I can remember a lot about the game but not actually the title. I've been looking for it for quite a bit now and would appreciate any help. The basic idea was that you were stranded on this planet because your spaceship or something crashed there. First-person perspective, fairly primitive...

"Oh, joyous. Another Minecraft topic?" Yes, another Minecraft topic. But this time, it's a Let's Play! "But there's already a thousand of those!~" Wait, really? "Well, not really a thousand, but... you get the picture." Well - then I'll make it different! Yeah! I'll make it really...

I was hoping "PC" stood for "political correctness," which is just as equally an issue that needs to be addressed. But nonetheless: I highly doubt that the real majority of the posters are as you say, but rather they're just the ones you notice because the voice those viewpoints so loudly and...

I've heard this a lot and it just outright confuses me because - again, sexiness is just, when used properly, a quality of a character. It might be a bit distracting, true, but it simply exists and assuming it's not there just to be there, and in fact at the least fits with the character (i.e...

To address the first: I agree that that in itself is quite a problem. But as it is I've seen people jump on insulting any character with anything that could be considered sex appeal and that actually annoys me, because people in real life are, or can be, sexy as well as...

I just figure I'd ask this, especially to the 'games are art' crowd that I unfortunately consider myself a member of. I don't quite understand why characters that are outright sexy or dress provocatively are considered bad - yes, I can understand the value of characters like Alyx Vance and...

I would never say piracy is justified. But this is really the closest to that you can get. That's like making a reservation in a restaurant months in advance, and then when you go in they tell you that someone else took your seats, so go fuck yourself. That's harsh, really. It shows EA...

Y'know, I thought the whole 'all females being slaves' might be a bit, I don't know, offputting for some people. Guess not.

Irony: incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs; 'the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated' [Source] [wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn] I see a lot of people misusing or misunderstanding irony here. (CoD Multiplayer, for instance, is no way a...

Ever notice that when gamers make compound curses, one half of it tends to be at least somewhat related to food? (Cuntnugget. Yes, I'm aware that it means other things than in the 'chicken' context [like gold nugget], but f'ckoff.)

Immersion has always been something that's been interesting to me - and I think graphics are certainly a very confusing thing. Considering I can well immerse myself into games like Dwarf Fortress or Minecraft, while I can't immerse myself into say, Call Of Duty, it may seem like graphics aren't...

Hah... good to see I'm not totally crazy, than. Works for me.

It's funny you mention that - I was considering that when I was talking about both technology (especially with facial animation and getting out of the 'uncanny valley' hump) and potential future series'. If Noire doesn't flop and/or completely suck, it'll probably go on to be a fairly major...

Care to explain your train of thought, or would you rather continue to throw metaphorical spitballs from the sidelines and trolololo?
