Both of my feet and ankles are quite swelled. This started 2 days ago. I'm very slim (120 lbs) and eat a healthy diet. I'm not pregnant and I'm not a diabetic. Any ideas?

Mine would be:

Kefka (Final Fantasy VI)

Ganon/Ganandorf (Legend of Zelda series)

Lezard Valeth (Valkyrie Profile)

Can you think of some underrated or "under the radar" past-generation games? (By past-gen I mean the PS2/Xbox?GC era and earlier.) I'm looking to fill my collection with some older games I may have missed. I'll list a few gems to get this started.

1. Odin Sphere (PS2). This 2-D side-scrolling action RPG is beautiful, with 5 distinctly different characters with different fighting styles, and an epic storyline based of Norse mythology (it seems to closely follow Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung)). I think it was because it was released late in the PS2's life that it didn't get the recognition it deserved. It's gorgeous, fun, and unique, and I can't recommend it enough. :P

2. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. A truly unique survival horror game that spans the ages, with "insanity effects" that add a new level of creepiness to the atmosphere. Other than the fact it was a GC exclusive, I can't fathom how this game wasn't more popular. The graphics are a bit dated now, but it doesn't take away from this game's creepy charm.

3. Psychonauts - Wild, wacky, unique, quirky...this game has it all. An incredibly fun adventure/platformer by the amazing Tim Schafer, and since it was released on all 3 consoles (PS2, Xbox, GC) I have no clue by it's one of those "lost gems". If you haven't played it, do it.

I'm tired of writing long descriptions, but I'll throw Valkyrie Profile 2 (PS2) and Ico (PS2) in the mix as well.

Now it's your turn. I'd love to pick up some older games that I may have neglected in the past.

I'm just curious of some voice actors who have left an impression on you. I know I'll think of many others after I make this post, but at the moment:

Liam O'Brien - Lezard Valeth (Valkyrie Profile 2), Ingway (Odin Sphere), many others. O'Brien really brings it home as Lezard, he's simply amazing.

Gideon Emery - Balthier (FFXII), many others

John DiMaggio - I could make a mile long list, but my personal fave is Gilgamesh (FFXII).

Tara Strong - Another VA that I could make a mile long list, but Rikku (FFX and X-2) and Seth (Lost Odyssey) are my faves.

Jennifer Hale - And yet another with a huge list of accomplishments, but Samus (MP2), Alex (Eternal Darkness), and the female Commander Shepard top my list of her work.

Now it's your turn! List your faves.

I've been trying to make it out, and I know it says someone "is a dead man"? Has anyone been able to make this out? Thanks!

Just curious. I'll name a few:

1. The Colossus of Rhodes - God of War 2 (Such an epic battle, and right at the beginning of the game!)

2. Psycho Mantis - Metal Gear Solid (When PM read some of the games I'd played on my memory card, I think my heart stopped for a second.)

3. Mike Tyson - Mike Tyson's Punch-Out (I was only able to beat him ONCE, and I played this game a lot!)

4. Yiazmat - Final Fantasy XII (This battle make me want to snap my controller in half. I swear I spent half my time reviving my party.)

5. The Hydra - God of War (GoW loves to throw intense boss battles at you early, don't they!)

I have a ton more, but I'm tired of listing them. Tell me some of your fave boss battles.

I'm just curious what video game you would most like to see remade, or a sequel created? It can be from any era, any system, any game.

I'd love to see a sequel for Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. It was the most unique horror game I've ever played. With next-gen graphics, a sequel would be guaranteed to scare you silly!

I'd love to see a remake of Final Fantasy VI (6). That's right, I said 6, not 7. And not a handheld remake, I want a remake for the PS3. Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?

I'd love to see either a remake or a sequel to Parasite Eve. Since it was a horror RPG, it combined my two favorite game genres!

Don't be afraid to go old-school on me, some of the most difficult games were on the older consoles (like the NES). Were you ever able to beat/complete the game? Just curious.

I've always been a fans of RPGs, and I decided I was going to give the Tactic/Strategy genre a try. Any good titles you could recommend for the PS2 or Gamecube? Thanks!

I really like the hazelnut cocoa spread Nutella. I'm wondering if anyone has a favorite way to use it, whether it's a favorite bread to spread it on, or a good recipe using it? I'd like to try some different ways of enjoying my favorite spread.

I absolutely love this show, and not very many people I know have even seen it. It's always hilarious and over the top. If you've never seen it, it's a must-watch. If you do watch it, feel free to leave some comments. I'd like to hear your opinion of this program.

I'm looking for a puzzle game for my mother that is similar to Tetris, Bust-A-Move, or Dr. Mario. I tried asking this question before, but I kept getting answers like "God of War". Now I love action games like God of War, but this game is for my Mom. She loves puzzle games. She really doesn't enjoy any other game genre. If anyone could recommend a good puzzle game (I truly don't care if it is old or new, as long as it's for the PS2 or GC), I'd appreciate it. Thanks so much.

Even though the Atari got me into gaming, I think the original Legend of Zelda for the NES made me a true gamer. What about you? What game really made you love video games?

I'm looking for a different RPG game to play. It can be old or new. I'm also curious what your opinions are about challenging and unique games. Thanks a lot.

I'm a big fan of Level 5 RPGs. Dragon Quest 8 and Dark Cloud 2 are two of my favorite games. I've heard some mixed reviews about Rogue Galaxy, so I wanted to see what you think. Is it worth buying? Thanks!

What Guns 'N Roses song starts with a quote from the movie "Cool Hand Luke"?

Here are some of the lyrics:

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the day

I just can’t wait till christmas time

When I can grope you in the hay

Easy come, easy go

Have a good time with lots of dough

Slippin’ up high, slippin’ down low

Love’m and leave’m on with the show

Listen, I like female form in minimal dress

Money to spend with a capital ’s’

Get a date with the woman in red

Wanna be in heaven with three in a bed

He got it, I want it

They got it, I can’t have it

But I want it, it don’t matter

She got it, but I can’t get it

I want a . . .

Finish the line ^ and that's the title!

1st one who gets the title and band gets a cool 10 points!

Good luck, and happy holidays!

Mine is Balthier from Final Fantasy XII. Love that accent!

I love Buckeyes (I'm making some today) and Million-Dollar Fudge with pecans. . .yum! I planning on making a few types of candy, and I'm looking for ideas!
