My mother tried to ground me a lot. This typically resulted in me disappearing for a few days at a time (with all the stuff I needed to still make it to school, and I'd find my way there and do my work). My dad, on the other hand, was very difficult to make angry, but once I did, he and I were...

I would say Red Dead Redemption hit that note for me, but that's not accurate, as I know exactly why I got sick of that: The main character. As far as games I really liked, but lost interest in and have yet to revisit, Yakuza 3 heads up that list. It was awesome, I loved it, I got distracted...

Eh. It's alright, but I find that I have the same problems with it that I do with moviebob's stuff. I keep watching because there are times of genuine humor in there, but each week is more pretentious than the last, and the delivery is just not very fun. Yes, Yahtzee is also an opinionated...

On topic, it took me 3 years to be willing to listen to certain bands after one of my first relationships. That one lasted a week. On the other hand, the one that lasted on and off for 2 years and at it's longest full run was 10 months left virtually no wounds, and I was out feeling fine...

I totally agree, and it does make sense, in fact, when you start looking for long term, close friend who share similar values and outlooks become the most desired partners. HOWEVER: If you're at the point where you're using an internet forum to try to make the break out, dude, then it's a...

SMACKDOWN VS RAW 2011! They're letting you aim your throws, instead of it being based on angle of the initial grab. I hope HBK is still in it so I can have a few hours just beating the heck out of 'taker to get revenge for Wrestlemania. (Via throws through tables, chairs, ladders, etc.)...

I'm a hard worker, generally honorable, and loyal to a fault.

This attitude, right here, that comes from a good portion of the teenage population, is what annoys me most.

The characters are unlikable, winy, effeminate pricks who somehow have unrealistically potent physical capabilities, the stories are linear and so steeped in cultural bullshit that it isn't accessible to people from other cultures who didn't spend their developing years ingrained in so much...

NCAA 11- I don't know why, but it just isn't as addictive as '10 and '07 were, despite having honed the run game to damn near a science. Also, sports games in general: Higher difficulty should mean better enemy AI, it should not mean the differences in player stats get kicked into overdrive...

Bully 2. (Never going to happen, the first one didn't make good enough market figures, despite being the best GTA game since Vice City.) Sly Cooper 4. (Never going to happen, Sucker Punch considers Sly over and done with, and are focusing on InFamous, which I'm cool with since InFamous was...

Once again, I have to say I enjoy these. They add an immersiveness to the game where you feel like you are the character, and that you're helping someone else, instead of constantly just going from place to place slitting up everything around. Don't get me wrong, there are some terrible escort...

I'm actually quite fond of that system, it immerses the player into their character without needing to be in 1st person to feel like you ARE Cole McGrath, instead of simply being his handler. As far as overused features I'm fucking sick of: Trophies requiring online play. Unlocking trophies...

That is a valid argument to which I would respond that if you're only going to do the right thing when other people are, then you don't deserve the title of HERO. A Hero is, by definition, special, it is a title that implies a will to do the right thing, even though it is hard, even when nobody...

I protected the colonists. My squad signed up for what they were doing, and they knew the risks that would be asked of them, the colonists did not. I very firmly believe that nothing justifies collateral damage. This is also why I am willing to take the life of someone who has chosen to be...
