It is strangely the opposite for me.

He's a funny guy alright.

Nice guidelines. I think everyone should do their best to follow them.

Well, either way, I think people just love to find things to bitch about in general.

The new Guild Wars that is coming out is looking to become one of the first good MMO's since it has no subscription fee. You buy the game and that's it. And that's how I want it to be like. I don't wanna pay extra to play a game I have already paid for.

It's more of a first person RPG I think. Speaking of FPS/RPG hybrids, has anyone played the Heretic/HeXen series by Raven Software? Superb games imo.

I also think it's important to list Atari as an important developer as they made Pong. Need I say more?

Wouldn't it be sexist to say it's wrong to slap a girl but not a dude to get them to calm down?

Yeah, same here. It sounds so much less stigmatizing... XD

I also enjoyed the Broken Steel addon for Fallout 3 as I sometimes complete the main quest first before exploring the rest of the game, and I enjoyed the 50's scifi atmosphere of the Mothership Zeta quest.

I was referring to Doctor Proton from Duke Nukem 1 who created an army of robots to take over the world and enslave human kind. The game is basically about Duke Nukem kicking the ass of both Proton and his army of robots. A bit obscure reference I suppose since the game is not as famous as his future games.

Looks intriguing. I'm interested!

My best friend thinks that Bioshock 2 is a great game.

Eating pizza and planning on getting some rest.

Wasn't that Captain Proton? Nope. Doctor Proton.

Downloadable content has sort of become the new fad of game expansion. Do you feel this adds anything to the overall game experience or do you feel it is just a marketing ploy for publishers to earn more money on releasing unfinished games?

That's a fact.

I personally have seen the gameplay trailer and read a lot about the game. I am impressed by the features they are implementing. It's just the setting that doesn't fit my taste. I'm sure you understand.

Incentive actually did this after releasing the game. One of their prizes was 500£ for the one who could get the highest score on their first game. It was part of their business plan and also the reason for their name. They wanted to give gamers an "added Incentive" for buying their products. Their games were actually pretty good for the time, boasting very advanced 3d graphics that ran surprisingly smoothly on low end systems such as the Dragon 32 and the ZX Spectrum.

I am impressed by all the features they have planned for it though, and the visuals are gorgeous. But I'm just not a fan of the cookie cutter fantasy style. As BTG put it, it has been done to death.

Speaking of developers, I just read about an 80's developer called Incentive Software based in UK which actually handed out prizes to people who could get the best high scores on their games. That's pretty cool in my book.

Some female specimens in Hollywood these days verge on being silicone based... Same for most independent 18+ films... Some even pride themselves on it. Think there's a relation between the two? Possibly.
