    Sexualized characters that were done right.

    My girlfriend and I were just talking about this a couple weeks ago and decided the best examples were Dante from Devil May Cry and particular women in Final Fantasy, specifically FFX-2 girls and Lightning Returns do a great job. The key is making it a fantasy for both parties or keep the...

    Poll: Am I disgusting for not paying for the first date?

    I usually offer to pay if I go out with someone. Even if it's just some male friend I'm hanging out with. Usually the other person (female or otherwise) tries to pay for it all or their half and I just say "you can get the next one", setting up the stage to go out again. But yeah, I dunno, I...

    Are humans, animals?

    Omega, based on what you've been arguing, you seem to be making the point that animals don't have personhood, while we clearly do. Yes, we are far above other species when it comes to intelligence and reasoning. It sets us apart. But "animal" is a different term, and as everyone has been saying...

    DotA vs LoL...which is better?

    I started playing years ago on Warcraft 3 with DotA. It's a great game and pretty much started a whole new genre. A few years ago with WC3 dying, I tried out LoL and HoN (which I never hear of now, haha, forget about this one), and then DotA 2 once that was available. All-in-all, I think...

    Poll: Lets see where we "REALLY" fall. (PC / Console / Both)

    Everything. I play a lot of games on my PS3, such as JRPGs and some just fun action stuff like Dynasty Warriors. I also use handhelds a lot playing Pokemon and pokemon and sometimes some other stuff and more pokemon. However I also play various RTSs, being big into Warcraft 3, then into...

    Games you wished you liked

    That is what happened with me (only with Brand). Then I started playing all the other game modes and it reignited the game for me. Classic was just too stuffy with lots of jerks and a restrictive meta game. 3v3, dominion, and ARAM, however, were lots of fun. Felt like a whole new game jumping...

    Poll: The Four Temperaments: which one are you?

    Descriptions don't seem to work for me, I'm definitely a combination of them. Suppose it depends on my environment somewhat. Test said Choleric though. Personality quizzes are always fun, even if they are pretty silly.

    Escapists, what are your deep dark gaming secrets?

    I hate all the Elder Scrolls games because they feel virtually unplayable. I've played games in beta that were less glitchy than those. I want to enjoy them so much too, but they just feel unfinished. Too many copy-paste quests/dungeons/people, too many bugs, and often meh combat. Played...

    Oh shit they picked......

    Meta knight in smash bros is ridiculously strong once you get with good players and I hate it. I mean, it's a brawling maelstrom of chaos in SSB anyways so I usually just play for fun, but the one time I tried being competitive, uuugghhh. As for LoL, I depends on the game mode and who I...

    Poll: Is grinding with another person of the opposite sex considered cheating?

    Well most everyone seems to agree it's sexual looking at the poll. Quick question: what other acts are sexual, but not cheating? Because I can't think of any. I'm seeing a lot of people say "not sex, so not cheating, but it's disrespectful/bad for the relationship/whatever" but I don't know...

    League of Legends Player Faces Eight Years For "Terroristic Threats"

    League of Legends has almost nothing to do with this story. It's the first thing mentioned in the title and it's the pictured, yet the whole story has almost nothing to do with it other than he plays the game. Eh, whatever. I don't know what I expect anymore.

    US History and actual History.

    As someone that's studied abroad (A semester in London, a year in Osaka), I've found that the differences in history classes vary mostly from teacher to teacher. US history can be spot on and great with a good teacher. When it's bad though, it seems to be more from bad teachers more than...

    Jimquisition: Bullshit in Sheep's Clothing

    One hundred episodes in and it's finally looking like a proper show! I was on of those people that criticized the first couple episodes, came back around 5 or 10 episodes in once you started improving and stayed watching ever since. You're one of the few people that actually reads the criticisms...

    Poll: Do you drink alcohol?

    I drank briefly for a year or so during the start in college, but now I so rarely do that it basically counts as not drinking. Perhaps a glass of wine or a shot of something once every 6 to 12 months. The biggest reason would be that it doesn't feel good. Even the smoothest drinks burn a bit to...

    Video games can't do horror.

    What about multiple endings? Sure, if you die, you can restart at the last checkpoint, but that doesn't mean it's all without consequences. Certain actions in the game may very well have lasting effects for later in the game, and may turn out horrifying if you've invested yourself with the...
