1. Homophobia is deeply ingrained in gaming culture; take one look at the online communities and you'll see all kinds of usage of "gay", "queer", "f*g", etc. Its not really the possibility of being directly confronted (though that certainly could happen), but rather the casual homophobia that...

Hitler was friends with an openly gay Nazi officer. The officer, Ernst Rohm, was the only top Nazi that addressed Hitler with an informal 'du', and was also the only one to call him Adolf instead of 'mein Fuhrer.' Rohm was eventually killed during the Night of the Long Knives in 1934.

I also believe New Vegas to be superior. Fallout 3's story didn't really seem to be all that important, really, the majority of it is just Lonesome Wanderer having daddy issues. Not to mention the tone. Oh god the tone of Fallout 3 was so awfully grid mark and serious, it is so unlike Fallout...

This here is an example of why many people seem to like Watchmen so much, it alters the formula and packs an intellectual message. What I mean by "This here" is that the moral areas are so grey that it is hard to tell who is good and who is bad, if such a line could even be drawn. Would you call...

So, because an action is against the law means it is bad, right? So how about the American Revolution? All those 'Founding Fathers' were committing high treason when they rallied a bunch of colonists against their imperial rulers, when they signed the declaration of independence, when they went...

I love how this thread turned into a bragging contest about who can go without food the longest. On the topic of Ramadan, how does one go about the spiritual side of the period? Is getting in tune with one's spirituality a more passive thing? Like saying you fast for Ramadan, thus you are...

They are not as dangerous as one would think. It is easier to cut yourself, yes, but you aren't going to slash your jugular accidentally one morning while shaving. You have absolute control over the razor, it makes it both easier to hurt yourself but it also allows you to get the closest shave...

I'm not sure if you are joking with him or just unaware, but complaining on the Bioware forums about a Bioware game is a bannable offense; see Dragon Age 2, when customers had their games shut off because they vocally complained about the quality on the Bioware forums. As for the OP, I...

Too many to count, I have a whole playlist of songs that have been, in some way, corrupted by a medium. Off the top of my head: Stuck in the Middle with You~Torture from Reservoir Dogs Singin' in the Rain~Brutal Rape from A Clockwork Orange(Actually take all songs mentioned or played...

I've been wanting to get my uncle's Russian prison tattoos as a way of honoring and remembering him. However, I'm afraid I'll be spotted by some Russian mob member and get killed for false marking. That and I'm a bit wary of getting so many tattoos.

"You talkin' to me?"

There only have been a few instances when I've gotten bad at a game, those times always being about horrible checkpoints. Honestly, I have no idea why people take games so seriously, people who act like games are important in the grand scale of things suck the fun out of everything. I have a...

The time travel quest was a reference to Star Trek, and is not considered cannon by anybody, it is just a fun reference to a major influence for the developers.

The writing, atmosphere, and RPG options are better. For example, You can play through the first Fallout without killing a single person. The greatest flexibility Fallout 3 can give you is how to kill your enemies. The humor was almost completely gone, which was very, very disappointing...
