Glad to hear you are getting closer.

Yeah, the Corporate Sector is essentially a boring police force on the outer rim. They don't make for good stories, that is why they are kept at mentions generally.

If you want Doomguy getting gangbanged by pterodactyls, there is either porn of it already or at the least someone with that fetish. Makes you really wonder how humans got so warped that someone, somewhere, can get off on floor tiles.

That is what I am saying, I was talking about the computer he was using during the development of Quake 1.

Heh, I don't miss the days of CRTs. Reflections off the monitors in dark areas is just not great. Neither is the tremendous amount of heat when you put a blanket over it. It did make a great place for one of the cats to sleep, they liked the warmth, and it cut down on heating bills possibly. Refresh rates, as I said, are something I never really understood the craze for even with a 144hz monitor. I will throw it on there just because I can, but it isn't something I think about when playing a game that entirely limits your refresh rate. I guess it is good as all of it means I can leave v-sync off (due to g-sync), though I don't recall ever running into a need to use that option either. There are 165hz monitors out now, I just don't have much motivation to jump up since it functions exactly the same as the one I have.

Really, a lot depends on the genre for me. I tend to save-scum a lot, still do in games I don't care too much for and want to get through. For games I enjoy such as Thief or Quake, I don't mind the extra challenge and it makes things a lot more interesting. For every naysayer saying Quake is easy, it gets rougher with shotgun starting in iron mode (then again, I didn't have much choice, since Quake 1.06 has saving issues, so it worked out that I liked this challenge).

Amaranthe is just torture on so many levels. Take one element and it isn't too offensive, if just generic and from a bad genre. Put it all together, it feels like it was perfectly tailored to be something I dislike. SOAD was great at making catchy tunes, but his voice is grating and the songs quickly turn from catchy to repetitive. It always felt like the poor man's NIN.
