    Issues in Gaming that Need to be Addressed

    The regressive nature of gaming discourse. Reading average users championing the ideas of judging games piece by piece with numbered scores has made me so very very sad. Or people being adverse to anything remotely political in relation to games. (Deus Ex for example is pretty damn subversive...

    Poll: The Use of "Pixel Art" in Modern Games

    I agree, but I would add that i personally do love it when a game like Shovel Knight for instance works within those specific limitations but still looks great in terms of aesthetic value.

    Escape to the Movies: Blackhat - Haxxor

    Okay, maybe you don't quite understand. A hacker breaking into your computer and vandalizing it and or breaking it is a one time thing. Get a new computer problem solved. Its completely different from being a target of a hate mob in which all channels of communication are flooded by insults...

    Poll: Worst gaming trend?

    Perhaps 'terrible' was the wrong word. Perhaps 'guilible' and or 'easily goaded into righteous indignation over nothing'. Though I am a person who hates anon culture or whatever you call it on those *chan boards. Its all bullshit. Yet people take it so god damn seriously to the point of...

    Poll: Worst gaming trend?

    Hah, I was going to post a very long winded thing about trends and such but the fact 180 votes on Game Journalism Corruption pretty much demonstrates the point I was going to make. Gamers themselves are the problem. Developers are doing just fine, if somewhat afraid to do 'new' things. The...

    The Top 10 Worst Portrayals of Gamers on Television

    I can't help but shake the feeling some of the negative stereotypes of gamers sometimes coincide with reality. I mean of course most of it probably stems for lazy writing but at the same time when it comes to Games Programmers IN film, they aren't too far off. Like in the case of the Film...

    The Big Picture: Remembering the Real Jack Thompson

    I am starting to hate youtubers more and more. The way people listen to them reminds me of the un-critical hoard that listened to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and greedily licked up his droppings leading to the poisoning of their minds. There is so many lies about Anita floating around STILL...

    Are nerds/geeks/gamers/whateverweare more kinky?

    All I know is that there tends to be a strong correlation for it. I personally think it has to do more with having a privileged background, the nerdy stuff being tangential to that.

    Future Gaming Developers - Your Dream Games.

    Post-Modern JRPG with Diverse Characters. Kinda like a more modern Breath of Fire with huge splashes of color and very convoluted story about just how hard it is to 'save the world'.

    What's the line between a sex object and a sexual/sexy character?

    to me objectification is just one aspect of the entire spectrum of shittiness that has to do with how people relate to sex and sexuality. Anyone can be objectified. Given mainstream sexuality in the USA is pretty much Women being Givers of Sex to Males, that is usually where the bulk of it lays...
