Main one I think of is Samael, from Silent Hill. ... Oh, fine, so my name is Samuel. Close enough! I mean, come on, he's one friggin' awesome character/demon/angel (depending on your upbringing, viewpoint, and the material you read), not to mention that one of the best beers I've ever...

Casual Games [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=282]. Screw you, guitar hero, rock band, wii sports, world of warcraft, and pretty much every other game made in the last ten years (with a few notable exceptions, such as Demon's Souls). And screw you, wii. Finding a good, challenging...

I'm a bit (very) biased, in that I consider giving money to Microsoft a horrible sin. Sony has plenty of faults, but they don't approach the evil of Microsoft. So take my opinion with several grains of salt. I've got two gaming systems: a high end PC (running funtoo linux, using Wine to run...

HAHAHA- oh. Sorry, the title of the thread struck me as a joke. o.o On a serious note: Meh. I can't stand people who lie. My friends, therefor, tend to be very close to me, because they are a little more confident about my trustworthiness. Which, in my mind, is more important than sex...

Vagrant Story, no contest. My favorite game, and my chest seems to swell every time I see the intro ... or any of the various story elements in the game, for that matter. Part 1 (the title screen intro): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDThRX_SKs8 Part 2 (the credits when you start a new...

Hum. Probably ... well, I think having a $600 26" widescreen LCD monitor with a H-IPS panel counts, doesn't it? How about also having an also-very-expensive 24" widescreen CRT monitor with a trinitron tube (and using them in a dual setup)? How about my $300 audio system? My $130 Razer Mamba...

Yeah, you kinda are (not entirely, but kinda). I hate it because it it's not a good shooter. It's not particularly bad, but it's not good, either. It's simply mediocre. Normally, what do you do with a mediocre game? You ignore it. You admit that it's okay, but you don't buy it, so you...

People get married because of the wrong reasons. *Disclaimer: I tend to read a lot of C.S. Lewis and junk. His views have kind of guided mine. Basically, these days, if there's a fuzzy feeling between two people, it's considered "love". Personally, I'm betting that, in 90% of cases, the...

I've never been very fond of it. *Disclaimer: I am a linux gamer, and, therefor, despise everything that Microsoft stands for, from Palladium to the Windows interface. The popularity of Microsoft's programs shall never cease to leave me dumbfounded. As such, I was predisposed to dislike...

Making things easy (come on, at least give us -some- challenge) Morality systems (*kills*) Flat enemies (the original Metal Gear Solid had very interesting, complex enemies, ones who managed to make you feel kind of bad for killing them - this is what made the game so very awesome, for me)...

Well, I wouldn't want to kill the guy. There's no point. I mean, I'm going to die eventually - when it happens is really not that important to me. To be honest, I'm kinda looking forward to death. Not much in this world I'm gonna miss. That said, I am very curious as to what human tastes...

The gaming rights kind of go back and forth between consoles and computers, and computer gaming is having a larger slump than normal, right now. Reasons? Remember around the time that the Wii, 360, and PS3 came out? What was the other big announcement? Yeah, that's right: Windows VISTA...

I disagree - we don't need to move any farther forward. The morons at Bethesda have ruined RPGs almost entirely, with only a couple of companies sticking to what made them good. Seriously, the problem with RPGs isn't that they haven't changed enough, it's that the wrong parts have changed...

I would disagree with some parts of the review. For instance, I disagree on the point that inFAMOUS is a good game. Mostly, what gets to me is how shallow the game is. There's only one way to do anything - you have no stealth or close combat options, so it's almost as if you're playing a...

Practical use? I couldn't see any, either. Far as I could tell, the situation was that she had money to spend and wanted a new computer. Keep in mind, I'm a big AMD fan (I just can't bring myself to buy intel CPUs), but I -did- mention to her that an intel processor would be better because...
