If the conflict has more nuance than the typical "We have the bomb; mua ha ha" US depicted in so many anime then yea, I wouldn't mind. Come to think of it, I've watched plenty of anime over the years with the US taking a villain role. My final opinion depended on the quality of the story...

To be fair, this one distinguishes itself by having enemies that actively hunt players so you have a gameplay related reason to build something more than a mud hut. Every seven days (surprise) a huge horde will find your house and give your building skills a test.

Most of my arguments against that article have been covered but let me throw out one more. Progressives are quick to give slap labels like "anti intellectual" on people who oppose or are just not interested in their arguments. Could it be that some gamers are very much intellectuals only...

releasing a weaponized zombie virus vs ruining Sim City; that's a tough call for the first spot there.

Its too late EA - way too late. I don't want to trust you anymore. I want to watch you die and make way for better, newer studios.

Its been a long time since my gtx670 was enough to meet party qualifications. Whats worse, I hear they are considering 4k as a minimum in a year or so. Both Nvidia and AMD have some good hardware coming this year; maybe I can reach upper middle class without going bankrupt.

The article is worth a look. They used both venomous and harmless snakes (like this one) as projectiles. It was brilliant plan really; once word of Greeks throwing vipers onto ships spread around, they could throw easier to handle snakes and enemies would head for the water all the same.

In case any of you missed it, Nohorsetown answered the thread right there. Obnoxious people will be obnoxious regardless of what they eat or which side they are on.

Ah, the Placebo effect; we sure are good at finding things when we are told to look for them. This experiment seems a bit weak though. Having played Dont Starve, I think playing another two rounds would enlighten most of the players who were fooled. "Wait, it should be getting easier but there...

I don't have anything new to add to the cyborg vs power armor debate but I think you've found an interesting bit of story worth exploring in your work. Some questions I would want to know - What do other people looking at her see? In your world does she look like a cyborg or would people see...

Nintendo was such a part of my childhood I don't think they could ever make me hate them they way I do EA. Yet seeing more actions like this drive home the point that Nintendo is old and out of touch. They have never played nice with youtubers and the best thing to do about it is just let...

Hopefully the kids know to run if a stranger asks if they want to see his pokeballs. Its a bit RL scary though. I'm unfamiliar with the range the swaps must take place at. Do you have to be within snatching distance of the unmarked van / supposedly vacant building etc... ?

I like to think this ended with the EA reps being thrown into a deep pit.

Thanks for the informative thread :) You mention anime not being completely worthless as a learning tool. How close is the speech in anime to the average Japanese on the street? I ask because anyone learning English from american cartoons would sound like an idiot.

Aaaand its funded. Sitting at 2.3 M as of this post. Ill be another sale if Sega decides to port the first two for PC. I could drag my Dreamcast out from its deep sleep but Id much rather just launch from Windows/ Steam.
