    Ready Player One Trailer

    Sounds like you have about the same interpretation as me, yep. This guy looks what I think of as "Hollywood average" - which is to say, someone that's pretty cute by normal standards, but isn't the typical super-hot-leading-man type. (I mean, he's no Ricky Whittle.) He's pretty close to what I...

    Ready Player One Trailer

    I'm always paranoid about adaptations of good things. But the trailer's quite nice, aesthetic looks about right to me, and what is glimpsed of the acting looks just fine. Color me cautiously optimistic! (I imagine that that's a nice pleasing blue-grey.) Genuine question here, not trying to be...

    Spirits of the Season: Kindest/Most Generous Character in a Game

    How about Cole from Dragon Age: Inquisition? ...okay, maybe I'm reading a bit close to the letter, but he is literally a spirit of compassion. Sure, he effs it up occasionally (especially, uh, before his appearance in the games), but the kid tries his best.

    Choose a new voice actor for Destiny's Ghost

    Morgan Freeman. I'd probably actually play Destiny if he voiced Ghost. Just think of how wonderful it would be... ...also acceptable.

    What 'Class' Do You Naturally Tend To Play In Games?

    In order of what I usually play: For fantasy RPGs: Mage (healer, or crowd-control DPS if I'm not allowed to heal) > tank-y sword-and-shield type > backstabby dagger-y rogue type > everything else. But this varies a bit, since I tend to get impatient with cast times, so I may veer more...

    Show Me Your Inquisition Face

    Show off my Inquisitor? Why yes, gladly. Arali, the Dalish rift mage. Yes, she does look somewhat angry all the time, and I love her for it.

    Are Men Bullying Female Gamers?

    I've seen this quite a bit - I'm not a Magic: the Gathering gal, but the few times I've been in casual fighting game tournaments and the like (the sort hosted by a local game store, nothing professional here, haha) there are the guys that immediately lose the decency that they had previously...

    When's the last time you read books like these?

    A black author: Well, I know that I read Kindred, by Octavia Butler, a little less than a month back. To be technical, I "re-read" it, since it's a great book. I may have read other books by black authors more recently, but I'm not sure. I'm not entirely sure of the race of the authors of...

    Do you feel ill at ease going certain places yourself?

    I, too, find movies awkward when I go by myself. Totally illogical, I know, but I do. And I find restaurants awkward to a point - if it's a nice restaurant, I'll won't go by myself, but if it's a fast food place, I usually sit in a booth with my legs up and read on my kindle as I snack...

    Does gaming turn people ______?

    As a feminist, pacifistic gamer, I can state with certainty that playing video games has not turned me sexist or violent. Do I believe that games can turn people sexist or violent? Depends. On the large part, no, I don't think so at all. A person with a firm grasp on reality probably...

    What's the most awesomest book you've ever read?

    There are no words to describe how much I love, love, love that book. I die laughing every time I reread it. "Jew-do." -snort- In the same vein of ridiculously awesome, slightly sacrilegious books, there's also Good Omens. I mean... written in a collaboration between Terry Pratchett and...

    GTV V: Are people actually going to skip work to play it? (EDITED)

    I'm not going to, as I'm not a GTA person - and even if I was, that's just not the kind of thing I do. But I remember my (I believe senior year of) high school, when GTA IV came out - both my band instructor and our student teacher band instructor were MIA the first day GTA was released, and...

    What do I do with my life?

    As a fellow writer, I say - never give up, and always keep writing. Whenever you can. Lunch breaks when you find a job, before you go to bed, whenever. You should never give up on something if you're really passionate about it. And the more you write, the more you improve. I'd be happy to...

    What's the most boring book you've ever read?

    I second this. I was an English major - you'd think I'd be immune to kinda slog-ish books. But no. Moby Dick defeated me. 150 pages in, the only thing I could remember was "Call me Ishmael."

    What books would make for a great game?

    I think a game based on the The Remaining series would be awesome. Sure, zombie-apocalypse settings are fading, but it'd be a great, great game. Mostly because it's a great series. You could take on the role of a person from a different bunker and, as the in-book motto goes, rescue and...
