    Assassin's Creed 3?

    Little necromancy here cause I don't want to go and start another thread to spout my fanboyism. Anywho, these are exactly my thoughts. When you consider that Desmond will probably be charged with searching for the Pieces of Eden before the Templars find them, that puts a whole nother twist on...

    'First 3 Twilight Films are Better than the original Star Wars Trilogy'

    No fucking shit. I haven't even read all the posts in this thread - I'm simply too shocked. My mouth dropped a little when I read the title, and I was coming in here fully prepared to flame... and I don't usually use firepower. Quite simply, no. Just no. If anybody has agreed with said...

    To All (Potential) Writers.....

    I've recently started to write a two-part Shadow of the Colossus screenplay. I've said that I hated it, but now I'm quite obsessed with it after beating the game. Just a fun project - thought it'd be cool to do a prologue-type thing from the POV of Mono when she and the Wanderer first meet, and...

    Art styles you'd like to see in a videogame

    I -really- dig Shadow of the Colossus's blurred graphics. Felt like I was waltzing through a Claude Monet painting at times. Wind Waker was also very cute. I personally would like to see a Jhonen Vasquez styled platformer. Platformer art is usually really good nowadays, what with those...

    Action/RPG: where are these games?

    Assassin's Creed 2 is what comes to my mind first while reading this thread. AC2, mixed with Fable. I think I'd have an orgasm if something like that was actually done and not directed by Peter. (I take that back. Multiple orgasms.)

    Your Gaming Obsessions

    Wait, what now? I don't get it - you love Spartans? =P I do this in FPS multiplayer too sometimes, if I'm given the option. In Halo, it's between straight melees and headshots. So much trash talking to be had!

    Your Gaming Obsessions

    Really surprised somebody hasn't done this topic recently, though you could say it's been done in a bazillion different ways. I'm not looking for favorites here, not at all. Recently I started playing Shadow of the Colossus, and while it's not one of my all time favorites, I'm starting to obsess...

    Your favorite book series

    I can't advocate just one, so here's some, least favorite to most; The Inheritance Trilogy (Eragon, Brisingr, ect) by Christopher Paolini is my guilty pleasure. Really glad he's making it into a another book! The third one, while sometimes poorly written (I think he rushed it) added a lot to...

    Poll: on the way out the door amidst a zombie apocalypse because your house is invaded what would you take

    This man obviously hasn't read the Zombie Survival Guide.

    Poll: on the way out the door amidst a zombie apocalypse because your house is invaded what would you take

    Bat. If it's good enough for Sean, it's good enough for me. Not to mention shotguns run out of ammo and make noise, and so in my expert zombie-killing opinion (I've been a zombie killer for about seven years now, two of those training in a top college up in Washington state) aren't very...

    Characters so annoying that they almost ruined the game

    'Hey!' 'Hey!' 'HEY!' 'Hey, over here!' 'Look!' 'YOU GREEN TUNICKED FUCK YOU BETTER PAY ATTENTION TO ME OR SO HELP ME...' I concur! Jansen from Lost Odyssey, and every half-naked chick that walks around like she's not half-naked, in every game, ever. I don't care if their character persona was...

    Can we get some originality? Please?

    Doth thou wish to anger!? Oh yeah. Probably. Anyway, there are plenty of games that have plot-lines which don't take place in the Final Frontier, although their swords and hair sometimes shout 'over compensation'.

    An Evil Protagonist

    He was making a reference to the story, not how successful the game will be. (I lol'd at it.) Mmm... was Kain good? Man, I can't even remember. I know he wasn't good when Raziel was around, but before that, in Blood Omen? Don't think so. Play that!

    What you loved the most in Mario Kart games.

    Double Dash is the one I'm most familiar with, and I love it. My friends and I play it religiously when we get together, and there's just SO much cursing, rage, and violence. Features I'd like to see; drift boosting, specials, and the Boo-Splatter-Thingee (I really can't place that one...

    Poll: Is Character Coustomization a Must for RPGs?

    What he said. I think Fable got it pretty great though. For all it's shortcomings, the character customization it provided was really refreshing. I'm not talking about horns or halos either, but clothing, hairstyles, and how they have benefits or consequences. However, for MMOs, yeah, character...
