    I was born left-handed, but am now effectively ambidextrous with all things except drawing and writing. Training ftw.

    Valve really needs to change this (not about L4D)

    I was really disappointed by this when my net was down for a week. I ended up playing Outlive instead (here's a 'review' just because I mentioned it: http://xhakhal.blogspot.com/2009/04/outlive-genetics-vs-robotics.html ) and boy was this a miserable time... I understand they do this for a...

    Your gaming quirks

    If the characters talk (as in, voice actors) my immersion is BROKEN. Text, however, is fine. I don't know why this is. Also, instead of snoozing in the morning (and oversleeping) I play a few rounds of Tetris on my DS. It makes me wake up in time. I also compulsively level up characters in...

    Poll: Best book you were forced to read

    "Doctor Glas" by Hjalmar Söderberg or "Kallocain" by Karin Boye. Best book I was forced to read in English class, though, was probably Bridget Jones' Diary. Seriously. At least it was up-front about its stupidity and boredom and complete lack of point, which is more than you can say about...

    Do american accents sound weird to non americans?

    If all the English you grow up with is American, it will sound more 'normal' than any other variant of English. If the English you grow up with is British, it will sound more 'normal' et cetera. I am a non-native speaker who grew up with both American and English (as in England) influences...

    Poll: are games becomeing to realistic

    If realism can be used to gain moar funs, then I'm all for it. If my fun is compromise because it's unrealistic... screw realism. Or, in other words:

    Poll: Asperger Syndrome [please vote, even if you don't know what it is]

    My sister, cousin, uncle, brother, father and some assorted other relatives have either been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome or ADHD (and some both). I myself am free of them, though, but I live with them every day. Them, and bipolar disorder, that two of the people in my family are...

    Blizzard Cracks Down With Battle.net Ban

    Diablo II is the -newest- game I have installed on my old computer, however I don't play it online. StarCraft is still good after a decade, and when a game has proven it can stand the test of time in this age of mass releasing of new game after new game, well... why not play it?

    If There Was A Fim Made About Your Life, Who Would Play YOU?

    Great Games that have gone Unnoticed

    The Golden Sun games were good too. I think they were the only games I played for the GBA, though. I skipped from GBC to NDS... but they had many good things in common with the SNES RPGs of the good ol' days.

    Great Games that have gone Unnoticed

    Mystic Quest, for the SNES. I think it was a Final Fantasy game, though, but let's not hold that against it. It was one of my favourite games anyway. Not many today have heard of Excitebike, for the NES, or Swords and Serpents, also for the NES. And, oh, the NES Batman game. ... if I seem...
