Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh, and on the subject of dying while playing video games in the car, here's a tip from someone who spends a million years traveling by bus each month: driving/racing games. Bring Mario Kart or something and you'll feel fine unless you're like REEALLLY sensitive. Platformers, fighters and anything else that doesn't have much text are pretty good for it as well, but driving games are best. Sometimes I play text-heavy games anyway if they're interesting enough, but usually need to stop. Oh, and puzzle games are bad for that. Bleh.

Portal 2 is only about a five hour game, and I felt pretty damn attached to the two robotic characters in it, as well as a guy that had been dead for a long time, and I only heard through recordings, though.

50 hour games are retarded. Remember when people were bitching that TP was only like, what, 30 hours? What the ********. Give me a short, consistently good, well-paced game over a long game where I'm going to be grinding and doing a lot of uninteresting reading and traveling across huge landscapes.

duck nuckem

Yeah I dunno, it really really depends on the specific game and the person's taste; there isn't really any opinion that's logically right. I've played a 70-hour game and wished that it had given me more time, and I probably couldn't ever feel attached to characters from a short FPS game like Portal 2 (though, I've yet to try it so can't say for sure).

lol actually I'm glad that Sonic 4 is in episodes because instead of wasting 50$, I only spent 15$ on finding out whether I enjoyed it enough to pay for it. I could have came to that conclusion from a free demo, though... I haven't gotten a free demo off of anywhere but Steam in soooo long!

YAY! I haven't gotten any WiiWare demos since the very first ones they put up, just 'cause I didn't know they were there. >> Anything else good at all?

Why do we argue? Every opinion is so strongly affected by the individual's personality, which is shaped by the totally unique sum of all their experiences from the moment their parents conceived them. If you can't understand why someone likes one game or type of music more than another, or why they like dogs better than cats or I don't know what, there's not too much point in arguing because you can never understand their point of view in the same way that they can.
Not that ALL argument is useless, like say, in a courtroom or something. But just arguing about tastes is pretty pointless, unless you're interested in seeing what others feel about it.

I am gonna try to avoid arguing from now on, unless the matter is really urgent.
