While I have both games, I have, admittedly, played very little of TERA. This is because I have an older computer and TERA is apparently an eldritch invocation to the Lag Gods. While both have some very lovely aesthetics, GW2 gets my vote based on one thing: the community. I played GW1 (it...

I used to be big on sodas when I was a kid but, since my early teens, I've all but given up the fizzies for coffee and tea. I won't use the little coffee satchets, even though we do have the machine for them, but we buy bags of either pre-ground coffee or beans, whichever is more affordable...

I read a lot of dark stuff, so I'll spare you the useless book list that would come of digging into that particular well. However, I could certainly recommend that you look into Mercedes Lackey. A lot of fantasy, good humor and her Five-Hundred Kingdoms series is a joy. Good luck finding more...

I don't think I can adequately explain how disappointed I was that the big bad of the new expansion is... *drumroll*... the damned Burning Legion. Again. It feels to me like Blizzard is just rehashing its own ideas, over and over again. If not the Burning Legion, then it's Orcs, if not Orcs...

Honestly, I'm kind of scared at how often I get "I Can't Decide" by the Scissor Sisters stuck in my brain. Catchy as hell, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfl-CfEQcew ... Because I can't figure out how to make it show the video and I reek of n00bishness.

Personally, I never really fully recovered from 'Shadow of the Colossus', but not sure that would fit the bill for the OP. *thinks* Red Dead Redemption was kind of a kick in the feels too.

Oh Gods, I'm sure there are a few, but the one that sticks in my mind the best that nobody I know has ever heard of was the Nintendo video game adaptation of the cartoon, "Bucky O'Hare".

To my knowledge, it has a lot to do with how your typical con presents itself, which is to say that it seems to cater to your young, caucasian, heterosexual and cisgender males. I've heard so many accounts of how these typical conventions do have rules in place to protect everyone and make it...

Personally, I think it's foolish to shame anyone over something so silly like what they choose to wear. Clothing styles and trends come and go; people should be judged on their actions, if anything. That said, while I did think the example with the miniskirt was easy to grasp, you can't...

I want to say Tonberry King from FFVIII, but I think I have to go with Carbuncle from the same game, due to it being 'involuntary squee'ing for 3 hours' adorable. <3

I think I would have to go with Fullmetal Alchemist, though I'm torn between that and Air Gear. Both just seem like they would be close enough to "normal" that I wouldn't suffer a complete shock to the system, but just different enough to be more interesting than the real world. However...

If I had the money to spare, I would donate it to help bury remains, whether or not they're military. My city already has enough trouble when it comes to storing the remains of those who have no family or friends. Unfortunately, in this economy and with this idiotic shutdown, I don't see this...

Here's the thing. Most of the women I hear complaining about how females are portrayed in video games don't have access to all the money, ability to code, artistic talent, et cetera to just be able to go make their own games with protagonists that they've created. I know it's a wonderful...

Just my own opinion here, but I've always thought of it this way: evolution has made things what they are today, but the fact that life even sprang up on this big, blue marble has me thinking that there has to be something nudging evolution along.

Personally, I think this is a pretty sticky topic. On the one hand, I'm from the time where if you were being bullied and picked on, you either stood up for yourself and hoped for the best, or you just dealt with it until you could get away from it. I was bullied in high school. Rough...
