with the way people generally play it. :\ Well, I'm going with Counter-Strike.

    Poll: games or sex?

    I'm not a virgin, and I can say that games are definitely more gratifying in the long run. Not much of a choice though is it? I mean, pleasure for one week and none for the rest of the year but good times for a full year without sex? Definitely a no-brainer there, unless you're really...

    What can save Sonic?

    Getting rid of the hub system in a game that's supposed to be fast-paced would be good for starters. That's what turned me off from Sonic Adventure, Unleashed, and, well, I need not mention Sonic 2006. Just get rid of the hub and put in a map or have no "in-between" bit at all. A game about...

    Poll: Do you ever feel discriminanted against as a Smoker?

    I imagine it's more-so just where you're from. I don't smoke, but I a lot of people who do seem to complain back home in Utah; however, I'm in Newfoundland right now, and everyone around here seemingly smokes.

    Favorite food to eat while gaming?

    I don't usually eat while playing a game, but I'd have to say M&M's, Wheat Thins, or grapes happens to be my top pick if I absolutely must.

    You can listen to 1 song before you die! What song?

    I'd actually either go with this or the original Major Tom.
