Where are you when you mylot?

palonghorn @palonghorn (5479) • United States 17 Feb 11

All of us have different daily routines. I usually like to go through mylot discussions in the morning while I'm having coffee, checking my emails, etc. I do it again in the late evening when I'm just relaxing on the couch with my...

Arkadus Home, I don't have the benefit of owning a laptop, though that'll be next "big" purchase as my desktops kind of a dinosaur. That and I don't really frequent anywhere that I'd be comfortable spending the kind of time that occurs whenI sit down at a computer...

The Dresden Files

Arkadus @Arkadus (895) • Canada 23 Mar 08

I got into the whole book series because of the tv show from a while back. Really up my ally, the storylines are interesting and there's enough snarky smart-alecy and sarcastic humour in it that well heck I identify with Harry...

zahir_dk @zahir_dk (1693) • India 30 Oct 10

Mother killed baby for interrupting FarmVille. How insane is this news... Guys why are we so influenced with all this non-sense games... We dont even care about our family when we are involved playing it? THIS IS JUST...

Arkadus Nah, I was just pointing out that scenarios like that are pretty far fetched. As far as 'video games kill' goes. Most deaths that can be "blamed" on video games are ones like this. Things like the "Halo killer" are just crazy people who happened to own a copy...

The Future Book

creyos @creyos (275) • Indonesia 1 Nov 10

Do you think all the books, magazines, etc that made by paper, nowadays will change to electronic readings? Meaning is there will be no bookstore anymore, or if have, there will be an electronic bookstore?

3 responses

Arkadus I think that book stores will be around for a good long while yet. Ebooks aren't very plausible now, even the best reader devices are still clunky and difficult to read for a good number of people. Then there's the section of people who like to actually have a...

What is the Ultimate Instant Messenger?

freymind @freymind (1351) • Philippines 1 Nov 10

I'm using Trillian Astra Instant Messenger right now and it really blew me away. It's better than Pidgin or even Palringo. Heck I can't even relate them to each other. This is my first time using it but its so...

Arkadus I use something called Ventrilo, which is a sort of hybrid between Skype and IRC or other text based clients. There's a voice aspect to it, but it also allows communication via text. There's also a text to speech option. Though to be fair, Skype also allows...

Arkadus I see games like a good book, I'm there for the story and the characters and sometimes even the game play. I'm not playing to flaunt my "e-peen" by proving how I can utterly crushing other people's characters. Unless it's a strictly enforced RP only MMO then...

What's the best Resident Evil game in the series?

Kleppes @Xygatrix (103) • United States 5 Jul 10

I've had some extra money lying around so I figured I would pick up a copy of this game. I've always been a big fan of survival horror games, but I've never played Resident Evil so I think I'm going to end up buying whatever one...

Arkadus I'd go with 3 as I liked the characters in that one a good deal more than the others four and I've not played more than the demo of 5. 2 would be a close second though as it's also got good characters and it was the first one I played and beat, fully. Still,...

Does anyone else find auto-saving games annoying?

Freelancepreneur @LouieWpHs04 (4555) • United States 30 Aug 10

So although i haven't really been playing very many games lately the ones I have been playing on occasion do "auto-saving" and i'm not talking online games. I am talking offline games too. Sometimes i just like goofing off here...

Arkadus I don't mind it as long as it doesn't interrupt whatever I'm doing... like Dragon Age tends to. You're running along enjoying yourself and then bam! wait while we start autosaving then you can go back to what you were doing. It's not a huge deal though, most...

The lack of interest put into games...

Keuthonymos @Keuthonymos (26) • Canada 30 Aug 10

People making games now-a-days don't seem to put half as much effort into the games as they used to... It used to have to involve skill and make you think to be entertaining, but now it just requires good graphics and the ability...

Arkadus Dark Cloud 2 was great, they cut the party down to two people, but they added more weapons, let you play with the characters outfits, and added what amounts to a minigolf mini-game. They did fiddle with the town building aspect just enough to make you *have*...

Is kratos the baddest hero in the virtual world?

faraz546 @faraz546 (13) • India 3 Oct 10

hi friends,do you think that kratos in god of war series is the baddest hero in the virtual world?

god of war 3

Arkadus I wouldn't say so, only because from what I've played he doesn't exactly qualify as a "hero." He's the main character sure, and a 'champion' for the gods... but he's no more a hero than the main character in Grand Theft Auto. So... in that respect he's perhaps...

Do you get tired of noises?

Aphroditei_5279 @Aphroditei_5279 (2465) • Philippines 8 Jun 10

Do you get tired of hearing too much talking? I am a very patient person. But, sometimes, I am so tired, of hearing talking, conversations, questions and answers, et... I don't mind the television or music. But when it comes to...

Arkadus This is not new in the news. Whilst things like "Grand Theft Auto made me confuse reality with imagination and eventually murder five people" are outright ridiculous... Stuff like this has been going on for a while. I can think of at least two articles off...

Who likes hardcore music?

katieegr @katieegr (1) • Australia 1 Nov 10

I've found that alot of people think that the screaming is annoying and isn't a type of music. Although I like the sound of it, I was just wondering what everyone else thought?

Arkadus I don't mind it so much. Not that I listen to a whole lot of it. At least not the sub-genre of punk called "Hardcore" since there's a sub genre of electronic music also called Hardcore, which is also good. Really though as long as the musics good the vocals...

Arkadus Not so abnormal, I was in the hospital once and they tried to take blood from my arm, but the nurse must have been a trainee because she couldn't find the vein in either arm. To my dismay she then tried to find it on my wrists. I suppose that I should mention...

Arkadus I've played one match, but I'm soon going to be buying a set or two, even if the only people I'll be able to play with, probably, are ones I bully into playing with me. :p

Arkadus Probably because back int he day, a remote might have acted like the batteries were dead, but in fact the button was just missing the spot it's supposed to hit on the circuit board int he remote. For one of umpteen million reasons. It's the same reason people...
