I used to do it all the time, started when I was a young kid and since I never tried without I never stopped until I got Stalker: Call of Pripyat. I was planning to mess with the game files to give me invulnerability but started messing about without cheats and came to an epiphany that it was actually a lot more fun without. Since then I've never used cheats, except when really stuck.

Strangely though I remember I used to play wolfenstein: enemy territory (a multiplayer game) and didn't mind that I was constantly getting killed in that yet it didn't dissuade me from using cheats in single player games.

Congratulations Mr. Air S. Hocker, may you rain 30,000 posts more down onto this forum like a glimmering shower of gold.

Oh dear, some times I want to feel sorry for Chris for having to put up with years of people stalking him and interfering with his life, but then he goes and pulls ridiculous stuff like this over sonic's arms being blue. Deary me.

I'm not going to name any specific users since I don't really know many people well enough to give them a shout out, but I've come to realise why I still come here even though the forums aren't as active these days and I don't really enjoy much of the editorial content or approve of the direction the writing is going in. I like this place because the users here, by and large are a sensible bunch of people who don't take things too seriously. People are free to disagree and it's no big deal.

Someone mentioned NeoGAF above which is a great example of a site that's just a massive hive mind for narrow minded points of view (many users there aren't like that but whenever I take a look there that seems to be the prevailing characteristic of the site). Even giant bomb on our own doorstep rubs me the wrong way for some reason, it feels like the whole site is set up to worship Jeff and the others and it's not easy to fit in if you're likely to disagree with the staff's views on things. Gs is just a sensible community of normal people who can think for themselves, even if it means disagreeing with the site's own editorial content, and I rather like that.

Ha wouldn't be the first time another site ripped off GS's look. I don't know what happened to the others though.

It's good to see System Wars united like this in hating Polygon, thanks for reminding me why I like this community.

As much as I dislike Polygon, I can see their point. I don't currently own any of the new gen consoles, and the only home consoles I've owned have been Sony (PS2 and PS3). I've never owned a Nintendo home console, only two of their handhelds (GBC and DS). I've been thinking about whether to purchase a new gen console and which one to buy and I'm not interested, the PS4 and Xbox Three don't have many exclusives that interest me (though we're still in the transition period between two gens), a lot of their best games are available on PC or even still on PS3. I'm starting to think maybe a Wii U might be a good choice just because of the variety of exclusive content it has. Even if I am sick of Nintendo constantly peddling games with their stupid characters like Mario in.

It occurs to me that Nintendo are the only big three that have managed to successfully maintain two popular platforms at once, because they enforce a division between them. Their handheld consoles are always very different to their home consoles, mainly in terms of graphical capability but in terms of control input as well. Sony's handhelds were just treated like portable versions of the home console, such that all of the best PSP games ended up on PS2/3, and the PSV isn't getting many exclusives (except the countless japanese exclusives for it), meaning there wasn't much reason to get either one. And a lot of good Xbox games seem to end up on PC, which Microsoft still benefits from. I cannot think of any widely known Xbox-exclusive franchises other than Halo, so I can see why they stopped releasing it on PC after Halo 2.

I think you may have confused her a lot by behaving in a flirty manner, you say it's just your normal personality and you do that to everyone but that probably wasn't clear to her. She may have thought you fancied her and was trying to quell your interest, or maybe she liked you and was jealous when you talked about other girls. Give her time and see if she calms down enough to talk to you and ask her what it is that you did, don't try and prod her to start talking to you and don't try and guess what it is because you'll just piss her off more if you're wrong. If, after a while, she's still not talking to you then you'll probably have to draw a line under that as a failed friendship and move in.

If you're unhappy with being moderated on GameFAQs then the best thing to do is contact their mods directly rather than complain about it here (I'm pretty sure you're still allowed to use another account on gamefaqs when you're banned unlike on GS).

Thread locked but you won't get banned for 15 days so there is that.

Came here to say big bazinga theory but it looks like nobody else likes it either

I thought DS9 was great. If it did more or less what the other star trek series did then it might as well have not bothered existing. Having a consistent story arc throughout and exploring the grittier side of war and politics gave a better insight into the star trek universe and a more relatable picture of the future. Gene Roddenberry's vision may have been utopian but I highly doubt humanity will ever completely shed the traits shown in DS9 that some star trek fans disapproved of.
