Ugh, go away King, you greedy producers of utter crap and leave this legitimately good game alone. The Banner Saga is more of an appropriate use of the word "saga" than Candy Crush. Makes me sad when a company that has made billions out of a cheap exploitative pay-to-win game has to power to...

Exactly this. It's annoying how so many people are defending the results and making excuses for the results of this test. It is so ridiculous for your entire gender to be generally portrayed as nothing but "supports" whose only concern in life is a man. This is evidence that most writers in...

The name in itself is beautiful, yes, but when it comes to the practical use of a name like that in the real world, I'd say the apostrophe combined with the unusual name will create very annoying life-long problems for your daughter (assuming she keeps it). It's all the small things like...

I found it difficult to motivate myself to begin assignments as well. I made it through my degree, but not without very dark times. Doing the work in a public place helps a lot. The university library was a good place for me, because next to me were lots of other students completing their...

What broca said :) It's not a rip off if it changes your life and relieves the suffering of mental illness. It won't be an instantaneous cure, because therapy is about gradually giving you, yourself, the mental tools/techniques to manage the illness and minimise the negative effects on your life.

I'm sorry about your friend. You're concerned for him and that shows you're a good friend, and it would be a shame if he lost you. I hope you don't decide to ditch him. It's tough because we can't exactly force people we care about into doing stuff.. even if it will benefit them greatly. The...

In various different MMOs I used to play, I would create alts and submit trollish, badly-written requests to support, asking hilariously dumb questions about the game. I first did it in a game where I actually knew most of the support people, and knowing their style of humour, I figured a bored...

Doing anything as a Barbarian in Diablo 3. *CRUSH* *CRUNCH* *SPLAT* :3

Seiken Densetsu 3 (Squaresoft) Dino Crisis (Capcom) I guess those are mid 90's games that were very formative for me, yet I still haven't met anyone who's played those. SD3 had a great soundtrack and a unique RPG class system that I loved. Dino Crisis was just so mega epic and awesome, I...

OP, I can understand your frustration of being in the position of being the one to initiate everything. It's frustrating because you feel like you're investing this effort and putting yourself out there and it's not being reciprocated. With relationship stuff, it's tempting to try to...

With the kind of content the site runs (or at least used to run: the thoughtful pseudo-academic writing about games in the feature articles that used to be on the main page), I feel like I can trust these forums to have a healthy cross section of the population who have similar interests as me...

Love is a powerful physiological condition developed through natural selection to help many species CREATE AND RAISE BABBY. If you make 2 individuals who mate sexually (or want to mate sexually) start to get this incredibly urge to be with the other person at all times and protect and help them...

Yeah, this kind of thing is hard to pinpoint. I think it comes down to the intent of the person making it. You'd have someone genuinely being a big fan of the original thing wanting to make a "loving homage" to the original work, and they added similar elements because they genuinely love...

You're the one missing the point. The companies who treat their employees so poorly don't deserve to stay in business, and therefore don't deserve customers doing nice things like offering to pay missed items on the bill. Andy Shady's decision is more morally reasonable, because ultimately it...

I once dreamt I fell from a great height and landed and I could feel all my bones impacting and crushing within me and the several seconds of still being alive but dying and an overwhelming sense of fear and an ultimate feeling of "It's all over". It was horrifyingly real. I woke up and was...
