    Dead State funding.

    Not sure if anyone else is talking about this on the site or forums, but I just thought I'd bring it up. I'm going to post the link to the kickstarter for it here, they're not that far off from their goal which times out July 5th. Just doing something in hopes of seeing this title funded. I hope...

    An Apology or Revenge?

    Depends on how final the retribution. In my time in the US Navy I found that dead pirates have a hard time getting revenge. Which isn't to say one should kill all transgressors. In the world of friendships and relationships some spoken or even unspoken agreement for redemption can be achieved.

    Writing in Games, whats your favorite?

    I'll agree with you on Arcanum, I won't discuss Star Wars, and I totally agree on Loghain. Probably the most interesting cardboard cutout that game had to offer. Really a waste of a talented voice actor on such a poorly animated and rendered model. But as a character he is the one I can relate...

    An Apology or Revenge?

    Revenge generally. Whether it takes the form of deliberate action or future contempt for that individual until they specifically redeem themselves. Forgiveness is weak and invites more transgressions. Forgiveness is a handout, redemption is an action.

    Poll: What do YOU want in a video game

    A little maturity wouldn't hurt. I find alot of mature topics are still handled either stupidly or without any sense of their gravity (romance and sex in recent Bioware games).

    Your opinion on Fallout: New Vegas VS. Fallout 3

    I was disappointed by both honestly. 90s pc gaming they were not. I'll never get back my golden decade(90s).

    The gaming thing, at which point does it become "sad"?

    We really can't say, its never our value judgement because we're judging someone else's actions in contrast to our own. I really must question the reason in assaulting a shut in who does nothing but play video games. When does one even see him if he's sedentary in some burrow?

    "Facts" about movies/shows/games most people don't know.

    Chris Carter(X-Files creator), named an episode after Gillian Andersons(Scully) newborn, Piper Maru.

    Instances of Ballsy Character Design

    Games like Amnesia, where your character is mentally frail and physically helpless. Taking that control away, suddenly eliminates illusions of badassitude from the already generally overcompensating gamer population. Its nice to be told you can shoot someone, and its nice to think you've gotten...

    Instances of Ballsy Character Design

    Hes loosely based on a real guy named John Mullins who was some sort of spec ops person.

    This is Lebron James' $171,000 bill after a night out at the bar

    Another example of people doing something completely unnecessary, and being paid by the vapid interest of the mindless masses to do so.

    Writing in Games, whats your favorite?

    I would agree that there was a good story underlying Arcanum, but it was so muddled because of the virtually unfinished interface that it was hard to tell what had to do with what most of the time. I truly wish that game had been finished. As for KOTOR 2, I never thought I'd meet someone else...

    Writing in Games, whats your favorite?

    Planescape Torment. The only game to send me into a depressive state because I knew when I finished it that I would probably never run into anything like it ever again. And I still haven't.

    Overly emotional behavior. Deliberate stupidity. Socialist/hippie/collectivist/communist/egalitarian tendencies.

    So can someone relieve my fear about the 21st?

    Humanity will more than likely go extinct long before anything of substance(relative) happens to the Earth. And it won't happen quickly, we'll slowly die out, like most of the species on the planet.
