what is the one thing in the gaming world that would make you just beyond happy? something that would make you have a "nerdgasm". something that would make you "Jizz your pants" just from finding out its true? something so amazing that it would make you go into rocky mode where you can only focus on the joyessness of witnessing the event or game or whatever. (get what im saying)
this doesn't have to be a game but just anything game related

Adrian for Southern California; aged_milk in chat.

With the slumped global economy, many companies are going under or being bought out. This, inadvertently, may have a positive upside if the new owners decide to try reviving old IPs.

My question for you guys is, which old IPs would you be most excited to see make a new advent into the current generation market?

And which prospect for the IP would you be more excited with? A direct sequel, a remake with only minor alterations to meet current gen hype, or a revision of the original(going back to the foundations of the game and building on it's general focus)?

Alzaim from Vancouver, Canada: Lopur94 in chat...

What was the most strangest or weirdest weapon that you have ever encountered in a game? Anything that you could pick up and hurt someone with, that you thought was the strangest weapon you found.


Do you think popular IPs like Killzone, Call of Duty, Gears of War etc. would ever become forgotten in the future? Or would they continue to get sequels or spin offs for as long a there are games?

Would you rather have arcade games like N+, Braid, Watchmen to be short, cheap and downloadable or long, expensive and retail?

Which upcoming game with no release date, that has hardly any information or revealing gameplay videos or trailers, would you like to know about? A few are MAG, Mass Effect 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Max Payne 3, Uncharted 2, Dead Rising 2, Lost Planet 2, Portal 2, Timesplitters 3, Wet and many more.

What is the oldest gaming memory you can think of?

not sure if it's been asked before in the viewer questions, i looked. =/

[izekiarage]

Isaac (Izekialrage in chat) from Pittsburgh, PA

The Zelda series has been one of my most favorite series of all time and some of my most cherished gaming memories come from some of the older games such as OOT LTTP and Majora's Mask.

But at this time it seems as though nintendo just doesn't have the passion for the games as they used too. Yea Wind Waker was a nice change and Twilight Princess was okay. It's certainly not the same as before, especially with that uninteresting trailer for the newest one on the DS.

So essentially my question is, What do you think about the direction of The legend of Zelda franchise and what they are doing with it.

[seisan]

I had recently posted a thread on the forums that simply asked: "What final boss fight dissapointed you?" and I discovered something. Almost all of the bosses listed were titles from this generation of games. So, I ask, do you think that final boss fights have degraded over the years? I might as well ask you guys this as well; what final boss fight dissapointed you?

Would Nick want Vodka? jk O.o

If you could somehow meet a videogame character, and hang-out with that character for a day which character would it be?

Matt (Twistamafoo in chat) from Chicago, IL

How do you feel about the fact that more and more games are having some sort of online multiplayer mode in them? People are now expecting almost every game to have it. Bioshock, which is a story-driven game, will now have a sequel with a multiplayer mode. Sure, that will probably be a bit of fun. But now that means there won't be as much a focus on the single player portion as the first game. Basically, my question is whether or not you think games with a primary focus on the single player portion should even bother adding multiplayer to it? (F.E.A.R. 1, 2 and Condemned 2 are some examples of games where the multiplayer was unnecessary, and more time should've been spent further improving the single player)

[xerotwo]

Drew from Kentucky (Xerotwo on JTV)

What kind of gameplay feature would you guys pick and why? Features like slow-mode, double jump, or the ability to scan the enemy's weakness are some examples.
