It also implies that games can't have a story good or interesting enough that someone might want to enjoy it on its own. Or that it's somehow wrong to want to experience the story of a game despite its bad gameplay. So they could go on Youtube, but Youtube might have removed the clips due to...

For the sake of clarity I need to state that I'm not saying that you're doing something wrong. It doesn't matter how much weight your actions carry, as a consumer you're supposed to avoid purchases that don't make you comfortable no matter the reason.

I thought it can only be a boycott only if you want the product, but refuse to buy it / take it because you don't want to support the company or the behaviour that is behind the product. For instance people boycotted Nestle's products not because they were bad, but because of their...

So it's okay to harass someone because they're bad at their job? I don't know Hepler or any individuals in Bioware, but I've yet to hear any of them doing something that justifies actual harassment. Here's a trick to using sarcasm: Just because you're not making any sense doesn't mean you're...

Misogynists might all be horrible people, but not all horrible people are misogynists. If you take that into consideration you might realise what he is actually saying.

She spoke about skipping gameplay, combat to be precise for the purposes of getting access to other gameplay. You talked about skipping challenge. It doesn't make sense without equating challenge with combat. Hence the latter part. What she meant is irrelevant. She can mean in her head...

Because one is suffering from a well known mental illness that can be medicated with prescription drugs and psychiatric treatment and can be seriously harmful to the person themselves and others by itself, while the other is a common deviation from the default in which gender is more attractive...

You're not a purist. Conversations in Bioware games aren't in-game movies, they're interactive. Therefore they can be considered to be a type of gameplay. Also the part you're quoting explicitly mentions that what is being questioned is two types of GAMEPLAY existing and only one of them...

What kind of drugs are you on? Or rather what drugs are you not taking that your psychiatrist told you to take? Assuming the data is correct, there's the "small" problem that being statistically more likely to suffer from some kind of disease doesn't mean that the person is actually suffering...

I'd imagine that using brass knuckles against someone physically more powerful than you would be more difficult than shooting them. There might be some sort of mental overlap with firearms used for self-defence against other people and firearms used as self-defence against wildlife, so the...

That might have something to do with things like brass knuckles being used in a lot of places for crime in the past and that you can only really use them for four things: Beating someone up horribly. Ruining a punching bag. Paperweight. And naturally some places sell brass knuckles as...

I've formed a rule: The more positive sounding name an organisation etc. has, the more likely they're complete knobgoblins. "Family" is one of the words in a title that gets me really critical. @RaikuFA - Wasn't Flea transgender or transsexual (I don't know the terminology)? Not that it...

Yes. Because AIDS is too slow acting, they are likely to breed.

Ah. Deliciously insane. @Hungry Donner - Bah. Paul isn't scruffy. @Zachary Amaranth - Yes.

I don't see how a game focusing on spell casting couldn't work. It would have to focus on cerebral challenge instead of reflex or speed though. And mistakes shouldn't put you back too much, if the Kinect really makes mistakes even when moving slowly. I've also heard "apropos of nothing" said...
