    Thor Is Getting Gender-Flipped. Officially.

    Look, I'll agree with you on a lot of your points. But Fem-Shep is some alternate gender-swap version of an existing character. Both Male Shep and Fem-Shep were created at the same time, and Fem-Shep definitely had a distinctive voice and character separate from Male Shep. For me, Fem-Shep...

    Worse insult you have received from a family member (Light hearted or serious, its up to you)

    "Pretty smart...for a Slav." My Great Grandfather visited from England when I was little, and Grandpa introduced his estranged father at the Family Reunion. To my face and in front of my parents, he praised me as bright and a lovely little lady. But after meeting and talking to my...

    Wearing Shoes Inside - The Fuck?

    I'm from Alaska, so maybe that's why I side with the canadians...but I cringe and have an inner dilemma whenever someone walks into my house without taking off their shoes or tells me I don't need to take mine off in their home. But I'm also from an Eastern European immigrant family as well, so...

    Poll: Doctor suspects I may have Aspergers Syndrome (Calling anyone who has Aspergers or knows about it)

    You are right about the OCD side of Aspergers, which many doctors don't take into account. It is far more than just social anxiety. I have aspergers and what is harder for me is constant sensory overload. I think you should definitely see the specialist, as a fair number of people are getting...

    Predictions For GW2's Future?

    I want more than anything for the Elonian Centaurs to become a playable race...I still feel bad about leaving them to their horrible fate in Nightfall.

    Calling all Autistics of the Escapist

    Aspergers here, it was hard being the only girl in my state with Aspergers, but it was hard being a verbally-excelled aspie when we're supposed to be good at math. I have to go to class, so I'll post more later.

    The small things in life

    Fuzzy slippers, preferably with animal heads. Bonus points if shuffling about it said slippers results in temporary development of electric zapping powers. Then add blanket cape for dramatic effect.

    Poll: Do you know/are you learning a second language?

    I know Latin and classical Greek well enough to read original texts and get the information, if not the subtleties without needing my reference books right at hand anymore. But those are really academic languages. For a personal, real-life applicable second language, I am in the grueling...

    Poll: Do you buy pre-owned games?

    Only through Ebay from another gamer if I can't find a new one, but usually I'm pretty good about staggering my 'games-to-play' list a few months behind new releases, since studies and work still keep me busy enough for game time to be more of a day-off or study break luxury than a 'whee look...

    Heavy Rain Dev Says Pre-Owned Sales Cost it Millions

    While I think used games on the consumer side are not something that should be done away with, I do think stores that profit off of essentially recycled inventory (cutting their own overhead and increasing their products) should have to either pay some sort of royalty or fee to the developer of...
