    Zero Punctuation: Assassin's Creed 3

    why the american revolution? seriously, why? WHY!? there are plenty of historical periods ripe for sneaky freerunning murder, or not-so-sneaky murder, the cold war (all the fancy gadgets supervillians on both sides and intrigue you can think of and then some with only teensy historical tweaks...

    Get Rid of the Dang Arrows

    the arrows are necessary if the level/environment design isnt interesting and deliberate. i cant remember how many games ive seen where i literally wanted to give the fuck up and just go home because they told me where to go, but it all looked the fucking same. but if the rooms look unique...

    First thoughts upon hearing "Japan".

    weird pastries, tentacle porn, some of the bad stuff, nerdiness, and flowers-in that order.

    Playing the Cartel War

    first off: great article second: making a game about it... this gives me thoughts. plot... journalist or kidnapped family member/lover would definitely be the thing to do. why not both? possibly multiple perspectives, something like COD4(but more varied-politician, cop, ect.), though im...

    Senate Candidate Attacked Over World of Warcraft

    looking at the things she's said... do you think i could move do maine and push the paperwork through fast enough to vote for her? she seems mild reasonable sane sociable and not an egotistical fuckhead (which raises questions as to why shes going into politics), but otherwise i want to vote for...

    Feeling Safe in the United States

    you came to the united states and its the guns that scared you? youre either completely mad or an upper class straight cisgender christian white guy. its not so much that were paranoid, as we have the idea that carrying guns around with us somehow makes us safer. like noone can sneak up...

    Steam TOS Leads to Trouble in Germany

    wow. i didnt think they were the sort of company to start pulling this sort of blatantly anti-consumer shit. i cant think of anything that would get them my business back after this.

    Funcom Blames MetaCritic For Share Price Drop

    i was ready to buy this when it came up on steam (MMO aversion be damned, this looks awesome) but when i went to its store page the first thing that showed up was an EA logo. this makes me sad.

    Why feminist gaming discussions confuse and infuriate me: the modern schism of reappropriation

    the idea that characters should be met with failure or success because of the character. its not about positive/negative, and there are cultural (and maybe biological, but the expression of any innately gender influenced* behaviors are absolutely mediated by the culture, so its really difficult...

    Accpet Steam's New EULA or Say Goodbye To Your Steam Account UPDATED

    i think its shit that theyre doing this. i think its shit that they can do this. but theres been a lot of things on forums talking shit about steam recently and fewer than one would expect talking shit about origin for doing the exact same shit (and then some). i dont love steam, but am i the...

    Poll: Chick-fil-a owner admits to anti-gay views

    because some of that money goes to support horrible shit that oppresses and dehumanizes me and a lot of people i care about, and im not shiny with that? if chicken were so important to me that i would hurt the people i care about (and myself, but thats not really important) that would make...

    Catholics, Buddhists Join Hindu Protests Against Smite

    who needs uncensored art when you have god(s)? ill consider respecting them when they stop funding and making themselves platforms for anti-queer hate speech, stop oppressing women, and stop abusing children and/or have genuine respect for something other than themselves. (the only reason theyre...

    Another EA horror story.

    put it on every social network you possibly can. warn people so they dont suffer this shit, and cost those pieces of shit money in the process. and yes, it very probably is one sided: i experienced something very similiar when NWN2 came out-my key didnt work, refund and replacement CD key...

    Jimquisition: Rape vs. Murder

    pre-video thing totally unjustified; you did fine. also: i know i wont be reading PA again til i see something about a retraction of that shit. if extra creditz wasnt there i would seriously consider blocking the whole site for my network.

    A little advice about one of our players...

    i would try getting your DM a spine. call it a late new years gift. also assuming this is 3.5/PF: what about long range enemies (longbows taking range penalties or long range spells like fireball), underwater encounters (thrown weapons dont work there) mind control (especially posession) on him...
