    Bioware, Please Make A Plus-Sized Female Dragon Age Character!

    That mentality ends when you demand for a published work of fiction to meet needs not related to enjoying that work as created. Otherwise, I want to cosplay Kratos, so I should demand that he be made 5'6" and stocky. Cosplay is supposed to imitate, that's it. It is in no position to make demands.

    Poll: Skyrim: Empire or Stormcloaks?

    To me as an outside force who's not culturally influenced by Tamriel? I can't say. The Empire is better for Tamriel (when not having to placate the Thalmor), but the Stormcloaks have a good point: the Thalmor aren't going to leave it at the White-Gold Concordat. Ulfric is a blatant villain, and...

    Nintendo Exec Asks That Disappointed Metroid Fans "Trust Us"

    But nobody's going to BUY it Reggie! The niche for a loosely-themed portable co-op only shooting gallery plus soccer game and the Metroid fanbase don't overlap!

    (Science ruins everything) dinosaurs with feathers

    To be honest, cassowaries are terrifying, and I imagine the velociraptor wouldn't be less so for not being naked.

    Fallout Announcement Confirmed!

    I have to admit: having just played Fallout 1 because it was on sale, I can't see your points. Its gameplay is different, clearly, but that's moot. Let's go to the story. You have to go find a component to keep your vault from running out of fresh water. You run into side quests along the way...

    Poll: Is Cracker a derogatory term? And can one be racist against white people?

    I have to ask, though, when and why was this definition created? Was it, like the "racism=prejudice+power" argument, created recently because racism against white people does happen? As for using "prejudiced" instead of "racist," are you going to argue the same for sexism, culturalism, ageism...

    League of Legends Trolls Can Now Be Banned Within 15 Minutes of Offending

    They almost certainly won't, since they let the tribunal ban players for having too good a K-D.

    League of Legends Trolls Can Now Be Banned Within 15 Minutes of Offending

    This doesn't change the fact that anyone can report anyone for any reason, including the vague category "unsportsmanlike behavior," which can be and has been interpreted by players and tribunal as winning. You win, you get reported by the other team. You lose, you get reported by your own team...

    Mens Rights Activists

    Then how is it that people who believe in old-school "egalitarianism-in-disguise" feminism feel they have to side with their radical fringe? Where we have to fear being hated for not siding with Sarkeesian, McIntosh, Rebecca Watson, etc even though we do in fact support equality? Feminism, like...

    Mens Rights Activists

    But that's the thing... you're taking umbrage that I say it's nobler to side with humanity at large than with the movement of professional umbrage-takers who call themselves feminists. You know full well that when anyone uses the term feminism they mean women's rights advocate, and while that is...

    Mens Rights Activists

    I would expound then that you're not using the words in the modern sense. The definitions, sadly, have been altered in a way that cannot be salvaged. So, in the modern sense, how can you at the same time EXCLUSIVELY support men's rights and EXCLUSIVELY support women's rights, and then say you...

    Mens Rights Activists

    I've bumped into a few hard-core, "women are taking our balls!"-style MRAs. My last roommate was one. As a former Christian, I find from my peers that this seems to be common in religion. Especially a religion that teaches that women have no place teaching and must obey their husbands no matter...

    Trauma, Healing and Gaming Part 2: Triggers and Trigger Warnings

    I have PTSD. I feel NO reason to be catered to. If I have reason to believe a game might set me off (which NO game has, by the way), I just don't play it. If a game were to theoretically set me off, I wouldn't blame anyone for it because I have no reason or justification to. I just would never...

    Is It Possible? "A Phantom Edit" Makes Star Wars Prequels Surprisingly Good

    As someone who actually liked the prequels excepting a few cringeworthy scenes, director's cut-style edits would be so much better. Snip midichlorians, focus less on that insufferable "romance," and you've pretty much already made the prequels on par with the OT, not perfect gems of cinema...

    Would you buy a Knights of the Old Republic Reboot?

    I would love to play a KOTOR again. Maybe they can apply the formula again but to an official new-canon tale.
