    Attn: Denizens and Visitors of Seattle

    I will be leaving soon to visit Seattle and area for little over a week. I've never been to the west coast and so I ask you this: What would you recommend I check out while I am there? I've already slated trips to the Seattle Aquarium and museum of flight. I would particularly appreciate...

    Escapist News Wrap: Porn on Xbox Live and Murdering Kittens

    Escapist: Mocking the gaming industry's overly sexual depiction of women via stories marketed with overly sexual images of women. At least if you had mentioned DoA or Team Ninja, but nope. Just pixelated tits to make us click.

    Crowd Research

    "Live in the world as you believe it should be, so that it may see what it could be" I've had this phrase/quote stuck in my head for quite some time, but am unable to remember the who or where that I got it from. If you recognize it or know where/what it was derived from, please post here.

    Trailers: MechWarrior Online - Caustic Valley Trailer

    Agree'd. They also sounded suspiciously like an escapist voice person (Graham Stark?), plus about two bottles of valium.

    Violent Videogames Cause "Macbeth Effect"

    I smell all sorts of bullshit on this one. The alternating between the terms "videogames" and "media" outside of directly referencing the study was the largest red flag. The shallow diversity of the study strikes as odd in general. Just gamers, just playing games, without consideration of...

    Gay Oreo Inspires Internet Outrage

    Such people exist on the internets? Get the fuck out! And all this time I thought people were calling each other cigarettes!I'm also not sure if I should feel bad that I don't know who any of the people quoted are, aside from NPH of course. My lack of knowledge regarding those who dance in...

    Mass Effect 3: The Wall

    "She's pushing it... she's pushing it..." "... and she just pole vaulted over the edge." You picked your background, the previous 30-some-odd years of your life from a list of three possible options, the binary morality system (which I still say is borked at times, changing who someone is...

    Poll: Is your first Final Fantasy your favorite?

    First off: ALL HAIL GDW! Negative. I watched someone play Final Fantasy I and I poked the game a bit myself, however I didn't actually hop into the JRPG genre at all until Final Fantasy VII, which was good. It was later that I played Final Fantasy VI (FF3 US) and that is my favorite...

    303: How Games Get Zombies Wrong

    You are arguing that someone has done something wrong in fiction based on reasoning grounded in reality. Things just don't work that way. Suggesting or presenting ideas for future work and how you think they would appeal to an audience? Good.As a small aside, minus the gratuitous fan service...

    The glaringly stupid defense of the citadel (Mass Effect 1)

    You're over-thinking the entire situation. Take any sci-fi or fantasy scenario and try to apply real world logic to it and you will always end up with a headache. Watch: Zombies If zombies are mindless eating machines, why don't they attack each other? If their goal is to spread the...

    Woman burned alive for being a witch

    "...set on fire by family members and others after a shaman allegedly accused her of casting a spell to make one of her relatives sick..." Yeah, that caused me to stop short as well. You burned someone for being a witch... on the advise of another kind of witch? I can understand modern day...

    Games you consider overrated

    Minecraft. On the first page alone people mention Skyrim, Deus Ex HR and of course the obligatory mentions of anything Bioware related. But even with their flaws, to one extent or another all those games have a story, character development, secondary content and actual artwork. Minecraft, on...
