Bad analogy. Even though Left4Dead does get old and repetitive because there's too much repetition. The older Zelda games did it a little differently - you still had dungeons where you could only progress to a several amount of rooms but you needed some special key or whatever to continue. It...

Heh, as a kid my father always went "and Tabasco is VERY VERY hot! Just two drops in the bolognese sauce will make it spicy!". So when I grew up, I never ate much hot food until I was a student and got to make my own dinner. I started making my food more and more spicy. Now I empty at least 3...

Vangelis has made many great theme songs - Conquest of Paradise, Blade Runner, etc. And let's not forget Flash! Ahah! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNf9rEPoc8Q:4r1j79ah][/youtube:4r1j79ah] And this, a brilliant scene from Blade Runner...

I seem to have grown tired of Zelda over the past half a decade it seems. I think my Nintendo DS is to blame. On it I played A Link To The Past, Minish Cap & Phantom Hourglass and then there's the two N64 versions (Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask) which I bought on my Wii. Problem with all of...

I guess you need to enjoy both the combat system and the complex economical world. Take WoW: the economy is quite small and primitive compared to that of EVE. For example, all goods are shared throughout the game. In EVE, clever selling & buying in different systems can make you a small fortune...

Well except for UO, I'd love an EVE group. But most other MMOs just get dull to me in a short while. EVE lasts a lot longer due to it not being a grind fest. The most fun part of an MMO for me is crafting, bartering, auctioning and generally being smarter economically. That's why UO appeals to...

Seriously? Don't tell me you're part of the uninformed crew who would recommend Windows XP 64 despite it having tons of driver issues. Half our work software won't even receive support when running on that OS and most companies have stopped supported it on the whole so you won't even get updated...

This kind of crap occurs everywhere. People who do anything long enough to know it inside out tend to always look down on others who try to reach the same goal but aren't there yet. It's sad and pathetic because those same people were once like that as well. But it's also in branches like art -...

Depending on what you look for in MMOs, it can be either a disappointment or the best MMO you'll have ever played. It's not quest oriented, for example. Instead, it's more ideal for people who enjoy to roleplay. You got tons and tons of dungeons and several huge worlds to explore. You can do a...

I'm not going to touch any Asian MMO unless pigs start to fly. I've already tried their most popular ones and they've all been utter crap, from the first to the last. Quests are just excuses to grind, crafting is horrible without exception and they all come down to furious item hunting with lots...

When a game has thousands of quests, then it's obvious that the most bugs will be found within those quests. The same goes for single player RPGs like Oblivion and Fallout 3. Most MMOs like WoW keep their quests rather simple (kill X bears, get head of X, go to location X and click on Y) but in...

Haha - see, creative ;). A thief and jerk called Hax was once annoying me a great deal (he kept trying to sneak into my house). To get him back, I tamed loads of animals (yes, you can tame *any* animal in the game if you have the skill), so after a few hours, there were hundreds of cows, deers...

How about a free yet very deep and well respected MMO? :p Ultima Online gets my vote ;). You can play on any of hundreds of free servers and can build huge player/guild towns, design your own houses, etc. Fun part is you can be a thief (a REAL thief, not the pathetic excuse of a rogue in most...

What made you hate it? I quite liked the idea although there were plenty of flaws in the design. But I liked the dynamic world where cities could get taken over by the enemy, requiring you to take them back. It ran very smooth on my PC too. Biggest problem was that a lot of the quests were...

Ah well, I probably wouldn't have had much time to play anyway. Last MMO I played in Beta was Tabula Rasa.

I'm surprised File Planet are still alive - when they were one of the first hosting companies, I had to visit them a lot but in the last 5 years or so, I have only visited them maybe a dozen times or so. Most files have better mirrors anyway. Anyway, it said "all keys done" so I take it I won't...

I'm not surprised by this. It wasn't that long ago in Europe (only 50 years in fact), when priests would look down on childless families and social pressure was on the wife to have children to the point where the priest would actually come around the house to ask the wife what the problem was...

This is my own WoW history: - Three years ago I gave it a go. It sucked compared to Ultima Online, my favorite MMO at the time (and still is). I played for a month (my free month) and then left. - Two years ago, I gave it another go. After all, that many million people can't be wrong, can...

Brilliant clip. Too bad I can't show anyone here at work since they're too dull to ever care or have cared for GI Joe.

In before "it's 'safe', not 'save'" (or was that on purpose?)
