    Games that you will never play. Ever.

    Final Fantasy VII. Way back when I first joined the Intarwebs, the fanboys of this game went on and on about it if someone even so much as hinted at the franchise. It got to the point that I was sick of the game without ever having watched even 60 seconds of it. That left me with absolutely no...

    No Right Answer: Best Video Game Format - Physical vs. Digital

    There are several things that Kyle could/should have mentioned, that are points in favor of physical game copies (or at least nullify some claimed advantages of digital ones)... - Online digital game sites will eventually close. Whether it's GOG, Steam, Groupees, or some other site that you...

    What's your avatar about

    Mine's Jon Talbain from the Darkstalkers series. I've always been a fan of werewolves, ever since I first saw "The Howling" back in the early '80s. Factor in that he's got a cool looking design, and how he uses martial arts along with his teeth and claws, and he's just a fun character to use in...

    Poll: Toronto School Bans Hard Balls - Do You Agree?

    Up next on the banning block? Playing. Someone might get hurt doing it, either mentally or physically. After that's been dealt with? Childhood in general.

    Why don't YOU have Skyrim?

    I've got no money to buy it, and my Pentium 4 3.00E GHz computer likely won't even run it on its lowest settings. So yeah, no real point in getting it.

    What do YOU think is wrong with the world?

    Simple... Too many people have forgotten how to both laugh at the world around them, and laugh at themselves.

    Why is "My Little Pony" so popular?

    Why do people like it? Watch a few episodes (like "Sonic Rainboom," "A Dog and Pony Show," or "Bridal Gossip"). You'll either understand, or not. No explanation anyone could give is going to provide you with some kind of mystical enlightenment that'll make it all clear for you. Watching it is...

    Concerning Ponies and the People Who Like Them, or, "I am Not Convinced"

    I know this thread's been dead for a while. But, back when the topic was hot, I hadn't even seen a clip of the show, let alone an episode. So, I did a little digging and found this thread to be one of the busier ones (and the one with the most recent reply). So, I'm giving it a bump, rather than...

    Poll: Do Gif Avatars Annoy You?

    Having worked with animated gifs for years now, they don't bother me at all unless they're horribly looped. Then they bother me only because I'm thinking, I really, REALLY want to fix that!

    Broken heart, any suggestions on what to do?

    White_Lama- You say "... but I want to keep her as a friend". Why? Do you like the prospect of becoming an emotional tampon for her? Someone she'll go to when things aren't going well, then leave you behind once she's done whining and crying until her next crisis comes along? She's done with...

    What was the first game you remember playing?

    For arcade games, it's Space Invaders at a Denny's. And for home games, it's Combat for the 2600 on our old black and white TV.

    What are you going to be for Halloween?

    Broke and working more than likely, so no costume or parties for me. **sniffle**

    Reccomend me a book

    Brian Lumley's "Necroscope" saga. It was originally a trilogy, but books now number well into the teens. A story about a man who's able to speak with the dead, whose life begins taking all sorts of twists when his ability catches the eye of certain organizations... as well as a dead vampire...

    Phrases you've never understood.

    You're trying to find something that someone asked you to get for them. You search for a minute where they said the object was, but you can't find it. So, you go back to that person and tell them so. They then get up, and in a frustrated manner, say, "If it was up your ass, you'd know where it...
