As a Biohazard fan. What I'd like Capcom to do is to stop bloating the lore. There's a reason why I only subscribe to the cannon of 1, 2, 3 and maybe the Veronicas. Going beyond the games set in and around Raccoon City starts to get messy. I've read every scrap of lore and background info I...

The more time that passes after I finished the last page of the last book, the easier it gets for me to admit that it was disappointing to me. It pains me in my heart to admit that. I love the Wheel of Time like no other books. I'd really like to read Jordan's notes. Maybe then I'll get some...

I've gone on to say across a few posts that I agree that the Board needs reforming. I also agree that the people on the board very likely have minimal knowledge if any about video games and that's wrong. The sad state of modern politics means that the word of our elected officials means so...

I can see your points. It leads back into the idea that reform of the board is needed. I disagree with the comparison between film and video games though. When you watch a film you as the audience connect with what you see on some level. The same can be said of video games however there is...

Thank you. You know why. The main reason I initially set myself in this position was because after reading this thread this morning I saw almost an entire page of people venting and blaming things. No one was even trying to discuss this issue and its complexities, let alone the actual...

I might just take the time to reply to some of your points but first. Looks like you have: Talked to me like I'm an idiot, assumed everything about me that you need to in order to frame your 'argument', compared the ACB to the Nazi Party and insinuated that I'm a psychotic megalomaniac...

Looks like I managed to annoy some people before I left for work this morning. As clarification on my support of the Australian Board of Classification, I support their decision based on their criteria. They are a regulatory body doing it's job. The problem with internet...

First some context, I'm an Australian and I'm a gamer of many many years. I'm not going to play devils advocate since I happen to be on side with the Board. If based on their judgement they consider Hotline Miami 2 to be 'too offensive to the normal Australian's sensibilities' based on an...

I'm enjoying Sword Art Online II. It's certainly better than season 1, with it's character exploration and pacing. I've been avoiding spoilers of any kind so I don't know if it's going to be split in half like the first season. Though I hope not. Not sure if I could choose between Asuna and...

I suppose I'll mention Rome 2. Though I wish it didn't exist. Rome 2 is a terrible game and a waste of money and no amount of patching or modding will change that. It's the biggest and most blatant abuse of consumer trust in the entire franchise (and one with games like Empire and Napoleon in...

[Wheel of Time spoiler-ish details incoming] Now that's an intriguing idea. Mat did beat the in-training (but still very very good) Galad and Gawyn with only a quarterstaff shortly after he'd been healed of the dagger from Shadar Logoth. He did not have his battle memories at the time. He...

Miyamoto Musashi was a real, historical swordsman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miyamoto_Musashi Unless the OP clarifies, I'm not sure if real people given fictional representations count =P

Although it's a bit of a tangent to the topic. I don't think I could agree in my head on a favourite character from WoT, but I always liked the arcs with Mat and Perrin (and their ensemble cast) the best. With Mat 'flaming' Cauthon definitely being the most entertaining.

Lurker mode disengage... [[Wheel of Time Spoiler-ish Details Within]] After reading some people vote Rand as the better swordsman over Lan in WoT I couldn't stay silent. The rules for the comparison are strictly all supernatural abilities and enhancements of any and all kinds are turned...
