My parents don't trust PayPal either, and while they don't refuse to pay via the internet, they really hate doing it.</body>

&lt;p&gt;Also, can you tell us what sort of limitations there are on medals? (For example, is a &#8220;Get every badge quest&#8221; possible, or would the high number of badges and need to update the badge criteria every few days cause a problem.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I definitely do not want to do a quest for getting every badge on the site. There are just too many issues with that. Sorry guys.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Here's a suggestion:

Maybe do a quest per genre on the site? ie: Shooting Quest: Obtain these (ten, maybe?) badges from some of the best shooting games on Kongregate!
[list of ten shooting game badges]

No, you have to buy the $150 one. I really think this option is absurd. Paying an extra $90 just for a pair of (I've heard, Civilian quality, AKA crappy) night-vision goggles?

    <body>Follow everything listed on &quot;this&quot;:http://www.halo3planet.com/halo-3-skull-locations/iwhbyd-skull/ site, and see if that helps any. That's the guide I used. 

Also, you know the rings are counted from the 'safe' end of the hallway to the scene where the Prophet is, right? (I don't remember much, this was ages ago...)</body>

    <body>No. Please no map editor. Maybe on PC, where a sophisticated map making tool can actually work, but please no on consoles. Halo 3 has showed why Map Editors fail on consoles. (Alright, it was a major selling point to most people, but I know quite a few people who think Forge is underpowered and not great at making maps, but good at &quot;rearranging scenery&quot;. [Which is what I think it's main use is: Staging screenshots. Not creating playing arenas.])</body>

    <body>::sigh::

Alien, I understand where you are coming from. 

However, I don't hate microtransactions. I think they are good. They help fund your favorite developer. 

Okay, look at it from this perspective: Do you whine about the developer tip jar Kongregate has underneath every game? No? Then why whine about another way to give money to your developer, that actually gives you something in return instead of just a &quot;thanks!&quot;? I totally see where you are coming from and agree with you: If it's a multiplayer game. Players with 'deep pockets' shouldn't be able to beat out the players with true 'skill', as you put it. I agree with that. However, on a single player game like BTD4, it doesn't really matter. You aren't competing against other players, but rather competing against the game itself. And if you're shooting for highscores (which doesn't matter, they will be full of hackers the day after it releases anyway, like every other game), I would hope/assume Ninjakiwi would put in separate leaderboards for the paid content and free content.

Another perspective: Do you whine about DLC in games? Most people don't. (Unless you are part of the campaign against DLC, which I find absurd; Game developers should be able to further develop their titles without releasing sequels. Keep in mind no DLC is required in _any_ game. They don't lock you out of playing Halo or Gears of War 2 until you purchase the latest map pack, do they?)

Also, as one last point:

bq. yes but its a problem when you cant beat the final levels unless you buy the ____ micro transactions!!!

Name one Flash game for me that has that issue. Normally flash microtransactions contain additional levels, not weapons to use on those levels. Only multiplayer games do that (which I hate, as stated above. Unless they have separate multiplayer lobbies for those with and without paid content). So go ahead. Name one Flash game that you can't beat the last (free) level unless you buy the paid content.</body>

    <body>Ah, more incentive to play this game.

All I've heard is positive feedback about this game, some even calling it &quot;The best RPG ever made&quot;. I keep making a note to pick it up for the DS (Oh how I wish I had a SNES...), but I just don't have the money, and when I do get the money, I blow it on this-gen games. &gt;_&lt;</body>

    <body>Yeah, they started off with more zombies than survivors, so it's only natural that it will stay that way throughout the duration of the event. 

Plus, have you ever seen a (good) Zombie game/movie where there are more survivors than zombies? ;)</body>

Believe me, if I could get a job, I would. I'm fourteen, which is too young to work, though. My parents also don't want me getting a job during school (even when I'm old enough) because it will 'mess with my studies'. =|</body>

    <body>Gah, being a teenage gamer sucks if you have no money in the middle of a great game outbreak. XS

Anyway, I'll keep this short and sweet: What would you guys say I should get, Borderlands or Forza 3? I have never really liked Racing games, but I see Forza 3 as a way to give them a chance, (I haven't played more than a few hours of racing games, total) and the community of my favorite podcast is going to be _very_ into it, so I can see that as a plus.

As for borderlands, I like FPSs, and the whole game looks awesome to me. I could see myself replaying this several times, but from what I've heard about Forza 2, I could be spending quite some time on Forza 3 as well. Keep in mind I have a (fairly) small SDTV, so graphics aren't as big an issue for me as others. :/

Basically it all comes down to: Which one do you think would last me longer? I know Forza 3 isn't out yet, but I'm sure a few of you have tried Forza 2, right?

Help plox? (Please, no &quot;BUY FOR PC NOOB&quot;, my PC is nowhere near gaming quality and I don't have the cash right now to upgrade.)

*EDIT:* Also, forgot to mention: It's worth noting that Destructoid (who's slogan is &quot;Brutally honest game reviews&quot; gave Forza 3 a perfect 10/10. And also worth mentioning is the fact that I _hated_ Fallout 3. _Loathed_ it. So if Borderlands is anything like Fallout, I'm passing for sure. :/</body>

Also, as Darkruler said, I sincerely hope this isn't a joke. If this is a joke or lie, then you are a very sick person, in the worst way possible.</body>

    <body>Oh, of course! If a video game genre is popular, even on a small scale such as Flash, don't you think that console game-producing companies will take advantage and sell one?

A couple I can think of (Both available on XBLA) are Defense Grid (Looks GREAT and is available on PC and XBLA) and &quot;South Park Tower Let's Go Tower Defense Play!&quot;. Those are just a couple I remember from recent releases; I'm sure there are plenty more, but I doubt there are any in disc format, though.</body>
