    if you could erase ONE game from your memory to play it for the first time again...

    My first thought, like several others, was Bioshock. It's probably the most atmospheric game I've ever played, and going into it without knowing what to expect was amazing. Other than Bioshock, Metal Gear Solid 3 would be good, just for the fight with The Boss alone. Metroid Prime is one of my...

    Online Jobs

    I'm in college right now, living with my parents. For medical reasons, I am unable to drive by myself, so that if I black out and start twitching, someone can make sure I don't kill anyone. This makes it difficult for me to find a job, as the hours I can work are dictated by other people's...

    Bad movies you love

    Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior- the characters are ridiculous, and the action scenes look very cheap, but I'm a big fan of post-apocalyptic settings, however low-budget they may be Waterworld- or, however over-budget they may be. Admittedly, I saw this one as a kid, so a good part of it is just...

    Any Videogame character

    The main choice for me is whether to go futuristic or medieval. If future, Axton from Borderlands 2. Nothing to do but run around shooting things with lightning and screaming one-liners, then go back to town and get drunk with Mordecai. Admittedly, it's a pretty low-tech future, but it still...

    What's the game with the most potential for a good movie?

    My first thought is Borderlands. I think it could work, since the games don't take themselves too seriously. Think Mad Max 2 meets The Expendables, like the movie itself is saying to you, "we know that shotguns don't shoot rockets in real life, but just play along, it'll be cool." Also, I...

    Why I fight for Caesar's Legion in Fallout

    Just imagine if every great discovery or innovation between the fall of Rome and today just vanished. That is essentially what Caesar wants. Ignoring the slavery, or slaughter of tribes, or any of their other crimes, their main goal is to send all the land they control back to a state of living...

    Poll: Do you use preorder weapon packs?

    Only if it's something completely different from what you could normally get. For example, in Fallout: New Vegas, the preorder gear was just normal weapons and armor with different stats. I sold it immediately and used the money for ammo, which was probably more use to me. Off the top of my...

    What is your 'deepest' gaming moment?

    The two games that immediately come to mind are Fallout 3 and No More Heroes, but for different reasons than I've seen here. Every once in a while in Fallout 3, I would be crossing the wasteland, usually in the western side of the map, and I would notice that I hadn't seen any enemies for a...

    Why I fight for Caesar's Legion in Fallout

    Personally, I sided with House. My reasons for this are simple. To borrow the "levels" metaphor, if Legion is at level 1, and NCR is trying for level 5, Mr. House claims that with control of New Vegas, he could reach 6 and beyond. Based on what I saw in his story, I believe him. He seems more...

    Borderlands 2 comes out in one month. Who's buying it?

    I have it preordered, but I don't have anyone to play it with. Everyone that I know who is getting it has an xbox, and I have a PS3. Right now, I'm most likely going to be playing solo. Anyone with a PS3 looking for a group?

    Poll: Would you become ageless?

    There are only two things I want in this life before I die. I want to have a robot arm, and I want to be able to mke a living as a space pirate. Right now, neither of those is possible, at least not at sci-fi levels. Because of this, I would like to live longer, until I'm piloting my space ship...

    What's the best school related book you have read

    While it seems that everyone else has already said it, I have to go with 1984. I read that and Brave New World in the same class, and it was interesting discussing how different the two views are. Besides those, I would add The Odyssey and For Whom the Bell Tolls. I read Lord of the Flies in...

    Poll: Which would you rather: Ride a dragon, or transform into a dragon

    I would much rather ride one than be one. Riding a dragon seems more dignified than transforming. Plus, I could paint its scales to look like a hot rod, with flames going down the sides, and my name written on its wings so all the ground people know how awesome I am. My dragon would be a chick...

    You are BOOLETPROOF

    I would become a boxer, taking the Homer Simpson route. Once I had an obscenely large amount of money, I would buy a small army and take over Cuba. After building a large, intimidating, not-compensating-for-anything tower, I would reveal my powers to the world and work my way into full-scale...
