    Hellboy Director Hates Game Cutscenes

    Just to make sure this gets seen: If you are going to post a summary from Eurogamer of an interview from Irrational, please make sure you do more than skim that summary. The details you claim Guillermo Del Toro "teased" about his game are actually Ken Levine recommending Bastion to the...

    Poll: Thinking of Leaving My GF of Three Years

    If you so strongly don't care why did you click the topic? Sometimes it helps to bounce ideas and situations off people who don't know you, never will know you, and whose opinions of you matter even less than normal.

    Poll: Thinking of Leaving My GF of Three Years

    Oh dear god end it now. Seriously, this sort of thing doesn't go away and the longer you have to deal with it the more you will start to resent her for taking away your individuality. Besides, it sounds like you've already made up your mind and just made this topic to get confirmation of your...

    Extra Punctuation: Building Sequels Badly

    I'll agree that we need more games based around limited story than we have currently. X-com: UFO Defense has no story really, but you build your own through how you play and it's awesome. Other games like Metroid Prime, Shadow of the Colossus, and Ico have such minimalistic storytelling it's...

    Why is 'Freedom of Speech' so misunderstood?

    Because slander and libel are specific legal terms and you have to prove numerous things. Not the least of which is "that the plaintiff suffered some injury to his or her reputation as a result of the communication." I think it's pretty clear from that example that it's a hyperbolic insult...

    Anyone else bothered by the increased blurring of gender roles?

    I actually really agree with this. I don't agree with your assertion that it's going out the window, though. I will admit: For some women and men, this sort of gender dichotomy simply doesn't exist or doesn't factor into their lives. That doesn't mean that gender dynamics don't still exist...

    The Big Picture: Conspiracy Weary

    http://www.skepticalscience.com/ This is a great site because it utilizes peer reviewed articles from people who actually know what they are talking about. If you don't believe in global warming, it's simply because of how complex the issue is. The story most people are told is ridiculously...

    Game characters you have always wanted to kill.

    Fontaine in Bioshock, simply because he isn't nearly as well developed as the other characters and seems really cliche.

    Why the hell did I buy this?

    Must... avoid... inclination... to... argue... That said, I prune the hell out of my game collection, so there's nothing there I don't love to near creepy levels. For a long time I had Too Human in there, though... so I'm gonna go with that.

    Your most memorable place in gaming.

    Oooooohhh. I like this answer. I didn't remember it until I watched it but I remember first finding it. Kind of terrifying in a game I never expected it from The ones that came to my mind (I can't pick just one, sorry): 1. Welcome to Rapture - Bioshock: That game did setting better...
