    The Tao of Notch - Beyond Twitter

    Too often people have to choose between what they love and making their living; always cool to hear more from people who've been so successful at the former that they've taken care of the later. :) Ick ... I couldn't live with that either. :(

    How a character's gender should affect how they're written

    Agree and disagree. I think it's more subtle than that ... Aliens with a male cast in Sigourney Weaver's role would not be anything like the same movie. The whole mother-daughter dynamic might be mirrored with a father-daughter dynamic, but the whole mother vs mother subtext ... nah.

    Say hello to the new Iron Woman

    Can it at least be an unstable scrunchy? I mean, like, do you even super-science? >:( Rip them off? Reed gives 'em away; wouldn't be surprised if there's a vending machine at MIT.

    Poll: Realism vs player's convenience.

    Depends. I used to joke with a friend of mine "does it have a jump button?" to differentiate between, say, SWAT 3 and Duke Nukem. I *want* my sims to be sims, and my cinematics to be cinematics ... I play SWAT for reasons I love that are different for the reasons I love playing Mass Effect.

    Baldur's Gate EE: Siege of Dragonspear - Writing

    You totally should; my copy of SoA EE has over 100 hours on it (and that's just EE ... I've been playing and replaying it since it came out at the turn of the century). I didn't really care over much for the new characters, and didn't find the EE additions to be all that great, but it's still...

    BlackListed

    Kotaku is shit, like its parent. They've been shit for a long time. I don't see anyone contesting this. A couple game companies look up and say to themselves "Self, these guys are shit. Why are we talking to them again? Let's ... just stop." Queue hand wringing from Kotaku "But we're...

    BlackListed

    Did something new happen, or is this all in response to a fairly self-serving article by Stephen Totilo? (paraphrase: "They don't like to talk to us because we're hard hitting journalists that have a duty to our readers." - Source: Kotaku)

    Poll: Meat causes cancer :O | What will you do? | Human Evolution vs. Contemporary Science?

    I don't care a whole lot about the "meat vs non-meat" argument, but I don't often see folks in a public forum make an effort to actually understand each other rather than just shouting. Lord knows I don't. Kudos to you both.
