    Have you heard of a "Homosexual Therapist?"

    I think comparing this guy to Darwin might be stretching a little.

    Have you heard of a "Homosexual Therapist?"

    I think what people are concerned about are the idea that he may be teaching people to lie to themselves, which rarely leads to any kind of real happiness. Less about accepting your sexuality or denying it, more about fixating on a societal norm so you don't stand out. I had to heavily...

    The end of Lulzsec.

    Nevermind. I forgot this was the internet.

    American Box Art Sucks

    I'm pretty sure people that actually decide what will go on the box are from marketing, or advertising, not the actual graphic arts department, so insulting the people who design it is largely unfair. It's like when you (if you work in retail) are told to go stack a product so that it's a cube...

    Enemies that you absolutely hate to fight in video games

    Murlocs from World of Warcraft. I hate those things.

    Guys That Play Girls In Games. Why?

    I don't think RPing a female character is inherently girly. I've read before, somewhere, that some men portray female characters in writing or games as a way to idealize or explore their concept of what a woman would be like. Less about being a woman themselves and more about getting a better...

    Guys That Play Girls In Games. Why?

    Wow, 22 pages... I just wanted to say - I'm a girl, so it doesn't really fit, but when I used to play World of Warcraft, I'd stick to the female versions almost exclusively because the male models were bulky and weird. In Dragon Age: Origins, I've played male and female characters; the...

    Woman seduces teenager via Xbox Live

    I think, in the US, once you hit 18, you hit the three year rule. I could be wrong, though.

    Woman seduces teenager via Xbox Live

    "He was thirteen, but it's okay if he liked it." (A couple people said that.) Know what else thirteen year olds like? Pokemon, soda, and those tennis shoes that light up. Being able to get it up doesn't act as a measure of your mental or emotional capacity to handle what just happened. It's...

    Poll: CONFORMISTS!!!!

    I've had an unpleasant brush with self-righteously based nonconformity ever since I told my friends (two of which are the types who will 'never get married, no matter what' even though one has lived with his girlfriend for nine years) that I was going to be getting engaged. It's a more...

    Poll: CONFORMISTS!!!!

    It never occurred to you that a number of these 'conformists' are also just doing it because they... like to do it, not because they want to fit in? I've been called emo before because of my hairstyle, my square black-framed glasses, and... well, that's mostly it. It was never my intention...

    Dragon Age Conundrum

    I would go with PC. I've played it on console and PC and while I prefer, generally, the way the controls work (it's been a while, so I could even be wrong there), the PC version is just... better. You can pause, as someone noticed, and you get a sort of giggle moment when you zoom way out and...

    Good or Bad in RPG's?

    I tend to always go with the good side of things, just because it usually gets you the most stuff. For instance, in Dragon Age, if you're mean enough to some of the companions, they'll leave the group or won't side with you over certain events. Then, when you're trying to whoop serious butt...

    Question of the Day, August 14, 2010

    I'm an artist, so I love the artbooks, generally. They give you a good idea of how characters, monsters, etc, were all designed and how they evolved throughout the creative process. That said, my favorite things with collector's editions and special editions are extra levels. Even if it's just a...

    Will someone please explain why hitting a girl is bad but hitting a guy is fine?

    Your username is awesome (Danny Ocean). Post unrelated to topic.
