    Brovengers, brossemble!

    Reporting for duty! I'll be in my bunk, to grab my weapon. My giant, glorious weapon. . . . . . . . It makes things go boom.

    What is your cutie mark?

    Well first, I have to say that I'm quite surprised that this thread hasn't died in a glorious fire. As for what my cutie mark would be... can not dying be a cutie mark? I think I'm exceptionally good at that, considering how many times I should have died, including one case where I was...

    Microsoft Reveals Halo 4 Launch Date

    "Confronting his destiny" and "saving the universe", eh? Well then what the heck was Halo 3? If that wasn't his destiny, then JEEZ, they'll have to have something really epic to top it. My outlook towards this game's potential quality remains dubious, and that's coming from someone who's enjoyed...

    Why Easy Games Fail Yahtzee's Game Theory

    Well, to some extent, I guess that was my Ninja Gaiden fanboyism speaking. XD Though if I may, a similar theme does permeate Ninja Gaiden, and that is the theme of honing skill to work towards mastery. That is spoken very clearly in the game design, even down to the differences in difficultly...

    Why Easy Games Fail Yahtzee's Game Theory

    I agree with everything you said except for one thing: That all applies to the original Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox (and Ninja Gaiden Black, possibly to an even greater extent) just as much as Dark Souls. Ninja Gaiden is more than just a game with an arbitrarily high difficultly level, it's built...

    Valve's Gabe is a brony

    People in general like to identify themselves, and more importantly identify with others. Labels are a simple (yet powerful) way to do that. OT: Yes, the tears caused by this are indeed oh so very delicious, lol. Not that I'm provoking anyone anywhere.

    Sega Dreamcast Digital Ports (...like Skies of Arcadia)

    True enough, but I don't quite consider it worth it to pay like $100 (which was the cheapest I've seen) when none of it is going to anyone involved with making the game and when I have a partially working copy that used to work, ergo it's not that I've never played the game (though it is...

    Sega Dreamcast Digital Ports (...like Skies of Arcadia)

    This is so awesome I've been looking to get a working copy of Skies of Arcadia forever. :D EDIT: ...and it's not confirmed 100% yet, dangit.

    Why is Halo 2 considered to be so good?

    As much as I enjoyed the game, I consider it the lower half of the series. And while its campaign was decent and the story was good, it was rather forgettable. It was really its revolutionary (at the time) multiplayer that made it great. Anyhow, here's how I'd rank the series against itself...

    Fan Fiction: Is it a problem?

    I know of something written in an epic verse format that I could show you in a few days when it's no longer locked into a contest. It's of excellent quality, and I believe the author is an English teacher. Interested?

    Fan Fiction: Is it a problem?

    Ha, I never thought of it that way, but that's totally true. You could even say Dante made himself a bit of a Gary Stu, what with attracting the attention of Virgil and all. :P

    Fan Fiction: Is it a problem?

    Fanfics? Ever since I got into MLP: FiM, I went from totally ignoring fanfic to reading, and then eventually writing them. Heck, right now I've got two fics in progress (which I really should be working on, lol. I need to get better at not keeping people waiting forever), and last week I...

    Poll: Is featuring rape in a game going too far?

    Rape and sexual abuse were a major subject touched upon in Silent Hill 2, and Pyramid Head was seen raping the monsters in cutscenes. That all was handled extremely well, and in fact added a layer of depth to the game. So the subject of rape itself isn't the problem, rather it is how it is handled.

    flame war prevention for pony threads

    Well, I'll admit, my bad. However, it's not like I've posted a pony thread myself, or any thread for that matter. I mostly just lurk in forums in general, so I wasn't qualified to make that claim.

    flame war prevention for pony threads

    That is not a site for bronies. That site is for the older gens, which at least 95% of bronies hate just as much everyone else. They're really aren't any big brony sites with forums. The big brony news site just has comment streams for the news posted, and that's it. We honestly don't have...
