Kill it. Kill it now while it is still in the womb!

Only with better indoor plumbing perhaps? Or do modern lavvies corrupt the spirits of the proles and lead to the unimaginable evils of single parents?

The head-bangingly stupid part of this (well, one of them) is one main reasons everyone started giving a damn about the GTA games in the first place was their identification with existing violence-idealising media like Taxi Driver, Scarface, Goodfellas - stuff that was around in the idealised...

Stephen Fry makes me happy-tingle all over.

My problem with JRPGs personally is that, too often, the combat is essentially a roadblock, throwing cookie cutter monsters at your party in a fight you are never in much danger of losing and over which strategy is rarely more intricate than knowing the magic bullet weakness for a particular...

Memento deserves a mention here.

Slight correction, Moore never intended Rorschach to be an objectivist in any meaningful sense, since he did not and probably still doesn't know what Objectivism is, it being a predominantly American thing in my experience. He was very much a direct response to Ditko's comics. I'm not sure...

One of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us. Yeahhh, as someone who mostly plays purely PC, I have to say I do it more from the practicallity standpoint than any ideology. Its true there are some genres where PCs get all the cheese, and some things they are...

Bullcrap. Catering to fans is exactly what they're bloody doing there. If the writer(s?) actually had the guts to state influence as their criteria, the list could at least lead into a potentially interesting discussion over to what extent it is correct in those criteria. They just seemed to...

I think it is cool and the kitten I ate today agrees.
