    The myth of the blank slate?

    Freespace (and Freespace 2) actually does this surprisingly well. The pilot is almost always referred to as "Alpha 1". I never even noticed the lack of any characterisation during my playthroughs until someone pointed it out to me. Even during the big speech at the end of the second game...

    Anyone here getting/looking forward to Cities:Skylines?

    It really looks like everything SimCity should've been. And at 30? it's still cheaper. Even if, in good old paradox fashion, there's 20? of near essential dlc it would be fine. That being said: https://twitter.com/MaxisGuillaume/status/573203901081509888

    Paradox Grand Strategy

    I started with Europa Universalis III and by basically watching an entire commented playthrough first. Which is probably not a bad Idea regardless of the game you choose. The ingame tutorials are almost hilariously useless (also the HoI 3 ones make my game crash). All of the games can become...

    #gategate: The movement to expose all movements.

    Wasn't there also "Bridgegate" or something recently? Is there a list of all gates? Damn it I wanted to make a joke but Wikipedia beat me to it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scandals_with_"-gate"_suffix Edit: OffTopic but is there a way to make links with " in them work?

    What is the weirdest movie you've seen?

    "Die Reise ins Glück" (german for "the journey to happiness") a german movie made by Wenzel Storch. He worked for a satire magazine and made the movie with his own money almost ruining himself in the process. And rightfully though. It is horrible in every regard. I say that as someone who...

    What is the weirdest thing a game has suggested you do?

    "Hey your sister should totally get married to your cousin." Yeah thanks Crusader Kings 2, I don't think that's a good Idea.

    Games that allow a focus on movement?

    Almost any game during a speedrun. CS or rather Halflife had these weird maps which were all about bunny hoping, grenade jumping and stuff like that. I forgot what they are called though.

    Help looking for a game as a gift?

    Red Dead Redemption and Dragons Dogma would be two games that might fit. I personally haven't played them due to not owning a PS3 so you might want to look into them yourself, but I've heard a lot of good about them.

    Games to play while Binge-watching TV shows

    This was exactly the reason why I bought Anno 2070. Since you're german (lol racism, but seriously those games were rather popular in Germany) you might enjoy Sierra's citybuilders, namely Caesar, Zeus/Poseidon, Rise of the middle Kingdom. Rollercoaster Tycoon would also probably work but I...

    Dragon Age 2 post mortem

    I totally agree with you on most things. I too loved the Idea behind the story of DA2. Just being someone trying to get by (and constantly getting involved in the worst events). It is a nice change from being the big hero who's off to save the world. The execution of it though failed in my...

    Gamers Show Appreciation With #welovegamedevs

    Wow. And who exactly thought this would be a good Idea right now? Got any other oil barrels you want to toss into the flames?

    Reclaiming SJW

    So due to the fact that most leaders in the last centuries were male, men get raped in prison? Sorry if you already explained this in more Detail, I couldn't find it. But I don't really follow your train of thought here.

    The FIFA World Cup 2014 Thread

    As a German I'm obviously pleased with the World Cup thus far. Really hoping for a Germany Netherlands final. It'd be much more emotional due to the old rivalry, that has luckily become really friendly in recent years, between the teams. (it even has it's own wikipedia entry...

    Your favorite moments in a single line

    Freespace 2: "Subspace Drive failure." Never have I been in greater panic.

    Wait, \v\ did a good thing!?! (The E3 Nintendo Treehouse Appreciation Thread)

    It's not that uncommon, they also made one for Kojima once I think. And only recently they sent a get well card to Iwata. I honestly don't know why people are that surprised by stuff like that. Does anyone honestly think that 4chan is full of assholes just because they call each other bad...
