    The Big Picture: Gender Games

    I liked this episode a lot. I always love seeing the smaller nuances of issues like Gender Games and how they fit into, well... The Big Picture. Poses are a wonderful point, and I think that thinking about poses really can provide the missing information between these two groups. I adore...

    Bad games that got GOOD reviews

    I think one of my favorite threads I've seen on here was a thread that encouraged you to talk about your favorite games critically and pick out things that weren't good or didn't appeal to everyone. It came with an arbitrary score system that rated you from fair critic to fanboy, but I liked the...

    Bad games that got GOOD reviews

    Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean may be an awfully written piece of tripe with two unlikable clods in the lead roles that make me seek out better leads in 13-year-old fanfiction that despite it's rather pretty graphics is also cursed with a slow unwieldy battle system and voice...

    Favourite Gamecube Game?

    Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has superb writing and characters, and while it isn't the hardest in the series, it is in my opinion the best, and has more than enough replay value for multiple playthroughs. I discover something new every time I play it. Baten Kaitos Origins is just amazing...

    Why are you a nerd?

    It just so happens that a lot of the things that I like fall under the "nerd" category. I like plenty of non-nerdy things too, but it seems that they are usually overpowered.

    Say something positive about a game you dislike.

    Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean may have been a slow, awfully written moronfest, but it sold well enough to warrant a Prequel to be made that was amazing and did everything ten times better than it's predecessor. Final Fantasy X has an awesome world and a very fun battle...

    MMORPG's aimed at children more fun than the mainstream?

    Here's the thing. A lot of older gamers tend to think that they need to play more mature games. However, the word "mature" is often translated as "gritty and overly-serious." And if a game (or anything for that matter) is serious every single moment, it usually loses my interest or becomes...

    Your Favorite Game Franchise That Is Not Considered Very Popular

    Agreed. I love Dragon Quest, but its low popularity in the states always saddens me. Though most of the people I show it to end up loving it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes and remembers the Wario Land games. I can safely say that Wario Land 2 is one of my favorite platform games...

    Poll: Who Do You Think is Best RPGs Between Bioware, Square Enix, and Bethesda?

    I love Enix because I love Dragon Quest. I love Dragon Quest to death. But I haven't liked Square's titles for a long time. To me, Square and Enix are joined in name only, and I make the distinction clear whenever I praise Enix, especially since Final Fantasy is much more popular than Dragon...

    Poll: My Little Ponies: Before Friendship Was Considered Magic

    Pandering cash-grabbing girly fluff with nothing to offer in return. One of the reasons why I think Friendship is Magic is so amazing is because it took what was once this messy abhorrent thing and turned it into something amusing and fun for boys and girls of all ages with good animation and...

    What game announcement would make you crap your pants?

    Agreed. I would soil my legwear even if Mother 3 got a stateside release.

    The Pun War!

    Nope. Everyone who posts in here is marked by impunity and therefore immune to punishment.

    An Alien race comes to Earth and wants to access Humanity

    I would open with a question regarding how everybody thinks that the loudest people are the most common because the loudest people are the loudest. Then we'd have a tea party and talk about stuff I do, like the nuances of babysitting and visual art critique. If they had a good time I would say...

    The Pun War!

    Let's see if I can make one up... A thief once hid his stolen money in a pastry shop while being pursued by the police. He the stolen money in a lump of pastry dough that he would return for when the police were off his trail, since he worked at the pastry shop during the day. He molded the...
