[Insert statement about "all men think (x)"] [Insert stale witticism about decline of society.] [Insert hipster reference about how cool I am for not liking this.] etc. etc. etc. Seriously, I loved DoA: XBV, and own one and two. The volleyball was entertaining enough, and I love playing...

Is it enforced PvP, or is there PvP-free Care Bear PvE servers too?

So, because I really, really, really don't like how they handle IPs, and feel that the changes that they do make change the game from the style I like (Dragon Age: Origins) to a style that isn't really something I enjoy (Dragon Age 2: Anders is a waste of carbon), I'm just being a "sheep" and...

They are skilled enough to kill off every MMO they get involved with, without fail. That takes some serious skill.

People who give me shark about playing the female characters whenever given the option to. The gamers that feel that the gender of their character must match their plumbing. When I play L4D, I'm Zoey. Period. Take Zoey, and I'll find another damn group. Fighting games? I'm Cammy, Chun Li...

My wife thought "Girlfriend mode" was a cute name for a nice idea. But then, this is the woman who demands I play FPS and Action/Adventure games for her. She doesn't play, but she loves to watch me play. Honestly, aren't there better things to spend your time/energy/bandwidth being offended...

To the OP: See, here's where I have a problem. I'm a survivor of rape. You are telling me, a survivor of rape, that I cannot think "Hey, it'd've been absolutely swell if someone had come up to me four hours earlier and said, 'Hey, that thing there? Horrible, horrible idea. You are setting...

What the wondertwits did at the party was a horrible horrible thing. Agency and self-integrity are things that should never ever be violated regardless of gender/ethnicity/orientation/age. That said, and with full heft behind it, you cannot violate laws because you are a survivor. Is her...

Like many, my hope is that this is not the death knell for single player Elder Scrolls. I'm sure many of you are lovely people, but I don't want to be on Tamriel with you.

I'm going to do something crazy and wait until I see how strong the single-player is. If it's longer than 20 hours of play (on the hardest setting) I'll probably buy it. If it isn't, I likely won't. Do "we" need to support it? I think you're assuming I'm of a like mind with you, or even...

Spider-Man 2099 was half-hispanic, half-Irish. Current Ultimate Spider-Man is half-Latino, half-African-American. Batman has Batman Incorporated which means there are all sorts of Batmans of various racial identities. Green Lantern already has racial/gender diversity. Superman has been...

Bioware hasn't been too up on keeping promises of late.

Gaily bedight, a gallant knight in sunshine and in shadow; has journeyed long, singing a song in search of El Dorado. But he grew old, this knight so bold and o'er his heart a shadow fell as he found no spot of ground that looked like El Dorado. And as his strength, failed him at...

Small point, something that bugs me and both sides of the argument are guilty of: Sweeping generalizations are bad, and do not earn cookies. "Women like x" "Men like x" "X is always blah" "X gonna give it to you" etc. No sweep general, it makes kitteh cry.

What sickens me the most about humans is our inability (in general) to see that nothing is black and white, that everything is a lovely shade of grey. Some greys darker, some greys lighter, but nothing is simple. Not every White Straight Male is evil and horrible. Not every female is a...
