So um...what do you think is better? Black or whites?

I was under the impression that feminists have seen the embrace of female sexuality as an advancement for women's rights against the oppressive moralism of certain chauvinistic religions. How do you appropriately distinguish this from objectification?

Maniac Mansion. Yes baby :)

I am very glad to hear that he liked Final Fantasy VI. That was the golden age for JRPGS, since then they've gone down the tubes. Ahhh, Chrono Trigger.

Currently have one, going on two years. We're both pretty chill. She likes to hang out with me while I play games although she isn't into anything beyond tetris/bejewelled. I actually prefer that...girls often seem to obsess over games more than guys do. I had a previous girlfriend who was...

This thread is quickly devolving into a confessional for people's bad tastes.

I'm reading a bunch of books about the nature of Art for a class I'm taking. Really interesting stuff so far. I think people should really spend more time thinking about what art is (since we consume so much of it) instead of just taking it for granted. Currently I'm on 'What is Art' by Leo...

Didn't bother to read anything past the OP. My advice would be, just go for it! Women are more attracted to confidence than physical features anyway. I've had lots of overweight friends who have dated/married attractive girls, because they're great guys and they're confident in who they...

Being single can be great, but being with someone can be great too. It's really about what you make of your situation. That being said, I'm finding that there are a lot of things that a good relationship has that you just can't experience on your own. On the other hand, there are a lot of...

The fact that you are asking this question on a gaming forum might say something about why you don't care. It's in relationships that we find meaning, and you won't find those behind the pixels on your computer screen.

cuddly_tomato defended his side with logical arguments and good citations, and you respond with...this? Who is the troll?

This is such an absurd misstatement I don't even know where to begin. Let me ask you this: Would you care more about how you live your life if you thought that what you do here impacts eternity? Or if what you do here will ultimately end up in non-existence? Your statement reflects the...

First, the question is rather vague. What do you mean by 'value'? Who sees more purpose in human life? Who cares more about averting death? Or even who has a stronger idea of 'the good life'? I think that having a transcendental (or religious) view of the world will almost always result...

No offense but gamers really shouldn't be drinking energy drinks. They aren't very healthy, especially if you aren't very physically active. That being said, I enjoy the Monsters that come in a green can.

Yes they're old, and my judgment is probably tainted by nostalgia, but I think that Monkey Island and Crono Trigger are two of the greatest games I've ever played. There are few games that I always enjoy returning to, and both of these qualify.
