    Better Representing Muslims: A Few Ideas

    I think I understand that in regards to Europe. But the U.S. can't decide whether or not we are a Christian nation, I don't know if it holds up. I think the stereotyped "other," now that Russians, Nazis, Japanese, Native Americans, etc. are no fun, is what is working against us here. Edward...

    Better Representing Muslims: A Few Ideas

    Ugh. This was one of the first things I saw when I started reading this. I'm a Muslim, from Boston, living here, working here... and this is just... Tasteless. OT: I think the original article is pretty on point. We're not senseless killing machines. There are 1 billion plus Muslims in the...

    Ever had a game (or a major portion of a game) that you enjoyed more 2nd time through?

    Hitman Absolution was a great recent example of this for me. I remember playing through the Chinatown level and being really annoyed about how linear it was. That feeling crept through for most of the game. Upon replaying it on a higher difficulty or in the contracts mode, I changed my mind...

    Favorite feel good moment in a game?

    The scene where you get to punch out one of those dairy brothers in Episode 2 of Walking Dead. I was so appalled at EVERYTHING that happened in the episode, and being able to punch him until I didn't want to anymore was one of the best feelings I've had in a videogame. Skip to 5:00 for the...

    Fallout 3 did not ruin the lore established in previous games.

    This is the only thing that is totally off base. McDonalds gets to China through globalization. Because we can now fly on planes and bring our businesses with us. There is no evidence whatsoever that the Capital wasteland and the West Coast are connected AT ALL. In fact, more evidence is brought...

    Have you ever regretted killing a NPC?

    I haven't posted in awhile but this thread popped up and convinced me to hop on: OT: Malak at the end of SW:KOTOR. After everything that happened, learning about becoming Revan, saving all of my friends, turning Bastila back, etc. The game kind of had you convinced that if you were virtuous...

    Cancer cured? Wait...

    You don't just cure cancer. There's more to it then that. Cancer is several different strains there is no one "cancer" but yes, they've been making pretty big advances lately using HIV.

    Underrated bands or artists.

    Do you live in U.S.? (Not meant to be condescending) Everyone's (even my mom) been all over the Keys since their album was named #2 of 2010 by Rolling Stone, just below Kanye. I dig what you listen to though, you seem like you've got pretty sweet taste.

    Underrated bands or artists.

    You need to go to a liberal college campus or any given high school to really understand how untrue this statement is. Bright Eyes is like crack with all the indie underground hipster kids. Edit: Japanther is pretty sweet though, I must agree.

    Pandas: Let them die.

    I just think we should worry about them less because they're so bad at natural selection... but conservation efforts are important, I would like my children to be able to see a Panda as I have, just like any other animal, and not just read about them in a book.

    Poll: Cheating and you

    If you cheat mentally you can still break up the relationship and there is an equal fault on both parties. We're not all destined for each other, I get that. But when you go ahead and ignore their feelings and what they have invested and get with somebody, you're a pretty nasty human being.

    Childish Gambino (Donald Glover [Troy Barnes from Community]) Just... Listen

    How many unfinished games do you have in your video game library?

    Probably between 15-20 if I count Wii and PC. Most of those are PC though, Steam sales kill me, of course I want a 10 hour adventure for 2.50USD!

    Time; do you believe in it?

    I guess I agree in that we have no real way of perceiving time. We have to design devices to portray time accurately. Without the sun/moon cycles I don't believe we would perceive it the same way, if you and I were locked in the same empty room, and had to sit in silence for two days, we would...
