    Story of Portal 2?

    This is true, but you forget we are dealing with Valve here. They're just the kind of crazies that like to give a puzzle game about a psychotic robot, a nameless girl and her pet cube a hidden story!

    What's Your Geeky Ringtone?

    I want this so badly! Too bad Rogers Canada locks unpurchased MP3 for ringtone use. For a while on my old phone I had the Final Fantasy "Victory theme" which I loved. Also: :woot:

    Does being drunk affect your gaming performance?

    Oh, glorious alcohol! Like mixing with any other liquids, it seems to have varying effects on me when games come into the picture. The "Mario Party 4 Drinking Game" was one of the worst nights of my life, but I get incredibly good at SSBB ("Fear the wrath of MISTER SQUID AND WATCH!") after a...

    The most beautiful sight in a video game

    No you didn't! Because DX10 Crysis at max is just about par with cold fusion on the technological advancement scale. I kid, I kid! Crysis is pretty, even if it makes my system weep.

    The most beautiful sight in a video game

    This is absolutely delicious! But you forgot that jumping off of it is even more awesome...

    The most beautiful sight in a video game

    For me... it's a bad thing to see, but the "smiley face" on Flak shells in the Unreal Tournament series is a marvel to behold. And then you die. Other highlights include: - the opening (Zanarkand) cinema of FFX - the opening cinema of Zelda: OOT (one of my first gaming moments: the N64 was...

    What is your favorite 2d game(s)?

    I would say my favourites include: Sonic 3/Sonic and Knuckles (When you stick them together as one cartridge! So awesome!) Mega Man X Ikaruga (it counts, right? There's only 2 movement planes...) Chrono Trigger Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (I'm assuming that this also counts?)

    Warcraft and Diablo: Dead?

    I once heard someone say... I can't remember who, I think it was one of the Blizzard staff, something to this effect. "...The focus is obviously on the story... I mean, we can't just say "Oh, here's a fourth Brother that... we forgot to tell you about." So IMHO the lookout for Diablo 3 is...

    The Good Ol' Days

    I miss the days before the Rock thought he was an actor.

    The Good Ol' Days

    Hear hear! The Gino Odjick/Captain Kirk days! None of this... grinding, defensive, boring stuff that we used to make fun of teams like New Jersey for playing. I miss the old days, before whiny pubescents had the reins of the pop-culture zeitgeist, when Yoshi's Story could be played without...

    Who here has played Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast? (The best Star Wars game ever)

    This thread is blasphemy! Jedi Outcast is pretty good despite brainless AI and some bugs, and yes multiplayer sabering is quite a joy. But. Best SW license game? People. People. Let's not forget... X-wing Vs. TIE Fighter. The one true king. Heh...

    So do you have your kids names planned out?

    Having kids is absolutely nowhere on my radar (I'm 20! Come on! If I were an American citizen, I wouldn't be legally allowed to drink, nevermind raise a child), but for some reason I figure that if I ever had a son I would want to name him Julian. It just struck me one day how good that name...

    Zero Punctuation Tees

    Just a yellow shirt with a picture of controller-holding, hatted Yahtzee, under which is printed "CHARISMATIC STALLION" in big letters, would probably do it for me. Or a shirt with "mumorpuger" and nothing else, just to confuse people... heh. Also, perhaps a design in milk-carton "MISSING:"...

    What kind of NPC would you be?

    "Your princess is in another castle!" Or... one of the NPCs from Psychonauts. Any of them. They're all so freakin' awesome!
