    Most Annoying Video Game Character

    Some of my top choices have already been mentioned, so I'll go with Natalia from Goldeneye. I find that escort missions are pretty much always a pain - look at Ashley from RE 4 for a solid example of an irritating character - but Natalia was a special kind of stupid. I can't imagine the number...

    How old were you when you first got into gaming?

    I don't think I'd be able to pinpoint my exact age, but it was three or four. I've owned a gaming console in one form or another since my earliest memories. My earliest gaming memory is playing Mario Bros. on the Atari 2600, probably not that long after it first came out. Might have played games...

    What is your favorite RPG?

    Tough choice. For the PC it's probably Dragon Age: Origins. I enjoy the franchise in general, but Origins has an excellent mixture of storytelling and strategic combat that the other two games never quite managed to meet. Though I still hate the Mage Tower bit. KOTOR and KOTOR 2 are close...

    Too old to play games?

    Meh. Games are a form of entertainment. I see no reason why they should be age-restricted. If anything there are more and more games coming out that are specifically targeted to an older market. If I likes it, I plays it. I think there's an advantage to playing games as you get older, as well...

    PS4 and Xbox One - worth getting both?

    I got a PS4 for Christmas last year, and though there are some fun games for the thing I don't find myself using it as often as I used my PS3 when it first came out. I've contemplated picking up the Xbox One instead... but I'm not sure if there's much point, as the two seem to have fairly...

    What are some good Indie PC Games?

    I haven't tried it in a while, but Project Zomboid was fairly fun. You're set loose in a world overrun with zombies and have to wander around picking up food stuffs and other products while fending off the undead. Lord knows zombies have become a bit old, but Zomboid was fairly fun, if a bit...

    What consoles do you currently own that still work?

    Most of my consoles still work. That includes - among the older ones, anyway - an NES, an SNES, an N64, two GBAs, a handful of DS's (I've amalgamated collections since getting married), a PS1, two PS2s, a PSP, and a few Segas that I picked up at a yard sale. Can't remember which Sega systems...

    2DS?

    Does anyone own the 2DS over the 3DS? I'm the only one of my friends who does, and I'm honestly surprised about it. I prefer the 2DS. Yes, it doesn't have the 3D, but on the few games where I've tried it out I always wanted to turn the 3D off anyway. I also find the straight-faced design of the...

    Fun games that are laptop-friendly (Integrated graphics)

    I second FTL and Terraria. Both great games that are endlessly replayable, because they're random every time you play. You can also give Dwarf Fortress a swing, if you like, though it takes a loooong time to learn, and you'll probably want to get a graphics pack to upgrade away from the ASCII...
