Trust me, she didn't do anything to benefit the community. I used to play there (4 years ago and for a week, before I played on the official WoW realms proper), and what honestly baffles me most were people who were willing to fork over that kind of money for very poor service and uptime...

I'm not sure what you're addressing (and to whom you're addressing your argument to), because I cannot find any connection between what I've said and what you've argued. I suspect you're arguing with DreamerM, not me. From what I can see, you've simply picked out phrases and went off-tangent...

I would love to start a discussion over this (although this will become really off-topic, but what the hay). How do you feel about female objectification? In my view, any type of objectification is undesirable. Objectification focuses on looks and sexuality rather than merit, and reducing a...

I just think that girls publicly gushing over men in a forum that's predominantly male-oriented is a poor decision, that's all. While I understand the (admittedly girlish) intent behind it, others may not. In this very thread there are already feelings of exasperation about females squealing...

To be frank, I have absolutely no interest in watching my own gender publicly throw themselves at the feet of a man, making shrewd sexual advances, and simultaneously get clobbered by the male population on how we look like whores. And as usual, we'll all degrade into some mudslinging...

Oh Yahtzee. You're just waiting for the this image [http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/130848.html]) to claw your man tits until they're red raw, aren't you?

I'm going to throw in my lot with the Tomb Raider side. I completely agree that Mario's considered a legend in the gaming niche, but Lara is more well known among those who don't game regularly, perhaps mainly due to the movies. Since the gaming population is a subset of the general population...

Just wanted to clear up the 'Asian' characters on the wall - they were written in Chinese, not Japanese. Some of the phrases were taken from Buddhist scriptures, and others were just too blurred for me to decipher. In my opinion, the writing on the wall doesn't set the place anywhere. There...

I call sockpuppet. ETA: Yep. same [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/MYRO%20MAN]. He didn't even bother to change his name, or his location, or his birthdate, or his Xbox live profile.

Strange to note that the Cradle level in Thief is pretty much my favorite level out of all the games I've ever played. I thought it was simply amazing that they could fit such a rich history into a single level, and I seriously didn't want to leave. I just gaped at the inmates' individual cells...

I think what Geoffrey42 was trying to get at was not about the empathy bit, but more of the idea that 'these guys are whackos and I'm completely different from them'. Just because we play Mortal Kombat and don't kick kids to death doesn't mean that those who don't subscribe to that should be...
