I'm kind of surprised Bob didn't mention Life of Pi is based on a book many thought to be un-filmable. I really liked the book, back in high-school, but my tastes and philosophies have changed since then so I'm unsure whether I want to go see the movie. Also, ninja'd, Bob's discription of the...

Off topic I know, but how would a love story be shoe horned in? Valve has already stated she's a love interest and if you pay attention, there are plenty of hints pointing out to an attraction on her side. Go to wikipedia of the halve life wiki page to see what I'm talking about.

That last bit made me laugh. Fair enough! Any ways at this point I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree in large part because in an hour or so I'm shedding all modern contrivances and going camping for the next four days. Take care, nice debating with ya.

I haven't seen the bit, and I'm not that familiar with Daniel Tosh so I can't say for sure. The older I get, the less and less I'm impressed with shock humour because I've realized how easy it is, sort of lazy comedy. I still enjoy the odd South Park episode, and some of the politically...

What, you've never heard the term F me pumps? It is a style thing, but a style woman generally wear to display at least a hint of there sexuality, or at least to appear distinctly feminine, it being a piece of woman's shoe wear. I'm not saying a woman in heels wants to get fucked, I'm saying...

Kay. I always thought she was doing no worse than Indiana Jones. In real life she would be a horrible archeologists, and you're right, a horrible person but very few people want to play a game in which you spend hours in the dirt gently scrubbing a vase with a tooth brush.

Cool. Put that down as a sci fi technology I wish existed FOR REAL! Like jet packs, laser guns and talking monkey best friends.

As I've said, I don't expect everything to be uber realistic, but games do have to work within the rules they make for themselves. In short everything in a game still has to have a certain amount of plausibility, however slight. The example you gave about Gravity Rush, that game seems to have a...

I've heard that argument for Gravity Rush from that detructoid article. Not familiar with that game so can't really comment, but if that's an accurate description of the game, than sure, okay, it's cool. Ashley has no such power to manipulate gravity. Heels on her just feel a little out of...

I'm not coming down on heels in an office setting, for a night out, etc. Ask any female soldier if she wears heels in the heat of battle or would want to and I can't imagine any would say yes because of the whole lack of mobility therefore incresed likelihood of death thing. I could easily...

I've been reading some of your posts and there's an argument I'm surprised you haven't used, which is a lack of characterization in female video game characters is at least partially to do with a lack of great characterization period. You can point to the white short brown haired male archtype...

Leather would be horrible! It doesn't breath, so you'd over heat easily, if you sweat in it it starts to smell, it's tough and doesn't move very well, also, it shrinks when it gets wet. It would also make a lot of noise. I would say spandex, that material they make Lululemon pants out of, or...

I don't see how they're doing so at all, they have just commented on how the response against her kickstarter program has been less than civil. I'm personally not a fan, I find she sometimes presents evidence for her argument out of context and she's a bit too reactionary for my taste but the...

I didn't mind DA2. It wasn't as good as Origins, I see what they were trying to do and I don't think they quite succeeded but overall it wasn't bad. I REALLY fucking hated the repetative environments though, and that brought down the game sigificantly. But I think I'm in a minority, so what do...

Let's try and comprimise, shall we? 1. The scene in the trailer does NOT depict a rape. 2. It does depict an attempted rape and/or sexual assualt. 3. Video games should be allowed to tackle the subject of rape/sexual assualt, like any other medium. 4. Tackling said subject should be done...
