Journos and other casuals seem to have trouble understanding or conveying why some games are considered fun, so I've come up with the following exercise:
Write down a memorable moment or experience everyone should try out at least once in a game. It doesn't matter how shit the game is, as long as you think that one moment redeems the entire game, write about it.
STALKER: SoC - Meet a Controller for the first time Marathon Infinity - getting hopelessly lost in Aye Mak Sicur as you try to make any remote sense of the plot for the last time Fallout 1 - caving in the entrance to the Scorpion Cave with dynamite Max Payne 3 - airport shootout G-Darius - Getting a fucking fourfold beam counter
Ryder Campbell

Charles Nguyen
Devil May Cry 3 - obtaining SSS rank at least once Deus Ex - going in the women's bathroom
Tyler Harris
PSO2 - Huge ass bug boss dropping on me outta nowhere and raping my ass in what I assumed was a tutorial area where I can't possibly lose.
Henry Torres

Skies of Arcadia - Creating your own pirate crew with your very own island.
That shit was magical for me, it really felt like all the adventure and going around the world really paid off, meeting friends that would join my crew and see how it would go for a shitty small island to a small city with all kind of cool shit full of personality and great characters.
Other games have tried a lot of times to do the same (like Assassin's creed with your own group of assassin's and shit), but it's simply not the same. Here every character you recruit has their own design, they have their own quests, personalities, quirks… Going around the world then coming back to the island and see how it would develop and expand. Man that was amazing.

I know what you guys will say:
But I wanted to try it, and it wasn't that horrid now in retrospect to what was WOD.
Anyways, I always made sure to level all my characters in the beach of Twilight Highlands where you take a vantage point and it was a nice PvP spot back during launch days.
I miss shooting the shit with a few fellow battered housewives during early pvp days.

People who post minus8 are newfags in denial.
Logan Cox
Off topic, but I am astounded as to how fucking -8 got worse with the years.
Alexander Rivera
-8 has caught the autism or something, but he still drops a solid flash every once in a while

EYE - pretty much anything having to do with the damocles. The delicious BRRRT of the HS10, especially when combined with the perfect aim implant. Risk of Rain - rolling the levels multiple times just to murder even more shit.
Leo Cooper
he's gone pretty much turned into a self-hating lunatic if you look at his tumblr, which is most likely a side-effect of being a porn artist in the SJW dystopia that is Worst Korea
Henry Wilson
what tumblr?
James Thomas
Helping people by killing terrorists that blockaded a railroad tunnel and getting rich in the process because I bought the railroad company's stocks dirty cheap beforehand.
Juan King
Gothic - Returning to the Old Camp as an absolute badass
oh right, I forgot, he deleted it
Jordan Jones
Why the fuck does that gif has a dithering pattern when there is no shading for it whatsoever
Isaac Sanchez
Going in the womens bathroom in ME2.
Brandon Myers
because it's cool to lazily place a dithering pattern over your image.
Matthew Jackson
Because the person who made it doesn't know how to convert gif files properly.
