    Poll: "Final Fantasy XV is the last chance I'll give the series"

    I have played nearly all the FF games, and I anticipate I'll continue to play future titles, if my current situation maintains equilibrium. I hold a more unorthodox opinion that FFXIII wasn't really as deplorable as lots of people make it out to be, it's an overall good game, but suffers from...

    Poll: Favorite version of The Walking Dead

    Just like most others, I liked the tell tale version of Walking Dead best. I have read a bit of the comic (the second volume) and only the first few episodes on TV, but they could never get me interested. Despite the illusion of choice in the video game, it was great drama. I could actually feel...

    Have people grown bored with zero puncutaion

    I never commented on ZP like some others, but yes, your sentiment is correct in my case, cookyy. I enjoyed his earlier episodes, and the middle ones immensly, but I got tired a bit in the last year or so. I'll pop in and watch it now and then, though. Maybe it's because of the opening and...

    Common Tropes you Refuse to Believe are Real

    Or one in comics, but anime/manga are especially guilty of, where a person can think clearly in the time of a swing or a punch/ sword or the shot of a gun. Heck, it might not even be thinking, character can go through monologues when falling, or just about to be hit by something, when we all...

    Favorite Books (excluding Rowlings and Tolkien works)

    There are a number of them, but only two at this moment stick to my mind. Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa. A true classic. Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Mostly because I am currently reading the 14th and final book, A Memory of Light. Not the perfect book by any means, has a lot of...

    What Are Some Good Movies Where The GOOD GUY Fails?*

    Infernal Affairs. Although the ending was changed to a good ending for viewing in China, I think. Perhaps you could put The Departed in that list, even though the bad guys doesn't get away.

    Bizarrely Easy Boss Fights

    Barbarossa from Suikoden I. Many other Suikoden fans talk about how easy they had it against other final bosses in the Suikoden series, from 2 up to 5. While there was a bit of a challenge for hte Suik2, 3, and 5 final bosses, the Suik4 boss was boringly easy, but I don't hear anyone mention...

    What's your current desktop background?

    Blackness. Total blackness. No special desktop background for me. And I like it.

    Have you ever bought a game multiple times?

    I also bought Diablo 2 twice, the second time once the first set of disks wouldn't play, scratched or something like that, i can't remember. But buying the same game for multiple platforms, never.

    Jimquisition: You Should Be Mad at Diablo III's Always Online DRM

    I don't like the idea that I am to be pressured into going multiplayer. Why go through the facade of having a single player mode is this game is so focused on multiplayer as you say? Why not just plain out say that D3 should be an MMO? And having an offline mode shouldn't be a discouragement...

    Jimquisition: You Should Be Mad at Diablo III's Always Online DRM

    Here's the thing, I, and many, many other I know, did not buy D3 for the multiplayer. I wanted the single player, just as I did in D2. And to many people, making single player mode online seems to be a step back. The optimal solution to me would be to allow an offline single player mode...

    Poll: Rest of world. Opinion on this wonderful fact from Australia?

    Indifferent. Both to the consumption of kangaroo meat (which tastes like very lean beef) or emu meat (haven't tasted that...yet), and to the concept that eating animals from your country's coat of arms is something akin to sacrilege.

    Does it piss you off when people text at a movie theater?

    texting can be annoying, yes. but as other pointed out, talking during the movie is much worse and more disrupting.
