    Trying to get into Knights of the Old Republic...

    This guy knows what he's talking about. Difficulty Class was probably the best thing D20 ever did for table top RPGs, the rest of it is "meh..."

    Trying to get into Knights of the Old Republic...

    KOTOR was one of the best RPGs of its time when it came out. Sadly, it hasn't aged that well. The combat is slow, the "moral choices" are pretty cut and dry (there's good and there's evil, and it's pretty obvious which is which), the voice acting is poor compared to BioWare's more recent Mass...

    Ideas for a table-top RPG

    Hey y'all! So I'm putting together a mage game, and I was wondering if any of you guys had any suggestions. I've run a lot of games before, but have never been completely satisfied with the result. I was wondering if any of you who play table top RPGs have had any great experiences you...

    Poll: How many games do you need?

    Thanks to Steam's Holiday sales and holiday bonus, I have more games on hold right now than I ever will be able to play.

    AMD or Intel?

    I'm using an AMD PhenomII 945 Processor, quad core, 3 Ghz. It works wonderfully, and is as fast as I would ever need it to be in the foreseeable future. If you're looking into getting a new processor, I would check out newegg.com and look for bundle deals with motherboards. You can get some...

    The definitive list for the best LAN games of all time.

    I'm giving another vote to StarCraft, you can with up to 8 people and there are some great 4v4 team maps out there. Rise of Nations is often overlooked, but I had a lot of fun with it. If you're looking for something outside the RTS and FPS genres, and want to be able to play more than 4 people...

    Ever been in tears of laughter during a game?

    Borderlands character introduction. Sledge (p.s. you guys aren't friends) I ended up dying the first time through that mission because it was too hard to stop laughing.

    What PC RPG should I buy?

    I've played Bioshock, and I'd say it's the best game to come out in the past 5 years that I've had the pleasure of playing. I've also played KOTOR, which is also excellent. It was wonderful to see BioWare put out a product that was really quality after the disappointment that was Neverwinter...

    What PC RPG should I buy?

    I'd be downloading the games from Steam, so to avoid drm and securom and all that bullshit. It's totally worth the extra $10. I'm usually all for older games with good gameplay and stories, but after having this G4 Mac with 512 Megs of Ram which can barely play Rise of Nations and KOTOR, and...

    Poll: Do you often finish rented games?

    I'm surprised game rentals isn't a more popular industry. There are so many games out there that focus on a deep, meaningful story and a great single play through experience, rather than being able to have fun with a game 100 hours into it. Bioshock and Mass Effect come to mind (the former I...

    Poll: Fallout Series, My thoughts, your thoughts.

    Fallout 3 is so different from the other two, it's really comparing apples to oranges. Fallout 2 probably had a better story and was more engrossing and didn't have the problem with trying to appeal to a mass market, but Fallout 3 had some moments of pure genius that were lacking in the first...

    What PC RPG should I buy?

    So I just spent most of my last bits of money on a brand spanking new 3 GHz gaming PC with a Radeon HD 4890 Video Card and some other fancy gizmos, because I am totally financially responsible. With what little money I have left I was going to buy games for this new gaming PC (shockingly). I'm...

    Good PC games to play with my clan

    The other day, I met several charming young men at my local YMCA. I mentioned that I was doing some work on my house, and they offered to bring their truck over (they named it Stonewall Jackson) and help me get the whole neighborhood looking better! Well, they came over a little late, and I'd...
