    Is it time for feminists to step off our hobby?

    As a male, non-heterosexual, and a feminist (No, we AREN'T a myth!), I DO think that we need more diversity and inclusiveness in OUR hobby/interest/obsession. But NOT because a small-ish, outspoken contingent of feminism says we need to. I may be a feminist, but that doesn't mean that I'm in...

    Lack of Gay Character Options in RPGs "A Shame," Says BioWare Producer

    I don't think it would be to difficult to write LGBT relationships into RPGs, though it would probably be easier with party-based RPGs like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, etc., than open-world "Lone Hero" type games like the Elder Scrolls series. Hear me out: IF sexuality & gender identity (allowing...

    4 Reasons Why The Mass Effect 3 Debate Refuses to Die

    My biggest problem with Mass Effect 3 is that I KNOW that BioWare is capable of SO MUCH BETTER. It's the same problem I have with aspects of Dragon Age 2. Personally, I think that EA put pressure on them and forced them to do a rush job on both games, leading to an overall inferior product...

    Games you'd like to see ported to the PC

    I think they should remake (not just PORT) the Dot.Hack Series to PC. And perhaps, once all the games are released, they can make an ACTUAL MMO of "The World!"

    "This game STILL isn't out yet?!!?!?!??"

    Hell, I waited 15+ YEARS for a certain sequel! NOT Duke Nukem Forever, but Tesla Effect! In the case of the newest Tex Murphy Adventure, it was WELL WORTH the wait! Since I still haven't bothered getting the current-gen consoles, Destiny's release is kinda abstract for me. But I'm ALSO waiting...

    Naughty Dog Claims The Last of Us 2 Has 50/50 Chance of Happening

    1: MAYBE. If there were rumors that kids other than Ellie were immune to the Cordiceps, it would be interesting if Joel/Ellie went out into the world to investigate those rumors, and possibly protect those kids from people like the Fireflies and/or the military government in the quarantine...

    Is EA Really That Evil?

    Personally, I think that the BIGGEST problem EA has is what they do with companies they acquire. Say you're a smaller game company, and you put out a few FANTASTIC games that everybody raves about. Later, some huge, monolithic company offers you a LOT of money to become a part of their...

    Is EA Really That Evil?

    I was (AM!) a huge Wing Commander fan, and was quite bitter when EA ate Origin up & completely digested them into non-existence. Same thing with Sierra; I really liked the Phantasmagoria games!

    Ballad (?) of an ex-goth

    So, you lost the Goth Game(tm) too, eh? Here I am, 37 years old, still into Goth/Industrial music... Why would I stop when the bands I like are still putting out CDs?

    cybernetic implant

    The Mr. Studd Implant. Read the old Cyberpunk 2020 rulebook if you can't figure that one out! Actually, I'd get a multi-program Nano-Hive.

    Biowares announcment and what will it be the about.??

    Hey; maybe it's a new Monkey Island game! I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd go for that! They can even write in Jack Thompson as a sidekick for LeChuck! You all know you want it.

    Why can't fantasy RPGs be more original?

    I think that a game, or series of games, based on the Coldfire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman would be pretty interesting!

    Best fictional worlds to make games from

    There was a Blade Runner game, back in the Pentium I/Windows 95 era. Hell, there were a LOT of good games back then. Does anyone else miss games like the Tex Murphy series, or the Phantasmagoria games?

    Why can't fantasy RPGs be more original?

    Tolkien was a hack; there's no two ways about it. IMO, he was a substandard author. But I do have to give him a bit of credit; if it wasn't for him, a lot of the excellent fantasy novels we see today most likely wouldn't exist. Of course, a lot of the absolute crap novel out there wouldn't...
