    Manga Translator Appeals Child Pornography Charges

    Another rare example of people having criminal charges put on them despite not owning any child abuse images or having committed any real life sexual offences. We cannot conflate looking at and drawing images with actual immorality. Simulated child pornography (i.e. Material intended to look...

    Norwegian Mass Murderer Defends Gaming Habits

    Argumentum ad hominem. His argument and reasons are not devalued because he is a murderer. I'm appalled by his actions and i totally see why people are calling him a monster, but in a lot of ways he seems sane (depending on what standards your judging him by.)

    What is God's last name?

    Yeah, thanks. It's a sensible rule, but still, mitigating circumstances! And about 3 other people did it with impunity, so i still feel sorry for the guy.

    What is God's last name?

    Kind of off topic, but do you get an automatic warning if you post something less than three words? I'm feeling sorry for the person who posted "Zilla" and got a warning.

    Fallout Fan Takes On Bethesda's Lawyers

    Come on. It is just fanart and parody. Now maybe there are a few subtleties to the issue, but i don't see how this is significant different to the millions of other works of fanart lying around on the net that "infringe" on the original work.

    Have you ever played through a game and completely missed a game play feature?

    In my first playthrough of Persona 3 i didn't realise that you could exit the dorm and get onto the city map through the left side of the screen. Totally had an existential crisis when they removed that "feature" from Persona 3 Portable!

    Take The Escapist's 2012 April Fools Day Quiz!

    I wondered if the joke would be that you'd get 100% or first place no matter what. I liked the few/fewer one, at least there were a couple i'd not heard.

    Asura's Wrath Review

    Thank you! That's pretty cool and novel. I really value a good soundtrack in a game or anime.

    Asura's Wrath Review

    Very interesting and good looking. I think a lot of characters are voiced by relatively well known Anime voice actors, it's fun to pick them out. However, I doubt it will top my personal favourite original sci-fi game with Hindu themes,Digital Devil Saga (DDS is more buddhist than Hindu...

    Katawa Shoujo - Most intriguing storyline?

    Hanako. I truly felt alive and experienced the emotions as if they were my own, including love! I also felt a profound weight to many of the choices, so i'm slightly terrified to go back and check the bad ending routes! I found it to be emotionally exhausting. I will make sure to thoroughly...

    Disabled Girl Dating Sim Katawa Shoujo Finally Available

    Downloaded it. How nice that it's free. I'd just like to add that it's good to approach any media without too many assumptions. It may be seen as offensive in itself to instantly assume unfamiliar japanese media is going to be perverted or is somehow morally wrong. It's a slightly suprising...

    Game endings that just ruined almost the entire game for you.

    You can find a lot of people complaining about the ending to Eternal Sonata. Although the game has some strong points, like it's excellent soundtrack, it really fell apart at the end. I tried to make sense of it all and kind of went from "this is deep, complicated and really emotional" to "o.k...

    a bit of dark souls help!

    Unless i missed something in the most recent patch. The enemies and bosses definetly do not scale as you level up. However, grinding is of limited use. It's not time to go to the Catacombs quite yet. Since you have rung the first bell, your next bell is down below blighttown. once you get to...

    Unskippable: Atelier Totori

    Episodes on games by Gust are always brilliant. I believe this was the one that had a bit of age rating controversy. Funny stuff. Is it safe to say that the soundtracks have been getting worse since Atelier Iris? Maybe the older stuff's just nostalgic.
