It makes you wonder how Hollywood manages to make any historic movies. You can't do a movie about 14th century England because 14th century England wasn't ethnically diverse and the casting calls would be declared "racist".

Mario anything. No, seriously. I hate platform jumpers and the heart of Mario is platform jumping. There's little strategy to it, little enough action as well (at least by my definition of "action") -- it's just timing and pushing a button. I could understand an argument that it's...

I don't see why not. But they would have to make the combat model. CRPGs are "decision based" combat where you have to decide which of your, literally, 30 buttons is best. Console MMORPGs should have combat that's based more strongly on tactical positioning and movement. Rather than 15...

That's definitely a stigma the industry will have to deal with. Games like EVE and World War II Online have proven that a game can survive forever with a niche fanbase. There's no NEED to go F2P. The Pirates devs stated that they could have continued on with the current model for the...

Bravery = knowingly taking a risk (or actual self-sacrifice) for an intended purpose, where there was no other reasonable alternative, or otherwise taking action instead of gibbering in a corner and meeting your doom in a puddle of your own urine and vomit. Stupidity = unknowingly taking a...

If you're not washing (by which I assume you mean not bathing) and thus are stinky, then that's inconsiderate/disrespectful towards other people. If you're not washing your hands then you're increasing your (and thus other people's) likelihood of getting sick off of something. If you have...

Regarding "thoughts of killing people", it reminds me of something Joss Whedon once said... he was writing a particularly nasty episode involving torture and he wondered if it made him a bad person that he could think of things like this. I say no. To put it in extremely dorky D&D terms...

Now this raises an interesting point - is it "mental illness" to not get along well with society? To not care what society thinks? What we're really talking about here is lack of consideration towards others -- rudeness. I believe that consideration towards others is something that can be...

As an armchair gamer with no credibility, I would tend to agree. Physical abnormalities are one thing. If there is something physically wrong with you that your brain can't function correctly, can't manufacture the proper chemicals, etc, then this is a serious medical issue and chemical...

Incidentally, the most important vehicle in the game is the AMS -- the mobile spawn point. It's the crux of many battles and your team tends to lose if you don't have enough people driving them. Ideally, people who do not like vehicles should get the AMS, since the idea is you drive it...
