Thanks for the input everyone, it's given me some stuff to think about. Just to touch on a couple of points: Stop giving me even more things to fantasize about! :) All valid complaints. It's definitely an unpolished system. A lot of heart clearly went into it, but you constantly see...

I've been playing Telepath Tactics recently and it's got me thinking about what makes tactical RPGs/turn-based-tactics games 'good' (the genres are slightly different, but I'll be considering them together here). It's also got me wondering about issues that come up in these sorts of games and...

I don't usually make huge risky buys, but I might drop $15 on an interesting looking Steam game. The most recent one would be Pony Island [http://store.steampowered.com/app/405640/]. I did enough research to know it was one of those seemingly simple games that like to get meta and mess with...

I'd be down to try something like that. The closest thing I can think of to that that already exists is Rebuild 3: Gangs of Deadsville, though it focuses more on individual survivor management than on developing a unique city (All your cities will kind of feel the same once you've stabilized...

Two that might work are: An upbeat and playful song about murder A "dark carnival"

Chalk up another vote for Invisible Inc. It's a different sort of stealth game from the rest to be sure, but worth a look. It's an isometric, turn based stealth game where you control a group of 2-4 agents infiltrating randomly generated buildings and making off with the loot inside. There...

My main thing is that there is a point at which spoiler warnings become unnecessary (which varies based on how niche the work is), but that expectations of spoiler warnings should be reinstated if the work experiences a sudden surge in popularity or is remade. For example, right now I wouldn't...

I left behind Asher, though it hurt. In my mind Asher's main job was to bring the Forresters an army, and that's what he did. He's a good warrior, but he wouldn't make a great lord (he doesn't think long-term and is pretty unwilling stay quiet for his own good). I also feel that house...

First thing that comes to mind is Mantorok from Eternal Darkness. Despite being the "Corpse God" and the "God of Chaos", he keeps the far worse ancients in check and is interested in keeping humanity alive, even if he is manipulative about it. He also looks like this:

Hello fellow netizens. This isn't the biggest issue in the world, but it's something that's been nagging at me for some time, and I'd like to get some feedback. There's something that I see as a problem that occasionally crops up in internet arguing, and I'd like to illustrate that with the...

Raphael's 'The School of Athens' OK, everything about this painting is fantastic. The use of perspective and geometry, the representations of the philosophers, all the little details in the background and around the edges. In my opinion this piece exemplifies 'mastery'. There is purpose in...

Neither. I was interested in Hatred because I'm a sucker for destructible environments, but I'll probably let it pass unless reviews start going up. I'm very interested in Splatoon and am very happy it exists, and it's a game I feel like I'd have a blast playing, but I'm not about to buy a...

My cellphone is also currently my work phone, and my current job involves making and receiving a ton of calls, so I'm on it pretty often. I pretty much just use it for calls, texts, and scheduling though.

I tend to play games making the decisions I personally feel are right, so 'planned runs' don't usually happen until at least the second play-though. I do have a few stories though. My second play-through of Telltale's 'The Wolf Among Us' I tried for a silent-stupid-psychotic-bad-detective...

With no particular preference to the game listed when there were multiple options: A - Antichamber B - Bastion C - Cthulhu Saves the Word D - Don't Starve E - (The) Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion F - Fallout G - Grand Theft Auto IV H - Hand of Fate I - Invisible Inc J K L - Long Live...
