I beat RE4 in 40 hours and only died 93 times, LOL. This was a much better RE than any previous (no ink ribbons to save game on typewriter!) and IMO, is far superior to GoW... and not just because I can beat it. :p

34 hours into RE4 and haved died 70 times so far, but having great fun. Had some tough times but this game has precious few instant death traps by comparison to GoW; I can eventually win a tough fight even if it takes me hours, LOL. I just wish there was a way to skip the cut scenes... maybe...

I enlisted the ultimate cheat: a 22 year old video gaming buddy of mine who made me look like a grade-A moron by comparison. Of course, I was telling him where to go and what to do, so I gotta take credit for trailblazing the way for him to beat that crap I was talking about. All in one try...

Dawning Who? ;)

Yes, I'm aware of it. That doesn't mean I have to be happy about it, LOL.

As you may be aware, WoTC has discontinued releasing any new books for their Star Wars d20 game in favor of releasing only Star Wars Minis... Therefore, we have started an online petition to "save" the Star Wars d20 game... SIGN THE "SAVE STAR WARS d20" ONLINE PETITION HERE...

Well, I am in favor of the SW Minis so I have something to use with my SW d20 RPG; I think the minis game kind of stinks, but still play it with my buddy as a favor to his eight year old son who is too young for RPGs. There is enough material available to run SW now and enough fan material to...

If you play the Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) video game (the first one), you'll see why I chose this era for my SW campaign. It's got thousands of jedi and sith warring, mandalorians (like Jango Fett), a jedi council that is hardly all-powerful, etc. Ghenghis Ska has written an...

If the rest of the game wasn't so damn cool, I'd never be so persistent (I almost gave up on Darkwatch until I figured out the controls and I still ended up dying 183 times, LOL, though a great number of these were in three specific areas). I hate to start a game and not beat it if it looks like...

Ok, I get past the stupid lava pit trap after like 30+ restarts, and get to the Maze Of Hades. Here, the game designers thought it would be "fun" to make the nearest checkpoint for restarts all the way at the beginning of the maze, so you have to refight your way through it and the traps again...

Aw, nuts. They really are invincible. :(

Never liked Tomb Raider. Not enough stuff to kill. Just liked staring at Lara Croft's digital bits. :o I'm too old to grasp anything intuitively anymore, LOL. Anything I could grasp intuitively got grasped years ago. There's no room for anything else, least of all button pushing! That's the...

LOL. The auto-pause is the only way you can play the Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment games. If you don't auto-pause (by hitting the space bar, IIRC), you die, because nobody's reflexes are as good as the computer's. Did you not have access to the instruction manual or...

I finally made it past that stupid @!#$% water trap, and things seemed okay until I ran into a damn lava pit trap in the Challenge of Hades that I can't time my jumps to. I get past the first pit ok, but then there's that big lava-filled gap with a weird platform that comes out and goes back...

If you play it like D&D, you'll get killed, LOL. As has been said before, it really forces you (as GM and player) to THINK creatively about your tactics. Use cover, use terrain to your advantage. Don't just stand there and fight! Move around a lot. Jedi killing techniques: Grenades...

Okay, prime example of why I'm now convinced this game sucks: instant death traps. How is this fun? Is it fun for me to scream the "F" word at the top of my lungs and smash my fist into the table a hundred times in a row as the idiots who made this game expect me to be able to swim dash three...

I was new to Star Wars d20 after 20+ years of D&D and it took a bit of getting used to. But now I like it much better than D&D (the mechanics, like VP/WP -- I still love fantasy). The main problem I had was GMing sci-fi. There are all kinds of things to worry about that aren't in D&D: the media...

I'm in Pandora's Temple... Still getting lost, confused and dying constantly. :( I can't remember all the stupid buttons to push to do the combos, block, magic, fatalities, etc. I grew up on Atari 2600 in the 70s, man. One joystick, one button. Now that was gaming! These newfangled games...

Nevermind. Finally read the FAQ, LOL. They did a horrible job of designing this game so you'd know what to do/where to go next. Darkwatch always showed you what to do/where to go, but didn't make it easy to succeed. But you never wasted hours on crap like god of war makes you. Darkwatch is a...

Now I'm stuck a little bit later in the game in a similar stupid situation. I'm on the rooftops of Athens, there are two ropes swinging over to a rooftop. The rooftop has 5 or 6 chests (red orbs and blue/green heal/magic orbs). The problem is, I can't open any of the chests because everytime I...
