So, the problem is that media that emphasizes production values over things like originality and innovation employes stereotypically shallow marketing ploys and targets the demographic that prioritizes production values over originality and innovation? Shallow media targets shallow people...

Really? It is your position that coming out and insulting large groups of people over the ridicules, ignoring the majority of data because it disagrees with you, belittling things you know people adore, and everything else that boils down to an effort to create a "shitstorm" is a great way to...

I do not think you understand what you are saying, it's implications, or how the entertainment industry works. You are overlooking a lot of data, or are perhaps unaware of it. Ever notice how they censor a lot less from old movies then they used to? How do you think such things happened? The...

I very much hear most of what you are saying, and I consider the breakdown apt and one I am going to use in the future. I am however missing something, as when I attempted to apply the standard in my own head I failed miserably. I reached in my head for an example of a character with...

I may be confused by definitions, but wouldn't just about any paranormal game that takes place in modern times be considered Urban Fantasy given that the focus of games is usually the perspective of the main protagonist? Dead space may not qualify, but the likes of Silent Hill and Resident...

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I am not sure I am explaining my question very well, so I will try another method. First, let me remind you of the scale we are talking about. A trillion times a trillion worlds is a huge understatement. A trillion to the power of one trillion is an...

No! I haven't beat it yet! No!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, because we are constantly shedding bio-matter, any inter(extra?)-dimensional traveler would instantly exist into two separate dimensions the moment they stepped into dimension number two. If they spent any amount of time in the second...

And by evil, I mean acting counter to the efforts of our Elizabeth and Booker.

I have a couple of questions to add.

That was kind of the exact opposite of my point, but if I had to pick my very favorite way to fail at being persuasive, it would be to have people walk away saying they will make an effort to contribute more data to any conversation they join. Good times to you!

You know what, I am a happy gamer. I don't think there is a worst thing in gaming. Right now I am bouncing around between Soul Caliber, Impre, Anno, Stardrive, Borderlands 2, Batman, the entire Max Payne franchise, Sins of a Solar Empire, Solar 2, Majesty 2, and Blood Bowl. I now play video...

There most certainly are emotional debates. That is what happens when you support arguments with feelings rather then facts. It is actually the norm outside of an academic setting. Besides, if subjective emotional reaction to external stimuli was governed by logical, you could logic most people...

These: Were not your words? The above is an example of bringing a logical standard to an emotional debate, and doing so selectively. It does not address the logic of all parties, and instead focuses on one despite the fact that the standard would invalidate the basic premise of the...

First off: Emotional reactions to visual stimuli are not governed by logic. Second: If you are going to drop the false equivalency line in an emotional debate, you might wish to look up special pleading. As example of special pleading: When femininity is being objectified, it is sexist...

I have a question no one in this debate seem to be asking. How do we show that saving Peach is worth the time? Most Mario games have two general elements. Peach gets kidnapped, and if you want the world to stop being a hellhole, you must save her. Most people tune out after the...
