    This is How You Fix RPG Sidequests

    I think that is a good way to handle side quests, especially open world Bethesda style games. I get so incredibly annoyed when "I, the great dragon born savior of Vault city, etc, etc," get stopped in my Daedric power armor and asked to go help Timmy get out of a well two towns over. I'm like...

    8 Great Gifts For the Non-Nerd In Your Life

    Oh look a none funny article about how "nerds" don't understand other people. Seriously, I don't want to be mean but this whole, "Us vs. them" mentality needs to stop. I was really hoping this would be a list of techie ideas for items I could buy for my mom who isn't big into technology, instead...

    WW2 RPG

    Well there was Operation Darkness put out by Atlas back in 2008. It was a Tactical JRPG where there were werewolves and vampires and other ...stuff. It was really bad and I can not recommend that to anybody at all. Still it was a RPG about WW2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Darkness

    Dictators according to Japan

    Why all these views as Japan as some monolithic group that can have only one thought on anything. Capitano Segnaposto stated that on South Park we have Saddam Hussein as some gay guy who has sexy and bosses around Satan. Does the whole American culture view Saddam Hussein like that? No we don't...

I came home with it Saturday morning at like 8 and by Sunday night I had put 30 something hours into it. Beat the game later that week. He couldn't believe it when...

    X-COM Enemy Unknown Difficulty Curve

    I've noticed the same thing. I just finished clearing out the first alien base and now the difficult level has shot through the roof. FYI I'm playing on classic difficult level. I'm frustrated but also loving the fact that I'm frustrated. Fraxis did a great job with this game.

    I recognize that some of your complaints about moderation being unfair or too harsh in the past might be perfectly well founded. However, in the last year that I've been acting as Community Manager I've made a lot of effort to address these complaints, and to make myself constantly available to...

    Why isn't The Escapist up for a webby this year?

    So I got a thing on my facebook about Cracked being nominated for a webby this year and while I was voting for Cracked I thought I'd go vote for the Escapist but when I went to websites-game related, the Escapist wasn't on the list of choices. So what gives? I'm not sure what can be done about...

    Can we talk about the "friend zone" and "nice guys" for a moment?

    Thanks for the comments. I feel a little bit better about the whole thing just from hearing other people perspectives and Tobyonottoby I think is closer to the truth because she did say she wasn't interested but she wasn't sure if she wasn't interested because she was coming out a relationship...
