    Things that instantly kill your interest in a game

    I have a couple: Optional DLC. This actually means "give us money to play the full game. lots of it. in small, unmarked bills over a long period of time." "Moral choice system." I would love to see a good moral choice system in a game. But the thing is, for it to be proper you can't tell...

    Story Writing Advice

    Don't start by writing the story in order. Write down every idea you have, make sure it's all concrete somewhere. Don't worry about organization. Also, try not to think of it in terms of scenes. Remember that you are not writing a movie, you are writing a short story/novel type thing. Anyway...

    Poll: Are the people flaming the WiiU this early hypocritical or biased?

    In my opinion it has a lot of potential. The touchscreen has the possibility to be a configurable controller for different games. Each dev gets to reconfigure the layout of a big chunk of the controller. Although there aren't solid buttons to press, I have a feeling that, like touch-screen...

    One-Fifth Of Americans Are Proud To Be Geeks

    The way I see it, Geek typically specifies an intense interest in one specific category. Geek doesn't typically stand on it's own. You can be a sports geek, and memorize the stats of every sports team. You can be an anime geek, and have managed to watch more hours of anime than you have spent...

    Games to get into gaming?

    Prince of Persia looks like it's right up your alley. A little more platformy than puzzly, but still fun. Then if you like that Assassin's Creed is very similar stylisticly. The Final Fantasy series is pretty big on story, as are many other JRPG's. However, depending on the game, the storyline...

    A DnD-based fighting game.

    D and d does not translate to a fighting game at all. The best you could do is make some sort of system that really only uses the names from d and d, and pay wizards lots of money for their logo. And in my personal experience (d and d tactics on psp, the trial of ddo when it was p2p) direct...

    Poll: First Kiss.

    Nice one. I give you all my bonus points and extra lives for that one. That even beats one whilst watching a pirated 80's movie!

    Poll: First Kiss.

    Mine was just over 7 months ago, with a girl I met on the internet, asked out, and was physically seeing for the first time. 17 then. We were watching a pirated copy of Time Bandits in her room, and right towards the end she surprised me with one. Heh, I was so surprised and dazed afterwards...

    Which alignment do you prefer to play as (when given the choice)?

    i tend towards true neutral or chaotic neutral, but i have a bit of an evil streak in me. Hey, when we invaded that pirate base we were nice! We knocked them unconscious instead of killing them! Of course, that's because we got double the bounty on their heads if we sold them as slaves. And...

    Great games that only you remember

    I played df2 a bit, never had the chance to play through all the way. But it was a lot of fun. Still remember sniping someone out with a bowcaster at a distance where they were barely a few pixels high :]

    Great games that only you remember

    Original Digimon World for PS1. That game was beast. Last year i downloaded a rom for it cuz my cd broke, its still addictive and fun as hell. Never played the sequels, but heard they killed it.
