    Poll: Am I the only Morally motivated gamer out there?

    You didn't say a single thing I could disagree with. I am a good person and I carry that with me where ever I go, and that includes the world of gaming. I understand that many like to let their alter ego out, and why not be bad when no on will really be harmed, but I can't do it. There is no...

    It Dawned on me Today... [Skyrim]

    Going neutral seems to be the way. The Empire was ready to chop off my head for no good reason, so it is hard to side with them. The Stormcloaks are a bit too racist to want to identify with them.

    Poll: Do you think this is sexist?

    I have found it preferable to treat women the way they want to be treated without concerning myself with the rightness of it. It is more a matter of self determination than sexism. Many women have found that separate is not equal, so they wish to be given the same title given to men. That...

    Let's have/create an index/discussion of games staring female main characters.

    Did anyone mention The Exile in Knights of the Old Republic II? You can play as male or female, but Star Wars cannon says this was a female. I also think Bethesda deserves some recognition in this area. They have done a good job of making their player characters gender neutral (Oblivion...

    Splinter Cell Stunt Goes Stupidly Wrong

    I can see some marketting idiot thinking this was a good idea, but how about the guy they hired? Never pull a gun unless you mean it so much you are willing to risk your life or freedom.

    Alan Wake Dev Is Disappointed With Game Journalists

    Maybe he is feigning disappointment to draw attention to the footage. That is certainly what he is doing, intentionally or not. Now I want to see it.

    Poll: Internet Piracy (need input from community for exam)

    I make every attempt to pay for the things I use, but sometimes there is no legitimate way to obtain things. In those cases, I don't feel very bad about pirating the thing I wanted. If anyone ever called me on it, I would happily pay. I used to own a software company, and as such most of...

    Question of the Day, April 18, 2010

    I don't need any more addictions, and this one doesn't even tempt me, from what I have heard so far.

    Has Gaming ever helped you out in your life?

    I think that playing games in general has taught me to know better when to be assertive, and when not to waste energy and resources.

    Poll: If you were to write a book...

    Heh heh, sounds like you got this offer and now want our help figuring what to write about *wink* I was thinking of writing a Tom Clancy like novel about something that almost happened on the web some years back. The guy who came up with the idea just got out of jail, so I won't mention...

    Poll: What would you do against impossible odds?

    Fight to the end (Denial) Surrender and hope for mercy (Acceptance) Pray for divine intervention (Bargaining) Make some kind of escape attempt (Another form of denial) Wait for the inevitable (Depression) Denial sounds good to me. Dress up like them, walk backwards out of the...

    14-Year Old Kills Father for Taking Keyboard Away

    Seems like a pretty good chance that the kid had a really bad relationship with his parents already. Did dad take the keyboard away in a manner that magnified already existing hatred of the man, or was it simply lack of sleep? I don't know about Russia, but keyboards don't seem hard to come...

    At what point did you fall in love with your favorite game?

    Pretty much all the games I play are my favorite at some point. Deus Ex: when I realized how much it took from real life (templars, illuminati, governments that use terrorist attacks and fear to control populations) Half-life: when I figured out how to beat off a zombie with a crowbar...

    Analyst: Battlefield Could be Modern Warfare Killer

    I don't think these statements came from the company, and the company probably has mixed feelings about them. The statements came from an analyst, likely telling his clients where to invest their money. He seems to be saying EA is a good investment right now.

    14-Year Old Kills Father for Taking Keyboard Away

    Some more detail would be nice. He didn't sleep for a week? That would make most people psychotic right there. Why did the kid kill the father rather than just steal the keyboard back? Sounds like there are some major pieces missing in this story.
