Are you sure about that? Also, Warcraft is basically Warhammer... /shrug Actually, after googling it I call shenanigans on the Legacy of Kain/D&D claim.

There seems to be a mistake in the original article... I can't find the entry about Legacy of Kain for some reason.

Nope, Lovecraft was born on August 20, 1890... and yes, the whole discussion is somewhat ridiculous. The poem that keeps getting refered to was a work written in 1912, distributed to friends and family. Contrary to what has been suggested in this thread, it was never intended for wide...

Wait, hold on... I learned on tumblr that only the offended party can say what is offensive? Why do YOU get decide its ok to make fun of another group's insecurities? Why do you presume male humans collectively have fantasies about hurting the weak with their fists? I feel unappreciated and...

I am deeply offended by all of this. I cannot believe how insensitive Marvel is. I mean, consider the following: a) The blatant cultural appropriation of a major Nordic deity by American consumerism. Followed by said deity's emasculation by stripping him of his ancestral name and title. b)...

Yes, of course health insurance shouldn't cover rare diseases, thanks for pointing that out. Although, most civilized countries do have healthcare policies where elective procedures are extra, not rare diseases. But hey: land of the free, home of the brave. And yes, shame on me for not...

My take away from these news: Activision Blizzard are too fucking cheap to pay for their employees' healthcare. Not sure why I'm surprised at this point but I am. Also, I fully expect this to get no or far less angry responses than let's say the art of Dragon's Crown.

Project lead said something along the lines of "We want you to look at the enemies, not the UI, and block when you see an incoming attack." That does not really sound like normal MMO spreadsheet combat but more like Zelda: Ocarina of Time combat... which would be totally awesome.

Well, I haven't read too many high fantasy books with female protagonists, but I seem to remember one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Artefacts_of_Power I can't really remember any details, don't even remember if I finished the whole series... It's been 15 years... Another fantasy...

You're a funny fellow. You wouldn't know this, but there is this little island where the language you use originated. People living on the island have strange customs, one of them is that they use the spelling 'labelling'. Crazy, right? As for my use of an internet meme to convey meaning...

It's funny, because that's what I've done. You on the other hand seem insistent on labelling your particular interpretation of an author as an objective truth. This somewhat makes me doubt you've spent any considerable time studying literary theory... or maybe those texts went right over your...

Do not mistake your failure to understand Lovecraft's writing at anything but surface level with some kind of failure on Lovecraft's end.

Some truely great OSTs I haven't seen in the thread yet: Mechwarrior 2 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM3MwpkVYKQ&list=PL9644B77115BBCFA0&index=1] PC version, PSX has a different OST Descent 2 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhL8BqPh_cM&list=PL9B4A4234C10E2AFA] Castlevania: The Arcade...

I was not going to reply to the posts about Lovecraft's racism since it seems to be par for the course but it was bugging me so here goes. It is easy to demonize Lovecraft's views on race today. However, it is also fundamentally intellectually dishonest. Sure, presentism is fun but what...

There's a list here, some repeats, some new ones: http://www.hplovecraft.com/popcult/games/computer.asp also Scratches and another text adventure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchorhead Insmouse No Yakata (Virtual Boy) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWcpMyf9HvI
