I'm sure I've done something like this when I was kid (after all, kids are pretty stupid) but I can't recall any time in the past 10 years I've lied about beating a game I haven't. What's the point? There's no bragging right to be had in a false accomplishment. Maybe some people get enjoyment out of that, but I…

@fELIXADER: Do you mind if I ask how old you are? I remember when I was younger being really disappointed in games others found entertaining, just because they didn't meet my expectations. As I got older, it got easier seeing through the bullshit and knowing better how a game was going to turn out. Very rarely in the…

I passed on my first test, and have never gotten a ticket of any kind. The only accident I've ever been in (for the 4 years I've been driving, too) was when I was rear ended, and I was determined by the police to be not-at-fault.

I think pretty much every game that has any kind of progression system for the single player campaign should have a new game plus feature. It's a way to very easily extend the life of your game; if nothing else, you can usually double the amount of play out of it, sometimes more.

I would go with number 1. Least amount of hassle. What's an extra few weeks? Just make do with your current computer for a little while longer, and it will hopefully end up with less problems down the line.

@Ricorich196: It was enough for them to include the option with the older systems. Why they didn't here is beyond me.

@Xaif: I find gold a lot more tacky than silver. Silver is sleek; gold just looks like you're showing off.

"clacking away on their keyboards without having to look up the screen all the time"

@Frank: I used that program so much. The fact that I can touch type with relative accuracy and speed today, is due in part to that program. Even if it was a bitch and a half to use sometimes.

@Cochese 2.0: Unfortunately Shenmue was a commercial failure, not selling nearly enough copies to justify its astronomically high budget. Plus, it was on a system that didn't do as well in the long run either, which is why people remember GTA III for popularizing the sandbox style of gameplay.

@fELIXADER: So basically, you hate everything the game is about? That just makes it not your kind of game. Plenty of people loved it and still play it. Maybe you just need to find a different genre of game to play.

Excellent music choice.

@stafax: Oh, whoops, my bad. Neither of you have an avatar, which is how I usually tell people apart when I'm in a rush.

@MacGyver1138: Mmm, pizza. I know what I'm having for lunch.

@Skunky: Probably for the best.

@Saturn666: I expected the moon to be dwarfed by the other planets, but didn't realize it was going to be so detailed and realistic looking. It really startled the hell out of me.

Trains, by far. I don't get to travel often, but the few chances I've had to go by train instead of by plane were far superior.

Did anybody else lean back away from the screen when Jupiter showed up? It felt like it was crowding my personal space, there.

@holyspidoo: I feel iTunes is another business model that works really well. I don't buy much music anymore, but when I do want to get something, it's incredibly easy to just open iTunes, do a quick search, and buy and download immediately. It's even DRM free now.

This is why I like going to concerts. I can support the artists I like by seeing them perform their music right in front of me! Way better than just buying a CD, the record label gets most of the money anyway.
