    Zero Suit Samus has a great character model

    Perhaps I should remind you that this game is being made in Japan.

    -ism's on tumblr

    Thats just a ridiculous thing to say. People have never believed that war is wonderful, you're showing a severe lack of basic history knowledge here. Women likely weren't allowed in war for very simple reasons. 1) Girls aren't as strong as men and therefore make poor soldiers (at least...

    Nintendo is kiddy, yet most of their franchises are very neutral

    Honestly, I cant believe people even use the word 'kiddy' as an adjective. It sounds almost like a slur. 'Your games are kiddy! You'll never be cool like me, I play GTA ' *smarmy laugh* - 12 year olds on the internet

    Nintendo Suddenly Claims Ownership Of Many YouTube Videos

    Ok, so a lot of people are saying that because LP'ers add their own personality on top of the game, they should be exempt through fair use. The problem here is that they are not creating something entirely new, but rather taking the original media in its entirety and then adding a commentary...

    Okami HD

    Im not sure if its possible to really see what is so great about the game in an hour and half. Im not saying you'd definately like it if you stuck with it, but stopping so early is like stopping ocarina of time before you even reach hyrule field.

    What's Your View on Animal Rights?

    Humans ARE animals. Slaughtering an adult human causes just as much suffering as slaughtering an adult cow. I have never managed to find an omnivore who can explain to me why we are justified in killing and eating farm animals, but not killing and eating humans (without resorting to some...

    Is it selfish to prevent people from commiting suicide?

    You said what I wanted to in far fewer words than I ever could. A cookie for you, good sir.

    Is it selfish to prevent people from commiting suicide?

    When did I say I had no experience. I have dealt with many depressed close friends in my lifetime. The operating word there being almost. What about the fraction of people (and with global suicide rates continuing to rise, that fraction represents a LOT of people) who don't actually feel...

    Is it selfish to prevent people from commiting suicide?

    Also, to all the people parroting 'suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem' What do you propose instead, a temporary solution? Permanent solutions are the best kind of solution (indeed, you could argue the only kind)

    Is it selfish to prevent people from commiting suicide?

    The general sentiment I am hearing in this thread makes me sick to my stomach, which I guess is hardly surprising these days. First off, Im going to set the record straight. I am not depressed. I have never been depressed. I am a well balanced individual, in that respect. I can keep my...

    I've seen a lot of stories lately on the Police in the US. This is by far the worst.

    Running away from a policeman should carry the death penalty - Arsen Only in America...

    Poll: Genes and children Or why some should not have kids

    As an antinatalist, I have noticed the conspicuous lack of a 'NOBODY is responsible enough to create life' option on your poll. I guess I have to go with no, since I dont think anybody should breed.
