The plant is more commonly known these days by its developed variant, canola and violation through ultra-violence is just as problematic as rape. Read or watch "A Clockwork Orange" if you don't believe me.

If you're in doubt, don't do it. I reckon pwn is a better word for mercilessly achieving victory and it doesn't cause problems if anyone else overhears it.

I've found a copy of Ico, but still no sign of Shadow of the Colossus

I can be found as Sols_Light on PSN and I know exactly what you mean about Bone Head. That fight is a real wall you come against at the point you reach it, because it's much tougher than the vast majority of quests. Even if you go do all the other quests first (I highly, highly recommend...

The funny thing is, I've heard he was originally meant to be, but the Japanese bosses thought it was too much of a risk not to include a blank teenage male protagonist. If you excise Vaan and the first section of the game in Rabanastre, replacing it with Basch's guilt about having to kill, the...

I agree Kratos is a markedly different man between GoW I and II and that's what makes the story in Chains of Olympus so important. The emotional part of that story was what finally made me understand why Kratos' anger is so personal post GoW I. It really is wrenchingly emotional and powerful...

VI wins by a long margin for me. After that as Enigmers said above me I have to give it to IX and XII for bringing back some of the elements of fun and whimsy into the story. Look, I appreciate what VII did at the time by killing off a playable character, it was a groundbreaking moment and...

I was going with weasel because he's actively done underhanded things for Atkinson, but is not so politically aligned with him as to be called a snake. Though from over here in Victoria, there may be things I don't know about. Jellyfish for me would more have been passive support of the...

I agree about the similar interests. There are plenty of exceptions, but if we're going with stereotypes, most women in general prefer co-op experiences to competitive ones and co-op is the foundation for a good relationship. Sometimes you want to get the health pack, but she needs it more...

The breakdown I've read was mostly weasel, Rann is from the same faction as Atkinson (he's the one who got Atkinson's $210,000 in legal fees paid for by SA taxpayers). Whether he agrees with Atkinson on all policy matters is uncertain, but there's definitely factional loyalty, both are members...

The article states he's making room for younger (and hopefully more progressive) members in important position on the front bench (our big portfolios such as Attorney-General). No doubt, whoever replaces him will still be a little right-wing as Australian politics are messy. In American...

General rule for longer relationships seems to be one less time period than how long the relationship lasted, but yours sounds like it might have been shorter. So a three year relationship takes around three months to clear your head enough to really get out there, usually. Three month...

Actually, I can think of Console-RPG (JRPG) style games on PC in the Laxius Power series, even though they're not commerically produced. They have a very traditional Console RPG feel, the requisite action, puzzle and strange world elements although they are fairly NSFW, which isn't usually the...

JRPGs do tend to be console based. However Final Fantasy VII and VIII do exist for PC, but are a bit dated graphically. Baldur's Gate, or anything else from BioWare or Bethesda are WRPGs, because they're about all the Western World has to offer. It would help if I knew a little more about...

It's interesting to think about this. The more I do, the more I realise what I'm after is non-genderspecific. The ability to express yourself without only relying on words is key. Dress sense, movement and the right gestures or smiles will easily win me over. I'm also a sucker for someone...
