    Games you like that you can admit can be a bit cringe-worthy sometimes

    Well, I must say that's good to hear. At least that means that people with actual legitimate concerns also have a voice. Because you have to admit that in media and politics it's usually the upper class jobs that get addressed, especially management positions. Because that's more what I meant by...

    1) Neither men nor women had political representation, unless they had enough money. And politics was usually about war (which men fought), trade (which men conducted) or taxes (which men eventually paid); most of which was over the heads of the common people and they certainly didn't get a say...

    Games you like that you can admit can be a bit cringe-worthy sometimes

    Define 'property', because, in most historical societies, men had major legal obligations to their wives. Men who treated their wives badly or just plain failed to provide were usually ostracized by the family and society as a whole. I don't know about other parts of the world, but in most of...

    Just a question, how was medieval society demeaning to women? Men did the hard, difficult, dangerous work, because women simply weren't physically able to. Meanwhile, women often had their hands full with the household and raised the children with exactly the same ideas on how society should...

    Uncommon words you use commonly

    And of course lambaste everyone who uses it incorrectly. That said: 'lambaste'. Plus, I live in a foreign country with a different language, so I use a lot of uncommon words.

    The First Lego Batman Movie Teaser Has Darkness, A Lack of Parents

    People compare things that are different. It makes a lot more sense than comparing things that are the same. OT: Not entirely convinced that Lego Batman can actually support an entire movie without becoming tiresome. But whatever, I like Batman, I like Lego, will probably see it anyway.

    Buying games you already own... again!

    Oh, yeah, loads. I blame remasters, Steam Sales and the fact that I no longer have access to my PS3. - MGS2 on PC, PS2 and PS3 - MGS3 on PS2 and PS3 - Shadow of the Colossus and Ico on PS2 and PS3 - Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Warrior Within and Two Thrones on PC (twice: retail and...

    8 Anime Antagonists That We Secretly Like

    Agreed, except she wasn't really likeable to me as a character, which I think was the point of the article. Pfft, Epyon was pretty good at proving the exact opposite. Can't kill what you can't hit. And from what evidence the animation gives, it seems gundanium can take a lot more punishment...

    8 Anime Antagonists That We Secretly Like

    While I wouldn't have picked Zechs when there are plenty of other choices from Gundam (even from Wing I'd rather pick Treize, that classy bastard), but Char has never interested me that much. Maybe because Zeta was the first UC series I watched and Char was just... around... not doing much. I'd...

    What are You Playing Now / Last Game You Beat

    That's where I am now. Have been doing lots of side missions and messing around with Mother Base. I'm at 50+ hours now, finished chapter 1, and I have no interest in doing more of chapter 2. It just seems so pointless. The gameplay was great, but the story is so half-assed that I can't be...

    What are You Playing Now / Last Game You Beat

    Last game I finished? Don't know precisely. I think I finished Tomb Raider (the first new reboot thing one) and a campaign in Shogun 2 at about the same time. It was the first time I actually finished a Shogun 2 campaign; In Total War games I have the tendency to abandon games when I get to the...

    Race - A Giant Middle Finger to Nazi Germany

    Nazis discriminated based on everything that didn't fit the 'master race', including homosexuals, mentally and physically disabled people, whatever. Racism was only a part of it. Not being racist, but still supporting eugenics in its most disgusting form still makes you a nazi, I'm afraid.

    China Displaces 9000 To Build World's Largest Alien-Seeking Telescope

    All very sad for the locals who get screwed over by the government (nothing new and certainly not exclusive to China), but that thing does look pretty damn cool. Don't care if people think I'm a bad person for saying so.
