Question: How often have your doctors, or even nurses, discussed costs with you? I can't say I ever remember once going to the doctor that they have done this when they've said I need this or that procedure, test, medication, whatever. And I've heard plenty others say similarly. Yet when I...

Gamers are locked out of many games. What gives? Games are an interactive medium. Let us do stuff! What's more, we drop significant money on a console, more money to buy games, and then developers leave us twiddling our thumbs rather than operating a controller. I get it. You spent thousands...

Imagine you had the attention of someone for a week to have them play anything you wanted. What are you going to give them that makes them think the week after, "Hey, I could really go for some more of Game X!"? If we want to break down barriers to get others to see video games as more, then...

When many people think of games they don't think of the stories, the narratives, the vast expansiveness that games can and do contain. They think of pushing buttons to make stuff on a screen happen to pass some time, to have some fun. Why is this?

I never really got into RSS subscriptions until recently and have been going crazy adding them to Google Reader. EDIT: To expand this topic, what are your social media subscriptions in general (e.g., Twitter/Youtube/RSS feeds)? A random collection of my RSS feeds: 1UP Apostrophe Abuse...

What are some of the longest delays you've had from starting a game, putting it down for a while for whatever reason, and finally returning to the game and beating it? I just finally beat Super Mario Galaxy, two years after first starting it.

Today is an ice day! The roads are a skating rink here in Iowa, and I'm not taking the chance of another car bodychecking me into a ditch on the way to work. So! I am staying home and playing Super Mario Galaxy and bit.trip BEAT today. What are you doing?!

Because a few people posted in the resolutions topic about losing weight this year, and I'm interested in fitness in general, I am posting this topic. What are your fitness routines, and what are some of your fitness goals? So far this year I haven't really done anything fitness related...

YOU'RE LOOKIN' LIKE A FOOL WITH YOUR PANTS ON THE GROUND!!

Last night on the Tonight Show, Chuck star Zachary Levi discussed online gaming with Conan O'Brien (p1, p2). Levi said good things about his experience playing online, at first. Then Conan asked about the potty-mouthed 'tweens and the taunts they do. Levi then awkwardly tells Conan about...

Nah, not really, but what do you chaps think of the recent late night spat? Personally, I'm hoping CBS casts off Letterman for "hiking the Appalachian trail" with his intern and snags Conan as his successor to reprise the Letterman/Leno duel that followed Johnny Carson's departure from the...

Should gamers be allowed to skip through games much as readers can skip through books or viewers through movies or listeners through CDs?

I know someone, offhandedly, mentioned resolutions in another topic, but they really deserve their own topic for proper comment and observation on working toward being better. One of mine is to write a book, and, at the very least, to begin writing again.

What are they? Can't say I'm familiar with the ones for these two consoles as I am the Wii, so I'm curious what others think they are. Because for all the graphics bashing the Wii takes, it seems as if it might be the one console helping 2D continue on and, somewhat, thrive. And, as a...

It's that time of the yearâ€â€

Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards. Post your fav. Tiger Woods jokes! Let's all have a good laugh at a fallen celebrity to make our holidays happy!

We all know the censor serves a purpose, civil and comedic, but the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission might take issue with it. Everyone has had his (oops; his/her) fun with a certain censored racial epithet, but saying "nigger" might imply “something smaller and less important". I'm...

I've been playing NBA Jam T.E. for the Sega Genesis a lot lately and have fun messing around with the various special characters. Who's your favorite? Personally, no team is better than Fresh Prince Will Smith on the San Antonio Spurs with Dennis Rodman!

When y'all finish watching a movie, do you keep watching until the credits have rolled? It doesn't matter if I'm watching at home or in the theater, I watch all the way through. One, you see some interesting things in the names and jobs. Two, it provides a relaxing period to conclude the...
