    Poll: Ads On The Internet = What???

    Nope. That might be, though, because I just say 'okay' and move on when I see something like "Dentists hate her!" and whatnot. Oh, that, and I use Adblock plus. Whitelisting sites that deserve it, which so far only includes the escapist. This is the way the internet should be.

    Anime and Female characters (yes, this topic again)

    -Tomoko (Watamote), Motoko (Ghost in the Shell), Rika (Higurashi no naku koro ni), Tenko (Wagaya no Oinari-sama) -Can't seem to remember any specific instances at the moment -I'm not sure. It's been this way a long time, far as I seem to remember. So basically a 'maybe?' -Probably, but I...

    The real significance of female protagonists

    Would it kill you to not come across as though you're lashing out at others? It does nothing to support your position in the debate, and frankly makes you look like a bit of a jerk. Now, that said, I see where you're coming from, but if I may bring up a tired old argument: video games are a...

    Poll: Whats your deadly sin?

    The exact degree depends, but honestly, all of them.

    Game mechanics you absolutely detest

    - Escort missions - 'Defend X for so and so long' you know, like waiting for an elevator and holding off enemies - Shitty moral choices - Situations in which only one of the game's many approaches is valid - Quicktime events, especially when it's of the type 'Wiggle the left stick to break...

    Dark Souls 2: Not as hard as people claim?

    Having played Dark Souls 1, and some of Demon's Souls (durn flatmate hogging the Ps3 grumblegrumble), I agree that Dark Souls 2 is less difficult, but it's still fun. Now, you say you've only died around 20-30 times. Fair enough. I started my first time as a Strength build myself, and found it...

    Poll: Would you kill your clone?

    Nah, he'd be too depressed and afraid (if he shares my memories, personality etc.) of the bigger questions in life to really consider thoughts of killing me. Besides, I could never bring myself to kill someone, and I imagine that would go for him as well. If anything, I guess he could adopt a...

    The inevitability of death (how do you deal with it?)

    Hey everyone, I've been doing some thinking as of late. Well, overthinking, more like. And I realized the gravity of the fact that we're all going to die some day, and our short lifespans don't exactly help matters. So needless to say, I'm terrified. Terrified at the prospect of tipping over...

    What's your age, and what are you currently most concerned about?

    I'm 21 and concerned partly about college, but the more pressing thing is how I've been having what amounts to (fairly mild) panic attacks about the inevitability of death and the fact that we don't know what comes after. It makes me afraid and sick to my stomach, and it doesn't seem to go away...

    Poll: Would you play as a truly appalling person in a game?

    Huh? What? I've already played God of War, mate. Going from just the thread title alone for shits and giggles, here

    If Nintendo Made a New 3D Metroid

    What do you mean "If"? You know they're gonna at some point.

    Twitch Plays Pokemon Somehow Manages to Beat The Game - Update

    A worthy end to a befuddling and fascinating social experiment. I really hope someone writes a paper on this.

    What should gaming developers do in terms of feminism and self-censorship?

    [MASSIVE SARCASM] No no no, OP, this won't do. *rolls eyes and clucks tongue*. When will you disgusting Cis-scum understand you need to include at least five transwomen, six queers, four otherkin and no white people? Fuck your 'creativity', you need more POCS. [/MASSIVE SARCASM]...

    I'm finally gonna play Dark Souls...advice?

    Most of the basics has already been covered pretty well here, but I'll share my two cents. - Don't get bogged down with too much/heavy armor, I guess except if you're going for full-out tanking everything. - Tying into the above, mobility is good. - Try to get enemies into one-on-one -...
