I used to play Yukon Trail. That was cool because I lived 20 minutes out from Jack London Square Also, anybody play the Super Solvers/Super Seekers games from The Learning Company? That shit was my jam! I loved OutNumbered! and Treasure Mountain! But Gizmos & Gadgets! was the coolest by far.

I LOVE Ninja Sex Party. I went on a kick and relistened to their entire discography last night. Dragon Slayer really does it for me. I think it's the harmonizing that's way more prevalent than in some of their earlier stuff. Danny still has yet to learn how to end a song, though.

TDM's probably one of my favorite modes. Simple killing with teammates. What's not to like? As long as games keep throwing in cool modes like Juggernaut or Soul King alongside good ol' DM and TDM, I'm happy.

"Laugh at everything. When you find something you can't laugh at, you've been defeated." Having a sense of humor and proportion is really important.

I've got a rule. Lay off. Let people write what they want to write. Don't bog people down with unnecessary rules and regulations just because you don't like something. Plenty of great authors defied conventions like the one's you're laying down and their stuff turned out great because of it. Get...

I guess I'll just reply with the only supervillain I ever created, which was Bolshevik from DC Universe online. Can fly, has a high resistance to damage and a mutant healing factor. Soars around in a snazzy suit and hat with a cape and an AK, robbing banks and painting things red. The flying...

Aren't the characters in Prince of Persia (even though it's fairly fantastical) supposed to be Muslims? I feel like a good portrayal of Islam in games could come in one of two ways. 1) Just sort of do a, "He's Muslim, deal with it yo" sort of thing. Make it a part of his/her character without...

So that's Swat 4? "Yo, we ain't coming out 'til you pass us the cash and the vests!" "Multiple tangoes spotted. How do we proceed, sir?" *Charges in, massacring civilians and terrified teenage gangbangers* "WRAAAAGGGHHH! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! ALL HAIL KHORNE!"

Fallout 3. Ho damn... For some reason, I felt much more connected to the Lone Wanderer than I did to the Courier, and the last little twitch as you slump to the floor of the reactor--as you see the statue of Jefferson through the irradiated waters--is absolutely heartbreaking. Bioshock...

The only movie that really makes me tear up a little (and tear up, not cry), is Les Mis. It's usually at different part each time, but the ones that always will are "I Dreamed a Dream", "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables", ValJean's death, and the final scene.

A summer ago I was vacationing, and after a shower, I found what was seemingly a pimple on my lower back, except it was dark grey and when I pinched it I felt something hard under the skin. After a couple days of squeezing at it, it popped open and out shot a little black stone-thing about the...

Oh, one more as inspired by one above. Sellswords of Westeros. Combat roguelike with a Sleeping Dogs-but-with-weapons combat system, randomly generated sellswords, and a system where you could advance your solitary sellsword into the leader of a military company and eventually a lord if you do...

ASOIAF: Total War or Total War: Catan (heavier focus on economics and politics in the overworld map for Catan, but it could be cool). I Am Legend as a Minecraft/non-shitty Survival Instinct hybrid set in the '70s like it was goddamn supposed to. A new Dune real time tactics/turn based...

NHL 09. I love hockey major, but that game is thicker than a god damn brick. The controller support is fucking daffy and it's so unfriendly to keyboard players. It pisses me right off. Plus there's not tutorial or even manual so thanks EA.

No, you're not a bad person, because that's subjective. Are you, however, infringing copyright and technically stealing IP? Yes. You are.
