    what game got you into gaming

    Star Wars: Dark Forces. Countless hours of my childhood were sucked into that game.

    Silicon Sisters Say Game Industry Still Doesn't Understand Women

    As a woman, this is what I want in my game: the option to play a female version of the protagonist. That is all. And among the games I generally like (think Dragon Age, Fallout 3, etc.) this request is already being fulfilled, so I have nothing to complain about!

    Aaaaah! My friend Ashley did #5's makeup & prosthetic scars, it's so cool to see her work on this site! She's with outriderstudios.com if anyone wants to check out her other stuff...

    Jimquisition: Videogames Are Not Movies, Get Over It

    Interesting content, but the production value is severely lacking. I won't be tuning in again unless something can be done to stylize this in a way that doesn't scream "I did this in a janitor's closet!" This is definitely not up to the quality level that I'm used to seeing here.

    Poll: Men Vs. Women : Rationality

    To all those who voted "women": I know you all think you're incredibly clever for discussing things like these in a supposed "rational" manner, but you really are just coming off as childish, inexperienced, and ignorant. Come back when you're 30 and look at this and your ignorance (not to...

    Poll: The Anti-GameStope Revolution

    I would love to ask where I'm supposed to buy my games from, if I'm not supposed to be going to the one and only game retailer in my town. Wal-Mart? Because they are less evil and don't destroy local business? The truth is that, in small to midsized towns in Ontario, there are no...

    UPDATED!!!! Is she being selfish to want a baby??

    If she is basically tricking her boyfriend into knocking her up, then she is not mature enough to be a mother. She should break up with her boyfriend, concentrate on school and not even think about another relationship until she is old enough to make a mature decision about life-changing event...

    Poll: Favourite Escapists videos that isnt ZP

    That was a tough decision between Doraleous & Associates and Extra Credits. Extra Credits won by a hair because it makes me think, where D&A just makes me laugh.

    Calvin and Hobbes and their good future.

    A quote from Watterson in the Tenth Anniversary collection: "I sometimes imagine a strip from Susie's point of view would be interesting, and after so many strips about boys, I think a strip about a little girl, drawn by a woman, could be great." Because I've read that book a million times...

    I fail to see how this is funny.

    Rick Rolling. I just don't get it at all.

    Is this fair? Are they allowed?

    Are you over 18? I know that in Ontario people under 18 are not entitled to full minimum wage and are usually paid about a dollar/hour less than those over 18. It's totally unfair and stupid (and needs to be changed!), but I'd look into whether Nova Scotia has a similar policy or not.

    Are All Teens Drug/Sex Addicts? ...Really?

    "Lately"? This has been going on for a long, long time my friend. When I was a teenager, when my parents were teenagers, and hell, probably when my grandparents were teenagers, people were always up in arms about their kids drinking, having sex or doing illegal drugs. Parents worry, end of story.

    Do you support your troops?

    Despite the fact that my husband* is in the Canadian military, I generally do not support the mission in Afghanistan, nor the troops in general. I certainly do not want any more of them to die (their families should not have to suffer), but the more soldiers I meet and the more I come to...

    Poll: First Kisses

    Just go for it. It's going to be memorable (in a good way!) whether you wait for "the moment" or not. I remember all my first kisses with guys I've dated; few of them were romantic, but all of them were exciting.
