If you're looking for a sci-fi equivalent and enjoy Star Wars, I'd recommend at least the first Knights of the Old Republic. The writing is pretty solid, the system is a pretty basic and easy to pick up d20 system, and the gameplay is alright, nothing too special but still enjoyable. The second...

I recognize that the Escapist isn't exactly a news site by any means, even in the gaming/entertainment media. I've noticed an increasing trend though where some of the news posts have been incredibly biased and filled with writer opinions being portrayed as facts. I really first noticed it a few...

In a sense, I agree with what you said, but it is the last part that irks me a little. This thread probably wouldn't exist if people always stayed true to the source material as the original TMNT comics are vastly different compared to the stuff in the 80's that really popularized the franchise...

Marty Stu is still a pretty popular thing too, it even has a tvtropes page (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MartyStu) I've also heard it get thrown around somewhat often for male characters, with the most notable example being Harry Potter. I do believe that Mary Sue gets thrown...

Interesting point bringing up Van Gogh, an artist who struggled financially and killed himself. His art certainly isn't worthless today, but it wasn't until years after his death that it really had any value. Admittedly, it's hard to say whether or not fame and fortune would have helped him...

Based off what you provided, no, your father is not justified. There are some key pieces missing however, and I don't want to go off on you but dude...WTF? I know its an incredibly stressful situation, but -you- need to step up too, your whole entire family does. Your dad be damned if he gets...

I don't mean to sound like a dick, but based off of your initial postings/general view you've presented, you're not going to "make it big" for lack of a better term as an online reviewer. This is of course not a bad thing, many people underestimate professional online reviewing, it isn't just a...

So, to sum up the OP, you're disappointed because the Star Wars MMO is designed like an MMO. Actually, it seems like you're peeved that it doesn't have a housing system as that was really the only valid complaint I saw in there and the only example you gave of how you can make an impact on a...

I was expecting to be posting a snarky reply to a pathetic post but that isn't the case. 8 years is a damn long time, especially if its someone you proposed to. As its already been said it'll just take some time, I know 4 months seems like awhile but not so much when compared to 8 years. It...

Just randomly ask her out one day. Don't think so much about it, don't over analyze it, don't even plan to do it in a specific fashion, just take the opportunity when it comes up and hope for the best.

I sort of contradict myself, I'm 100% for open relationships, but can never see myself being in one/being part of one. I don't think there's anything wrong with it just *shrugs* not my style. I'll thumbs up towards casual sex though, used to treasure it more but really I think that was just...

So umm...why'd he stop trying to kill you? Did he think you were some kind of blanket monster after that or was he using one of those fancy new fangled 4 shooters? Also, getting cover isn't something games should teach you...that's common sense. Really, the only thing gaming ever gave me was...

I didn't look at your pics, but I don't need to as I'm guessing this is really just a personality issue. That's not to say that you shouldn't strive to look physically appealing and it will certainly help in the end but if you're looking for an actual relationship then you need more then just...

I apologize if its been posted already, just skimmed the threads. More often then not, at least in fantasy/sci-fi games religion can be portrayed as evil because of the way those worlds work. Games need huge powerful enemies, and there's not supposed to be anything that tops gods, and in...

Why not, I have bigger issues to worry about in life anyway. ...like the fact I'm dating my sister.
