    Most inappropriate thing you saw as a kid

    Plenty of things, but the worst was probably playing Diablo when I was 4. The Butcher saying "Ahhhh, fresh meat!" gave me nightmares.

    You must change a paradise into a hell, by changing one thing...

    These solutions are all far too elaborate, there's an easy way to turn any human-inhabited place into a hellhole, remove all the plumbing. It depends on how much you enjoy having sex with butter.

    Give me some VNs.

    The Muv Luv trilogy. Don't give up on this 2 hours into the first game like I did. The reason you read this is for the finale, but it can't stand on its own so unless you absolutely hate it give it a chance. The story is amazing with plenty of twists, some obvious and others definitely...

    Recommend me a game to get invested in?

    I doubt you're going to find games that fit all your criteria that you haven't already heard of and are worth playing. I can think of a couple of games but neither are multiplayer. X3 Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude Sandbox space flight sim. You start out small but eventually you could be...

    What Makes A Game Truly Pretentious

    The dictionary definition of the word is largely irrelevant here since it obviously doesn't fit the situations the OP described. Language is a democracy and the meaning of a word changes depending on how the majority of people use it, regardless of how you feel about it (literally *grumble...

    What Makes A Game Truly Pretentious

    In any medium, a story is pretentious when some aspect of it is sacrificed for the sake of the author. While sending the audience a message can be a good thing, it ALWAYS takes second place to the story (and in games the gameplay). What makes any story pretentious is the author believing that...

    Informing children of the birds and the bees

    I never really had "the talk" with my parents. My mother bought me a book on the human body when I was 5 and I got the basic information from there. Anything I was curious about she was fine with telling me and fortunately as a nurse she new what she was talking about. Also to this day I have...

    So people think I'm gay...

    My advice is to not sweat it, correct people if you want to but they can think what they want, it shouldn't change how you view yourself. I've been asked what my sexual preference was before (my friends fortunately have enough tact not to assume one way or the other) but I've never actually been...

    About Now and Then, Here and There (Anime)

    So I heard about this anime a while ago and finally decided to check it out. I was told that it had a great story and interesting characters but was very dark and depressing. I just finished the 5th episode and I'm definitely not feeling that it lives up to that description. The story for...

    Poll: Dating Someone Blind/Deaf/etc.

    I would date someone if they were blind or deaf, as long as they aren't easily offended. My sense of humour is very much on the dark side and I am entirely tactless around people I'd call my friends.

    Saints Row IV Dev Offers Free DLC To Aussie Customers

    They don't need to make a Tony Abbott mask, I'm sure there's already a monkey mask in the game.

    Games you love, but no one else seems to know about or remember.

    Croc: Legend of the Gobbos It was the first game I ever owned but barely anyone I know has heard of it.

    Why do PC Gamers Oppose Using a Controller?

    Because it's an extra peripheral that you wouldn't need to buy if the control scheme was ported better. If you have a PS3 or 360 you can just use the controllers from them but many PC gamers don't own either. There's also the fact that some people just prefer a keyboard and mouse and find...

    Know of any mature/serious anime?

    I definitely second Steins;Gate and Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Steins;Gate has a great story and strong characters and while it can get a little silly it's never over the top with the crazy. Puella Magi Madoka Magica might seem terrible at first (god damn magical girls) but give it till...

    How to Talk About Games #3

    There's nothing wrong with saying something is just your opinion as long as you accept that it cuts both ways. If you use that line then you're admitting that you've lost the argument but your opinion of the game is unchanged.
