If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could ever imagine.

If these controls are so ingrained on us, why force us to play through an hour of tutorials(which sometimes include massive amounts of text which constantly break up gameplay) so often?

No, because I don't play kids' games.

Well why don't you enlighten us? I've never thought about it before, but now I can't help but wonder what the stuff tastes like.

One time the Alliance attacked the zeppelin between Orgrimmar and the Undercity. It was one of the funnest moments of that game. Every time the zeppelin would travel between the two zones, everyone who had died was restored to full health. I was a priest, so my job was to cast my fear bomb and try to mind control jump people off the blimp(preferably into deep water), because that was the only way to get rid of them. It was a constant, vicious melee.

This was all pre-burning crusade. If only there was a way to go back to the old days. Too bad my old crew had so much drama that they had to all transfer to different servers.

It will prepare me for yesterday's exam tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turns out last week.

Not all of us drive fancy space cars like Flash Rogers over here.

Eventually...

Because there are some that are more adventurous than others, and the question of "Why?" becomes "Why not?"

Who is the half-blood prince?

Or the old Carmageddon series. Forget the race, smash the other cars! Your car get too smashed up and you can't even drive in a straight line. There were no weapons either, just good, old-fashioned cars killing cars with their bare tires; the way it ought to be.

Ah, Freespace 2. I wonder if the guys who planned the viper dogfights in the new Battlestar Galactica ever played this game. They used that awesome maneuver where you get up to speed, then cut the engines, flip the fighter around, and fly backwards while shooting bogeys. I did that a million times in that game, because it just made so much sense, yet most games that came since made your ship slow down when you turned off your accelerator in the(not so) frictionless outer space.

I'm surprised there haven't been any 3D space shooters for the recent consoles. Those double joystick controllers, along with a large view screen would be perfect for piloting a sleek space rocket in three dimensions.

Why can't they just make more Starfleet Command games? Forget the third dimention of outer space for a second. Yeah, it might have well been old earth sailing vessels, but those games did a good job of simulating battles between heavy-hitting space cruisers at a reasonable pace. The only problem was the incredibly boring and repetitive missions in the single player.

I especially enjoyed the 3rd game in the series for bringing it up to the more recent era of Trek and adding in customizable ships.
