Who cares? I do. As a long time magic-player and judge, and a transgender person I really liked this story. The validation of my gender identity and a character to identify with who's presented respectfully is rare. And no, it's not better to ignore and never show trans people because that's...

I find it less distracting to know what's being said than to try to figure out what someone mumbles in a weird accent while someone else is screaming, shooting and on fire, while someone on the production team decided that extremely loud music would be fitting right now.

I absolutely loathe the fact that The Last of Us is hailed as the best we can do. It's embarrasing in how flawed the storytelling is, and the gameplay is a worse version of what we've been fed for years, and it was pretty poorly designed from the start. However, of course it's game of the...

It's extremely sexist, and I'd give it a pass on that count alone. It tried to do some interesting things with the story and the allies, but a lot of it feels shallow, and the gameplay is horrid. It's still a lot more enjoyable than most of the dreg put out these days because while it's...

The problem is that our cultural norms dictate that men are superior to women, and by extension that male traits are superior to female ones. This comes to a head in the man with boobs-trope in that, the only way for a female character to establish authority is to emulate those male traits...

Well, if you don't want to be called homophobic, you could start out by not proving the accuser correct by doing what you just did.

The Guild or it's sequel. You control a family in medieval town, trying to eke out a living as craftsmen or scholars. You can at any time control up to three members of your dynasty, marrying them off, get them houses, buy them places of work, upgrade and hire guards, workers or get involved in...

You're seventeen and writing about parkour assassins. Your problem is not going to be grammar or form immediately, you're just gotten very high grades in English, so you're probably all set when it comes to grammar and spelling, that's pretty much all that's taught and you haven't had time to...

As realistic a simulation as I could possibly make it. The player is the superintendent of the school, and can change any and all variables. Try arming everyone in the school, see if that solves things. Try metal detectors at the gates, try banning guns, try getting more psychologists involved...

I just want to point out one example of the opposite, and how it might bite you in the ass. Fallout: New Vegas. The Lonesome Road, you finally get to the end, see the final "boss" standing there, ready to amaze you with all the answers to all the questions (yeah, right, more questions, vague...

I wouldn't go under the sea, but thanks for asking Mr Captcha. Or maybe I would? I'd try to find more people. I'm naïve like that. Then I'd go morbid, and visit labs. See if I could grow some. And I'd fail, most likely, I only have a small fraction of the necessary know-how, and I lack key...

Ghost Recon. The first one. It does one thing better than any other game on the market, this one simple thing it got right. I just can't remember what it was. Oh, yeah. When you shoot people, THEY DIE. You don't have to spend several mags to the face of someone to kill them. You also get...

Every character in stripperific armour ever. By stabbing them repeatedly in all of their exposed body parts. Also, every overrated non-character ever. I know you think it's the best written character in video games, that's because they didn't write anything, they just used some cheap tricks...

Followed up by Return to Krondor a few years later. That counts, right?

You didn't really read my post, I take it? At least not the part about Dark Horse, in which the jedi slaughter their own padawans to prevent a false prophecy taking place? No, the jedi aren't the good guys, but that doesn't make the sith any less evil. A rapist isn't sympathetic for stopping...
