Hahaha, man. I bring up valid counterarguments, and you decide that the proper way to respond is mockery? I'm sure that will convince everyone in this thread to take Republicans seriously. Honestly, this kind of tactic is not going to convince anyone who isn't already on your side. I...

And this is a good thing? A hundred and fifty years ago, "traditional moral values" would have meant continuing to deny women the right to vote. A hundred years ago, "traditional moral values" would have meant upholding longstanding anti-miscegenation laws, preventing mixed race sex and...

Guys, for anyone who's affected by this, I recommend you try to spread the word as much as you can. As others in this thread have posted, this is not just a problem with the game not recognizing the old face code, but is caused by the wholesale removal of essential facial feature options, as...

So if I prefer brunettes to blondes, I'm a racist?

I came in here expecting to be the first person to mention this particular issue, and I'm pretty surprised that I've been beaten to it not once, but twice. For me personally, I tend not to be attracted to some black people, or certain Asian groups like Pacific Islanders. Weird as it sounds, I...

Yes. I personally think men and women should be treated equally by the law, including in such frivolous areas as whether or not they're required to wear shirts. There have actually been a number of court decisions in the US over this issue, and I know at least a few times the women...

Was freeing the slaves in the American South after the Civil War cultural imperialism? Maybe. Was it the right thing to do? Absolutely. Of course, women have the right to act subservient to men, if they choose to. There are plenty of women in America who still do, and while I personally...

Like a lot of other people, mine favorite is Avatar: The Last Airbender. I'm also a big fan of a lot of the DCAU shows, mostly the ones which Bruce Timm was involved in, such as Batman:TAS and the Justice League. And Teen Titans, which was extremely variable but could be very good. If I limit...

It kind of is, actually. If you write "the best stories are always told without words" it is absolutely unreasonable to assume you meant "the best stories in video games are sometimes told without words". A reader could assume the "video games" bit, but there's really no reason for you to...

Since when is the complexity of a story indicative of its quality or depth? Shadow of the Colossus is a simple story told well, and with impressive emotional depth. Unlike the Mass Effect series, which is well told around and in spite of a simple (and rather silly) story, SotC bases a...

No further context was necessary. Obviously there will always be some larger context for every quote that's not included in the quote. It's impossible to quote everything a person said that led up to the quote, so the proper thing to do is to quote in such a way that the meaning of the quote...

Mass Effect has great writing, but not really a great story. I say this as someone who considers Bioware as my favorite game studio, and Mass Effect as one of my favorite games. Sadly, there's almost no way to have a truly great story when that story is constructed basically mix-and-match...

Personally, while I'm enjoying Mass Effect quite a bit, I have to admit that there's a lot there to criticize. The slooowww elevators, the hacking system consisting of a sort of lame rhythm game, the wonky commands for your allies in combat, the ever present texture pop-in, the combat in the...
