Every video continues to make me less interested. It's bad enough they turned the tabletop into a bland, truncated system; it's a shame to see the digital variants follow suit. Where are the games like Balder's Gate, Planescape: Torment, and Neverwinter Nights that understand the medium that...

Oohh ohhh! Invite me! And we can play "Pre-1850 Navy". Seriously though. I worked in a multinational, multicultural travel business for many years, and got to hear accents from every inch of the globe. One of the things I learned was that there is rarely if ever a "Country" or "Language"...

This was completely made worth it by watching Jhonney Cage get trounced on the entire video. That is almost as good as a video watching Scott Summers (Cyclops) get punched in the face repeatedly.

Largely wasting your time explaining lore and canon here. I say this as a huge FR fan myself mind you. It's long been obvious WotC has lost touch with it's older demographic and has for years now been pouring money into trying to draw in new players with a substantial numbing down of various...

This. I really enjoy Movie Bob's movies. It's sad how often I quote him. I've heard that he sometimes does/says things for a knee jerk reaction, but I have never really seen evidence of that until now. I can't say I find much of value in this video outside of blatant speculation with an...

I suppose I am just not the kind of person this is geared towards. I loved the first one, but literally every review that comes out makes me less and less interested as they champion notions that I simply don't agree with at all. I'm sure it will be a great game for many, many people. I'm just...

Sure it's been mentioned, but I got tired of looking five pages in. The reason Predator's are a tribal society with such a high tech level is because it's not their technology. They scavenged it and their society got a massive boostie into space colonization before they had progressed past the...

I really well thought out article and an inspiring piece for fellow designers. I carry a similar philosophy in the things I work on and am always eager to taste as much of the worlds I help create as I can. This has led to everything from being thrown down a hill, a broadsword swung at my head...

And behold, I bump a thread almost two years old. Not without reason, as this is probably the most memorable thread I have ever encountered on a gaming forum and it touches through humor and nostalgia some of my fondest memories of a game and a genre of games we may not see the light of again...

I read one of these, just to fill in a momentary blank of time before I got ready to head home from work. I'm still here, amusingly enough. These stories were moving, amusing, both sad and uplifting. More than that, they were tangible. I love reading the reviews and articles here even though I...

This article made me very sad, but there is nothing I can really say that others already have not. I agree with partyofcobra and many who are echoing him, even if he was a little harsh in deliberation. I don't know, maybe it's warranted. You are a gamer. You are. The words you wrote, shame aside...

Talk about an overload of nostalgia. I've moved around a lot in live and thus passed through many different groups. So much of what you've mentioned as been an integral and happy part of my life growing up, and I am still immersed as deeply as my sanity will allow. Things are more difficult as...

Portal. In general. Also, Lemmings. In General.

In the next Elder Scrolls game, that should be how it starts. Literally.

Without a shred of doubt... taking the extra second to hit the button that makes your alien softly hiss, in Aliens Vs Predator 2 multiplayer, when sitting above an unsuspecting marine who thinks he's found a great camping spot. Nine times out of ten, they freeze a half second and look up, then...
