    Can there be a gay character in a children's show?

    I don't really think kids shows should directly approach the problems of sexuality, since not only is it (at least in America) about the quickest way to get yourself off the air and cancelled, but the fact is that at younger ages it just doesn't have an impact on kids, like it might on a show...

    NASA: "Apollo 18 Is Not a Documentary"

    The fact that these kind of announcements even have to be made baffles me to no end.

    EVE Online Players Flip a Lid Over Virtual Clothing

    The biggest problem with this is that CCP has made almost no official comment on all the player rage, and it's just infuriating that they think we're just cows with wallets. However, if you're an EVE player or soon-to-be-ex EVE player, check out Perpetuumm it's like EVE 8 years ago when it...

    Where do you think WW3 will start?

    At this point, world war 3 is pretty much out of the question. All the big and emerging powers (Russia, the EU, US, China, India) all have much more to gain through mutual support than through pointless fighting. Unless something truly improbable and egregious occurred, I'd say WWIII is out of...

    Hackers Snag 1.3 Million Sega Pass Accounts

    Fortunately the only decent Sega game I've played in years was AvP. Here's to hoping these tards don't lead to increased internet regulation!

    Nyancat and Robot Unicorn Attack Now Live in Harmony

    OMG. This is such win. Damn you Escapist, this is more addictive than those crack-laced chocolate nachos I tried.

    Daily Mail Voices Concern Over "Ultra-Violent" Modern Warfare 3

    You know what always mystifies me? These papers and news shows always complain about games that are too violent or in bad taste, but in almost all cases (there are a few rare exceptions, though) they just seem to be preaching to the converted. Most people who would take offence at something...

    Most Disliked Stereotype

    The stereotype that just because stereotypes aren't universally true means they're never true.

    BioWare Could Move Away from Fantasy and Sci-Fi

    As long as it's not a straight shooter (With 'steamlined rpg elements') I wouldn't write this off completely. It would be interesting to have some sort of modern espionage game (that actually involves espionage). Actually, while I'm on this idea, what about a game where you infiltrate a...

    Blizzard Hopes Faster WoW Expansions Will Halt Sliding Subscriptions

    Speaking as an ex-WoW player (I played until Cata, maxed out, then quit) I have to say that the content that keeps players playing is the leveling stuff. Endgame works for some people, but at this point the time investment-reward ratio for endgame content is rocketing up exponentially. My...

    The Big Picture: Skin Deep

    Speaking as a once-fan of Avatar: TLA (The TV show, not the movie. Though I love JC's Avatar as well) I have to say one of the big reasons I decided to say "Fuck the movie" was because part of my pathetic youthful innocence was based around the fact that, aside from the slight subtext of racial...

    Extra Punctuation: Building Sequels Badly

    Fans are not the majority buyer of Triple-A titles. For indie titles and the like, this is certainly true, but in the larger industry it's more important to have broad appeal. IE: Having a good game that everyone likes is better than making a game you think the fans will love, and ending up...
