    The God of War Trilogy: like it or hate it?

    I'm going to get flamed for this but the series did not end on a high note for me. Yes, when it was first conceived it was quite revolutionary, and made action gaming fun again. And the lastest version is quite beautiful. Actually, most beautiful game on any system to date. But the gameplay...

    What are you currently playing?

    Just got Crackdown 2... Can't wait to play with my buds! Who knew collecting 500 agility orbs could be so fun?

    The iPhone 4 Thread: HTCers gonna hate edition(Zet title invasion)

    I LOVE the iPhone. But I hate AT&T. And that's the reason why I switched to the HTC Incredible, because it was on a more stable network. I actually created a checklist comparing the two phones, and debated long and hard about switching. Ultimately, it came down to "making phone calls." I can't...

    DiCaprio or DaVinci

    Yeah, but Da Vinci's work goes far beyond his art. He was a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer. A REAL Renaissance man. That's why he was famous. You just don't have people like that in the...

    The Simpsons VS Futurama.

    Futurama steals the cake for me. Perhaps it's the setting, but I feel like the series really has some of the most memorable comedic scenes and parodies I seen on TV. By setting the show in the future, they can play with so many subject matters without the constraints of the rules that define the...

    Favorite Star Trek TV Series?

    There can be only one answer: TNG. You have to at least mention the original series out of respect, but TNG had the best storyline, characters, and most important of all, it showed that Star Trek wasn't some sci fi hokeyness, like the original.

    what's your favorite actress?

    I have to go old school on this one. Julie Andrews. From Mary Poppins and Sound of Music. Since then, I just don't feel like many actresses hold their weight.

    What's your favorite TV Show?

    These days, 30 Rock rocks. The new Futurama. And thanks to my wife, who makes me watch Glee, that show has grown on me as well. Though the show could do with a lot less singing. And yes... I realize that singing is their thang!

    Paul really is dead.

    Umm... I don't think Paul is dead. I ran into him at a diner once in NYC after 2005 and he seems to be just fine.

    Voice vs Text in Games

    Voice acting is very difficult to get right. It can make the game worse if the dialogue isn't great or the actors you use. Try a two step process. Start off with text dialogue. And constantly refine it. Get a feel for what people like once you launch the game. Once you got it down to where...

    5th Gen The hero becomes a villain

    I do think the game series needs a dramatic reboot in terms of story development. Every storyline unveils itself in the same way for the series. I reached a point where I'm just clicking through the conversation as fast as possible because it feels like a cut/paste job from the previous game...

    5th Gen New toys reveal Pokemon?

    The green dude. Not feeling him. Lacks, how should I put it, personality.

    The New Users' Hangout

    Been lurking for a while, but decided to finally join in the fray! Mostly because I'm finding time these days after finishing up an indie game I been working on for a while. Which just happens to be inspired by Pokemon! Anyways, dying to get my hands on the new B+W game, and after digging...
