So I just went to see Oldboy last night...and it sucked. Seriously, it might have some good artistic scene with a lot of colors but the movie in general felt so lackluster comparing to its Korean predecessor.

So instead of talking about plot of the movie on our way home or how bad it was, my friend and I were talking about philosophical lessons you could learn from gaming. My favorite one would be "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Seriously, after 100 hours in Skyrim you are strong enough to slaughter a whole village, massacre every killable person in Whiterun...Why you do it? Because you can and there are no more necessary evil left for you to find and destroy. Eventually, you become evil...not a bad thing actually, a heel turn is never a bad thing!

So, what's yours? What did you learn from playing video game? Is it drinking toilet water can replenish your health albeit the radiation or small guys with spiky hair can wield the heaviest swords in the world?

Oh, there are some hidden giveaways too. I am going to giveaway about 2 games!

The 1st game is about raising creatures from the mythical world. quiz #1

The 2nd game is about a feud between 2 forces of nature that can be said to begin as early as 1940, when William Hanna and Joseph Barbera still ruled the world or at least a part of it. quiz #2

As always, no leaking.

Can't say i've ever taken any thoughtful lessons from games. I play games for fun, not an intervention. Also i've never seen Oldboy, sounds like a film about an old yorkshire farmer to be honest.

Do not hate the movie before you go to see it. I actually enjoy Josh Brolin's performance in general..but I can't say the same about the rest of the cast.

bump for mostly solved! (and also not particularly caring for unnecessary Hollywood remakes -- Girl with the Dragon Tattoo being a standout for me there -- (almost) nothing wrong with the remade version, but it was just so completely unnecessary versus the original)

[edit] and fully solved! [/edit]

oh trust me it ain't that hard. think of trolling games on Steam...that's a pretty big hint

for those who are solving number 3, the game ain't a trolling one at all, it's a decent game that's underrated and has not ever been in a bundle before, so do not give up if you think it's fortix or sth similar ;)

Bump, a lot of people have solved the first two puzzles and 3 have solved the last one. To boost up morale, the 3rd game is Rogue Trooper a really underrated game.
