    What is your favorite moment in gaming? And why?

    This is so hard... Here's the first two that come to mind. FFVII: The moment at the end where the lifestream emerges, everyone is blinded by light, and Aeris' eyes open. Planescape: Torment: The moment when you discover your true name.

    You vs. your Avatar

    My avatar is an ultra-feminine opera-loving Nazi vampire with a magical rifle and shark teeth. I don't think I could personally be further from this if I tried, but we do both have freckles?

    Should women be able to fight on the frontlines?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_military#Female_allowance_to_serve_active_duty Mostly, people on this thread are just talking out their ass. There's been a lot of "common sense" knowledge that's already been disproven - take a look at cases of flight combat and sniping, for...

    Poll: Is it wrong to automatically assume some is heterosexual?

    I don't know about "wrong" - moralizing isn't the best way to deal with anything - but I'd say it's a lot like assuming that someone has two parents: However statistically likely, when it turns out one of them died or something, you're going to look like a big jackass if you didn't watch your...

    Poll: User Review of Dragon Age 2 (LONG READ, No Spoilers)

    This looks fair, especially since I can identify things you liked that I know I'd hate. I'd love to know more about the companions, however?

    Example Female Characters you think qualify as good/strong/etc (with reasons)

    Whenever somebody asks this question people just write down their favourites. Strength is pretty subjective, especially when you don't make any effort to define it.

    No Dragon Age 2 for Suspended BioWare Forumite - UPDATED

    Bioware's been pissing on its customers lately. I'm glad word is spreading about this. The people who think he's over the line... Quite shocking, really. Consider the kind of vitriol you have to spout about another USER before people are willing to consider things "over the line" on most...

    Poll: Shaved legs on a guy?

    Meh, symbols are just symbols. If you'd rather touch smooth legs, why should you be surprised that it's the same for her?

    Rebecca Mayes Muses: Love Song for Yahtzee

    Please don't act like you know a damn thing about feminism after that long, embarrassing tirade of a response. Hell, you probably still think the word is synonymous with lesbian, don't you?

    Rebecca Mayes Muses: Love Song for Yahtzee

    Like I said: you read as somebody who doesn't get it and is threatened by having girls in his space. You don't like her music? That's fine. You're under no impetus to. But she is hardly just putting idle thought to a tune - Mayes' work is meta-commentary on gaming culture that typically...

    Rebecca Mayes Muses: Love Song for Yahtzee

    So what you're trying to say is, you didn't get it, and you're threatened by girls in your space, and you get irrationally angry whenever someone disagrees with you or says things you dislike about people you like, and you have an inexplicable and irrational hatred towards anyone with an...

    Rebecca Mayes Muses: Velvet Assassin

    Wow, this thread is a mess... For what it's worth, I like the song, but more than that its message. I wish that's what people were talking about, but I guess you can only pull out of the comfort zone so much.

    Can't Sleep

    Make sure you're comfortable. If you lay on your back, put a pillow under your knees, or put one between your knees if you lay on your side. Try doing some situps or tensing every muscle in your body then releasing them one by one. If all else fails, run to the drug store and pick up some...
