Nights of Viljamur by Mark Charon Newton. I have never seen such a complete hot mess before. The writing is lazy, the characters are inconsistent, and there is so much ridiculous misogyny at play I could barely get through it.

This is my favourite comment. I'm a huge Bioware fan. I even loved DA2. And I'm so pumped for this ending and the lack of an easy way out that I could pee my pants. I appreciate how Bioware doesn't give a sweet fuck. If they go down, they'll be doing it with twin middle fingers held...

5. Chrono Trigger 4. Final Fantasy XII (yes, 12.) 3. Dragon Age 2 (yes, 2.) 2. Super Mario Bros 3. 1. Odin Sphere Honourable Mentions: Bastion, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, Tales of the Abyss, Dragon Age: Origins, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

I have no interest in these new features. However, I do want a Vita and have for a while, so whatever.

I would absolutely date a transgendered person if they were someone I was attracted to and who I could get along with on a personal level. That said, I'm pretty much a Kinsey 3 bisexual, so my opinion may weight less than someone else's? I like both types of junk.

I hate to break this exceedingly obvious headline to you, buddy, but you're defintely not choosing to be gay. Everything you've just described has been pretty much "I bi and prefer guys, give me a cookie." What you're describing it something innate. The only choice you're making is to actively...

Suicide is murder in the same way that masturbation is rape. The crime lies in the lack of consent and enforcing your will on someone else's life in a damaging or destructive way. Suicide is obviously not cool and it would be better if people tried not to do it, but calling it a crime is silly.

I know it's the "wrong answer" but there's no contest here: FFXII. 12 captivated me from start to finish. Combat, side missions, exploration and dungeon flow. I loved the highly political story and the cast. Sure, I wasn't nuts about Vaan -- who was? -- but the fact is, he wasn't the real main...

To me there's only two thing that defines an RPG: 1. Progression. Your character will start out weak and grow in power as the game goes on. Sometimes you'll have a role in deciding which direction they will gain power in, and sometimes you won't. But if you don't quantitatively get better in...

I'm way more tired of people who are tired of the FPS genre. I don't like FPSes, I don't play them, I hate the gameplay. The only thing that could be even vaguely considering an FPS that I've ever liked, old gen or new gen, is Uncharted. I don't like CoD, I don't like Unreal, I don't like BF...

Hm the only one I can really think of, personally, is Catherine. I really enjoyed the first 75% of the game, but I didn't find it all came together in ANY of the endings. It all basically starts to fall to pieces after Katherine leaves Vincent, and everything after that is just one...

You can enjoy the Spirit of Christmas without being a Santa lover. I love Christmas more than anybody I know. My mother always says that I turn into an eight year old for the entire month of December. I check the weather every day hoping for snow. I live alone, but have always decorated my...

I'm not having kids because I don't have any interest in devoting eighteen years of my life to taking care of them. That's a level of commitment that I just am not interested in. I'll borrow my sister's and spoil them rotten, instead. Best of both worlds. That said, if I did, I probably wouldn't...

I love Bioware now, and I always have. They're a good developer who focus on story and write the best dialogue and characters in the industry. That alone trumps whatever business decisions they might make. I don't care for the Mass Effect series, because I don't like the genre, but I realize...

Just as a comment on this, many women find more slender and boyish men more attractive than hypermasculine ones. Unlike Western games, which try to appeal mostly to male ideals (super masculine men and skinny big-breasted women), Eastern games make the men appeal to women and the women appeal to...
