In a science fiction pen & paper RPG i came across, dolphins are recognized as a sentient species and with some tooling of the rules could be playable characters. The game talks about them having telepathically-controlled (and one website said tongue-controlled...?) prosthetic limbs, and...

Damn EA! Sleep well, Pandemic. You've earned it.

Here's what I don't understand: I didn't play those old ass games at the top of the list when I was a kid, and I don't play them now. I went on my 360 and played MW2: amazing graphics, furious gameplay, and ultimatly an example of how far gaming has come. Then I went and played a game of Tetris...

Speculate, if you will. And I don't mean next 'big' genre, I mean an entirely new genre that is different from the currently established ones. With the popularity, ease, and frequency associated with indie games, games have become a creative outlet and the old genres are being pushed to their...

What is the significance of this list?

One thing I noticed was a common aspect in RPGs: you kill some innocent NPCs and your character becomes "evil". Whether you find that a consequence or not, in MW2 you don't grow Fable-esque devil horns during No Russian. You can't even speak (something capable in MMOGs, assuming the other...

Of course there is a desensitising effect. That's what I blame for when halfway through Bioshock I saw some more severed corpses and I thought "Boooooring". I mean, damn. I've put more virtual men in my sights than half the combined men in the army. Same affect (or effect?) from movies and other...

I believe he had a snickers-themed tank plow through a playground in one of those commercials. Huh.

Did a little research, sounds like an awesome game (just what I'm looking for). I wonder; what's the community like? Still going strong? Looks promising. I'll check it out! I used to play Ravenshield religously, but lost it awhile back... I do agree that the R6 games got awful around Vegas...

They got burned alive after being shot by Sheperd. I think that kills most people.

Well, if I had a magical physics/universe breaking box I would stay on Earth to fuck with people: I would be an omnipitent god. Besides, the human brain literally needs other people, otherwise it goes crazy.

What does that mean, 'explore universe'? Do you mean observable space? Because you can explore the universe here on Earth. Hell, you do it every day. I suppose you meant explore outer space, which would be VERY boring/long with current technological capabilities.

I complain and hate because I'm skeptical about everything, mostly hating on things to enjoy on other people's angry reactions. Yeah.

2nd grade, school, didn't understand. Not exactly sure why it's important that we know where we were during the event, but whatever.

I never said it was hard to read; just a little too reliant on the suspension of disbelief and poor story-telling aspects.
