Fontane's discussions

I saw this an my eyes drifted over toward my Black Mesa coffee mug...road trip time. Read more

@That's What She Said: The storylines for 1 and 3 were fairly easy to follow. MGS2s storyline felt like a train wreck to me. Read more

@MegaMetaTurtle: The final boss could provoke religious outcry? Hmm...I should probably finish that game before I give in and look up some spoilers. Read more

@HarlequinRiot: I know I differ from a lot of people here, but I've never felt that the time travel, masks, wolves, hell even the boat in Wind Waker, felt like gimmicks to me. They've always seemed rather well thought out and implemented to me and were integral to the gameplay and storytelling of their repsective… Read more

@That mop mutant from NES.: I sat down yesterday and realized that I hadn't touched a single game since last Sunday afternoon. I've had plenty of opportunity to do so, I just haven't. I'm not sure if I'm ready to blame it on age just yet though. I'm still holding on to the notion I had as a kid that I'd never… Read more

There was a discussion a few days ago on this article: [kotaku.com] about the Zelda franchise needing to become a darker and more mature series. I'd like to hear some more opinions about the subject. Read more

@James Henderson: Ah, I see. Then yeah, that does seem fairly dumb, although I suppose it's possible there are some similar problems in that situation but it seems rather unlikely. Read more

@Carlos M.: Read more

@James Henderson: Playing offline without an update should be no problem, there are however all sorts of problems trying to get different versions of a game to play nice together online. Read more

@Flagina: I picked up the first L4D on Steam about a year ago and have yet to play it. I've played my buddy's copy on the 360 a bit but haven't touched my own on the pc. Read more

@_aD: The Compaq was definitely low end, but my HP notebook and my buddy's weren't. Still had leg searing heating issues and cooling fans that ran insanely loud while the system was idle. Read more

@NightsirK has paws for typing: 15 hours into Dragon Age I decided to stop. The story and the characters just didn't really grab me like Bioware's other titles. If the story really picks up shortly after where I left off though I'd gladly give it another go. Read more

@Ajhayter: Combat is greatly different from Mass Effect. On the consoles it is much closer to Knights of the Old Republic's combat system. On the pc I imagine is plays more like Baldur's Gate. Read more

@toadstoolporridge: From what I understand (with my knowledge of the subject coming entirely from looking at the vibration unit in a clear ps2 controller). The vibration is accomplished by a small motor rotating quickly rotating a weight around. Having lots of varying speeds might require more motors/weights, and… Read more

@Sir-Lucius does anything for Dethklok: This drives me absolutely insane. I always try to look at issues like these from the developer's point of view but I can't figure out why they don't do this. Is it laziness, would it actually be so complicated to implement, or do they honestly not see that maybe the way they… Read more

@Ali-Kharazi: Bethesda's rpgs always do this to me, which is why I keep coming back. I wish I had my original Xbox still so I could tell you how long I've spent playing Morrowind. That game owned my life for about a year and a half. Read more

@Carlos M.: I think either case can earn you a star. Although I think getting a star based on a single comment is more often the case as it stands out more. Read more

@Jennacide: Perhaps if the media took the time to do a little research and actually play the games they find issue with, then they might have found it. Of course we all know that (with very rare exception) that's not the case. Read more

@Rachel Fogg: I've had an HP and a Compaq (which is owned by HP) both of which ended up having heating issues. A buddy of mine has experienced the same with his HP. I also know people with HP laptops that have no problems so it seems they can be rather hit or miss. Read more

@Jay Jay Deng: I'm sorry. Am I to understand that you think I'm being ignorant by asking for polite, mature debate rather than childish bickering? Read more
