    Do you play games while it is storming?

    It's easier with modern gaming, considering all of the checkpointing and auto-saving systems. If you're playing an older game (say, Final Fantasy VII, VIII, or IX) then that's where the true challenge comes.

    So, how did you break up?

    ...hm. I've only been broken up with (3 long term relationships in my life). My advice to anybody this situation would be: 1. Be honest and talk to her like a human being. Be sure to explain why with valid reasons. 2. Do it at her house (driving her home would be brutal) 3. Be gentle and...

    The Best Game You bought from the Bargain Bin

    Dark Sector for 3 bucks. It's definitely one of my top 10 games ever now.

    They say this game sucks... but I LOVE IT!

    This, Dark Sector, The Saboteur, and, for some, Majora's Mask.

    Your Three Word Brink Review

    Broken, addicting fun

    My worry about Brink...

    Just a little review, if you haven't player it yet: At first, the game isn't what you expected. It didn't meet my expectations but it was highly addictive once you get into it. There are A LOT of cheap, bullshit moments but I thought it was a fun rental. Not a buy, of course. As you level...

    It's official: I've been a target of identity theft in the wake of the PSN fiasco.

    A guy once stole my debit card info and paid his home bills with it. He was pretty easy to find and arrest.

    Poll: So why isn't there just a Call of Duty Zombies full game..?

    Yes. Without a doubt. With at least like, -6 or 7 maps or more each with a clever theme (underwater city, in the middle of World War II, in an abandoned city, in a normal neighborhood, etc.). -Include all of the old maps for both, previous games. -Tightened controls. -ADD A HEALTH BAR...

    Games that put you in tears?

    The only game that truly made me cry is Final Fantasy X (the ending). Final Fantasy IX and One Chance (Flash game) both got really close too.

    Suggestions of good SOLO FPS?

    You've pretty much got all the best FPS experiences right there. Bioshock, Metro 2033, Portal... Perhaps try Legendary (360)? It should be cheap now. Werewolves and a pretty sweet Bioshock-energy system with it. Time Shift is an underrated gem in my mind. Time manipulation with an FPS. So...

    Gamers OK With CoD DLC Prices, Says Treyarch

    15 bucks could also nab you a copy of Bayonetta, or Darksiders, or Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. Much superior games compared to useless DLC maps. Now, if they made a $15 ZOMBIE MAP PACK with 3 or 4 new Zombie maps, i'd be ALL OVER that shit.

    Gamers OK With CoD DLC Prices, Says Treyarch

    This. 15 bucks for a non-multiplayer-playing player is total bullshit. I play SPLIT-SCREEN multiplayer. Anybody remember that shit? And how fun it was? They'd make SO much more money lowering the price to 10 bucks or, hell, even 5.

    So... why start smoking?

    Maybe if you do smoke a pack a day. However, if you're someone like me who can do it occasionally for a normal stress reliever, none of this will happen to you. It's all bullshit they tell you as kids to scare you off. If you know someone who smokes a couple packs a day though, lecture them...
