Manhunt. It was the first game I ever bought off Steam, basically before I understood much about Steam. I had been looking for it for ages, and when I realized it was available on this service, I made a Steam account and eagerly bought it. It plays well for five minutes...and then it has a...

The very first game I bought on Steam was in 2012, and it was a very old game that I had been looking for everywhere. I was so excited to start up my Steam account and buy it - especially for $9.99, which I thought was a very reasonable asking price. I played five minutes of it. Past that...

I never suggested that it would ever directly "call out" to queer "sensibilities" (whatever that means). Quite the opposite, in fact. And a move like this would never, ever be "apolitical." Seriously, changing the gender of the main character of a long-running show would be "apolitical"? What...

No, I probably would not watch it. As an FtM, I just KNOW the handling of gender issues would be too badly botched for me to bear. The thought of any writer on modern shows trying to write a character that's always been male transforming to a female makes me feel more than a bit ill.

So I click on this thread, and the OP mentions too incredibly common turn-ons (biting, blood - especially biting) as "fetishes" that are apparently too weird to remotely understand. Oh man, I knew this thread would go nowhere good after that. Oh, and then the sheer weirdness of seeing BDSM...

I've owned eight cats in my life, and never had ONE that was as trainable as you suggest here, regardless of the method used to deter said cats. Nice try, dude who's never owned a cat. OT: I hate dudes who don't put the toilet seat down. Including in the men's. No, I don't want to touch the...

I guess I am very forgiving to games. I like Passage, I found it moving, and it's only 5 damn minutes long. I liked Every Day the Same Day. I adored edutainment games as a kid. I love Skyrim. But my aunt has this game she got herself for her Wii, which I ended up playing when I went to catsit...

- I thought Farah from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was a horrible, horrible, horrible character who I spent the entire game wishing would die. The obnoxious "sassy" remarks all the time. The fact that she can't even begin to defend herself in battle, forcing you to start a difficult...

Yes, it bloody well does. Someone above mentioned the possibility of a multiplayer-only game being, "the best game ever made." Ha! Like a group read-a-long could be the best possible way to experience fine literature.

I had the same problem with the blowing up of Megaton in FO3 that many people did - I frankly couldn't stomach it. The first time I tried to play through the game, I started as basically neutral and went for the house in Megaton, but my game screwed up. So I started over, as a good character...

I love that you didn't address my first two paragraphs at all. Firearm violence has done nothing but decline in Canada since stricter gun control laws were enacted here. That's extremely easy info to find. Note that I said firearm violence specifically. Stabbing violence rose, of course, but...

If you seriously think that in a crowd of panicked, scrambling people in a dark room filled with tear gas that someone would have correctly identified the shooter and "probably would have hit him in the head," you're utterly insane. I've seen multiple people suggest now that more guns would...

I think any proportional, reasonable self-defense measure is always excusable.

First of all, her need to protect herself is more important than your feelings. When a woman is assaulted, it's USUALLY by a guy she knows - a friend, coworker or boyfriend, say - and not by some stranger. Yet when guys get a hint (or are told outright) that women don't trust them, they almost...

Opposite SEX or opposite GENDER? Opposite-gender me would be a girl, but opposite-sex me would be male. The latter is somewhat more appealing than the former, but really, I'd sleep with either. I don't know why this would need to be "opposite," anything, I'd just cheerfully bang myself...
