Bob, since this is the second time in a few days that I've been heavily disappointed by your recommendations (the other was InTime) I have to speak out. Okay, should I have the urge to see giant monsters getting punched in the face by mechs before I consider this urge offically scratched, but...

Sometimes I forget that religious people are such a huge demographic in other parts of the world. On the other hand, do they play DIABLO? Or is playing a necromancer raising the undead okay unless he's gay? I think either conservative religious people are highly hypocritical in their views on...

Well, I think playing with the shift of power is quite intriguing. I mean the shift between redneck county and New York city for example can make a huge difference in the life of your character, starting in some rural village with all the hardships of being a social outcast to make it to new...

I actually don't see the problem with disempowerment. Doesn't every shooter start with you being in a helpless situation (plane crash, lost squad, Black Mesa turned into a nightmare) where the challenge is to (re)gain whatever control over the situation you get? One memorable game scene is the...

A few years ago, I picked up the paper to read that a schooltime friend of mine won an industry award for designing a vibrator. Don't tell me it is impossible to write a good female character because you don't know how they feel. (Yes, those things happen, and your local newspaper reports on it...

If those guys had any idea of how to run a business except for checking excel sheets for anomalies they would have put you in charge for the merchandise placement nationwide. but if you as a manager find some level employee with the extraordinary talent to sell the unsellable, would you let...

One of my favourite Episodes. Loved the outtake at the end, and the cockroach surrender.

It sounds like "Honecker" when he says it, and that was the last leader of communist eastern Germany. Kind of confused me at the start...

I must say the game is so grim it made me laugh at times. Like, when the demotivational loading screen just said "This is all your fault". Thanks for pointing that out, captain hindsight... Also I thought he would have stressed the fact that this game is a little like Final Fantasy - a movie...

So because organisations focus on domestic violence against women they are considered evil? That logic would make any society to help blind people ignorant of the deaf. Domestic violence is different between the genders, and no one stops the formation of a group to support abused men. The...

I strive to break sexist habits that I might have taken up, I watch gender role behaviour closely, and I speak when I think that someone does or says something that is sexistic. I am not so keen on the worker's rights agenda because I don't see the point in trying to fix a system that ist...

I guess it's not nice to start a relationship with a lie. So you tried to make yourself a hickie, see if it works? I hope she won't file this under self harm (yes, it's not just cutting), otherwise you just dye your hair black and talk about "the pain". Maybe she'll understand and share some...

I was about to be all "Yay! An All Girl episode!", but than that awesome necklace completely hypnotized me... Still Yay, but the necklace just rocks.
