Got this email, first thought was "This is the hacking attempt right here"

I spend a lot of time watching British murder mysteries, and whenever I am watching Inspector Lynley Mysteries, I cannot help but think, "This guy is basically British batman." Nathaniel Parker, seriously, would be awesome. And no one say a word about accents, and actor worth his salt can...

I'm kinda surprised no one has mentioned this... Michael Mando, Vaas Montenegro in Far Cry 3. Crazy isn't as easy to pull off as you think it is, and that guy did bone-chillingly crazy. He deserves a medal. Also Nolan North, 'cause, ya'know, everything.

I'm speaking out of ignorance here to a large extent, but it seems to me that a character whose existence revolves entirely around the protagonist reeks of poor writing. I agree that a character should be flawed, but not so flawed that their entire motivation needs to fall back on the nearest...

I feel like my definition of "gamer stereotype" is a lot different to a lot of you, 'cause all of my gamer buddies learn foreign languages and produce visual art. My stereotype breaker is I play piano, sing, dance, and act on stage in musical theatre, and regularly go to the gym. Still a...

Desensitisation to violence and murder have been around a long time, my friend. Ever read an ancient Greek tragedy? Or a comedy for that matter?

I guess I'm speaking from a slightly different context here. I don't see these sorts of discussions about rape jokes only on the internet, I see them all the time irl. I agree that humour can, in it's own dark way, highlight the seriousness nature of such things. But such jokes are well...

Some take it in their stride, some don't. My point was that you can't really compare jokes about murder and jokes about rape. A hefty chunk of the population live with the backlash of rape on a day to day basis, the same is not true with murder. Once you're dead, you're dead. I realise that...

There is one very large difference between murder and rape that needs to be pointed out. There are people out there, who have personally experienced being raped, who's lives are irrevocably changed by this massive trauma in their past. I won't go into detail about how rape is traumatising, but...

The way I play my character in RPG's largely depends on how I name them. When I named my fallout char serenity, I played a neutral, mediator character, named my next Suffering and killed everything that moved. Currently playing Skyrim as Groetus, named after the God of End Times in the...

Good on you mate. Obviously video games have quite a ways to progress, but it's nice to see what effort has been made is having a positive effect :)

As someone who would like to one day work as Designer, I've come across hundreds of courses for art and programming, yet not one for actual game design. I think, in this regard at least, he really has a point.

In Skyrim, you hear a wolf noise, keep an eye out, check your map, adjust your heading, "oh shit where the fuck did you come from!" Also Endermen from Minecraft, once I spent an entire night staring one down hoping nothing snuck up on me.

After achieving %100 synch in Assassins Creed Revelations, I found myself still wanting to mess about in the sandbox, kill guards, do challenges, etc, but found that not only was there nothing left to do, there was approximately a third of the normal amount of guards wandering round and almost...

I beat this game long long ago on the ps2 and never had this issue, perhaps in upgrading the graphics they updated its glitching out levels. Fantastic game though, don't give up. Although it sounds like it does, in fact, hate you
