The fethishizing of difficulty in games is not, to my mind, a positive thing at all. While a game that caters to different levels with its settings is ideal, a game that is relatively easy is no less a game. There are a lot of easy games that are great. There are a lot of easy games that would...

SP: Morrowind (and Skyrim to a lesser, related degree). AC2 (I've played through it quite a few times though.) MP: Minecraft. And the most limitless by far: Achaea. MUDs will steal your life.

"Finish Skyrim"? lol.

A better question: why does everyone care so much? If you want people to stop treating him as a celebrity, stop caring so deeply about whether he apologizes appropriately, etc. While I think it was perhaps blown out of proportion, I have very little sympathy with yogscast over the...

The best thing you could possibly do to the WBC would be to ignore them.

Short answer: no. Long answer: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Breton because it seemed to give the best old wizard-looking options (wrinkles, knotted beard, milky eye with a scar and tattoo). For my assassin, I did a Argonian since I really like the way they look in Skyrim and haven't ever played a beast race in a TES game. It was only later that I...

The question gets really silly when you try to talk about things like the end of the universe. Look at the question of heat death for instance: If you're immortal and retain the ability to act, the heat death can never occur since you yourself can generate entropy. But how do you get the...

All strategy games ever. Total Annihilation Sins of a Solar Empire Starcraft Starcraft 2 Warcraft 3 Age of Empire 1-3 Supreme Commander and several more I can't think of right now. I tend to get a very strong sunk cost issue when my plans don't go well and have trouble pursuing...

This is exactly why mods exist - to change things that certain people want changed, but are not central to the design concept or most people would not be comfortable with. But suggesting that this is some unreasonable oversight by Bethesda or that this design decision was a mistake because...

Well done. I don't have much to add, but you are far from the first person to suggest this. And you won't be the last. And all of the people with friends will all still (rightfully) insist that you're wrong. As you yourself stated, this belief is based on the patterns you yourself have...

Upstate New York/Northern California.

To begin, about two years ago, I would have agreed with you entirely. I even got into a prolonged argument on these very forums about the issue around the time I started coming here. But there are some significant problems with the logic here: First, the number of people who are overweight...

The "same game" people unilaterally ignore the fact that each game has an entirely different campaign. If you completely ignore that, then yes, they're almost exactly the same and subsequent iterations amount to expensive patches. As for why people pay $60: if you took one of my favorite...

My favorite funny moment thus far was my marriage and the subsequent few minutes. I was just about to start up a new character, having done everything I wanted to do with my mage. The last thing I wanted to do, however, was get gay-married. So I got the amulet thing and went to Onmund in the...
