    Dragon Age Writer Calls BioWare Forums "Toxic"

    No. Your defense that you used the term "borderline racist" instead of "racist" doesn't wash. You know exactly the impact and meaning for most people that the use of the word racist has whether it has an descriptive element or not. Your are implying that a white guy that prefers a white girl is...

    Dragon Age Writer Calls BioWare Forums "Toxic"

    I don't see where I have been unthinkingly aggressive. My stance is everyone is allowed to want themselves, their identity, represented in the game. Knight Templar's assertion that if a white person prefers a white romance option that they are racist qualifies quite clearly as "unthinking...

They do not deserve to be dismissed as bigots. The...

    Dragon Age Writer Calls BioWare Forums "Toxic"

    Maybe it has something to do with how BioWare has set itself up as preaching liberals wanting to enforce their world views on everyone else. Just take the whole debacle around Dragon Age 2 and the bi-sexuality of characters. They deliberately under served their biggest demographic. When people...

    The Theme Park MMO Is Dead, Enter the Sandbox

    I find it amazing that people have been so indoctrinated by WoW and other theme parks that they seem to be stumped by the simplest issues. Dungeons and spawns empty forever indeed. The usual way a sandbox wants to handle a dynamic spawn is that if you kill all the buffalo in one area (or most...
