[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DeeJ The zombie apocalypse is upon us. Most of humanity has already fallen to the hordes of flesh-eaters. You have survived because of your ingenuity, cat-like reflexes, and dashing good looks. As you travel in search of food, you find a grizzled old man who offers to give you a powerful weapon. Now is your chance to make a difference in this battle against the undead. You can choose any one weapon, real or fictional. What do you choose and why?[/quote]Optimus Prime. Not only can he turn into a truck, tear zombies apart with me sat on his shoulder, but even come out with great philosophical quotes. [quote]What do you think is missing from video games right now?[/quote]Innovation. No one's made 'the next step'. Maybe there isn't one, maybe this is as far as video games will go? I sure hope it isn't, and that someone, somewhere is going to have the idea which will take us into the next era of gaming. [quote]Top Five MCs? (That stands for Master of Ceremonies, not Master Chief. Please answer in the form of five [b]YouTube links[/b].)[/quote][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvEtJKcUn3s]Ali G / Sacha Baron-Cohen[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4Uv_4jGgAM]Eminem[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI6CfKcMhjY]The Lonely Island[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0kF71EaRfI]JAY-Z[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci40ae8BlcE]Dizzee Rascal.[/url] [quote]How and when did you first fall in love with Halo?[/quote]I was left alone with my cousin's Xbox and Halo CE. I'd never played a first person shooter before, and couldn't work out how to crouch to get under a door on the Pillar of Autumn. I spent around half an hour trying to get to the bridge, and never succeeded - but I enjoyed it! [quote]Which movie would you most like to play as a video game? (please submit your answer in the form of link to an [b]iconic image[/b] from that movie)[/quote][url=http://www.julia.no/media/images/articles/big/42196634741615928660166.jpg]Maybe not directly, but certainly the concept.[/url] [quote]Do you think the game community could be doing more to cut down on harassment or unsporting behavior in general? [/quote]I think if rules were enforced against the actions in question, then yes, it would cut down. But without doing that, there are always going to be people who try and stir things up, and while some grow out of it, there will always be more to take their place. The best thing we can all do is ignore it. [quote]What is the most memorable positive experience you had with a stranger while gaming online?[/quote]I was playing Zombie Panic Source with some friends, they all got wiped out early on, and it was me and a few randoms left in the game. With the undead clawing at our barricades, we did an inventory, formed a plan and tried to break out of our predicament, one of our party selflessly chose to stay behind and hold off the hoards of undead, while the rest of us ran. When a member of our group was infected, he told us, rather than waiting for our backs to be turned when he transformed, sacrificing easy kills for our safety! It was like some totally cliched zombie film, but I don't think I've ever had so much fun, and got so into a game, with complete strangers as I did then. I still play with some of those guys now. There's nothing like a hoard of ravenous zombies to bring people together! [quote]What's the best game in your opinion - in terms of value/dollars ratio as opposed to raw quality - that came out this year?[/quote] This year? Ahhhh, I'm going torn between Mass Effect 3 and Minecraft for XBLA. I've never had a really capable PC for Minecraft, so being able to enjoy it with friends who also would probably never touch a PC game was great. ME3 was a premium game at a premium price, while people have their complaints about it, overall, I'd say it hit the bar. Honourable mention to Guild Wars 2. I've only played it at a friend's house so far, thanks to my PC breaking, but damn, for a poorly versed MMO player, but fan of fantasy RPG's, I like what I've seen! [quote]If you could easily teach a thousand people one idea, what would it be?[/quote]Just because [i]you[/i] don't like a genre of music, doesn't make it bad. [quote]Is there one game (other than Halo) that you can point to that really hooked you and turned you into a gamer? What was it and why?[/quote]Oblivion. I'm a huge Lord of The Rings nerd, and generally love any similar fantasy, so being given the tools to carve out my own adventure, in this world was just fantastic for me.
