Jim Sterling: Technically Pornography.

I propose the term 'coleslaw' for an extra effect that exists without interrupting gameplay. When i go to a diner and order a burger, they always offer coleslaw and a pickle on a seperate, tiny bowl-plate (for the record, they offer this for other sandwiches, as well). A pickle i can...

I should like to add to this list Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing. I guess Tetris and similar puzzle games also count, unless you think blocks slamming down and lines phasing out of existence is violent.

You know, between two Mana Bars, two Escapist paychecks, and his book dealings, Yahtzee probably has a fair chunk of change kicking around. If he really wanted to, he could probably give an indie game developer or two a fair jumpstart of funding. Might not add to much considering what they could...

Katangatari. Cheerio!

I'm no good at debates, 'cause i like to cut right to the point. To wit: as long as there are spiders to kill and oil to be changed, men will always have a place in the world.

Interconnectedness of all things? But what does Deus Ex have to do with you looking for my dead cat?

Wait, the eye of a storm is calm; wouldn't the eye of a sequel storm, therefore, have no sequels flying about? Actually, now that i think about it, i'm gonna edit something else in: New Vegas is already episodic. Episode one: you wake up in Goodsprings and get your barrings, killing geckos...

Okage: Shadow King. Wasn't worth remembering, really, but it looked interesting. Oh, and the reason they mentioned nothing about 'Devil Kings' is because that was a made-up title for the translation when they changed the Japanese history shenanigans to DMC crap. If you really liked it, you'd...

But the stereotype exists because it, for the most part, applies: people who consider themselves gamers are the greasy, socially-inept neckbeards that you very pointedly go out of the way to state you yourself are not. Hell, they wouldn't go to a bar to begin with, since they're, as previously...

The black wind howls... -Magus, Chrono Trigger

There's a character in Star Ocean: The Second Story named Leon Geeste. His equippable weapon is books, which is by no means unique in JRPGs, but he fights with it by opening it wide, and having an ethreal valkyrie pop out and slash at the monsters. Also, he has a trident-throwing nereid for...

I don't really like slasher movies, but i gotta go with Krueger. He has a fucked-up sense of humor to go with his wanton slaughter. Almost as if the killings are justified through ironic punishment.

Not to roll out the Japan bandwagon, but there's a japanese series of voice synthesizers known as Vocaloids, which are programmed using the voices of famous voice actors and singers. Admittedly, they sound like a robot-fetishist's wet dream, but they at least work well enough to have an absurd...

Dan Hibiki, without question. Everything needs more super taunt.
