Are there any video game lines you incorporate into conversation a lot? For example, I have a tendency to say “would you kindly” when making requests a lot, although only people who played BioShock know that I am making a joke. Everyone else has no idea why I seem to say it in italics. @Alyxx @kingpotato @The Blackangel @killamch89 @skyfire @Executor Akamia @DylanC

Which is more attractive to you? Do you feel one hurts the other? Do you think video game companies resent the used market? Myself, I doubt if the gaming companies care - cause probably they make enough new sales so competition is not a problem.

In this thread, I cannot help but be astounded by the sheer number of unplayed games @killamch89 and @Alyxx happen to have. Yet this seems very common. I won’t ask “how the heck do you afford all these games?” as that might be rude, so instead I’ll ask, “how do you budget for your video games?” Like, do you set rules for your spending? Is there a certain amount or percentage of your budget monthly you let yourself use to buy games? In my case, I usually only purchase a game if I decide I Must Have It. And if that is the case, I try to do overtime and then shop only out of that budget. Though if I see a good deal or if I am reaching the end of a previous game in a series, I will often make an exception. As a result, I do not have many games.

+ for @kingpotato. @Alyxx we have a lot of Tweets available for RT!

There was a kid, I think in South Korea, that dropped dead at a gaming café after playing 51 hours straight of an online game without breaks, except maybe to go to the bathroom. I don't remember which game he was playing. I know here in the states gaming cafes always have a closing time. Usually somewhere from 10pm to midnight. And normally they don't open until somewhere from noon until midafternoon. I used to hang out at one, just for something to do back when Diablo II was the hot new thing.

Ah, I can totally grok that. I always thought it’d be cool to live at the bottom of the sea and explore. And Rapture’s ambiance is amazing. I never noticed any drains in the floor … but hey, maybe I just don’t look at the floor enough =D Ah, I can totally grok that.

I never noticed any drains in the floor … but hey, maybe I just don’t look at the floor enough =D I feel like it’d have been a great place in theory, but in practice, it’s not like everyone came in with the same fair shot at success. Didn’t help that Ryan was a hypocrite either, nor that Fontaine was better at his game and an asshole. In that type of economy, I think one is counting on folks to be good for goodness’ sake—and alas, I don’t think one can count on people.

+ 40 to @kingpotato, +30 for @Alyxx, and +10 for @killamch89

6 to 7 months still is not that bad.

Thank you! I second these nominations, and also nominate @The Blackangel!

My friend learned what modifications to add to his first car because of playing Need For Speed. He had gotten his hands on an Evo VIII.

@kingpotato, @DylanC, @killamch89, and @Alyxx - this is still going on. Get your extra points! We just uploaded a new video to our YouTube channel!
