    Respecting "opinions," frustration, and media influence?

    If I may generalize this away from game reviews, or indeed reviews of anything, the amount an opinion matters is really up to you. Of course each and every person is entitled to have an opinion amount thing X - even those who have no experience with it whatsoever. It is up to you, however, to...

    Dark Souls 2: Not as hard as people claim?

    As most people have said already, the difficulty of the game is greatly exaggerated by the people who talk about it. Secondarily, if you know how to approach it (ie slow, careful, patiently) you will be absolutely fine. The majority of deaths in the Souls series come from not being patient...

    Why do people seem to think Gamepads are better than KB+M?

    Personally, a controller feels much more organic in my hands. Whenever I sit down to play a game, am activity I'm supposed to enjoy doing in my down time, I want to be comfortable and relaxed. To that end, holding a controller on my lap as I sink ever farther into my couch with a bowl of chips...

    Solar Roadways Seeks $1M to Replace Streets with Solar Panels

    The amount of energy lost is on such a minute scale that it won't have an effect. Compare this to oil. We remove millions upon millions of barrels from our Earth every day. Even more of it is burned, turning mass into energy, adding heat, light, and kinetic energy to systems. This, on the whole...

    Absolutely Fed Up With The "Men only care about sex" ideology

    This to a tee. The conflicting desires from the mind and the body are paralyzing.

    Escape to the Movies: 300: Rise of an Empire

    The first 300 was a phenomenally fun film. And if you're after a movie that you can sit down and enjoy some brutal action scenes, carnage, and don't want to think too heavily, is great. I would say going into this one with the same mindset would be beneficial, because that is mostly what it...

    Judge Refuses To Dismiss League of Legends Terrorist Threat Case

    I think the point is it wasn't a serious threat and should have been easily distinguished as not a threat by law enforcement. It was an odd, and I grant you appalling, thing to say. However, based on the context of the situation, it is evident to even the average Joe that it is a joke. I think...

    Judge Refuses To Dismiss League of Legends Terrorist Threat Case

    I think that context is the most important element in discussing any case. This one provides an excellent example why. Taking the quote as simply "This was said" is one thing. Taking the conversation as a whole is an entirely different matter. Whether you believe that the comment was offside...

    The Perfect RPG

    Depth, not width. I need a world with lots to do, so that the world feels living. A game that is massive and empty is no good to anyone. For example, in the future, I would like to see a deeper Elder Scrolls, not a bigger Elder Scrolls. I want a Skyrim with more randomly generated encounters...

    Are your number of unplayed games increasing? And is that a problem?

    I tend not to get bogged down with games I own, as I only buy when something really looks interesting, or when I'm ready to add something to my library. However, the number of games I actually want to buy seems to be dropping as time goes on. There was time when I would buy a game or two a...

    Your Favorite Cat/Dog Breeds

    Well, I have three Rottweilers, so that's my vote. Nicest dogs I could ever hope to have, strong, love to play, love to work, loyal for forever and a day, and beautiful. As for cats, I was never really a fan. We`ve got some barn cats, and they`re alright. I just let them do their thing, and...

    RWBY episode 16

    I am a big supporter of RoosterTeeth, and I love when they launch new stuff. That being said, I am pretty much on board with the general feeling of "meh" that seems to be surrounding RWBY. There is nothing overtly bad about RWBY, it is a compilation of little things that turn me off the show...

    If you were a Pokémon...

    Agh, such a difficult question! I guess if you wanted to talk the more conventional Pokemon, I've always been a huge fan of Gengar. On the other hand, it would be damn cool to be an Unown. A Pokemon from a completely different dimension with the power to warp reality? Yes please.

    Sex! Sex! Sex! Please! Can I have your STI identification card first.

    I was under the impression that in the event that you contract an STD from another person, and they are fully aware that they possess it and don't tell you, they can be charged with criminal negligence, amongst other things. Granted, this topic is more along the lines of prevention, but OP's...

    Political Correctness and Halloween Costumes

    I think you mean the mentally ill who weren't offended rather than people who aren't affected by it? I think the point TekMonkey was making is if you're not part of the group that is supposedly being targeted/offended it's not really up to you to say what is and isn't offensive to that group. Of...
