*[[Team Fortress 2]]'s constant updates: Look, I understand you might not like the ton of hats or think a weapon is unbalanced, but these are updates, dammit, and I like having new things in my 4-year-old game, so don't ruin it for the rest of us by bitching about it to Valve.
**Pyro is not overpowered. Far from it, as out in the open he can be killed by almost every class before he can even touch his opponent with his flamethrower. Where he ''is'' good is at ambushing, so don't complain about balance issues just because you don't look around corners.

Now, if you want to talk videogames, I really like [=RPG=]s, especially more free ones like Dragon Age, Oblivion, Planescape, and New Vegas, while I dislike most JRPGs. I like some shooters, like Half-Life, Deus Ex, Bioshock, and Crysis. It shouldn't surprise you that I am a PC gamer only. I also love Valve while having never bought or played a Blizzard game. So would you like to know my stances on various videogame controversies? It's mainly just me talking about sequels, or underrated games.

game. So would you like to know my stances on various videogame controversies? It's mainly just me talking about sequels, or underrated games.

*I liked AlphaProtocol and thought it was a pretty good game. Sure, the combat was a bit easy and there ''were'' bugs, but I'd say it's basically Mass Effect 2 with the CIA.
*I think {{Bioshock 2}} is better than the first. Yes, the story was not as convincing or grand, but the gameplay itself was much more interesting, challenging, and all-around fun, and since this is a shooter... that's kind of a big deal.
*DeusExInvisibleWar wasn't "bad", it's just that it was trying to follow up DeusEx, one of, if not ''the'', greatest game of all time, so people were understandably disappointed by it simply being an average game.
*DragonAgeOrigins and its expansion pack are easily my favorite [=RPG=]s since KnightsOfTheOldRepublic and TheElderScrollsIVOblivion, so those of you who dislike it can suck it.
**{{Dragon Age 2}} felt less fun than the first. I wouldn't call it bad, more like average or slightly-above average. The combat interface was basically the same as the first, but it occasionally felt more fun when you met groups that you could steamroll due to the new actionized gameplay. However, the story in an RPG like this is a bit important, so just walking around looking for cash felt a bit strange. You would also think there's more than one cave. As for the graphics, while the game loads in 5 seconds compared to the first's ''fifty'', Zevran looked as if he stuck his face in a hornet's nest.
***And really, what was with the companion armor? I can't tell you how many robes of badassitude my Rogue found, only to not be able to have anyone equip it.
***The dialogue wheel also felt odd, because you never really knew for sure what some responses would be, even with the good/bad/[=LOL=] personality types.
*{{Mass Effect 2}} was also less fun than the first. It seemed like the whole story was "Shepard babysits a bunch of specialists and gets their personal lives in order, and he might have to save the universe or something along the way." But what really irked me was the combat, as it was so diminished it felt like a shooting gallery.
**Also, this isn't a negative, just an observation: Am I the only one who noticed that Bioware had some sort of paradigm shift with the language? I still remember being surprised when MassEffect didn't even let Udina say "bullshit" and cut his curse short, which surprised me when the sequel has everyone getting told to fuck off.

When it comes to stories, I prefer entertaining, exciting, funny or just plain [[StuffBlowingUp explosive]], rather than allegedly intellectual fare that tends to involve [[SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish people with English accents faffing about]]. I especially loathe works by WilliamShakespeare and other things intended for the theater (or as some would call it, "the theatre"). Not to say I'm a moron who only enjoys reality TV, as I dislike that sort of thing as well. Rather, I just like stuff that is good simply by being good, rather than pretentiousness. In, terms of genres, though, I like fantasy and science fiction the most.

About me? Well, I'm your typical American male, currently studying Electrical Engineering and using TVTropes to kill off what time I have to spare. As for my interests, I'm a gamer, I like to read, I enjoy motion pictures as well, and just to round everything out I'll watch some cartoons or anime if they appeal to me.
