    Ender's Game Author Asks For Tolerance After Boycott Threat

    You pay for a ticket to see the movie. Part of your payment goes into his pocket. He uses part of that money to make donations to anti-LGBT organizations. Regardless of how you feel about him or his work, any money you give him he partially gives away to support certain agendas. That's just the...

    Ender's Game Author Asks For Tolerance After Boycott Threat

    If the non-homophobic community shows him tolerance, we'll only prove ourselves to be morally superior over him. Does he *want* to be viewed as the unwitting villain in this story? Nobody likes a hypocrite, Card.

    299: Casual Gamers Are Better Than You

    AHHH! WORDS WORDS WORDS! Here goes... "Casual" games are not "indie" games are not "innovative" games by default. What does that mean? It means that a casual game isn't automatically innovative, that an innovative game isn't automatically indie, and that an indie game isn't automatically...

    Poll: Would you date a transgendered person?

    Whether or not transgenderism lacks evidence of genetic origin or of having any evolutionary or sociological use is debatable. If it didn't, why would it exist throughout human history? It isn't a recent development. Also, true homosexuality in humans is still relatively rare, and gender...

    Generally Accepted Gaming Facts

    Oh, and while I'm at it, the whole quest mechanic found in virtually every WRPG ever (multiplayer or not) isn't nearly as fun or exciting as anyone ever makes it out to be. I mean... is having to kill twenty kobolds in order to get a randomly generated artifact from an NPC who stands in place...

    Generally Accepted Gaming Facts

    Tutorials are becoming more prevalent and less likable. Same goes for QTEs. Also, every game ever is overrated. It's just a matter of how overrated it is. A lot (anything Halo or Final Fantasy), or a little (anything by Valve, plenty of indie games). Don't worry, I've already got the...

    Poll: Sony Pulls Out of the Console Race

    Competition breeds quality, so no, I don't think Microsoft having a monopoly on the "hardcore" market would be a good thing. We'd see even more CoD and Halo clones than we already do.

    Poll: Would you date a transgendered person?

    I love accidentally hitting F5 after churning out paragraphs of insight. Thanks again, human error. I'll instead offer a (loaded) summary of what I was hoping to say before I screwed my dumb self over. To those who dismiss gender dysphoria and transgenderism in general as "mental...

    Poll: Do you consider yourself to be lazy?

    Extremely... but I'm working on it. Or, I will be, once I start.

    Speed runs

    I've never been one for speedruns as I'm too prone to human error due to worrying about messing up. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, but a difficult one to overcome. I have, however, done speedruns of just about every 2D MegaMan game ever (classic, X, Zero, ZX, and the Legends games despite not...

    Does anyone else do this? (Dead Island)

    It's like an insubstantial MMO with a four player cap. Even if you hate every second of the experience, you keep at it in the hopes that it'll eventually get better, or that all your hard work will pay off with sweet gear and an invincible character build. Except that never happens in Dead...

    Grow a Goddamned Skin!!!

    Because they're trolling. It's almost like they're not actually trolling and instead trying to teach us to ignore them... like a "metaform" for this very thread. That's the naive "glass half full" approach I'd like to take anyway.

    Grow a Goddamned Skin!!!

    I just took the "Which Batman Villain Are You?" quiz and, to my surprise, got the Joker as a result. So, I'm going to take the Joker's philosophy into account and say this: Learn to laugh. Learn to laugh at the disgusting bile the internet churns and excretes. Failing that, try telling yourself...

    Reboots and remakes, do you care for them?

    A thousand times, no. I'm the kind of person who revels in nostalgia, but even I can tell when something is on life support and needs to have its plug pulled, as sad as that is. Only occasionally does a remake work, and it usually needs a couple decades at least. A remake that transcends...

    How are you Internet Famous?

    Used to be semi-popular on deviantArt, until I got sick of it. Yes, I got sick of my gradually rising popularity. XD It wasn't so much the popularity itself as it was the reason I was becoming popular (or notorious, depending on how you look at it). If you're unsure why anyone would fear...
