Portal. Got to a particular room and was permanently stuck forever and ever. Gave up, came back 6 months later and solved it in 5 mins, making me wonder wtf was wrong with my 6 month previous self.

Dwarf Fortress Because what other game has "Catsplosion" near the top of it's "How you Lost the Game" list. And remember. Losing is Fun!

Not sure where this comes from, according to the article, the plan is to let the modding community sell premium maps they've created on their own, not Blizzard. The content isn't already on your disc (well ok it is sort of, as it's the world editor, but you didn't sink however many hours into...

You pretty much nailed it on the head in my opinion. Games, like any medium, do indeed affect people, it's a fact of life. The reason gamers react so violently as a group is because we've been burned again and again with people blowing it out of proportion. As a whole, we are tired of being...

I generally play the dwarven tank, partly due to complete lack of ingenuity and partly because the people I play with all like playing as elves for some reason. And everyone knows elves break faster than dead twigs. Most fun I had however was in a semi-futuristic forum rpg where I got to...

I like achievements that prompt me to explore a facet of the game I'd never experience on my own, mostly due to personal obliviousness. Grinding achievements I dislike a lot, I would rather be rewarded for achieving something in a unique fashion rather than because I spent 8 weeks kicking...

No! You can't have the microwave, toaster, and the glowy brick thing on all at the same time. Ahem. As they've said before, check your breaker, and if you've recently added anything, try unplugging it and see if power stays on. Then plug it back in, if it goes off again, you have your...

I'm an anti-social, quiet, logical nerd. My sister is a theatre major. She annoys the hell out of me with her dramatic antics and failure to grasp even basics concepts of logical progression. Also, she's way too loud at inappropriate moments, like.. the movies. Note: No offense to any...

I generally pick good side on my first playthrough, then evil to see what happens when I gut the innocent bystander instead of politely asking how their day is going. However my favorite moral choices are the ones without clear good/evil options. Such as: Fallout 3 Pitt I actually...

Common courtesy, there are two roll systems in WoW, Need and Greed. If a player NEEDS the item, as I'm guessing the OP and his warrior friend did, they select need. Those just wishing to sell it select Greed, if nobody needs it, everyone greeds and whoever gets lucky gets a few extra gold...

I'll admit my experience with WoW is limited, however you don't need to have played it to understand this story and it's frustrating details. My theory is all the "good" players are already high lvl, they've mastered the game, and breeze through the low lvls, bypassing the lower dungeons...

Here's another Fallout 3 one, and it also includes a Deathclaw! Was cruising around looking for the Oasis when out of the canyon I was occupying something rocketed skyward, startling the crap outta me. Luckily I'd completed Operation: Anchorage and had the chinese stealth suit fired up, so I...

Personally I have a lot of fun with FFXI, I find the social aspect of the game very appealing, as opposed to WoW where you can pretty much solo your way right up to endgame. Now, this very aspect is what turns some people off of FFXI, as you do indeed rely heavily on teamwork and strangers for...
