    How Far Can A Franchise Push You (Before You Just Quit)?

    I wouldn't go nearly as far to say "I'll never buy one again," but Final Fantasy doesn't get a free pass anymore. I could still buy a Final Fantasy game, but I'll need to read reviews and see demos to do so. FFXIV is what put me over the edge. I know it's an MMO and isn't in the same category...

    The oldest game you still play to this day?

    Dr. Mario Smash TV, NBA Jam, and Tecmo Super Bowl on the SNES Graphics, story, game mechanics, and originality are all great, but these games prove that FUN is still the optimal word for gaming.

    The Felicia Day/Destructoid situation

    What did Sly Stallone add to boxing, or Sean Connery to spying, or Tom Cruise to flying jets for the Navy? They told the story. Maybe not the whole story, and maybe a glorified version of it, but that is there job. They, Felica Day included, are artist. Actors and actresses, writers and...

    Where is my Doraleous and Associates?

    Thanks for the trailer. I'm sure it'll be of equal quality. I'll still miss D&A though, it had so many great characters. Even the support characters and each new bad guy they introduced was great.

    Where is my Doraleous and Associates?

    I was promised more Doraleous and Associates and it has yet to be delivered. My patience wears thin. I miss Drak, and Neebs, and Sir Walken, and even Testiclees. Please bring D&A back.

    Girl Advice

    I suggest inviting her to something you're already doing, especially if it is a group thing. And if you can do it in a cool way, meaning just start talking about it and then say, "you might like it, you could come if you want," that would be a bonus. If she says no, then she hasn't said no to...

    Escape to the Movies: Cars 2

    If the jive talking cars in the second Transformers movie are racist, then every word out of Mater's mouth is racist too. Why isn't anyone talking about that?

    Why do Americans hate football(soccer) so much?

    #1 Diving - Grown men going down like they've been shot b/c a cleat grazes their shin guard. Don't pretend your sport is tough and then call out a stretcher to carry you off the field for a boo-boo. #2 Whining - Along those same lines, seems like 18 or 19 out of the 22 on the field are drama...

    E3 2010: Final Fantasy XIV Hands on

    Full Disclosure: I'm a Final Fantasy fan and really want this game to work, so I'll be defending it. They've changed it. The Alpha was as you describe above. SE got complaints that it was to slow, esp. from the Japanese players apparently. Now you start with a full stamina bar and each...

    Study: Nearly One in Ten Gamers Shows Signs of Addiction

    I thought it was funny that the picture says "Are you lying about your internet or gaming use to others," b/c I actually brag about mine. I've got a great job that lets me sleep in and stay up late playing video games, I brag about it all the time.

    Hilarious Quotes From People You Know...

    Actual quotes from my clients last week. "The were trying to tell me something but I told them I was 90% incompetent and that I didn't understand them." ...and... Me: "Would you like to be an organ donor?" Client: "I don't see how that would work. I want to be cremated and I don't think...
