I still maintain a single cocked-eye on the progress of Star Wars: The Old Republic regardless of how much I say I wanted KOTOR 3 as I'm sure many will no doubt emulate. And how dare me mention an MMO first. Besides that though, the only titles of note currently stirring my interest are the upcoming sequel to FEAR and a Chronicles of Riddick game. Beyond that, I'm only slightly interested regarding the curiosity that is Street Fighter IV gracing the PC. I haven't yet seen a Japanese PC port with acceptable NA support (the latest Konami's Steam port of SH5; miserable) so I won't hold my breath.

I actually played this just recently in an as yet incomplete attempt to beat the entire series. Myst was pretty cool, but I felt like Riven went above and beyond. I'd love to brag by saying I didn't use a notebook, which is true, but boy did I have a lot of back and forth return trips. I found the animal puzzle to be one of the most challenging ever in my gaming experiences.

Might as well. In no particular order for the PC: Morrowind, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate I and II, Not PC: Xenogears, Resident Evil 4, Legacy of Kains minus Blood Omen 2. Probably not my best of the best, just games I like and happen to remember currently.

Ok. I'm in the "Oblivion isn't scary" category as well, but one moment which manages to thoroughly creep me out is the shrine to Sithis in Deepscorn Hollow. Have to give Bethesda credit for that one, the design is claustrophobic and utterly despondent. It's all blood and tears and despair, just terrific. You can almost imagine one of those hands reaching out to shove you toward that equally terrifying statue to the Void itself. As a rule, I try not to spend too long in there.

One of my favourite folk-ish songs to play, "Willow's Song" of The Wicker Man fame. Well, I never play folk stuff so it's probably about the only tune. Anyway, the song gets a very sexy interpretation in the film complete with ass-slapping and emphasis on the "please come". The last two lines are very :ohmy: "Willow's Song" by Paul Giovanni w/lyrics by Robert Burns Heigh ho! Who is there? No one but me, my dear. Please come say, How do? The things I'll give to you. By stroke as gentle as a feather I'll catch a rainbow from the sky And tie the ends together. Heigh ho! I am here Am I not young and fair? Please come say, How do? The things I'll show to you. Would you have a wond'rous sight The midday sun at midnight? Fair maid, white and red, Comb you smooth and stroke your head How a maid can milk a bull And every stroke a bucketful

Whoa, that's intense. I certainly know what I'll be thinking about for the next ten minutes.

I rather enjoy a being single again. I guess. I like fekkin.

I think I see where this is going, but I wonder if it will spawn a worthy debate at all. Anyway, the question as it stands is entirely pointless.

I'd surely pass. They'd have to resurrect Lennon for me to %&$! my way into a concert. Nothing against masturbation, it just seems like a bit much for a simple band performance. Edit: *sigh* These filters make me feel like a child at times. The word started with 'W' and I think you can figure it out.

I agree to an extent. Twin Snakes is a nice port/upgrade, but that's about it. The worst new features are the redone cutscenes which were lifted straight out of the Matrix. None were terrible on their own, but all were very silly. Like Snake running on a moving missile. How funny! But in all, these ridiculous scenes totally spoil the story's pathos which makes me run back to the PSX version for a more serious adventure. You can barely adhere to the drama while Snake's jump-kicking grenades.

As far as JRPGs go, they're mostly top of the line games. I've played all but FFIII, including those on other systems (FFLegend on Gameboy, FFAdventure, Tactics, etc.) Of all, I can't help but love the classic VI more than any of the other titles. FFX does get major points for great presentation and a heavily involved plot. The theme of sacrifice was presented superbly. X-2 kind of ruined it though, but X still stands out on its own.
