    Poll: Am I the only Morally motivated gamer out there?

    I nuked an entire city and sold small, cute children into slavery in Fallout 3. I sacrificed hundreds of thousands of common soldiers and exterminated entire provinces just for the sake of conquest and personal glory. I mowed down more conscripted suckers than I can imagine in FPS games. I...

    Poll: Werewolf or Vampire?

    I've always based my conception of vampires on Interview with the Vampire. The vampires in this series are so well-rounded. They're not simply mindless, immoral killing machines, but human beings 'blessed' with a terrible curse. Some lose their minds over time and become completely immoral...
