    Weigh In On The Games As Art Debate

    To quote Penny Arcade: "If a hundred artists create art for five years, how could the result not be art?"

    sad fact. as of the 25th doraleous & associates will have been gone for a year :(

    Games that Actually Scared You

    What happens during a loading screen? I never played #2, but I was always really nervous when the Resident Evil door animations played. OT: Fatal Frame and Penumbra. Haven't played Amnesia yet, but it looks pretty damn scary as well. Also that one part in Eternal Darkness. I won't ruin it...

    Justin Bieber-rolled?

    So either everyone's profile pic's been replaced by Justin Bieber, or I'm having some sort of stroke and should be heading to a hospital. My computer doesn't think it's April 1st, so what's the dealio? Edit: no water bottles please.

    Poll: To make a God.

    A god who wiped his/her own memory would be a pretty awesome twist on the videogame amnesia trope. I think if the person were literally omnipotent, they could just make themselves content. Still might not turn out well for humanity though... Earth's spokesperson: "Since you granted everyone...

    Looking for a new anime, but the is problem I hate most animes.

    It doesn't really have fight scenes, but I really liked Death Note, and I'm not a huge anime fan either. I haven't watched Code Geass but I hear it's quite similar to Death Note.

    If Optimus Prime was a _______, he'd be Optimus _______

    Actually CplDustov is correct. 0D is a dot, 1D is a line, and 2D is a plane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-dimensional OT: if Optimus Prime carried passangers, he'd be Omnibus Prime. If Optimus Prime could transform into a knight, a thief and a wizard, he'd be Optimus Trine.

    Nintendo is not cool

    Yeah, it's true that Nintendo games don't tend to have deep or compelling stories, but I don't generally play games for the story, and I definitely don't play Mario for the story. At least Nintendo's stories are straightforward enough not to detract from the experience with cringe-worthy...

    Nintendo is not cool

    For the record, Nintendo didn't make the Power Glove, although it was officially licensed. And they did make the Virtual Boy, so yeah their history is hardly untarnished, but what else can you expect of a company that's more than a century old (not even joking). I agree that for quite a while...

    Right. We're all art critics now.

    Pac-Man tells the heart-wrenching tale of an overweight man haunted by the ghosts of his past mistakes. His only way of coping is through drug abuse and binge eating as he hopelessly tries to escape the maze of his own depression. The game paints a bleak portrait of the futility of existence...

    Story Writing Advice

    Most stories have an internal conflict and an external conflict. The external conflict might be the hero defeating the villain or winning over the girl, the internal conflict is more subtle and involves the hero grappling with inner demons and changing as a character. The internal and...
