Other On any console game I will immediately invert however I have never done so on my PC. Also while I very much prefer inverted I can teach myself to get used to non-inverted if needed to play a good game. (emphasis on "good")

I find it hard to believe that they were not aware of how fake the people and sets looked. It almost seemed that either they were going for a cartoonishly modeled look (perhaps reference to old Japanese monster films) or this was just a low budget proof of concept. What other reason could they...

I feel like I should cast a vote for Wado Ryu style of Karate, being a long time practitioner of it but the reality is that there is no such thing as a superior martial art, only superior martial artist. A master of any style will always beat an adept of another. However as far as cool ideas...

Vegemite was originally the leftover yeast extract from brewing beer.

Often I find with people like this is that they are more interested in winning the argument than actually being right. So for me I generally don't enter into the argument with lines such as "I've never heard that. I'll have to look into it." or simply walk away. This stops the argument...

Years ago I used it a random name for a character I was playing on a game (I forget what it was) and just ended up using for everything. I later googled it along with all my mates online names and found that no-one was using mine in anyway aside from me so I stuck with it.

Due to the physical nature of my job I have just about no spare time in my day at all but when I do find a moment to sit I get bored very quickly. I started doing origami some time ago and found that it keeps me entertained and the kids I work with seem to enjoy the creations.

I work with children with the full spectrum of autism and can confirm that it is a spectrum and so every case is dramatically different. With that in mind it is possible that there is a level of Aspergers behind your social difficulty. That being said from what you have said it does not sound...

Thanks again everyone. Many of the hints I had considered myself such as the complex controls. We do forget just how much time we have put into these things to get so good at them. The solo ideas are also a great point. I reckon I might get her to try a few different ones that I might not like...

Some good ideas there. Thanks. Keep them coming if you can. The more I have to go on the better.

So here's the deal. My girlfriend is not really a gamer. She does commonly steal my phone to play Angry Birds and I recently convinced her to try Portal which she did like. Since then she has been keen to try different games so we have something else we can spend our time doing together in our...

While I never outright harmed myself I did go looking for fights knowing that I would get hurt. I was more interested in harming someone else but also enjoyed the pain. I suppose that kinda counts as self harm but not really so I shall vote "other".

Going all the way back to Interactive Fiction from Infocom. Planetfall when Floyd finds the remains of his friend the medical bot. He had been talking about him earlier and then to find the scrapped heap. It was only a few lines of text but also the greatest emotional response I have ever...

I have the boxs to both the original Unreal and Baldur's Gate. Not sure which one came first cos they are both from 98.

For some unknown reason I am really scared of wind. I'm told it's a phobia that i share with my grandfather but neither of us seem to be able to explain what it is that makes us so scared of it.
