"What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil." "No one talks more passionately about his rights than he who in the depths of his soul doubts whether he has any." -Friedrich Nietzsche

This is not actually that uncommon. Most rapes happen from a person the victim knows and are not reported- so the ability to happen again is likely. For example, I work with a handicapped girl (cerebral palsy) who at her previous job was raped by her old boss multiple times- she never reported...

Although it seems commonsense that more attractive females get raped more often, this is not true when looking at rape statistics. Rape victims are all ages, from pre-adolescent to senior citizen and as mentioned before, around half of rape cases happen to people under 18.

300. The dialogue was horrible and the whole movie was just shirtless men screaming the whole time. Plus, knowing about Sparta's history, I find it hilarious that Spartans are fighting to save freedom or for their wives.

Actually, now that I think about it a little more, I think they could utilize the Riddler in an effective manner. Instead of having him be a crime boss or somebody against society, he could emerge as a character that says he knows Batman's identity, but doesn't reveal who it is. He could work...

I don't see how he'd fit the Batman world established by the movies. The mood of the reent Batman movies has been very dark and the Riddler, unless a drastic change in tone occurred within the movies, would need to reflect this. An ADD criminal leaving clues everywhere would hardly fit that...

Personally, I think Nightwing should be in it. Dark Knight ended with Batman being hunted and the movie already presented many 'copycats' of Batman, put those together and you get a character like Nightwing- a batman copy. Use him to hunt down Batman and you have a storyline related to, but...

It's an independent orchestra made up of University of Maryland students who love music and love games.

Sorry that I didn't respond to this earlier. I am definitely game for going to this. A few friends and I are driving up from NC to go see it. It should be a lot of fun!

I liked the movie, but thought the ending could have been done differently. I thought having a space alien would have been stupid, so I didn't mind everyone blaming Doctor Manhattan, but I didn't like how some other stuff was changed. I didn't like how Night Owl witnessed Rorschach's death...

You can check out his website here: http://hcsoftware.sourceforge.net/jason-rohrer/ Some of the games I don't 'get', but I really like Idealism, Perfectionism and Immortality. After playing I had big "Oh... that's what he's going for" moments. Ian Bogost,a professor at Georgia Tech and a...

I really like this definition for art, mostly because it is what I believe to be art. Although I feel very few games actually do it. I am surprised no one has mentioned games made by The Escapists' own Jason Rohrer. He does a wonderful job of making simplistic games that express a message...

Starcraft and Everquest need to be on this list. Starcraft is still played regularly over ten years after its release by a large number of people and essentially made world wide competitive gaming. It's the only game that countries play like America plays basketball and also made the RTS a...

I couldn't agree more.
