I went to see Skyfall yesterday and there was a father and son behind me talking pretty loudly throughout the first twenty minutes of the movie. "What's MI6?" "MI6 is like the British version of the CIA." "Wow look at that gun." "Yeah, that's an S50 blah blah blah." "Oh no, is James Bond going to be okay!"

I had it, I couldn't enjoy the movie with these obnoxious people behind me. I had already turned around and gave them a look to shut up a couple times, but they continued talking away like they were in their god damn living room, crumbling their popcorn bag, just generally being shitty people.

"Are you going to talk throughout the entire movie" I asked. "Yeah we are, I guess you'll have to move your seat" he replied to me in his heavy Staten Island accent. "No, you better fucking stop talking. You better shut the fuck up." I was so flustered, you could hear it in my voice. I didn't even mean to curse. It just kind of came out. He replied with two words, "Jerk Off", in that fucking accent. I was infuriated. It scared me how angry I was. I wanted to wait until the film was over and hit him. I was boiling, practically shaking...but then I realized something. They both stopped talking. They didn't say one damn word the entire rest of the film.

So, now I'm trying to figure out, did I handle this the right way? I mean I cursed in front of a kid, so that's not optimal I guess. I'd like the hear what you have to say.

I get nervous asking girls out, even if I think they may like me. I feel like such a pussy. (I'm 19 by the way.) Does anyone else have this problem? How do you deal with this? ps- I know this is a video game forum, please don't mock me for posting this.

I'm a sophomore in college and although a good portion of my friends are games enthusiast, I just can't get excited about video games anymore. I really try to, but I just can't lose myself in a game like I could in high school. I always start to feel when I'm playing that my time could be better spent doing something else. This realization came to me when I decided to cancel my Skyrim pre-order on Amazon. Part of me really wants to get that game because of my fond memories of Oblivion, but another part of me knows that it will probably end up never getting played.

Maybe I feel this way because of how busy I currently am with school and work, but I think I might be generally losing interest. My real passion is tech, I'm a Computer Science major. I'm thinking I'll sell my consoles so I can buy an Android tablet. I probably wont be posting here very often once that happens, so I just want to say that it's been rad. I love this community and I've conversed with some awesome people over the years on this site. Farewell my friends.

I find it so annoying when people refer to themselves as geeks or gamers. I probably fit under both of those categories, but I just think it's stupid to label yourself. The word gamer isn't used as much under the gaming enthusiast community as the word geek is used under the tech enthusiast community, but it's still used somewhat. How do you guys feel about people referring to themselves with these words?

I live in New Jersey and although luckily none of my property was damaged during Hurricane Irene, I still have no electricity at my house. I'm writing this at the public library where I've been spending a lot of my time at. Living without power is pretty dreadful, especially at night. I've been doing a lot of reading with a flashlight when it gets dark to pass time. Luckily, I have a gas stove so I'm able to cook food and boil water.

I've come to the conclusion that the reason I don't have power is because a tree fell on the power line down the street from my house. The township has removed the tree, but the power company hasn't even started working on fixing the power line. I understand that they're overwhelmed, but it makes it even more frustrating knowing that the power company isn't even working on fixing the issue. I guess they have nothing to worry about though. It's not like they're going to lose customers or anything. Everyone needs electricity and it isn't like you can change your power company.

Anyway, I hope those who have experienced damage from the hurricane are okay. While what I'm experiencing is annoying, it is in no way devastating and in many ways I feel fortunate.

My Whiskey Media paid membership is about to be up for renewal and I've decided to not renew. I'm taking a lot of classes this semester and the store I worked at part time recently closed down so I don't have very much money these days. It was a really tough decision because I really want to support awesome stuff on the internet when I can and Whiskey Media is indeed awesome, but it was a tough decision that had to be made.

When Xbox 360 was about to be released I couldn't be more excited. J Allard could literrally sell me on anything and I played a lot of original Xbox considering I got it at launch and never had a PS2. 360 turned out to be a great platform with a variety of games. Even though Allard left the platform still continued to grow, but then it took a turn.

Microsoft noticed how interested casual gamers were in Wii and they wanted to go after that market. They destroyed the once beautiful dashboard with the NXE that feels awkward to navigate and has tons of ads. They replaced gamer cards with these rediculous avatars that they can easily sell items for. They've forced all of their stupid fucking services into the experience like Bing and Zune. If I want to search something on the Dashboard when the new update comes out with my Kinect I actually have to say "Bing" before I say the word I'm searching for, why can't I just say search Microsoft?

I was watching their E3 press conference live and literally fell asleep. I woke up right before they announced Halo 4 and I wasn't even excited. MS sells Halo the same way they sell Office, with small iterations every three years. The Kinect stuff was pretty ridiculous, those demos was absolutely dreadful to watch.

Never trust Microsoft with a product you like, Steve Jobs was right, "they have no taste". Take at a look at what they did to the Rare site.

I've worked at a restaurant for the better part of two years. The hours were flexible, which allowed me to have enough time for college and still make some cash. I went into work yesterday to find out there closing the restaurant down for good two days from now. I'm pretty upset considering half of the people that worked there were good friends of mine from high school. I applied for a job a Game Stop today and it looks like my chances of getting hired are relatively good, but I can't help feeling a little bitter sweet about the whole situation.

Have you ever gotten laid off? Have you ever gotten fired? How did you handle it?

When I was younger I had a Xbox and Gamecube, but never a PS2. I missed out on so many great games and I wanted one so badly. Relatively recently I bought a PS2 from my friend and I'm starting to go through old games that I missed out on like Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts. What recommendations do you have?

Also, I have a PS3. Should I wait to play games like Shadow of the Colossus until they are remastered?
