It's a formidable achievement and it fills me with pride for humanity's potential and curiosity. It just shows how epic the struggle to pull something like this off is and how much passion and ingenuity the people involved must have. Brilliant! I don't think we should allow anything to mar this...

And by "The Good Ones" I mean HoMM 2 and 6. HoMM 3 is not only good. It went through good, great, unmatched, and came out the other side, to a sort of gaming Valhalla.

I just made this list for my site the other night. Here you go: http://zarecords.com/2014/01/13/top-13-for-2013/ It includes stuff like Palms, Midday Veil, Fiordmoss, Windhand, Cult of Luna, Suuns and 7 others. I will also strongly recommend Steven Wilson's new album - "The Raven that...

You sir are awesome. I saw this movie on VHS almost twenty years ago. I could've never found it on my own. Thank you!

Die Hard is just much more fun. I always felt that The Godfather is waaaaay too long and it never managed to engage me on an emotional level. Not that I weep for McLane, but at least he makes me root for him and laugh out loud. :)

There is at least one hands-down great song on the album, and that is Damaged Soul, even though it sounds a bit more like Hendrix than Sabbath. :) The lyrics are horrible, but the riff is tremendous. Check it out, if you will. :)

I'm going to vote for Granny Weatherwax, because she is simply badass. She makes such a memorable team with the rest of the Wyrd Sisters, and has such strength of character. And her magic is tremendous! Besides, "I can't be having with any of that" is my favorite Discworld catchphrase.

I tend to compartmentalize groups of friends, and in most of them I don't have a nickname, but one particular group ended up calling me Kuma-san or Master Bear. I used to be really fat, but I've gotten that under control lately, so I'm significantly less bear-like nowadays, but the nickname...

I would perform The Kirby Dance for Frozen Synapse.

I wonder what people actually really look for in a romantic relationship? Or, let me phrase this another way - what defines a romantic relationship, as opposed to friendship? For me, sex isn't really the defining factor. It's definitely the most notable difference between the relationship I have...

The concept, I like. The implementation, not so much... I wouldn't get these now. If we don't all die off, or blow ourselves up or something, by the time I'm 45, they might actually be seamless, reliable tech. It is, however, unsettling to think how much people, myself included, are willing to...

Not for me, at all, sorry. I simply don't see the point in paying for one game, every month, over and over again. The social component to MMOs is a tremendous letdown, in all the franchises I've tried, it doesn't improve my experience in the least... Captcha: "tastes good"; I beg to differ.

I loved it, I really did, but I'd have to say I agree with the people who said that it takes the first two to really appreciate. There are numerous scenes in ME3 which fall short in a fresh play-through, with a new character, because many of the old companions don't show up anymore. There's a...

I loved ME3. The endings are the point of the entire thing. The mood of the entire game is setting us up for a hard ending, an unsatisfying, dark, hurtful choice, and then people complain about there not being sunshine and butterflies and how that huge, sprawling, independent world doesn't care...

I game in binges, with very long periods of next-to-no-gaming-whatsoever. In this context, there have been games which have taken over my subconscious, yes: Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and Star Wars Jedi Academy are the two which come to mind right now, but I'm pretty sure it's happened with...
