I strongly support any effort to discuss important issues like this withing the games community. Examining the role race plays in peoples lives is fascinating (especially in how it relates to identity).

Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (also known as just Amélie) A beautiful and quirky film about an introverted girl learning how to deal with other people. Part of it's greatness (beyond the extreme charm of Audrey Tautou) is that it really feels explicitly and unapologetically French in...

[WARNING FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS: My opinions are not rated by the ESRB and may enrage you, I will occasionally make statements where I offer my opinion of the value of certain works of media [example: Modern Warfare is a really bad games, all things considered [I also will make suggestions of...

Having a tremendous fear of razor blades reading "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" where immensly disturbing. Even if it wasen't disturbing for me, random quoting of Ulysses drove my friend crazy with all it's brilliant language.

He is Oscar, I am Fyodor. Crime and Punishment has the worst ending ever, even if the point it tries to make it pure gold.

Woah, good to see you (or atleast your writing). While your ability to write is as good as ever, I am gonna have to agree with NewClassic that it seems your writing really becomes to personal to actually say something about anything. (or I might just be grouchy until the local food store...

Videogames don't do tragedy, this is in itself a sad statement, but a true one. Last year while playing GTA IV I felt horribly disappointed when the final mission was like an inevitable approach to a certain doom. Kate, the woman who Niko (and me through him) had put all his hopes of finding...

A step in the right direction indeed! Infact, I want more hip-hop! OutKast and Alicia Keys next.

The example the comes to mind for me would be the utterly fantastic GTA: San Andreas. Like all GTA games it contains vastly exaggerated stereotypes of everything. But one of the main reasons I really liked it was that it essentially was a (unrealistic) game about black gang members in the 90ies...

I had a friend who was talking about it once. The whole idea is completely insane, exploiting psychological weaknesses to get laid? I believe this takes sexism and the objectifing of wimmen to a whole new level. Even if you don't do it to get laid you are basicly toying with the emotions of...

Braid is not a maybe download, it's a must. A strong recomendation for Oblivion or Civilisation Revolutions if you want two great time sinks.

Greek, no question about it. Ofcourse I mean ancient Greek; reading Paul and Homer in original is quite a joy.

Queen and Springsteen have my full endorsement aswell. If they would want to add a really hard Through Fire and Flames song I would recomend Blind Guardian, power metal that actualy sounds good. A good Radiohead song, There There or Where I End and You Begin. Some U2 would be a dream...

Personally I would like Rock Band to skip all genre limitations and sell any DLC that sounds and plays good. Give me Alcia Keys or OutKast dammit!

So not wanting to expose your children to something you think is wrong is something horrible now? While I agree that Christians who harras homosexuals are really acting quite silly they don't really have to embrace the ideals of it. If some people want to be conservative in their gift buying...
