Usually, when I type these words, it's cathartic. I usually don't actually post these kinds of things, but I really don't see a way to help here... Anyway, I've been helping a member of this forum for a short while now. I really don't know how much "actual help" I've provided him, but I'm...

See, I think this is (in my own weird little mind) where the dream originated from. I liked the original, having originally played it in my formative years. However, after SO MANY years, every time I hear of a company purchasing and "announcing" that they will make the game, I just assume that...

I had this dream last night and, from what I can remember, it was the funniest dream I ever had. Here it goes: I just bought the game and got home. I opened the box. After shuffling through all the obligatory paper inserts and ads for other games and special editions, I finally reached the...

This installment of (what will most likely become the) franchise is simple to put in comparative terms: This movie = the original AS---- Caddyshack 2 = Caddyshack Yeah... I went there.

Ya know what... It truly saddens me that I have to add this to what would otherwise be a mockingly-and-frankly-FUN-post, but here it goes: THERE IS NOTHING (and I mean NOTHING) IN THIS WORLD SO SERIOUS THAT IT CAN'T BE LAUGHED AT. And, YES, games fall into that category - ALL OF THEM...

School... Of... Cool... I KNEW I recognized you from somewhere! Class of 2001, baby! I believe you were called Jimea, the "mostly" female hermaphrodite then. Glad to see you got a good surgeon to perform the partial re-assignment surgery. You may not recognize me by my internet monicker...

Now THAT'S honesty, folks! Being honest about yourself sets you leaps and bounds above many others.

DonMartin, Having recently talked to someone here, something occurs to me; you may be having these feelings because you are secretly afraid that you don't matter. Well, to put it bluntly, you do matter. You just do. Deal with it. You have a lot going for you; more than most in fact. As...

Hehe...I don't think I've heard that one before. Funny. I like it.

Okay... only read through a few posts since my last, but I WILL give all of the new ideas presented to me the time they actually deserve: 1. You can be fun and engaging. You can be fun and not engaging. You can be not fun and engaging. You can be not fun and not engaging. See, this is...

Alright, this one is simple: If you don't want to talk to your child about something, don't be surprised when the same (presumably) uncomfortable discussion is brought to your child's attention by means that you hadn't anticipated or can't control. What is it in french; "Se la vi" or...

Having read all your responses up to this point, I feel the need to add a bit: It's not that I think fun and entertaining can't coexist, or that I think games need/should currently be considered an art. I just think that if games will become an art, that will only happen when when the two...

If science is the exploration of how, not being able to answer why, and religion is the search for why, not being able to grasp how, then philosophy is the attempt to balance both. I DARE you to search for the origin of those words. That being said, the word empathy springs to mind while...

I've been playing Spelunky since Yu first made it available for download. Still one of my favorites, as I recommend to everyone with a PC. Great fun. Hearty challenge (at least from the start.) Enormous replay value.

I keep hearing/reading that games have to be fun. They are inherently a form of entertainment and, as such, if they're not fun, then the developers have failed. I disagree. In much the same way that other entertainment-based industries have separated fun from entertainment as a whole, the...
