These kinds of discussions never seem to go anywhere. Westerners can't get over the culturally charged implications of the word "Sport". "Sports" are what sons do to make their fathers proud here. An American athlete is a hero, associated with qualities like bravery and honor and your typical...

Water for the sake of water doesn't sound very exciting. I guess we'll see.

That probably has more to do with the fact that at the time Call of Duty 2 was the best shooter on a console which has a tendency to attract shooter fans. I seriously doubt that many people bought Call of Duty 2 because it was yet another WWII game. Also, keep in mind that console gamers have...

A movement heavily influenced by eastern philosophy, yes.

My religion is one that rejects most spiritual thought, but embraces the moral aspects of the world's religions. It is most closely resemblant of Zen Buddhism, but I wouldn't want to ascribe myself with that religion's certain precepts, which I couldn't always follow. I also don't call myself a...

I credit Dr. Phil with making a talk show that is about resolving domestic conflict rather than encouraging it. Also, from what I have seen of his show he is very mild in manner and in opinions. It isn't cool to like Dr. Phil but I don't necessarily hate him.

I can't respectably take the position that he is attacking videogames with that quote. He isn't. Furthermore, if he was I couldn't respectably criticize him for it, as that would be a perfectly acceptable hypothesis. We do live in a society where homocide is surrogately experienced by pretty...

Just reading over discussions like these is so depressing. Not because of any view expressed as much as how vehemently individuals defend those views without any regard for why they are defending or why they need to be defended in the first place. Personal notions about god and death are the...

Not exactly what I used to envision when I pondered the future of gaming. I'de think about the potential for fully immersive gameplay, not pores and pot marks on faces or the amazing ways that developers will be recreating hair. Every new technology that doesn't give us better gameplay just...

Really, was flying Planes ever that fun? That kind of stuff was what you did after beating the game. It was always secondary to enjoyable, open-ended missions, which is what the series is about. It seems like people only remember the silly, tacked on stuff and not the incredible depth of...

While I don't see what is so amazing about that trailer, all the negativity towards Bioshock I'm reading seems a little silly. What makes you think the game will be boring? Everything I've seen points to the contrary. And an underground city is at least mildly inventive and atmospheric, rather...

I hate how novelty-oriented the shooter genre has become. Developers choose to set themselves apart with technical details that have little to no effect on how fun the game actually is. Doom 3 is a fantastic example of a shooter that got away with ancient gameplay through polygons and facial...

Like most games in the genre the quality of your experience depends almost entirely upon your number of friends in the game. Find a good guild and you'll be hooked. Run around and grind by yourself and you'll lose interest. Even "Kill X Hellboars" can become a blast when you are doing it with...

I wouldn't be in favor of an additional faction unless they do so for the Axis and Allies both. Maybe Italy and the Soviet Union? Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what they do. Relic makes expansion packs count, just like Blizzard. It'll be worth the wait.

Southern Sun is trash? Oakenfold is a pretty mediocre producer but that vocal track makes for a classic. Try some remixes. In regards to the original poster, The best suggestion so far is probably Shpongle and Boards of Canada. Aphex Twin and Amon Tobin I would hardly consider psychadelic. Then...
