Some of mine include RTS's, Souls Games, and Fighting games. SweatySpookz: I want to hear a first time story.

Rdeacon: My question.. do you feel there is a line that games cross that makes them too real?  This could be the chores in Zelda/Red Dead,  disturbing realistic graphics or even games that give you morality consequences that diminish feel of the game. JoeColeslaw: Happy new year! Glad to be back! So question, - how competitive are you with leaderboards in games? How about gamerscore, trophies, and achievements? - Since you are answering questions all willy nilly... I had another question as far as the Lucas Film Games / Indiana Jones news... -Is it almost too late for Indiana Jones? For some reason, "from Russia with Love" comes to mind. I played it as a kid, but I don't know why... not like I had nostalgia for the film... but was a  fan of the 007 series. Maybe this would be along the lines of their previous game, 2003- Emperors Tomb, stand-alone. Or coinciding with a new, movie. Elfsawrath52: Where’s the best place to put a Buttloadda stickers?
