Yeah, I'm with the others who are a bit off-put by the stressing of these being "real" indie games. Pretty sure the more important things about the Humble Bundle are: a) you pay what you want for something that would have a price tag on it, and b) money goes to charity. Still, it's cool that...

This really deserves note. Sex isn't sexist. Sexy isn't sexist. There may be fine lines that are tread when you have nudity or attractive characters or things like that, but these things are not equivalent with sexism. Personally, I actually went looking for a nudity mod once for the exact...

Journey is absolutely a worthy experience. If lacking a PS3, do what I did: buy it as a gift for a friend, then be the first to play it on their PS3. ... what? That's not terrible. That's not terrible at all. Stop judging me.

Valve. Absolutely. Between having brilliant games, enthusiastically supporting the modding community, and creating a system that has not just made it easier for me to play games but enabled me to do it at all (sales are great), how could I not?

Just to say, if both people involved use protection and use it properly, the chances of pregnancy should be statistically impossible. Birth control has something like a 97% success rate, I think, and condoms I've seen tend to be claimed around 70%, but that is mostly just reliant on whether they...

Generally speaking, no, virginity is not something particularly special, aside from a guarantee of an awkward experience. Nothing especially wrong with saving it for the person you decide to commit yourself to, except for that placing undo importance on both a civil joining of two people and the...

Escapists! I recently had a breakthrough, I think, in how I understand myself and my feelings. Normally this is something I would keep to myself, and maybe talk to just a few select friends about, but with some of those friends in danger of being mad to feel bad about it if I did share it, and...

There are tons of unattractive ladies in gaming. Like the ones with the giant wobbling balloons taped to their front. I suppose this suggestion could actually have an effect, but it seems like the wrong way to think about it to me. For many of us out there who have problems with the way these...

I'm in the camp of "if there are two consenting persons who understand the issues involved, then I have no say in what goes on between them." Additionally, I'll add that the issues of children from incestuous relationships are often overblown regarding single generations, and in a ways its still...

Well, part of the issue is that it goes both directions. Of course, it had to start somewhere, I'm sure, but I imagine that could have easily just been someone like me struggling with frustration that everyone else seems to be in the dark about how amazing some music is! At least back when I was...

Real time strategy games. I've just never been able to get good at them. When I put my mind to it, I can play a FPS with approximately professional levels of skill, but I can't even put my mind to RTS games. Ruse, World at War, Empire Earth II, all games I've tried only to be miserable at them...

Oh look, PETA going after a game for some publicity, how surprising. I'm pretty sure Pokemon doesn't promote animal abuse in any legitimate way. Moving along.

This sounds eerily familiar. It wasn't so long ago that the feeling was kind of the same, for us PC players. At least as I remember it. The consoles (as in the ones that actually completed with PCs at the time, the Xbox and PS1) came out and developers and people flocked to them, they took a...

This is such a tiny thing, with so much tension around it. It really is impressive. Perhaps pulling it was oversensitive, but it is understandable to be careful, because good or bad there is a reputation Islam and Muslims have. Perhaps being offended by someone else's ignorance is...

As just some statement from a designer, I totally get this, and its no big deal. Consider, after all, that this is one of the people putting a lot of effort into making a really good multiplayer system. He just wants more people to experience that. I do think, however, that there is more to...
