Can we play the false dichotomy game?
Wikipedia defines a false dichotomy as "a situation in which only two alternatives are considered, when in fact there are other options". How it works is a little bit like this: the first poster poses a question. The second poster answers the question by picking one of the options, and then that same poster poses another question. Every subsequent poster, then, answers the question and poses their own question, and the chain goes on. Obviously, the question is illogical. "Final Fantasy II or Final Fantasy X", for example, is false, because there's about twenty other Final Fantasy games we could choose from. That's why it's a false dichotomy.
I know I don't know as much about video games as I'd like to know. I'm not talking about an encyclopedic knowledge or anything, because, you know, I'd rather reserve parts of my brain for other things. However, there are plenty of games (or indeed things in games) that I don't know about; games that I'd probably enjoy, but I just haven't heard of. Quests are awesome for that, and maybe this will be too.
I'mma go first, yo. I'll lob a softball up there, but obviously it'll be cool if it goes into rarer areas of gaming so we can all learn more.
