    Favorite Video-Game Villain and why.

    Yep, Kefka is definitely the winner in my books. He's a nice break from deep, thoughtful characters, with tragic backstories. He's 1. insane 2. evil and 3. powerful enough to get away with 1 and 2. The conversation with him just before the final fight is brilliant, and always crosses my mind...

    I think I found the most pretentious video game review site ever.

    I enjoyed it. It's an alternative look at an aspect of sandbox games as well as mystery games that you don't see often. This is probably going to start a fight, but I won't be able to move on until I make these points. 1. It's 'writing', not 'righting'. Petty, I know, it's a thing. 2...

    Doctor Who Ratings Rise in the US, Fall in the UK

    PEOPLE! You're arguing politics on a Dr Who tread. Maybe think about whether it actually matters or not, or whether this is the appropriate place for it?

    DLC for Dummies

    Huh, this is an interesting read. I haven't played the game yet (waiting for it to drop in price. Although I'm sure it's great, I don't feel the need to play it right now, and really can't justify spending $110 on a video game at this point) but it's interesting to see that people are raging on...

    Poll: Would you harbor a nazi?

    He's helping people now, punishing him (from a legal standpoint, I suspect he's been punishing himself) would cause no good, and dredge up a lot of ill-feeling.

    Drinking help

    Check out the liqueurs, Kahlua, Baileys and the like. They tend to be more focused on actually tasting good, rather than some bizarre "macho" notion. Also, they tend to be a bit more light in terms of alcohol per volume, so it's good for getting used to knowing how you feel at various levels, an...

    Magic creates food

    Just had an interesting idea. Say the human race evolved in such a way that people could easily create the basic necessities, food, water, clothing etc, but only those things (nothing more fancy/luxurious) due to some universal law. How would that affect the development of society as we know it...

    Things that every game should have

    A journal for RPGs, or at least some summary of what's happened before or what's happening now. I frequently get busy with life stuff, and have to put the game away for a few days. So by the time I come back, I've forgotten what's happened, and sometimes that can be enough to kill the game (I'm...

    Sexual Insecurity?

    I'm heterosexual, but if I'm perfectly honest I'm probably not very comfortable with sexuality in general. That said, I'm measuring against a group I hang out with, who seem to have no problem discussing their sex lives and those of other people in disturbing detail in public...

    NASA Scientist Claims to Have Found Evidence of Extraterrestrial Life

    I'd be more impressed if something like this didn't occur every few months...

    Poll: Circumcision - What is your opinion?

    Sure, because different cultures with ideas different to yours are ALWAYS wrong. And female circumcision is very different, on the basis that it's often cruelly done, and has very real and very serious health ramifications for the rest of the child's life. Whereas male circumcision is done...

    i'm sorry, but that's childporn

    I seem to remember the classification board here in Australia who wanted to ban images of women with breasts smaller than a certain size [http://www.inquisitr.com/59472/millions-of-extra-sites-to-be-censorsed-as-australian-gov-bans-small-breasts-female-ejaculation/], on the basis that it could...

    The stigma of easy mode

    I used to play on normal/medium difficulty, except when it got to certain points in the game I'd often get frustrated. Don't get me wrong, I like a challenge, but a lot of games (Bioshock 2, Prototype, probably others I can't think of right now) often mistake "challenging" for "massively cheap...

    PS3 Hacker Raised All the Legal Funds Needed to Beat Sony in a Weekend

    So why doesn't he need to follow the EULA again? Regardless of opinion, it DOES form a legal, binding contract between the owner of the hardware and the company. If the EULA has terms which are unacceptable, that I understand, but that's a very different story.

    Evan Emory Outrage

    Sorry, I must have been unclear. My apologies. My point was that rather then just complaining about a silly judicial incident, maybe the energies would be better directed to something productive? And yes, I also lose sight of bigger picture stuff a lot, despite my attempts to maintain...
