    Extra Punctuation: An Invisible Protagonist

    Yahtzee's ideas are actually pretty cool. I would definitely buy a game that relied completely on stealth and subterfuge rather than falling back on a combat system or using AI thicker than the Berlin Wall.

    Extra Punctuation: Roleplaying Homosexual in Dragon Age 2

    I definitely agree with Yahtzee here, to the point that I would extend it to all characters. All of their dialogue is so well written and surprisingly well delivered I found it hard not to care more about whoever I was romancing. Regardless of sexual orientation, Dragon Age 2 really has set the...

    On Multiplayer

    Interesting to actually get a deeper explanation about this subject. I can understand not enjoying competitive multiplayer, sometimes I just don't feel up to trying to trying my hardest to ruin another player's enjoyment of the game.

    Zero Punctuation: Epic Mickey

    Yahtzee asked who this game was for. It was for Chris Antista, associate editor at GamesRadar and people like him. Big Disney dorks who know Disney well and enjoy the reverence it shows.

    Superheroes and their costumes in movies.

    I think it's perfectly acceptable for a big screen movie. When you have a well known superhero, it's very likely they don't change or completely remove a costume lightly.

    Very interesting article. It also brings up a thought about the nature of 'hardcore gamers' who dislike 'casuals'. We act like, for example, music snobs, who will decry anything the 'unwashed masses' enjoy. I admit I administer a little bit of music snobbery as well, always scolding my friends...

    Game Design Sketchbook: Police Brutality

    The thing is he didn't do anything to provoke police action. The way the police just randomly arrested him for doing nothing illegal is what is disturbing. My apologies if I was unclear, I was simply stating that this is similar to something I know happened in China, where people have far less...

    Game Design Sketchbook: Police Brutality

    That video was something I had seen before, but it is no less disturbing seeing it again. That is the kind of thing I would expect to see in China (somebody I know HAS seen something like that in China), but that young man was just exercising his rights as an American citizen. If there is no...

    Poll: Are you a Geek or a Nerd?

    I would consider myself both, but I usually just tell people I am a nerd because I don't like the word "geek."
