:) I got into watching LPs when I looked up solutions for games I was stuck in or wanting to see if a game was worth getting. And some were just so good to watch that I kind of took it from there. For me it was the XCom (original) LPs that got me started. Then I moved on to watching people play horror games because I…

I think that is exactly what appeals to some.... can't for the life of me understand why....

His horrendous save state abuse in XCom (the original) was what made me stop watching his videos. In some it was so ridiculous that he basically reloaded every 10-30 seconds in a 10 minute video. I can understand reloading once or twice if the game is being overly mean (which the original XCom was a lot), but he took…

Hm, I like watching them so I'll try to explain. I for one enjoy gaming myself just as much as watching someone else play. By watching someone play you have the opportunity to experience the game in a different way, you are free to take it all in, without being distracted by having to act yourself. At least if the…

So every time an Asian is type cast as the shady character/random china man with long braid and mustache they should take offence? Or a German/Russian is type cast as the antagonist of an American hero in movie, should they be offended? Or an African-American as a gangster? Stereotypes are everywhere, even in the US.…

Exactly! As a blonde white woman I don't take offence either. Whether it's the busty female straight out of a playboy mag that can't drive (well she can but constantly wrecks her car) and needs car insurance x to the spectacled uncool neighbour next door who doesn't have THE new car of car company y or the mediocre…

The reaction is understandable. What if he was serious? Better be safe and raise the alarm once too often than do nothing and have more children's blood shed.

The number of games I have completed is between 10 and 20. I have a game completion rate of around 25%. I don't have much time to play, so when I feel like playing I go with what game tickles my fancy at the time and not what game I was playing before. That results in a lot of games in various states of completion. I…

From a design point of view I have always liked the 1st gen Sony consoles. The slims not so much though. But this will likely take the crown, pushing my current favourite the fat PS3 to 2nd place. They just know how to make it look stylish and cool.

Totally!

I don't get it either. Plus his vids are so badly done that I can't suffer through them more than a few seconds. Another claim to fame which is highly questionable.

yeah to each his own. Was more like a celebration of fake blood to me XD.

It has been some time since I have read the books, so I doubt that it is connected to that. I think it is more down to the way it was shot and the way it looked. It was so.....empty.... at least that is the impression I got of it. From the books I remembered the hustle and bustle, I sorely missed that in the show.

I disagree. Mad Men for instance had me hooked at episode 2. I have been watching it ever since. Other series like suits likewise (though season 2 put an end to that). It was entirely possible that the scene would have been SO good and SO interesting that it would have made me give the series a second chance. The red…

Well if a series hasn't got me halfway in the first series, it's a goner. Maybe it didn't really grow on me as I thought that it was lacking compared to the books which were really powerful and hard to put down (had more than one all-nighter with them).

I never really got into GoT, even though I had read the books. The TV series never grew on me. And after the episode all my friends who do watch it were all over facebook and twitter gushing about it and how shocked they were and whatnot. Watched the sequence and well, I'm still not into the show. I guess if you are…

Well, the title is one line. Read the article again, the statement there is quite different.

Your comments made it appear otherwise regarding the easy bit. Naturally it is a person's responsibility to overcome it, only they can. He didn't blame the achievements for his addiction, he only described his slow decent into addiction before he finally realised that he does have a problem on his hands. I think many…

That was my addiction. There was a time where I was depressed, my life was going downhill, so I fled into a MMO. I made a character, and the more I played, the more I became that character. It was not a separate entity any longer at some point, it was the virtual me. What I wanted to be: successful, popular, happy,…
