    Empathy and Sympathy In Game Design

    Agreed, interesting point. I unfortunately haven't played half of the games you're referring to, but I get the point even without the examples. For me the two terms exemplify themselves in two closely related games (due to having the same developer, and being the same main genre): DA:O and...

    Poll: Game Wikis

    I don't contribute myself, because in order to do that, I would have to feel like I know enough about the subject - "enough" being "more than the other people who are here". When I stumble upon a wiki, it's usually because I'm looking for something, and I have a question - not the answer. I...

    Poll: When was your first boyfriend/girlfriend?

    First one, I think I was around 15. He was my first kiss as well, but other than that one accomplishment, he didn't leave too much of a impact. Only the note to self "Don't go down that road again", heh.

    What's the Best Soundtrack You Have Ever Heard in a Game

    For reasons unknown, no one has mentioned the AoC soundtrack! I also agree with Shadow of the Colossus. I never played the game and whether game music speaks to me is most often a matter of nostalgia and/or remembering a certain scene or mood along with the music, but SotC's OST touched me...

    Poll: What did you do in the call of duty no russian mission

    I shot them all, didn't feel all that bad. Only slightly. But I know the difference between pixels and real human beings, so worry not! When the game ended, I actually wondered which mission it was the game had warned me about in the start... (I didn't read about the game before buying it, so...

    The Next Game on Your List

    Dragon Age: Origins is my next "game to play" as well. My boyfriend says I can borrow it, but he wants to borrow my CoD: MW2 in exchange... fat chance. Guess I'll have to sneak DA:O out of his place.

    Demos you admit made you buy the full game.

    I hardly ever play demos (although I probably should do it more), so the only one I can think of was Plants vs. Zombies on Steam. Downloaded the one hour ( ? ) demo (where you played the actual game), bought the game when it was released, played 45hours of it in a week, completed it, then never...

    Do you "own" your username?

    The one I use here (Nimirum) is just me that I've seen so far. Nimirum means a sarcastic "okay" in latin, but can also mean not strange/wonderful/surprising, although I picked it for the former... obviously. However, the name I usually go by is Cado, but on most forums/services it has...

    Do we hold individuals to a higher standard after their masterpiece?

    I do think there's a widespread tendency to compare games to earlier games either in the series, games from the same developer or other developers and sometimes even across genres. Comparing is natural, it's how we define what a "good/great game" means to us, but there's the danger of setting...

    NPC you couldn't bring yourself to kill or mourned the death of

    Ghouls from Fallout 3. Due to a tight economy I chose to murder the female ghoul Greta in order to get Charon's work contract... it felt so bad to do it. Her corpse even persisted in lying outside the Underworld all through the game, just to remind me to feel bad about myself. I also tried...

    Worst Voice Actors

    I am not sure if the actors playing Tidus and Yuna in FFX were ever in the same room when voice acting their dialogue/conversations... Aside from that, Conan from the Conan game for PS3 (and other platforms), voice acted by Ron Perlman. *shudder* (Just look at him, he is so not a Conan) I...
