If my posts are long, perhaps it is because I am putting more effort into thinking about what I am saying? This isn't a race. You can certainly ignore me, but perhaps I am just exploiting your crusade to serve as a teachable point for everyone else who wants to bother reading it? Who knows, I...

You seem to assert that there needs to be an egotistical sexist, but I don't think it's that complicated. If the Return On Investment isn't there, the game doesn't get made. It doesn't even matter if the "tiny amount" means they end up in the black, if the publisher is trying to gain market...

EA made bad business decisions, and those kinds of decisions aren't unique to the video game industry. Are video games any more volatile than the current handheld electronics or fashion industries? Are video game consumers any more fickle than the ones for movies and TV? Their failures are...

That would be using Occam's Razor, which paints a picture that we don't like. It's much easier to believe that we are a more advanced culture, yet we see arguments keep popping up about how we're "programmed", as if we're still just slaves to our base natures. We see folks decrying explanations...

For the same reasons that people trying to talk about the benefits of abstinence and refraining from pornography get shot down and can't get taken seriously. Denying someone the ability to satiate a desire is treated like violating basic human rights. Sexism is there because it makes money...

Played through STALKER:SoC and CoP again and what stuck out this time was how much empty space there can be to explore, and how it helped add to the game experience. It got me thinking about how in many games, there can be different amounts of "empty space" which serve no purpose but to add to...

Just because you love someone doesn't mean they won't still suffer the consequences of their decisions. A parent may love a child but if the child does something wrong, is the parent supposed to just ignore the consequences? Is ignoring the consequences of your decisions what "love" is to you...

((So I couldn?t resist doing this, I wrote this just now while Bored At Work?. Hope you enjoy. ^_^)) The "Orthodox Korps Adoring Yahtzee" is currently accepting members. They focus on alienating any videogame that Yahtzee does not approve of. If you are found playing one of these games you...

First name "Nathan" - comes from the verb "to give" or "giver". Besides the regular meaning of giving, this verb is used in all sorts of placing, putting, committing, bestowing, even suffering, throwing, etc. The name doesn't seem to denote something that is given, but rather an active form of...

If ye be playing trolls that have a Caribbean accent, there not be much stretchin needed ^_^

I am well mannered because I want to be. My belief is that God loved us as we are, not for what he could get out of us or for how good we are. By properly understanding the unconditional love I believe God shows us, it inspires me to look at people in a very different light. Instead of being...

Personally I believe that people who force Christianity onto other people are ignoring the precepts and purpose. It doesn't say "They will know we are Christians..." - By our persecution of others. - By legislating morality. - By starting a secret club. - By by going to war over who...

43 - R 42 - D 41 - R 40 - R 39 - D 38 - R 37 - R - 1970 Pretty close to the rate you claimed. The problem is that almost the entire time congress was Democratic controlled. You know, the ones who actually write laws and are part of the "checks and balances"? That is why it was huge in...

Dumb. Storytime: Man jumps off a 100-story building. When falling past floor 10, he thinks to himself "I dunno what all the fuss is about." Just because things appear all fine and dandy doesn't mean they will continue to be so. Unless the videogame is open source, this is BS. There is...

Welcome and thank you for the well thought out post ^_^ What I would like to know is what elections Republicans have dominated for 30 years? What do you think the original idea was that the USA has strayed from? What policies of Obama's do you think will realign the country to that...
