    your favorite game, in ten words or less.

    Ocarina Of Time The water temple is easy. Hold on, I'm missing keys... Resident Evil 4 Holy shit these zombies look like my grandparents. Run, Leon, Run! No More Heroes Exactly how I think Japan views American culture. & vice versa... God Of War Two of my favorite things: greek...

    the "impossibilities" of science.

    Divide by Zero. None of this limit B.S., or some silly frenchman's rule, I'm talking straight up 1/0. Note: While not specifically science, math is the language scientists use to describe their surroundings, so it counts in my mind.

    Poll: How did you find out about the escapist website?

    I was originally led here by Kotaku and their love of ZP. Little did I know I would find a great site harboring some great talent and writing, and without the need to bate fanboys *cough*somethingaweful*cough*.

    Cliches in Video Games...

    Pretty much just read this wiki: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VideogameTropes That and the grand list of console RPG cliches, which is an easy search away on the site, sums up the matter pretty nicely in my opinion.

    What's the world's "strangest" game?

    I want to say the Mother Series, aka Earthbound, and anything that Suda 51 has crapped out of his mind. I only played about 3 hours of Earthbound and thought that it was the strangest thing this side of an LSD fueled mushroom trip.

    movie theater people

    Back when I lived in colorado I used to sneak in food/drinks into the movies via my ski jacket, but now since I moved back to florida a ski jacket is a little odd, especially during June.

    Games, three words.

    Here's a few for some of my favorite games, and sometimes I'll mock an entire series of games but not exactly say so: Diablo Click Clickity Click. Super Smash Brothers Fuck you, Pikachu. Zelda Just die already. Seriously? Eight Dungeons? Stupid fucking hat. What?! Eleven...

    Favorite Zelda Game?

    Link's Awakening. Maybe one of my most favorite games, period. They're all good but that one sticks out in particular since it was the first one I played.

    Banjo Three...ie?

    The Skynet that is Microsoft has official tracked down one of my favorite childhood memories in an effort to kill me. I absolutely loved BK 1 & 2, and the first thought when I saw this was "Oh god please don't fuck this up like that remake of Conker's Bad Fur Day" Tangent: the beach assault...

    Movie based games that are good

    They're not really based on movies, but movie IP's so they technically count: I liked the SpiderMan game, Indiana Jones game, and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire for the N64. And don't forget the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beat 'em ups. They might have been mediocre games in hindsight, but...

    What difficulty level do you start off with?

    I'm good at predicting humans, not the AI, so I go with medium/normal unless I start berzerking without any thought as to death. I usually steer away from hard/nightmare etc difficulty because it's not a challenge in a "catch a bus in the rain" kind of way, but more in the way that the computer...

    Your favorite units of measurement

    a quick trip back to memory lane tells me a mole is about 6.023 * 10^23 of anything. but then again, I hated chem so another quick trip to wikipedia says a mole is 6.02214×10^23 of anything, be it atoms, giraffes, molecules, hookers, etc. And on the subject of metric/imperial it's just old...

    Your favorite units of measurement

    You might say to yourself once reading the title of this thread "But luis, what the hell is the point of this?" Well, as an engineering major I run across units of measurement that sound so ludicrous and made up that it's a feat of wonder that the scientific community has adopted them in the...

    One for Americans.....

    I think Americans drink entirely too much soda as is, seeing as how ham-beasts roam these lands in their power scooters searching for their toes they haven't seen since the Reagan administration. WHoo, got that out of my system; Soda is nice every once in a while, and I usually only drink...
