    The worst video game ending ever

    Here's an old school one - the original Wizardry. After hours and hours of painstaking dungeon-crawling and mapping every square tile of the lethal and confusing maze, you defeat the bad guy. Whoopee. You then get a message from the King thanking you for your service - and in gratitude, he...

    Finn Jones cast as Iron Fist, people inexplicably take offence to his race

    Guy going to a far-off place and learning their stuff for a brief period and outdoing them at it - just to play a goofy devil's advocate, that isn't horrifically implausible - an American named BJ Penn started training Brazilian jiujitsu at age 19, moved to Brazil a few years later to train with...

    What Single Scene Killed an Otherwise Great Movie?

    Jurassic Park: The Lost World. Raptors are set up in the first movie as landbound killing machines equal to great white sharks with intelligence, and the first half of the second movie follows that theme.... ....and then a junior high kid uses gymnastics to land a face kick and KTFO a...

    Where you want the next fallout setting?

    Florida would be great, but as several have mentioned, Disney lawyers would lay siege to anyone even hinting at their property :-P As a New Orleans native, I can see some nice aspects to that - you've got your generic city stuff like any FO game, maybe have the Superdome as a major...

    Games with black protagonists?

    The Suffering, both 1 and 2. Torque never actually speaks in the game, but is clearly black. Game is an interesting hodge-podge - some really neat and fascinating elements combined with some abject failures of gameplay - to blend the plusses and minuses and call it "average" might be doing...

    Poll: Would you change your gender?

    My wife's not a lesbian, so..... no :-P

    Martial Arts That Aren't Useless

    If you want to get fit and better at defending yourself, gain confidence, project an aura of "I am not to be messed with," etc., then forget all the MA stuff and take up powerlifting. I say this as a 31 year veteran of more MA training than you can shake a stick at. ;-) If you must learn...

    Do you prefer to build characters similar to yourself, or completely different ?

    Used to play as myself....until I had kids. Now (and esp. with RPG games), I play as my kids. I try to capture their personalities, and for sure I try to make them look like my kids - at least, guessing how they'll look when they're older. I use their names, of course. My older daughter...

    Check Your Privilege!

    This is why this is an utterly bogus quiz. I'm deaf (and I wasn't born that way), and my deafness sure as heck affects me on a daily basis a lot more than racism or sexism or whatever affects my friends who fit in the quiz's non-privileged categories.

    Specific Part of a Game You Play Over and Over Again.

    The second part of Tairon in Ninja Gaiden Black, about chapter 4 or 5 or so - the first appearance of the Black Spider clan ninjas. Glorious ninja vs. ninja combat :-) I replay that level about 2x a year and have done so every year since first buying NG on the regular XBox....

    Don't hit a girl?

    Have been there. Ex-wife took a poke at me twice. Both times, it was after I turned my back and she punched me in the back of the head. First time I laughed, because she immediately started shaking her hand in pain. Second time, a few months later, same exact scenario - having an...

    Games you love but yet suck at.

    Any fighting games. Right now playing DOA 5 Ultimate, and have mastered the skills of (A) button mashing the "rookie" AI to death and (B) winding up on the receiving end of flawless victories whenever I go online. Won't stop playing, though :-P

    What is your gamer stereotype breaking hobby?

    ^^^ Just goes to show that even highly intelligent people can be just as big of judgmental ****heads as anyone... (edit) Read the rest of the thread, thought of one that's pretty non-stereotypical - and this is one that I'd bet will garner me some bad feelings from some folks as a...
