I think it's more helpful if you see visual novels as a separate art form; not a comic book or video game, just its own distinct thing. Like both those two, there's a lot of variance, as stated above. It can be mildly gameplay-based with some interaction in the environment itself to affect the...

Yasuo from League of Legends. He's kind of that perfect trinity of woobiness, kindness and snarkiness that would be honestly be interesting, if not fun, to be around. Though his drinking might be a problem.

Silent Hill, because most of the games provide something incredibly unique to me. Survival Horror is a nice genre to me, but nothing feels quite as uncanny or unnerving like this series. Even low points like Homecoming and SH4, I can still find a lot to like about them.

Aw, don't say that. :( BTW, I don't know too much about playing drums, but I thought drums didn't really need sheet music or liner notes.

I'm classically trained in piano and only piano... But thanks to the magic of MIDI keyboards, I can kinda play ever instrument ever. Kinda. Maybe. I'enno.

Uh, no, I'm not single. Totally not. Everybody wants me here, but I'm occupied! Can't you tell? I've totally never been single for the last 6 years or anything! Yeah! ...oh fuck it, I'm not kidding anyone. *wallow*

Any joke that's being told by someone who has no idea how to handle the subject material is pretty much dead on arrival. I don't inherently hate rape jokes or racism jokes directly, I just hate the way that the joke is usually told, i.e. in an overly mean-spirited or...

I'm normally against killing bugs, but considering that there are more insects out there than people and how creepy they are, I usually swat them out of a combination of reflex and fear. I know, I'm probably a horrible person. :(

It's kinda annoying, but the important thing is that it's not because of the fact that it's a same sex couple, because let's face it, the only people against that are ignorantly prejudiced twits; it's just the "public signs of affection" part that bothers me. It's just ew-ish, regardless of the...

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was probably the first game I found to be as large as the gaming community sees all great games, but I think the game that solidified that for me was the first Bioshock.

You know that episode of Futurama satirizing how people have turned into zombies to buy the same shit over again? Yeah, a lot of people say that episode is kinda generic, and they're probably right, but I'll be damned if that hasn't turned for the completely accurate right now. The iPhone 6...

3 Reasons: 1. I can feel completely justify nicknaming him Po. 2. I love how the design of a bear mixed with a bancho. Look at that bitchin' longcoat-thing. 3. I love bears. Because.

Reiteration: That's been the most common demographic, so they provide games for it. Course, if you think this is a chicken/egg concept; males are apparently more tuned towards power fantasies. Granted, I don't believe that it's as simple as what zen above made it out to be, nor as blanketed, but...

As Yahtzee once pointed out, there are 3 distinct types of horror: one just has blatantly shove-in-your-face scary jumpscare imagery, another relies more on gore and sharp shock value, but then there's a type that relies on the anticipation of something frightening rather than just the payoff...
