I watched some of LRR Kathleen's footage of the game a couple of weeks ago. She, too, observed that the game had a tendency to both discourage combat and require it at the same time. Apparently it just doesn't give as much benefit as just wandering around doing quests, so it doesn't feel like...

I was resting my head on my hand, but luckily my finger settles in such a way that it goes over my right arm and just mangles the wall and part of my closet door. I might have a few lacerations and it might blow out my eardrums for a while, but other than that, a little drywall and a fresh coat...

I can see where the prevailing 'No' response is coming from. The idea is centered around someone trying to shoehorn himself into the trappings of an institution designed around sexual relationships, and there is no real reason for it if no such relationship exists. In that case our theoretical...

So, it looks like a good chunk of the people who posted earlier in the thread have since changed their avatars to something confusing. Another chunk stated that they could not have killed whatever was in their avatar, apparently not considering the possibility of an accident? Anyway, killing...

If the goal is to actually get through whatever game you are in, beat it, and continue to be viable against human opponents afterwards, then this kind of reminds me of an Extra Credits article - this is more of a calculation than a choice. Mewtwo wins in the first game because it is broken in...

Dammit, why the hell did I even sign up for the Plushrump dating service?! Headdy is still a step up from those awful RealDoll things, though.

Teleportation is convenient, good for the environment, etc. That I couldn't bring my clothes with me seems logical, even - I'd disappear right out of them. It would require a bit more setup, but it would still be the sensible way to get around between places I frequent often. I think we are...

Usually, I automatically break the matter down into a set of strengths and weaknesses that usually balances out. Someone might be my intellectual and social superior in every way except they suck at math or laundry or ethics or something. In relationships where there is a stark contrast of...

Most Escapists should know who Headdy is. For those of you who don't... . ◄ It's this guy. In some contexts, I still go by Dr. Gunsforhands, a reference to the short-lived True Life Adventures of Brian and Sosa. For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, I cannot...

Well, the honor and goodness and whatnot are things that I like to think I would do anyway, so I guess priority one is to be as flashy and distinctive as possible. Let's see... red-tinted goggles a pair of sneakers in the exact same color as the cookie monster huge sombrero // floppy...

Meh. The States and the Provinces work out about the same from a patient's standpoint: you'll never be left to die if they can help it, clinic visits like to be slow, and you'll have faster and better care overall if you have the cash to pay for it. Canada's version is just less confusing...

Yes. I am, in fact, an indistinct, nebulous void.

It depends on the alien. I mean, I might count dwarves and vulcans as human, and stuff like grays or Invader Zim is still humanoid. "Humanoid-like" encroaches on this sort of territory. [http://starslip.com/2009/02/13/starslip-number-977/] My answers, respectively: State my full name, so...

Unstoppable Harpoon: the Card Game I guess it's a combination of 7th Sea [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7th_Sea_(collectible_card_game)] and Nanuk [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/54433/nanuk]? High-speed Beach Gang Simple racer, or compilation of the first levels from every Sonic game...

Assuming that I could keep my hormone-addled mind out of the gutter, I would gather data and notes to help further the new sex-changing technology. Duh. I would probably want take up super-science myself and stick with the researchers for a while. Screw this irreversible life-changing...
