What is your favorite song off of tobyMac's Momentum album?

Maybe.

I will not. Wait. Why are you asking me that? I hate staying up that late. XD

Ugh, no. Ralph Nader is a terrible person who needs to just sit down and be quiet. I literally lost all respect for him after the 2000 election fiasco, where Pat Buchanan, of all people, gave Gore his votes, but Nader, the "liberal," selfishly kept them for himself. It's like this: I remember Perot running in both 92 and 96, and while he bugged me to death because he was on all the time (it seemed like to my young mind), he at least made some sense. Nader is just a fool, and a selfish one at that. Plus, any party that has Jello Biafra in it doesn't have my vote. That man is obnoxious.

No, me... I'm probably closest to a social democrat. That's the best I can explain it, because I can't really classify my views. I essentially support a healthy mix of privatization and bureaucracy in the nation.

EDIT: My mistake about Nader being the Green Party. Nader is currently an independent, but he did run under the Green banner in 2000 and 2004.

Hmm... Yours, I believe.

Staying up until dawn is fun. Why not?

Because it makes me good for nothing the next day, and I do it on a regular basis, so I don't have a regular sleep schedule.

Are you a fan of Strongbad?

I was a few years ago, but my humor has turned... decidedly darker. I either need ludicrously stupid (worse than Strong Bad), intelligent (Descartes was sitting in a cafe and finished his coffee. The waitress came up and asked him if he'd like another. He looked at her, said, "I think not," and disappeared), dry or very, very dark... which is why Strong Bad isn't for me. Nor is Homestar Runner. Or Strong Sad. Or Strong Mad. Not even Homesar. They all make me roll my eyes. Except for the King of Town eating Strong Bad's cocoa butter, or the Poopsmith. But in all honesty, I haven't seen any of that stuff for close to two or three years, probably longer.

Did the OXM review of Fallout 3 assure you that the combat in the game was good?

Honestly?

No.

I agree with OXM's off and on. They'll suggest something as awesome, and I'll try it out and disagree. Of course, their major coverage tends to be pretty spot on for me, though I think I'm going to absolutely disagree with their reviews for Dead Space and Silent Hill: Homecoming.

Are you looking forward to Silent Hill enough to reserve it?

Chozon1 wrote:Are you looking forward to Silent Hill enough to reserve it?

I thought it was out already... huh.

Regardless, it looks awesome... but I think I'll have to rent it or get it used. The developer doesn't exactly have the best track record. They were behind Marc Ecko's Getting Up and Enter the Matrix (Double Helix, the developer, was formed after a merger between The Collective and Shiny Entertainment), which doesn't lend credence to the idea of a quality game.

I thought both Marc Ecko's Getting Up and Enter the Matrix were supposed to be at least above average. Then again, what do I know?

There's your question. What do I know?

Regarding those two games... not much. Enter the Matrix was decent, but it was riddled with bugs. Add to that the fact that you can see all the FMV sequences on a bonus disc in the big Matrix boxed set... and it kind of voids the game. Getting Up, on the other hand, was like a ghetto version of Prince of Persia, with none of the charm. You wander around, trying to do this and this and this, and yeah, at first it's cool, but then you start running into the combat. And the combat is terrible. When so much of a game is focused around the combat, around a combat system that does not work, then you have a problem. Add to that the blatant commercialization of the game--ads were everywhere, completely integrated into the game design itself (which wouldn't be a problem if the game play was actually, you know, good)--and it came off feeling like an 8-hour clothing advertisement with graffiti. Not fun. At all.

Graffiti is fun.

What does thoust know of Condemned?

I know that the first was one of the most frightening games that I've ever played and the second was one of the most disappointing.

What's the most disturbing game you ever played. By disturbing I mean content wise, not gameplay.
