The obvious answer is being said over and over again: a good gay character is a good character who is gay. What should be discussed is how that character should be brought into the game. Will they be accepted in their world? Are they single? Do they want to be single? I think it would be...

The belief that good deeds are pointless without exclusive personal profit. and The belief that human beings in their natural state are not violent selfish animals. I cannot accept the humanist belief that humans will preserve each other simply because it's morally correct. The only reason...

Are you a BOY or a GIRL?

I am an Italian who speaks with his hands. My father, a man more Italian than I, once exploited this shared weakness by grabbing me by both hands in the middle of a discussion and I honestly could not form words anymore. I'm also a flowery theatre kid who sometimes wears women's clothing...

I live in Virginia and I remember when they caught a guys in Petersburg (aka Murdertown) for selling drugs out of his ice cream truck.

Dropping a well thought out visual aesthetic in favor of one that "tested better". I'm looking at you Golden Sun. The quasi-claymation players and enemies with stretching and warping sprites gave the first two games such a nice storybook feel. The third ditched it for poorly drawn, polygonal...

While society does place a larger importance on physical attractiveness on females, it is not a female exclusive issue. Want proof? Look at the last ten U.S. presidents and then look at the last ten presidents before Lincoln; the first president to be photographed. The former are 'generally'...

Good lord. It is not false logic. It's not even illogical or anti logic. No. This is the void of logic. The absence of logic, of comprehension, of reason and of that which ties all things together: relativity. This is the great emptiness. The void of logic.

My favorite signature weapon for an entire series (a weapon that represents the series): The Sol Blade in Golden Sun For a specific character: Link's hookshot. That's right folks. I love being able to whip it out, point it at something, find the one pixel of wood on it, and then teleport there...

Beastly- STOP LAUGHING When Vanessa Hudgen's says to Pettyfer, the fifteen people I was with each gave there own reaction. Everything from "Ooooo" to "SSSSsss, fuck man". I did my best Mortal Kombat voice and shouted: "FRIEND ZONED!"

With Cosplay Day fast approaching, I would like to know what the Escapist will be cosplaying. I myself am a little bit stuck. I have curly- *sigh*- "jewfro" hair. Due to the difficulty of animating or programing curly hair, very few characters with curly hair are available for those of us of...

FF3 (USA) + Zach and Miri Make a Porno +Brave New World This doesn't seem to fit with itself. It's contradictory at every corner.

To Kill a Mockingbird This is a book that is able to put forth a lot of information and symbolism without being to heavily saturated like Heart of Darkness(my personal all-time favorite) or too wordy like LotR(never read it, never saw it, played the "Hobbit" video game though). It is a great...

Half-Life: Opposing Force protagonist. Default. I assumed that a fancy name would leave gaps in the dialouge.
