    The Big Picture: Remembering the Real Jack Thompson

    Honestly I can't really remember the last time he talked about a game as a game and not as a cultural piece. The last time I can remember was when he called "Metroid: Other M" a pretty good game and "At least it wasn't another damn fps" when talking about Prime. It was there that to me he lost...

    The Most Dangerous Woman in Videogames - Anita Sarkeesian

    I really do think there is a problem with lack of gender inclusion in the mainstream industry, however I think that she is going about her points the wrong way. Many times in one of her videos she was discussing a lack of agency that the female characters had, where they were not the...

    Do wild pokemon die?

    In Black and White they mentioned that the pokemon centers only rest the pokemon, so I think its a matter of a pokemon would wake up fine after a rest, and all the centers do is speed that up.

    What Do You Name Your RPG Characters?

    Generally things rather lore friendly. My default fantasy name is Lratos with an ulmat over the "a". But in Fallout my characters are generally hairy men named Jean, and my persona character name was Keichi Asano. Overall i try to keep a name that is friendly with the lore of the game.

    Tropes vs Women SECOND VIDEO - "Damsel in Distress: Part 2"

    So far my main issue with her is still a lack of context in the examples. I realize that she admitted that she did not accurately represent the context for many of the games, but that still does not really excuse misrepresenting them to that degree. And Im not sure if it's my own hang ups...

    Could some one explain Final Fantasy XIII plot to me?

    Basic summary is more or less Space pope: "NOW, DESTROY THE WORLD BY KILLING ME AND FULFILL YOU DESTINY!" Party: "NO! We will save the world! By destroying you!"

    Name/Gender/Class: Matthew Shepard, Male, Vanguard Background: Spacer/War Hero Paragon/Renegade: Did his best to be a peacemaker, always giving people exactly one chance to back down before blowing them up. Until Mass Effect 3, where he realized he cannot save everyone and worked toward...

    Best Character Creator

    Recently, I have taken an interest in art, as in drawing. So far, I have been doing it for about 10 hours a week, and am getting to the point where my people look like people. Now, I do not yet think that I am at the level that I can create a character unassisted, but I still would like to...

    Recommend me some anime.

    They've already been mentioned, but im gonna recommend Gurren Lagann as the single most epic thing I have ever seen, Baccano is essentially what would happen in Quentin Tarantino made an anime Darker than Black is what Heroes was supposed to be, Puella Magi Madoka Magica may be a bit more...

    LoadingReadyRun: Wizard Chat

    As a staff user, I can still see the appeal of a wand, i just personally need the raw power and channeling that a staff can provide rather than the delicacy of a wand. On the topic of rings however, in my opinion a good rule of thumb is one ring per hand. Any more than that and you run the...

    LoadingReadyRun: Wizard Chat

    As more of an adventuring sort myself, I do prefer the feel of a good staff and hooded robe, but that's mostly for convenience and for remaining relatively anonymous, especially around areas that are less friendly to us Wizard types. To that end, I also have a sword strapped to my side as...

    The Uncertain Future

    You know, i would be more inclined to agree, if the tagline for the file was not "To fight monsters, we created monsters." That line is very reminiscent of some of the themes of Evangelion before the end where..... well.... Shit got weird. If they dive more into that it will be a lot closer to...

    The Uncertain Future

    What sad thing should I do next?

    May I just say as OP that when i said that Katawa Shoujo nearly got me to cry it was from Hanako's good ending? Seriously, i was looking for an option to have Hisao step in front of a bus for what i made him do.... Back OT, I saw that several people reccomended Grave of the Fireflies, but i...

    What sad thing should I do next?

    I have never cried while watching a movie, playing a game, or anything of the sort. I would like to change that. In the last few years, I have watched most of what people called the saddest things, but I have yet to break down... Granted, that is not to say that nothing has brought me...
