I'm not interested in the prize (still have my PS2 copy *hugs*), but what the hey, I'll give this a go. Let's see... (hope it's not too bad - I am a writer, but poetry's not my strong suit) 'It's Nothing But Rain' (created and owned by myself) That digital reality guided by my hand...

Well, first things first - the fanbase is kind of...divisive on certain titles, and like most fanbases, they can get REALLY loud about it. So if you end up trying and liking one that's not popular or vice versa, just ignore them. As for recommendations, it depends on what kind of RPG games...

I consider myself very fortunate to have some friends I've made solely through online contact (WoW specifically), since my current situation - poor, jobless, far away from pretty much everyone I know - makes it hard to develop friendships in the real world. More than that, though, I've made...

Reading the whole story, I'm not totally convinced this is shady business dealings as opposed to, say, a really poorly-timed move to facilitate the company's changing of hands. I think many gamers are super-sensitive to this kind of thing and may be hitting the 'corruption' button too quick...

My hell would be being forced to stand in front of a crowd of millions on stage, in front of a podium with the spotlight on me and the curtains drawn wide. I will be given the secret of the known universe and the task of present it to all of humanity, and the second I start talking, some...

Oh, I doubt that last part will happen. This IS the internet, after all. Frankly, the fans on both sides - and now Notch, having read his Twitter - haven't impressed me much. Notch is spouting all this stuff about the Yogscast on his twitter advertised on Minecraft's front page, but without...

I've heard it said that series has been going downhill since all the original talent has since left for other companies, but I was willing to stand up for Squeenix - they have made some good games and I liked XII and even X-2 (gameplay-wise, anyway), so I was content to let XIII go by as a...

This. This is the only time 'seduction = rape', because lawfully (and morally, arguably) you cannot expect someone underage or mentally handicapped to fully understand the implications of a physical relationship or even a single sexual interaction. There's a reason it's called 'statutory...

Shadow of the Colossus. I've watched an LP, and its visual story, subtle storytelling and epic-feeling boss fights are all very impressive and surprisingly varied, but nothing about the game changed my mind that I'd be either bored or frustrated actually playing it. Also, most paintings...

This. I'm also reminded of an expression I heard once that goes like, "Most people remember the loudest, most annoying people over the relatively sane ones, even if the loud ones are vastly outnumbered." It's part of our becoming a truly global society. Before when we could never contact...

EDIT: Geez, no idea the post preceding mine was so...lengthy and clashed so badly with mine. I'm sorry - bad timing. ^_^ Sorry you feel that way, OP. I get where you're coming from though. Me, I watch the show, and I do like it. I was originally against it 'til I watched the first two...

OH yeah, I'm sure everyone will be clamoring to get back there. Everyone who just had all of their data wiped from existence are gonna be righteously pissed, and you bet anyone who finds out about this will jump to ANY other MMO first. 'Yeah, Maplestory may be full of screechy, idiotic kids and...

.... ...*snrk*... ....hee hee hee! HAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Oh my gaw-hah-hah-had! *begins ROFLing* That...that's just hilarious! AHHHH HA HA HA! Oh god I can't breathe!! That's the funniest thing I've seen in weeks! An entire game's just up and gone 'cause someone hit the...

Eh, it's not so bad. We're simply entering a new age. And I mean that - the development of the internet and the growing interconnection of media is a change that will have (and always has had) massive repercussions on society as a whole. That includes us, naturally. Why does this matter...

Y'know, I just watched an episode of The Big Picture that put something into words that I've felt for awhile - a lot of people on the internet are essentially extremists of opinion. There's no room for moderate opinions because others seem to translate leaning slightly towards one way or the...
