So I ran into an old Escapist at uni today, reminded me to come and visit. Also because I've been doing things.

I did things! Horray! Also, holy shit, this thread is still going five years on. Daaaaaaaaamn.

Because violence isn't included as a moral theme, unless maybe it's Spec Ops. It's included because games are about challenge and antagonism, and the easiest way to express this is through violence. It's design shorthand, a simple premise to enable the primary feature of games; that they're a...

But what is the history and culture of Conifer, Colorado, US? Is this a small town founded on logging? Maybe farming, or mining. Or did it spring up around a railroad station? Was there a significant murder in the 70s related to far-away crime syndicates? Is there a local indigenous...

I do think that one should have to see a doctor to get them, because having medical knowledge very much helps when it comes to brands and the like, and hormone therapies such as the pill can be very problematic. The problem is the availability of doctors, and the ability of people to pay for...

If you had an unlimited budget my suggestion would be that you get a video game developed which explores the area in the period. Hell, you could use a Google Earth/google street view style thing to be able to move around the town in a virtual space, see historical events. In terms of getting...

Psssh. The mods here like totally suck, and that Nasrin, god, she never accepts my proposal for April Fools shenanigans where we ban everyone who posts in a randomly selected thread for a year. Something about public relations and not want to expose the general forum population to my insatiable...

In the line of an actual reason, I find it boring. There's been little musical variation or creativity in the (admittedly few) songs that I have heard from the genre. To be fair I say much the same about some Metal too. I can't hear the lyrics enough to work out whether they're clever enough to...

I remember it. I was like, 7, when I played a version on DOS, but I remember.

I'm just tossing in my two cents here. On the basis that someone who has transitioned M-to-F is female, if you're straight it isn't weird, or conflicting with heterosexuality. My suggestion would be talk to her about it. She may or may not be interested in you. If she is, then talk over any...

You can't show that to the pleb-.. users! They will know the source of Kross's Power! They are not yet prepared for this, I tell you. It can only end badly!

Ohhh. Dan Abnett would be by far my favourite writer, but favourite individual novel is harder. His series I have adored, and it would be impossible to pick one book from Gaunt's Ghosts which I could favourite, or one book from Ravenor or Eisenhorn. As such, the title must go to Titanicus. I...

The two threads for this have been merged. This may cause some issues with the post order as it simply puts them in based on time.

What are you defining as non-fiction? I read more than a dozen blog posts, news stories and opinion pieces a day. I read a lot of journal articles and textbooks. I find them interesting. I can't say I read much by way of histories but that's more a lack of them than anything else. I have read a...

By three years I mean four years. 30 September 2008 it was started. I can add, dammit.
