Can I be the person to say neither? I mean, to an extent both things are true, as people have said. We experienced players have skill and familiarity at our backs, which is a luxury not everyone has, so games designed for a larger set of people, and games designed to be able to draw in more...

Shogun 2? Me too! I didn't exactly give up due to difficulty - more a combination of being a little bored with the slog of it all, and then having every single clan declare war on me. But, a definite one for the topic: SpaceChem. I keep meaning to go back to it and try some more, but at the...

Naturally, a great deal of movies/games/books gloss over or don't reveal the specific details of these things because they aren't significant to the actual point of the movie/game/book in question. However, this kind of thing has been pretty well hashed out to several reasonable forms by those...

Honestly, the only one I have consistently liked enough to remember their name for a situation like this is Valve. So: Valve. Others certainly do good work, like Bioware's Dragon Age and whoever did Medieval 2, and Infinity Ward back when they gave PC players dedicated servers, but I don't...

Didn't the Portal games come out on the 360 at least? EDIT: A weaker computer will play most indie games and Valve releases, since they don't work the graphics like a taskmaster. Also, pardon my French, but he sounds like a jerk.

While the Geneva convention obviously can't police the world of video games, and hopefully won't try, I do think it is something to be concerned about more than most people are saying (and thank you Susan for arguing that). As a gamer, I know that if I have learned nothing else about how to wage...

I think that they absolutely should, but it is something to be cautious about doing lest you rob the player of their feeling of control. I think I would try to avoid pulling a Xantos Gambit against the player. To the cons you mentioned specifically: - In response to the first issue I would...

As someone who still self identifies as a gamer since I don't really think that doing otherwise keeps people from thinking people who play games are generally... well, we all know the stereotypes, I tend to put a bit of importance on the word. Someone who plays Farmville, for example, is not a...

Well for that argument I just don't really see it. Yes, picketing funerals tends to be in poor taste. That is a time of mourning that is very important to people. But when you have spent years and years doing that to people who have had to deal with the difficulties of being a military family...

The most recent Pokemon games were a little unforgiving about this, since you couldn't re-battle NPCs, meaning the only way to reliably get a lot of EXP was to run around to make shaky grass appear and battle Audinos over and over and over. It was especially bad with the final time you fight...

I'm undecided on this, but I think the people worrying about stooping to their level are being a little bit silly. Picketing his funeral would not make someone as bad as they are. It might make you a bit less desirable a person, but you aren't picketing the funeral of someone who died fighting...

RTS games. I can handle them well enough in single player most of the time - when I have a pause button I can use very, very frequently. In multiplayer or games without pause buttons, however, I'm pretty much screwed. I think it's just that I don't think at a high speed. Or maybe can't...

Once you know what love is.

It's a difficult thing to be sure about, since a lot of people will give different reasons, but I think it amounts to the following two: 1. Misunderstandings and uncertainty. 2. Divisiveness and anger. Not all furries want to screw animals or have any sort of fetish directly related to them...

Without second thought. As has been said, the prospect of learning all you could about the world in an immortal's lifetime is far more appealing than the difficulties of trying to apply that learning to your efforts at parenthood.
