    The Dangers of Dialogue

    Just throwing this out there, but Return to Zork had a fairly unique facial expression system instead of dialog of any sort from the player character. http://youtu.be/EB-UEJjf7oA?t=5m46s And what it really does is change the conversation flow in real time. You can still ask people about...

    Jimquisition: Fake Nerd Girls

    I can't speak for everyone and I'm sure there's a segment of male geeks who really are misogynists out for any excuse to hate women. But for the sane of us who dislike fake nerd girls, or at least me, it's pretty simple. They're annoying. They're annoying in the same way ANYONE is annoying...

I think that's about the only thing I've...

    Poll: Your "cup of tea" in terms of Graphics

    I've written multiple pages worth of text on my preferences, actually. But to sum it up, I'll take pretty sprites over ugly 3D any day. The DS had some serious issues with this. Take two games from Square: The World Ends With You and Final Fantasy III (DS version). Both on the same system...
