It was assuredly faked. "A success rate of 33.3% (the three repeating, of course)" is a dead giveaway. You can't just calculate a probability of success at something as complex and subject to human and technological error as a raid in vanilla WoW. I've never raided before, but I'm pretty sure...

This is what would do it for me: More focus on the combat, but don't neglect the puzzles either. Possibly integrate the enemies into the puzzles. Make the games more cerebral. The series has gotten very formulaic, as we've seen. Added mystery, added lore, etc. Make NPCs a little more...

Okay, it's been more than a year after Super Smash Bros. Brawl was released, but I think this is a good time to review it. At this point, we've all gotten past the hype and we've had time to see exactly what we like and what we don't about Brawl, some of our opinions colored yellow with a...

Look at her body, there is no way she isn't the sword.

Recall that this is the entire Half-Life series. That means you could side with the scientists, security, soldiers, or Xen aliens (though the latter would probably wind up killing you anyway). Personally, if the G-Man didn't wind up putting him away for all eternity, I'd want to side with Adrian...

*Tries not to turn this into a flame war.* I'm not going to bother going into detail with Metallica, because that's not what this thread is about. All I was trying to get at with them was that both Metallica and Queensryche put out albums that impressed a lot more than people assumed they...

By the way, if anyone has gotten the album, feel free to add your reactions to it.

I was an atheist at some point. Right now, I don't really care, I just don't associate myself with any religious group because I can't see the sense in believing in or debating the existence of that which cannot be proven. I take a few interesting parts of my worldview from Scott Adams' God's...

There was a time when I was afraid to fight King Bob-Omb in Mario 64 and Queen Gohma in Ocarina of Time.

For a band as politically and socially outspoken as Queensryche, and given their recent history with their releases, one would imagine that an entire album written based on stories of soldiers who served in Korea (lead singer Geoff Tate's father Perry, in the first time he ever actually came out...

Sorry, it's a duplicate. Mods, please delete this one.

Ah, thank you very much. If there's any other advice, I'm more than willing to hear it. I will be using Vista, thank you. Oh, and if anyone can suggest a good, relatively light anti-virus software I could make use of, that would be great too.

I'm a wannabe PC gamer - I love how PC games look, there are no console wars, just brainy, technical stuff. The problem is that my computer is a factory-line Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop from summer '08, which is around basically to serve me for college. I used to have The Orange Box installed, and...

I don't think Valve ever set out to make a thematic game, make a statement, or anything like that. A lot of their games are really entertaining, with pretty intriguing stories and scenarios, but I don't recall Half Life ever making me consider my actions or anything like that. Gordon is a clear...

Whatever he damn well wants to have. He'll probably open it at the end of HL2: Episode 3 and kick ass with whatever is inside.
