    Jimquisition: The Adblock Episode

    The only thing I'll go out of my way to block on sites like the escapist are those infuriating ads that border the video and grey everything else out, effectively removing ALL other functionality from the site. The other stuff is annoying but that I can deal with.

    Hindus Criticize Smite For "Trivializing" Their Religion

    Hi-Rez better add Muhammad as a stealth character. Also, "ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!" Just saying.

    Poll: Am I the only one who thinks the way Valve is run is kind of stupid?

    The only gripe I have with valve is that they haven't said ANYTHING about the half-life series at all. zero communication is hardly the best policy in any matter and this is no exception. I would even be happy to hear "there will be no more half-life games, ever." Just so long as it's SOMETHING.

    What is the appeal of horror games?

    I prefer suspense and atmosphere in horror games more than blood/gore. games like dead space just feel like action games with the blood dial cranked way up to me, but play through a game like condemned, or it's sequel before it went all "Indigo Prophecy Syndrome" (thanks Yahtzee!)and you've got...

    Poll: Are you happy with your real name?

    Not too fond of my first name really. It's Simon, so I was pretty much doomed to my geeky fate from birth. still there aren't too many black people with my name out there so that's different I suppose.

    Poll: What's your favourite type of gun and why?

    Revolver. Cause nothing says "Before you stands the epitome of high class and lethality, both a walking death-machine AND a true gentleman" better than a quality 6-shooter.

    spending more time scrolling through the UI during a fight than actually fighting breaks it for me.

    Why I think GTA V will be a PS3 exclusive.

    the reason why I know it wont be a PS3 exclusive? the trailer was all over my 360's dashboard.

    You have a gun with one bullet...

    Shoot war for irony points, then go ape-shit on world hunger with the butt of the gun. I mean hell he hasn't eaten in weeks I could take him blindfolded!

    steam/skyrim just screwed me over

    I have no idea if this would work or not, but maybe you could try uninstalling steam before installing the game? there's gotta be some kind of backup plan for anyone without the service right? probably a dumb idea but its what i would do.

    How do you deal with your Fears when playing a Video Game?

    Fear? that's what my SHOTGUN is for! So called "scary" games can make me jump a little but no more than that, being startled at those cheap ass pop-out-and-go-boo scares and actually building a sense of fear in a person are different matters entirely. however as a kid I couldn't play ocarina...
