    Remove one feature from an excellent game to make it awful

    I personally don't like Bioshock at all (and certainly not for lack of trying), but I can see why lots of people do; the visuals are fantastic, the premise is interesting, and the environment is amazingly cool. Taking away any of that would've made it unpleasant. As for being scared in...

    Remove one feature from an excellent game to make it awful

    You bring up a very good point. Even a game with a less-than-good soundtrack would be significantly worsened. Hell, if they took the music out of Halo, I would... uh... subject the Bungie staff to very unpleasant things. OT: The vehicles and/or syrettes in Far Cry 2. That would be awful.

    The Best Game You bought from the Bargain Bin

    My brother and I got that and Dead Rising 2 at a clearance sale the week before ZP's top and bottom fives came out- best investment we've ever made.

    If you could fill a swimming pool with anything but water...

    This was my first thought when I saw this thread, almost word-for-word. I miss those ball pits... Other than that, though... Wait, how big can the swimming pool be? If we're talking indefinite size, I'm calling dibs on this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn2-d5a3r94&feature=related

    Your signature melee weapon

    Even fewer still have them after doing so. My choice would be a Bo staff or naginata because they're versatile. And, since my gamertag is Paulunator, I would call it the "Paulunator stick".

    Quotes from your own life

    Very profound- you have a way with words. "Kremlin goat waffles." -Me "Here are the smoke bombs. Here are the matches. Go play in the woods." -my mom (it was an interesting childhood) "My Creative Writing teacher is what you would get if you crossed Alice Cooper with Yoda. This semester...

    I sentence you to death by ____________________

    Very good! Let's see... I sentence you to possible death after civilized negotiation! Release the prisoner and bring in a table, some chairs, and some tea.

    Poll: How many languages can you fluently speak?

    Dammit, I was going to say that! Like most of my fellow Americans, English is the only language (other than sarcasm) that I can speak and understand with true fluency. However, I can speak German well enough to get by. And yes, I do know how to say things other than "Wo ist die amerikanische...

    Games that are going to suck...

    I'll get the fire hose... Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. CoD4 was quite good, but MW2 just ended up being silly. My hopes are not high for the third installment, but I'll probably get it anyway simply because it'll almost certainly be VERY functional and more entertaining than other games...

    Poll: Alpha Protocol 2?

    Ehhh... I wouldn't be too sure about that... This is Sega we're talking about... No, seriously, I haven't played much of AP, but from what I've seen so far, I'm genuinely amazed that it came out of Sega and Obsidian. I've had zero bugs so far (but now that I know it's buggy I'll make sure to...

    English kayakers capture shot of lake monster

    I agree. Video would be much more conclusive. Video shot with an IR camera would be better. I choose to remain skeptical until they get convincing footage of people actually interacting with said critter. Even if it's faked, if they went to that much trouble to set up an animatronic thing...

    if you were a deity...

    :D Glad to see I'm not the only one who understands the subtleties of religion. Normally I'd be a little more sophisticated on a thread like this, but my pills wore off a couple of hours ago, so so much for that.

    Hello America, one question. Why do you ruin all your best television shows?

    I would like to point out that as terrible as American TV is, there's one show we came up with that will probably be immortally entertaining, which is AFV. People and animals doing stupid things is a source of comedy that will never run dry.

    if you were a deity...

    May I start writing a new Bible starring you as Jesus? That's seriously the only thing holding the human race back.
