Yeah, the hostility is what I fail to understand. Mind you, it's not *surprising*. It is apparently to be assumed that when a woman says anything critical of a video game she's going to be called crazy, ignorant, shrill, overreacting, humorless, etcetera. I just can't relate to it. All that's...

If you'd like to know what's actually going on here, I recommend the book "The Black Hole War" by Leonard Susskind. I'll summarize as best I can - I'm a layman but I have a pretty keen interest in the subject. What's at stake here is the physicists' concept of "information". Information, in...

Man I had to create an account just to comment on this. (Interestingly I frequent a forum run by one of the writers, but he's not letting anything slip as to what they have planned, or any of the secret backstory. Did you know one of the guys who did the script for Psychonauts co-wrote the...
