    I need a girlfriend game

    Something by Telltale? Very simple controls, aside from the odd QTE. Also, as their games are primarily about narrative over gameplay, it'll be closer to what she's familiar with from non-interactive mediums like TV and film, whilst still showcasing gaming's unique ability to immerse through...

    Is it time for feminists to step off our hobby?

    The very fact that you assume that feminists are attacking gaming from the outside, like some kind of foreign army, is reason enough for us to welcome feminism to our hobby. Gaming is not some ancient and venerable society that's being forced to open it's doors to the plebs, and attempting to...

    Poll: Sexy convention costumes - okay to stare?

    This isn't a complicated issue, really. Treat people like people, not like pinups.

    Thor Is Getting Gender-Flipped. Officially.

    Jessica, the great and powerful goddess of thunder. yeah, that sure sounds impressive. [/sarcasm] Thor doesn't have an alter ego, so the name is synonymous with the title of 'God of Thunder'. When Eric Masterson briefly took up the role, he went by Thor. I don't really get why you're quite...

    Manassas City Police Trying to Sexually Abuse 17-Year-Old to Convict Him as a Sex Offender

    Just when we've all gotten accustomed to the US justice system failing to convict rapists, they go well into the other extreme and criminalise horny teenagers? *Sarcastic slow clap*

    Poll: Am I disgusting for not paying for the first date?

    I don't think a man should be obliged to pay, no. Still nice to offer I guess, but that's more about generosity for its own sake than anything else.

    The Hobbit Cast Swaps Genders in All-Female Photoshoot

    Love the idea of this, but the execution is lacking. As loads of people have already said, most of the models are too conventionally attractive compared to the more fantastical/'unattractive' male originals, and lady Gandalf is too young and has way too small a nose. Lady Thorin is straight up...

    Fallout Fans Petition Bethesda for Fallout 4 Information

    Change.org is not for stuff like this. For shame.

    Are Men Allowed To Be Offended?

    Men are perfectly entitled to be offended when a female employer singles them out for derision. However, one example of an abusive female boss is not evidence of a widespread, systematic victimisation of men in the workplace. Any man that claims otherwise is overstepping by a mile.

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    Yes, it is racist. He may not necessarily be a particularly vehement racist, but he's still making a blanket judgement about a certain group of people based on race. If physical attraction is really that important to you, and if you're not especially attracted to black women, fair enough...

    What if GTAV sucks?

    It won't suck. Lots of people won't like it because it's not their thing, and a bunch of other people will probably tear into it for the sake of being the cool hipster asshole that hated the years biggest hit. By any objective measure, though(glitches, graphics, length etc), I can practically...

    Would you support a cure for homosexuality and transexualism?

    Gay people don't rape kids. I fail to see your point.

    Would you support a cure for homosexuality and transexualism?

    Seriously? You're seriously doing this, OP? Homosexuality is not something that can just be cured. Hell, it's not something that SHOULD be cured. Being born gay is NOT the same as being born with a genetic condition. Homosexuality may not be the norm, but that does NOT make it a sign of...

    I used to dislike Anita Sarkeesian, but...

    If you're tired of the issue, then don't click on threads with Anita Sarkeesian's name in the title. Telling us that you don't care isn't constructive, it's just dismissing a very real issue because you're not personally affected.
