As a Silent Hill fan, that sounds right up my alley!

My roommate and I kind of made it a habit for a while to make bizarre sandwiches to see if we could make one inedible. My favorite was bread with some nacho chips, spicy mustard, and ham. Delicious.

Okay, so by now every gamer with a PS2 and a brain has probably had time to chew on offerings like Silent Hill 2 and Shadow of the Colossus. I'm talking about games that were ponderous and made the player do more than kill hookers. But just recently I played Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason, and...

I haven't ditched 'em, but it's always annoying when I'm planning a Saturday back home and they say, "Nah, it's a raid night." Honestly, just get out and see a movie. Your clan isn't even good.

Those are some of the best uses of teaching through games I've ever heard. Great article!

Probably the worst was Fuzzy, for my cowlicked crewcut hair when I was tiny. Second worst is easily Harry Potter. Asian women all think I look like him I guess.

Exactly. I knew so many people going by Rich, Richie, Rick and Dick (and most of them had a similar last name, lucky me), so I always felt special being Richard. Now I feel even more special, considering half the people I'm around are named Matthew Ryan something.

Hah, even better than usual, although this one hurt a little since I loved the hell out of this game's whiny androgenous teenagagers. I sometimes forget that he thinks his job is to be a hate-magnet, though. I don't think there's a line he hasn't crossed, now that he threw the "secret nazi...

Final Fantasy 10 and 12 never had Japanese voices, and we never expected them to. Why would we now? Although, to be honest I'm a little disappointed by Dissidia. I would have loved to hear angry little Ed Elric as monkey-boy Zidane. Oh well, I'll just have to settle for some...

You'll probably learn to appreciate them once they're out of your life. The other day, I let myself get the crap beat out of me in street fighter to take a call from my mom, just to catch up with her. When games don't have pause buttons, life interrupts every once in a while, and that's okay...

I look back at the days when all I had to play on my genesis were platformers, brawlers and two decent RPGs, and I can't help but be amazed at how much better gaming is since the Sega Genesis days. I haven't seen any drop off since the N64 and PSX either.

I can't agree more.

It's just a gut reaction. People see something they know is wrong, and they think the person's a moron. Believe me, working for a student newspaper, I know how little credibility you have when you accidentally repeat a word or add an extra letter somewhere. People call your entire paper a...

In retrospect, I'm glad that game didn't have graphics. I'd be kind of traumatized seeing my character shit himself to death.
