    Oh yeah? Well my home town has ...

    According to Wikipedia, nothing. I don't even know what it was named for, but apparently absolutely nothing of any importance has ever happened there.

    Since when was this total shit?!?!?!

    Pick any 3D console shooter from before dual-analog controllers. There you go. As awesome as Goldeneye was back in the day, it's unplayable shit now. Same with Perfect Dark and Jet Force Gemini. Thankfully there are others, like Mario and Mischief Makers, that have aged very well, though.

    Poll: BioShock 2

    I chose the "lifeless cash-in" option, but only because there wasn't anything more scathing. Definitely one of the worst sequels ever.

    Songs that you love from a genre you (normally hate/dislike)

    I've always been one to gripe and complain when my grandparents put on the oldies radio station, but I loved the soundtrack of Fallout 3, and had a foot-in-mouth moment when my grandpa walked in while I was playing it and started singing along to "Way Back Home."

    Poll: Inception Ending- Obviously Spoilers

    I stood up at the end and yelled "************!" so I'm going with option 4. It's the best movie I've seen in a while, but the ending takes that whole "FUCK YOU, AUDIENCE!" thing most popularly introduced with The Lady or the Tiger to an absolutely absurd level. The similarity of the house to...

    Poll: When should the Call of Duty series end?

    I chose now, but it should have ended in 2007.

    Poll: Whats better; Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter?

    Thankfully you specified novels. I'm sorry to the Potter fans, but honestly I think it's an insult to Tolkien to compare him to Rowling. The man was a literary genius. Rowling's work is nice, but this is like comparing Rent to Hamlet. For the movies I do prefer Potter, though. Also in...

    Achievements you are proud to have

    Play on LittleBigPlanet is the first one that comes to mind. Beating every level without dying (especially a later one with a big, spinny, partially-electrified wheel of death that I can't remember the name of) was a *****. I'd probably have to go with the 3D Dot Game Heroes platinum, but...

    Poll: this is epic or an epic fail

    I made it 8 seconds in before deeming it an epic failure. Generic rap (intro) about a generic FPS opening with a lens-flared guy getting out of bed fully dressed does not make for win.

    Can we call games art when we're still obsessed with popularity/sales/market shares/attach rates?

    Aren't movies and music considered art, when that's pretty much the point of them as well? And what about Jackson Pollock? This [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4a/No._5,_1948.jpg] was sold for an inflation-adjusted $140 million. So yeah, your point is irrelevant.

    Things that you probably shouldn't laugh at.

    Any time I hear that someone died I have the unrestrainable urge to ask if they dropped any good loot (which mortified my parents when Pappy passed on), because of that old picture of the WoW forum post [http://forums.uniquehardware.ca/uploads/monthly_07_2008/post-1-1215196654.png], because...

    Terrible or fine?

    Needs moar background info. She could just be a shitty parent dragging her kid around (lulz wordplay) because she doesn't want to pay for a babysitter or whatever and sees the kid as a burden. She could also have the misfortune of having a shitty kid who doesn't know how to behave (which is...

    An interesting experiment in game theory.

    I've been trying to get my girlfriend into gaming, to somewhat-similar results at first. She's an intelligent girl (we both graduated magna cum laude from one of the best high schools in the state), but is incredibly sheltered. She'd never played a video game before we started dating in our...
