Of the few I've played, The Stanley Parable. It parodies linear, story-driven games, which are something I actually don't have much of a problem with. But it does it in such a hilarious way that I love it a lot. One of the things it parodies is the illusion of choice, which is something...

Lindt is definitely the best easily-obtained chocolate. Ghirardelli is pretty good too. And Godiva has some lovely truffles, but I have to be near a mall to get them. Scharffen Berger is probably my favorite, though, just in terms of the flavor of the chocolate itself. I always use it when I...

Gamewise? More like Gamefoolish! Am I...am I right guys? Actually I have no opinion on it one way or the other. Oh shit, new page. Better make up an opinion! Journey isn't on here, so it is crap.

Okay, I honestly have to wonder why SE thought it would be a good idea to release these screenshots [http://gematsu.com/2013/03/drakengard-3-high-res-screenshots-artwork]. What the hell is this? What is it? Where are everyone's feet? What is going on here?

I had a lot of really bad experiences with misogynistic gamers, to the point that the casual misogyny spouted by what seems to be the majority is seriously upsetting, because it just reminds me of worse things I've experienced. Every time I tried to come back, I saw male gamers making shitty...

Female, 26. 1. Do you consider yourself a member of the gamer subculture? No. I choose to not interact with other gamers for the most part, so I'm not part of the subculture. 2. How many hours of videogames do you play a week? 20-30 3. Do you tend to play videogames by yourself or...

If it's a game I'm playing in order to be immersed in a world then I more or less have to play as a female character, or as an apparently genderless creature (like Journey), or in first person (like the Myst series). Sometimes first person games still make me feel like I'm playing a male...

My favorite trance of all time...This lovely piece by Andy Blueman.

Seriously. I panicked when I saw the title, but the only content in the article was "We want to make some expansions but we aren't working on any right now." The game has been out for just over 6 months and they're currently in the middle of working on some huge content patches...Is that...

I like this soundtrack more and more every time I hear it. And I loved it the first time. I feel stupid for not noticing all the cool stuff in the music, like how every character is represented by an instrument and there are fewer instruments if you're playing solo.

I can make nitpicks about pretty much everything I like, so I'll only focus on those things that have a number of serious problems. Final Fantasy XI is grindy and full of tedium and bullshit fake challenge (5% drop rates and the like), but the music, community, and immersion are the best of...

Yep. [http://mystonline.com/en/] Sorry you had such a bad experience. The biggest problem with that game (and there are admittedly a ton) was that the multiplayer was really poorly implemented and more or less totally irrelevant. You could solve all the Ages on your own with the exception of a...

I've never played a turn-based RPG before, but I just tried out The Banner Saga: Factions a couple days ago and was really intrigued. I'm considering looking into other turn-based RPGs now as a result. I know that in my case a lot of the (theoretical) appeal comes from the fact that actiony...

Uru was great too. Probably my second favorite. Even though I completed all the content ages ago (har), I still log in from time to time just to soak in the ambiance of the Garden Ages. Somehow it still works, even though it looks ancient.

In between options 1 and 2. As a vegetarian, I have to pay special attention and make sure I'm getting enough of certain vitamins and minerals (iron, etc.) that other people take for granted. Since I make about 80% of what I eat from scratch, I make sure that everything I use is relatively...
