I have always been of the opinion that it's okay to be offended by something. That's how you feel! No one has the right to tell you that you can't feel the way you honestly do. Women can get offended by "fighting fucktoys." I get it, it's totally understandable, I'm not mad that they're...

So, putting aside all the controversy about the terrible things #gamergate started with, and just talking about #gamergate as it stands right now... This thread wouldn't be a debate, except #gamergate supporters keep on bringing up the debate. You can say that you have transcended the need...

The biggest image problem is that the misogyny was the rally banner for #Gamergate. Not OVERT misogyny. Not "ALL WOMEN ARE CUNTZ WHO DESERVE TO DIEE!!!!111!1". The image problem was that this issue of broken journalistic integrity has been HUGE for years. Decades even. And no one did anything...

I am prepared to say that any answer other than How to Train Your Dragon is objectively wrong.

Here for Blade Runner, leaving happy seeing it in the third post. So moving.

A) Don't tank the creeps. If you see you've gotten aggro, run back until the aggro breaks and return. B) Keep moving to avoid spell harass C) Learn your hero's attack animation to last hit properly (when appropriate, don't steal farm if you're the lane's support). D) IF YOU ARE A MELEE CARRY...

As anyone who's played The Walking Dead can tell you, a game can be horrifying without being scary. Dread and sadness make for something that is horrifying without being scary.

I'd rather someone overtly hold a KKK rally than secretly not hire me, not accept me into a college, or deny me a loan or housing because of my race. But that's just me. The worst kinds of racism (speaking to the modern day US) aren't the overt hatred but the internalized biases that we don't...

YES. The game was about people with problems, and nothing was so cathartic as a good character as to help them fix them. Even thought it was just plain text and motionless pixilated art it was so moving. You could understand each character's emotions so naturally: the shame of the guilt-stricken...

If you've got an old school DS or a Game Boy Advance, you can try Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodiss. It is the game that Disgaea was made from.

So, I work with sex offenders as my day job. Most of them are nice guys who ended up making a poor decision with someone underage. Let me break down how these fine gentlemen got caught up in... THE OFFENSE CHAAAAAAAAAIN 1) The seemingly unimportant decision. In this step, you make a poor...

People who clap or cheer during movies are not actually human beings. They are pod people, sent here to destroy us, and there is only one way to stop them. Douse them in kerosene, and set them alight. If you believe that the people on the moving screen can see and hear you, then you are from...

No one has mentioned Courtenay Taylor? I'd nominate her. She never fails to inject her characters with enthusiasm for what they're doing, no matter what that is. She's been type cast as the anti-hero character, because no one likes a boring, grim, sullen anti-hero, but she does have a decent...

Full disclosure: I am a 27 year old male. This may make my reasons for liking the book different from everyone else's. My pleasure from the first book came from three elements. A) The love story isn't formulaic. It's certainly informed from the love-triangle thing that's so popular with...

Short answer: yes. Long answer: Yes, Planescape: Torment.
