I don't know how it is in the States, but here in NZ there are a set number of top prizes (i.e. the maximum prize advertised) for each series of scratch tickets, and one must be able to win the top prize on a scratch ticket for it to be in circulation. Once all of the top prizes have been won...

The moment in Baldur's Gate 1 when you walk in to fight Sarevok and all the nobles turn into doppelgangers. I started throwing fireballs into the room to clear it before I went in after that.

I drink tap water, as it is rain water we collect from our roof and store in a tank. I don't enjoy drinking town supply from the tap though, s it does have a slight chemical taste. I'll still drink it though, no point in paying a fortune for a bottle of the stuff.

The original Bladur's Gate is one of my favorite games of all time. So much so that I couldn't figure out Baldur's Gate 2. With the exception of Neverwinter Nights 1, no game has managed to hold my attention like Baldur's Gate. The strategy involved in combat is simple, while still allowing for...

No tears. In fact it amused me that the story is in fact a rehash of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, the seminal Greek Tragedy. Obviously no responders to this thread have a background in classical studies. Also, the story is clearly untrue, as I don't think anyone is going to be crying over a REAL...

If we are going to talk about acting in games, then a lot more is lacking in motion capture than in voice acting. As an acting student myself, I cringe whenever I watch a good vocal performance in a game spoiled by terrible accompanying visuals. I also believe that there is huge untapped...

The priming sound of an enemy sentry in TF2 right before it starts firing always makes my heart skip a beat.

Either The Purple Witch or The Purple Knife (excluding the obviously rubbish ones like The Purple Complete Works of William Shakespeare)
