    Catherine's Complex View of Commitment

    Very good text. I still haven't played Catherine, but eventually will (i already bought the game). I have one comment regarding sexuality though. It is really plausible that players were attracted to Catherine because of its sexual appeal (and that totally makes sense). I was interest because a...

    What Were You Doing When The World 'Was Going To End'?

    I was taking care of my father's dog... it is 10 years old, no teeth, black fur almost entirely turned white and no respect for the house. I was cleaning its pee at the promised time...

    What was the last great book/novel you read.

    World War Z by Max Brooks. Simply fantastic. And now I'm reading a classic, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... I'm in part 3/5 right now.

    Poll: Teachers Not Allowed to Discuss Personal Religious Beliefs in Class

    Well, here in my country these issues are kinda different... teachers and students here always talked openly about their religion, unless they belonged to some obscure and secret group (I've met one of those). But even so, they are kinda open and there is no law here regulating this sort of...

    Poll: Confess: How Much Does Sex Appeal Factor Into You Deciding What Games to Buy?

    I think the only game I may be buying for some reason related to sex is Catherine.

    Be a man (Say something you hated about a game you Love)

    Tales of the Abyss is my truly beloved game of all time and the thing I really, really hate about it is the crucial point in the history, which is a spoiler (someone dies). Besides that, the game is perfect in every single aspect of it. I can't find any flaws I would condemn the same I find in...

    Jimquisition: Solving the Sexism Situation

    Just a question out of curiosity: Have you ever studied this subject more in depth? I mean, have you ever studied feminism or things like that? Because if you can speculate about those you mentioned, well, I guess you probably have a good knowledge about it and the arguments proving it.

    Catherine Special Edition Includes Underwear, Pizza Box

    That is just ONE of the problems of buying stuff from abroad. Usually, when the product gets here, it takes from 2-3 months for it to be analyzed. Then it will be decided if they should charge you 60% of the price of the product. If yes, you have to go to a post office and pay. If not, you will...

    Jimquisition: Solving the Sexism Situation

    Ok. I did not want to give this issues this much of a thought, but... If godwin is what I think it is, I don't think it is possible in a serious conversation. And I would talk about sexism only if it a serious conversation. Like an post-modernism context. And, imho, some "places on the...

    Games Now Legally Considered an Art Form (in the USA)

    That is what I was thinking. In my country there's a lot of conversation going on about the violence in games influencing youngsters and so on. Now that games are art, everything CAN BE different. Not that this has anything to do with the discussion. I dont have a conclusion wheter games...

    Jimquisition: Solving the Sexism Situation

    Me too. This guy is funny. Nice accent btw. I really don't care about sexism. I am a girl and I have never thought about it, although he-in-the-video is right. But in my opinion, I would rather see beautiful women almost naked than beautiful men naked. I don't know, I don't like muscles too...

    Why I Hate "Happy Tree Friends"

    Ok, you have a point. I am not enthusiastic about this series either. However, have you ever watched "fail" videos? Have you find those funny? If yes, then people who find HTF funny feels the same way... In past old days (not so long) in the 90s, many children would laugh from Tom & Jerry. I...

    The one thing you are sick and fucking tired of seeing on the internet.

    I guess the problem is not that anime fans can't stand criticism... i guess it is because the criticism is being irrationally made. I accept criticism when it is well-made. The thing I regularly see in those who hate anime it always the same argument: "a lot of emo/fags/teenagers doing stuff"...
