Am I crazy, I saw the movie and everyone I was with agreed it was a steaming pile of garbage. The dialog and relationships between the characters was forced, and plastic. Plot moved along like a new driver. Jokes were god awful. Was no suspense in the fight scenes because I didn't care for...

I would like to see them move away from that master chief time period but I have a feeling that if they did they would mess it up or fan boys would freak out.

It is an achievement in some games. Although it's not really an achievement as much as a measure of how much time you have to kill.

I just wish we got to fight in wars not involving Nazi's or Muslims. How about a future shooter where we kill space Nazi Islamic fundamentalists!

I usually just take a break from the game for at least a few minutes. Usually getting my butt kicked makes me draggy for some reason and I just need to stand up, maybe get a glass/cup of water/coffee(in some cases loads of alcohol), just move a little to get back into the gaming mood.

Correct, they were set before the war, in the 30's.

It's more connected to what I am drinking. So either what goes with coffee/tea or what goes with beer, wine.. or maybe even some whiskey.

When I was a young teen if a game was getting really frustrating I'd beat on my desk. Nothing ever was broken but thinking back I am a little embarrassed I got so worked up over stupid things. It happened more with things like dling a huge file and near the end something would mess up and it...

When steam first started it was a real pain in the ass. However it's a lot nicer now and I can't imagine playing without it anymore. I love not having to worry about where I put my CD-keys, the sales, and keeping track of my gaming buddies. Not to mention Valve has created some of my favorite...

Been reading "A Brave New World" much?

It's a little naive to blame anything on one thing. It is easy for people to go oh these violent kids also played video games. The games must be causing it. It is harder to look at the more complex issues like parents, and other relationships because they don't boil down into statistics as...

To be fair you didn't say anything about what defines a RPG. You gave examples, which really isn't going to help explain your point to him. The problem comes from the fact that the term really comes from the P&P era. As the games grow and evolve it becomes harder to define games into strict...

The only games I have been a fan of that don't seem all the popular are Victoria, and EU III. However, I can see why they aren't hugely popular. Almost no marketing and most don't like grand strategy games. Also I am a huge fan of multi player games. Favorite games of all time are...

Story might get in the way as they add more and more campaigns. It might be a little depressing that Bill, Zoey, Francis, and Louis have to fight zombies for the rest of time, occasionally in very strange, ugly, and badly designed places.
