(Warning! Blatant Advertising!) Two factions of elves are force to flee to the planet Terah from their shattered homeworld after centuries of conflict. One faction brings advanced technology, the other powerful magic. Both factions are determined to continue the age-long war that tore their...

I was re-reading a game of thrones and I started thinking about Varys the Spider and the whole idea of the spy master. He's a common figure in games, books and movies: He brokers information, sells secrets and knows everything that goes on in his domain. He's never the protagonist, and the...

One morning I was dreaming that my High School was performing "The Coffee Cantata" By Bach. The lead singer was played by a professional opera singer dressed up in a coffee, and the chorus was dressed up in mugs. She was singing in German, but despite this I could understand her completely...

Just because it seems unattainable doesn't mean we shouldn't work towards it. Just sitting around saying "this is the type of education we can afford" is all well and good, but like Extra Credits said in "Gamification," we're still using methods of education that were established at the turn...

This is the main reason I am still a biochemistry major even though I enjoy English classes more than anything else, and you'll be more likely to see me writing an essay than doing a synthesis in my spare time. I consistently get better grades in these classes than I do in my science classes...

Oooh, I bet that is pretty frustrating/rage inducing. I hate it when games that I have a "meh" response to are consistently reviewed as "Greatest Game EVAR!!1!!" Which is why I hate most of everything I've ever seen done by Square Enix. I dislike the scripting and the characters and the...

I'd probably decide I really, really, really want to read up on Carl Jung. Then I'd go on a quest to discover who - or what - was messing with the collective subconscious of humanity. I think that while I did this, people would be jumping up and down flapping their arms really hard trying to...

I love the escapist too, but I noticed the same thing when I was still lurking. And yes, all of you can say "It's a video game site, so you shouldn't expect it to be anything else." I love stories. Let me tell you a story. It is the 1930s. The world is still only barely recovering from the...

I disagree that it would lose effect over multiple times for one reason: People rarely take the same class twice. Yes, if you offered those same achievements every day, it wouldn't work but I believe that an actual teacher would be able to come up with many, many achievements that would continue...

If you two are really good friends then it's just that much more of an advantage for your relationship. Yeah, if it doesn't work out it will hurt but the truth is that if it does work out you guys have a great chance of going the distance, as long as you both remember that you were friends...

I just started Shadow of the Collosus at my girlfriend's behest. People had described it as a semi-platformer so I was a little leery of it (I am just no good at platformers. The last level of Psychonauts just killed me to death) but I'm on the last Collosus and I have loved just everything...

Hey, guess what, I'm new as well! Yay! Um... it really depends on my mood. I cycle through games. Right now I'm completely obsessed with Psychonauts. Like, writing a formal essay on Psychonauts obsessed. RTS: Battle for Middle Earth II. Storywise, you don't get much better than Mass...
