    What gameplay feature can ruin a game within 1 hr?

    I hate games where you have low inventory and limited saves or save points. I've tried to play Ys on ps2. It had something like only 5 items and 3 saves? For a jrpg you would have to grind and grind to level up. I think I put it away after 10 minutes once the intro finished. Granted it was a...

    Games that made you cry

    Embarrassing to say but Nippon Ichi's - Puppet Princess of Marl Kingdom (Rhapsody.) First you learn the secret about Cornet's puppet companion Kururu and then the ending. Better stop. Starting to cry just writing the spoilers.

    Wtf happened to g4 over the years

    Yeah, I liked g4 and tech tv when they were separate channels. X-play never seemed the same after they left San Francisco. Favorite g4/tech tv shows: x-play, portal, cheat! (not cheaters), judgement day, pulse, anime unleashed, Leo LaPorte's shows, I even miss cinematech. Now it's...

    Poll: Subs or dubs?

    Subs I want to hear the original voice actors the way the director intended. That said I've gotten used to the american cast for cowboy bebop and inu yasha. But I've seen really bad voice acting in the early 90's (I'm talking about you dominion tank police!) and preferred subs ever...

    What do you think is there worst way to die?

    I can think or two horrible ways: humiliation - example bull rips your clothes off in matador ring then gores you to death. pain - accidentally swim into irukandji jelly fish. Morphine makes the pain barely tolerable and the pain lasts for days or weeks if you live.

    Old School Anime Series

    Ouch! I never thought I'd get the age where Trigun and Cowboy Bebop are classics. Everyone put out very good lists. Bubblegum Crisis and Gunbuster are absolute favorites. Escaflowne, Evangelion, Slayers and Gundum Wing are all solid. Oh My Goddess and Kimagure Orange Road if you...

    What game did you have fun with, but never finished it.

    All the gta's except san andreas I finished. Somehow got stuck on missions I couldn't complete. After picking up the girl friend in gta 4 and having her say, 'you wearing the same clothes again'? Made me want to smash the disk. I started playing sr2 instead with a nude character and never looked...

    Trying to get into Doctor Who, failing...

    I completely understand. I used to watch the old doctor who series and thought the new doctor looked too much like that transporter guy. Each time I try to watch the new doctor who I get that agatha christie wasp episode. The newest doctor seems too dorky to even watch. I was never a...

    What If Someone Remade Star Wars?

    No. Otherwise they'll just reboot it every 5-10 years like batman and superman movies. Next thing you know he'll try to combine the et, star wars and indiana jones universes together.

    Little things about Western culture that annoy you.

    I'm reminded of a Tom Baker Dr Who episode where the doctor says he likes individual humans, just not when they're in big groups. I think the same goes for both western and eastern cultures. I agree that japanese are addicted to cute and it completely overpowered the koreans and chinese...

    So how bad are Mass Effect 1's driving segments?

    100% agree. I'd take Mako planet exploring over that planet scanning crap any day. As others said it's not a game killer just don't go for the finding every heavy metal and gasses to get a mere entry in the journal. I played it on 360 and it took me awhile to figure out which buttons did...

    Fallout Make a Trait or Perk

    Perk: Flip Flopper 3 levels - A perk that sounded really cool was completely worthless. You get to undo that perk (plus any bonuses it gave you) and chose a different perk.

    Fallout Make a Trait or Perk

    How about "Beam Me Up"? Fast Travel instantly to places discovered even if enemies are in the area and if you 'overweight'.

    I think way too much about things

    Do a torrent search on PARALIMINALS. It's sad they make them so expensive. I try not to over think things but the tracks anxiety free have helped me immensely. There's literally a track for practically any situation.
