Crysis 2, I just played the demo and it's painful.
When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against each other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives.

Dungeons and Dragons. You see this game is a vile stain on the history of humanity. It results in people with no lives making their existence even more pointless. Not only that but it's practically an abstinence program in itself. Fortunately all those who play it will never have to worry about reproducing, nevertheless the danger is still there. So what I propose is that we tag all the games, when they are bought, DHS will come to their homes and abduct them. From this point on we have two options: A). We sent them to Gitmo where they'll "eat" all the "cock meat sandwiches" given to them; or B). We send them to Nepal, where hopefully the decadent, backwards government will kill them....kill them all.

DnD is for unoriginal RPers that can't make a system that takes less than a year to learn right.

Saying that playing D&D makes one "unoriginal" just sounds like elitist bullshit. BTW I learned the D&D system in less then a year.

However, I will concede that 4th edition should've never been made. It made pretty much every class the same, destroyed a lot of the detail and a lot of classic elements, tried and failed at being "darker and edgier!!!111!!1!1" and seemed too videogame-y.

Rolamec, you were kidding, right? If any of that was serious, it just shows that you know absolutely nothing about D&D. Funny how a game for people with no social life actually requires one to have friends in order to play...

On another note, I think Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts seemed like a pretty stupid idea.

If we're bringing Tabletop RPGs into this, then I might as well mention FATAL. No matter how you may feel about D&D, there is no sane person in this world who actually plays FATAL. It is merely something to gasp and point at, much like the bearded child prostitute who works the alley behind your favourite pub.

Well, at least it let us read a most beautifully humorous review. That's probably the only good thing to come from it.

Not saying it's impossible, but I've had a lot of people say White Wolf manuals are easier to understand.

Besides, freeform and personally made games work best in your groups in general. (assuming done right)

Eh, I honestly wouldn't know. I'm just making a ridiculous proposition based on stereotypes, third or fourth hand accounts of the game, and one memorable episode of Lizzy McGuire (yeah, I use to watch it as a kid, so what, Duff was and is hot) where some guy gets hooked on it, loses sleep and adopts a zombie like complexion. In short, how I make all my decisions.

FATAL is like the Triangle Factory Fire or the Bhopal leak. A horrific catastrophe that serves as a warning to all who do not keep precautions.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I'd say Action 52, but I laughed so much at this ridiculosity of it. :lol2:

In all seriousness, though, Jimmy Neutron vs. Jimmy Negatron is the worst game ever. It was the first video that I got that was solely my own. I've had it since 2001. I still can't beat a single level in it. :mad:

I'd have to agree with this. Before my brother got married and had children, he would buy Madden Football yearly, and I'd have to wonder why.

Of course I can't complain too much, before Microsoft axed Aces Studio, I used to buy the newest Flight Simulator from them. I may even buy Microsoft Flight when (and if) it comes out.
