    Can you recommend an anime for a non-anime lover?

    If you're looking for something that's more of a light-hearted comedy, I can't recommend Cromartie High School enough. It's a brutal satire of school-set animes interspersed with Seinfeldian ramblings. Also, Freddie Mercury is a central character. Freddie Fucking Mercury.

    Poll: Buying Beyond Two Souls? Strong female protagonist included and discussion.

    From what I gather, you're running a ceteris paribus argument with shit-pies. First time, people buy "cherry crap pies;" second time around, if no one buys the "apple crap pies," then--according to you--it can ONLY MEAN that people like cherry more than apple. Stop and think about how insane...

    Poll: Buying Beyond Two Souls? Strong female protagonist included and discussion.

    That's like me making shit pie and then, after no one wants it, I conclude that no one actually likes pie. It's a bullshit benchmark.

    Whats with the recent use of Luchadores in video games?

    Because luchadores are rad as shit. End of discussion.

    The Red Cross Wants Games to Respect The "Rules of War"

    I would sincerely hope that clothing is not one of them.

    Poll: Buying Beyond Two Souls? Strong female protagonist included and discussion.

    With all due respect, point-and-click adventure games have actual thought put into the game design. A well made inventory puzzle can be a beautiful thing. Indigo Prophecy was a prolonged, agonizing game of Simon Says, and Heavy Rain is basically a game of QTEs (part two of a Song of Cage and...

    Poll: Buying Beyond Two Souls? Strong female protagonist included and discussion.

    Somewhere in there, I get the suspicion that you intend to use BTS as a benchmark of how much people want games with strong female protagonists. I advise against this, mostly because David Cage is a blithering idiot who writes female characters with about as much authenticity and depth as one...

    The Red Cross Wants Games to Respect The "Rules of War"

    Presumably, they didn't feel the need to mandate that people don't wear toxic clothing. Probably for the same reason they didn't specifically ban eating one's own fecal matter when good food is readily available. Just one of those things, really.

    The Red Cross Wants Games to Respect The "Rules of War"

    As someone with a brother, father, and very close friend who either were or are in the army infantry, along with many, many acquaintances throughout most every branch in both combat and non-combat roles, I realize that when Joes are talking about work, you don't exactly get to call shenanigans...

    The Red Cross Wants Games to Respect The "Rules of War"

    I'm going to take a moment to diverge from the closest thing to a current topic (whether international standards prohibiting war crimes are somehow absurd) and go back to the original question posed by the article: "Do developers have an ethical obligation to at least suggest players hold...

    The Red Cross Wants Games to Respect The "Rules of War"

    I call shenanigans on the whole "Geneva Convention disallows troops to use bulletproof helmets and sideplates" business. The only mention of anything close to what you're saying in the actual texts of the conventions is a provision allowing for POWs to keep their helmets as their personal...

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    I'm just gonna go ahead and say... Insisting that someone has a certain skin color before you'll consider dating them is pretty much just like insisting someone has a certain eye or hair color: it reflects a certain shallowness and superficiality on the part of the person making the demand...

    The Red Cross Wants Games to Respect The "Rules of War"

    You know, I realized something today. Today, I learned that the vast majority of people on these forums don't know the difference between "Bill thinks Ted should stop drinking so much" and "Bill thinks there ought to be a law stopping Ted from drinking so much." Today, I learned that, when...

    Sequels that destroyed their great predecessors

    Resident Evil 4. A thousand times Resident Evil 4. The first three (or however the hell many, depending on how you count)are, frankly, a bit of a mess: controls, scare-value, story, characters, gameplay mechanics--you name it, RE4 did a much better job. Yes, the story is still silly, but...

    can someone please explain american football to me?

    As an American, there is one thing I can tell you with at least some degree of confidence. Despite its name, American Football is more similar to another predominantly European sport than "European" football. I am, of course, referring to parliamentary democracy. Also, wtf is rugby?
