For me it has to be the Civilization series. I have played them all since Civ I (including Alpha Centauri), and I find myself always going back to the latest iteration and losing myself for hours. There is always more to learn and experience (new leaders, different maps, difficulty levels, scenarios etc), that it…

All the games published by Paradox Interactive (Victoria, Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings)

If you're gonna fake it anyway, why force it to be "real"? Let me choose to pretend I'm in Fifth Element on a star cruise.

I completely agree with your scoring system. Having a numerical value to such a wide media is just not healthy to the industry. It's simply insane to say things like "The Stanley Parable is 50% better than Just Dance 3", because those items simply don't compare.

Never seen The Exorcist. No real desire too, either. Guess I'm a bit of a chickenshit when it comes to straight horror. Horror comedy I like (think I'm going to crank up Cabin In The Woods tonight, for Halloween), but straight horror (except for Alien) isn't for me.

gibs. Lots of gibs... or you can bundle this with Meaningful Enemy Feedback...

Wow that's impressive work. In case anybody is curious, here's a list of the gear he used to take these shots:

This gives me the opportunity to post my favorite sigur ros song

Look underneath the illuminated 10key pad. Those are two honking big black buttons. Perhaps the numpad is a trackpad that probably goes from one mode to the other with a button press.

only if it's the original Red Alert.

There are some awesome and amazing photos in those galleries. The only thing that bothers me is the amount of post-processing on some of them. Processing is like salt. In the right amounts, it brings out the natural flavour/beauty. Just too much and it completely degrades the experience.
