I don't own any Nintendo consoles, so that rules out any Nintendo game for me.

I still have to play the other two. Overall it seems to be a list I can get behind though.

The basic idea is good, but don't forget that if you keep splitting your categories (or creating sub-categories), you'll eventually end up with so many categories that it'll still be cluttered and hard to browse.

And yet I'm having the time of my life with it! When will people learn that not everyone (should) think the same?

You mean to tell me that people don't all love the same things I do? Blasphemy!

Out of those games Starfox is the only one I've played, and I agree that there should be a new Starfox game. Not a remake (although that could be cool too), but a genuine sequel/new installment.

@TheKeyboardDemon: Speaking of those GB sessions, isn't there a new group that was supposed to replace the Battlefield 3 group on Steam?

Speaking of Bombing Runs, I would love to get in on one, but I don't yet have Return to Karkland, and I'm in Europe. From what I've seen the UK server doesn't get much love.

@GS_Dan: See my response to TheKeyBoardDemon :P

@Lanegan: I have no doubt that it's a lot better with a friend. Don't have any friends who play PC games though.

@vonFlampanker: I think I've had that happen to me once. Can't remember the map name, but it's the one with the mining and large tunnel. The opposite team was completely waltzing over us because they worked together, and no matter what I said, our team just kept running around like chickens with their heads cut off. So that's when I said screw this and quit the game.

@Masha2932: Would you believe that I've never done either despite gaming a good 10+ years now?

@Mikemcn: If I see one more "auto balancing teams" message I am going to punch someone in the face.

@Grissefar: To each his own I guess. And I can certainly understand your sentiments. We both want different things out of the same game. It's just a shame that it doesn't seem to cater to either playstyle as well as we'd like.

@Moreau_MD: I was going to post something insulting in response, but I think I'll be the better man in this case and admit that my reaction was a tad too extreme.

@ashkanhoss29: Technically I am an outsider (not from the US), but I see what you mean. I was simply angry at reading about yet another innocent person being sentenced to death. You could say it was the proverbial straw.

To the OP: Your country is quite beautiful. I hope that someday everyone there can be given the peace they deserve to truly enjoy it all.

I'm still loving Battlefield 3. Like most the campaign hasn't really been of much interest to me, but the multiplayer more than makes up for the underwhelming single player, which is saying a lot coming from a guy who tends to avoid most multiplayer experiences.

The one gripe I have with the game is that, like so many other first person shooters, there is still very little team play to be seen. While there are exceptions to the rule, for the most part everyone appears to be out for themselves. While Battlefield 3 certainly does its best to incentivize people working together, few seem to actually pay these things any heed, with the exception of throwing out med- and ammo packs.

Now, in the spirit of full disclosure, I'm playing the recon class, focusing on sniping people from a distance, so I don't run with groups that much. But even as the definitive lonewolf I try to help my team out by spotting and using my soflam. Speaking of spotting, it varies wildly from server to server whether you're playing with people who will actually take the effort to hit that Q button. It's a real shame that people can't extend one finger more often to hit that button because it'd make life for everyone in the team so much easier.

Now, my real gripe isn't with those small (but important) things, but with the utter lack of people working as a cohesive unit. Everyone just runs or drives in blindly, not even taking the moment to wait for someone to man the gun on their jeep, helicopter or tank. They rush in, die, and repeat the exact same process all over again.

One of the maps where this is very evident is Metro. That area near the escalators nearly always ends up playing out like a tug-of-war scenario. There is rarely a clear victor in those matches. Now, I realize that that particular map is nothing but choke points, making it very difficult for any team to assert dominance over the match, but I am convinced that if people took the time to strategize, to employ tactics more sophisticated than simply chucking grenades and running around, shooting like a madman, they could score a decisive victory.

What this game needs, most of all, is leadership. One or two people on a team who have a good overview of the map and the match, and who are able to guide other people on their team to victory. The problem there is, who is going to take advise from some random Joe on the internet about how they should play? I'm fairly certain that even the very best tactician would go largely ignored, no matter how sound their strategy might be. Unless it involves a serious clan, people simply do not like to be told what to do, even if the person telling them is right. Maybe we are just too proud to accept that what we're doing isn't working. Too proud to admit that someone else might know better.

It's a shame, too, because I guarantee that we'd all feel a hell of a lot more proud if we devestated the other team through superior teamwork.

Duders, please read the OP's replies in this thread before posting more.

He has already acknowledged that his original statement was irrational and simply an emotional response to something he saw as unjust. We all say stupid things sometimes, and this was clearly one of those times for him. We really don't need to pile on and prolong the life of this thread. I'm not saying OP is right or even a great guy, but from what I've read, no one here is seriously arguing that Iran should be invaded. It's simply aggravation regarding current events expressed in a poor way.

That pretty much sums it up.

Also, I am a fantastic guy :P

Seriously... I can't wrap my head around the thought process of those people.

You can't wrap your head around the idea of a thought process.

Well alright then, Mr. genius! How about you provide me with the logic behind sentencing the man to death? I mean with such a witty remark, surely you are capable of providing me with an argument that defends the act of killing a man over such pity a reason.

Unless, of course, that remark is the limit of your intelligence.

Wait so your solution to stopping a man being sentenced to death is to invade a country leading to hundreds of thousands of people being killed and the country and region maybe rendered permanently unstable? I'd take another five minutes to think about this before you start the carpet bombing.

No that is not my solution. It was merely an extreme expression of my anger at the injustice. You know, kind of like the extreme reaction that involves killing an innocent human being.
