Absolutely... if it serves the narrative. Not every single story is required to have an "and then they all went home happy, the end" ending. There's something to be said for good triumphing over evil, but it's more realistic to recognize, even in fiction, that this isn't always the case because...

I'm seeing a lot of "well it's his computer so he's justified in saying what he did", which... is incorrect, honestly. Yes, if it's his computer then he can tell people what they can and cannot do. But considering the fact that you didn't have the webcam on and he got angry at you anyway, it's...

I'm terrified of being chased and hiding (couldn't even play tag or hide-and-seek as a small child), so I could never get past the very first "monster" section in Amnesia and I just gave up after that. I'll watch LPs, thank you. Oddly, though, I also hate spiders and insects, and those don't...

Yes, I was terrified. However, it really wasn't the atmosphere that terrified me. I hate being chased in video games, period. Hell, Ao Oni made me scream out loud a few times, I'm man enough to admit that. But different things scare different people, and just like you can never please all of the...

Cult classics, generally, are out of the mainstream eye (unless forced there, I'm looking at you, Rocky Horror Picture Show). Minecraft is so huge that even non-gamers have at least heard of it. On the flipside, I wouldn't even know what Deadly Premonition is if I hadn't had it thrust into my...

Spiders. Not in the "tee hee spiders are gross" sort of way, in the "clinically arachnophobic" sort of way. Honestly, most insects fall into this category. I'm even afraid of the traditional "pretty" bugs, like butterflies, ladybugs, fireflies, etc. I'm also irrationally terrified of tongue...

P4 came out on the PS2 so I don't think it really counts. OT: Maybe Monster Hunter, from Tri onwards? Ao Oni, Ib, Witch's House, Corpse Party (Book of Shadows), that lot, perhaps.

1. Texas, United States. And where I went to school, you could get zeroes. You were allowed to make up assignments when you actually missed class (for a valid reason) or had something come up preventing you from completing a homework assignment, but if you simply didn't do the work, you failed...

Agreed. I have nothing against multiplayer as an option (where it makes sense), but in the past years it's gone from "multiplayer is an option" to "multiplayer is all people want and I guess we'll bang out a single player campaign for the twelve people in existence that don't like multiplayer"...

Yeah. I generally use NaNoWriMo to get all of the terribad ideas out of my head to make room for the actual good ideas. I always get horrible ideas jumping up and down distracting me until I write them out. Then again, I might hit on something this year. Who knows. I usually just start...

Agreed. The Three Stooges were a rip-off of the Marx Brothers and I still maintain that the vaudevillian~30's-era comedy is funnier today than anything the Stooges did. OT: Of current generation movies, Napoleon Dynamite. I mean, seriously, there is nothing funny about that movie. However, of...

I think a lot of it, too, has to do with media portrayal (like how Spider-Man does get a lot of in-universe hate simply because of the way the newspaper shows him), which is easy enough to prove true by looking at the real world even today. Though I think one of the primary differences lays...

Charmander all the way. No question. Why? Because ultimately dragon, end of discussion. Of course, I got to the point where all I needed was my overleveled Persian to take out my friends' legendaries at the school lunch table, but he and my Charizard were a tagteam to be feared.

This reminds me of the trend in schools to remove the word "fail" from the educational lexicon. I'm not even kidding. In some schools, you don't "fail" - you achieve "deferred success". Apparently, it's too hurtful to tell a kid that he didn't achieve enough right answers to get a passing score...

I'll second this one. Especially since, when the villain(s) were revealed, they were already some of the most boring characters in the story. Also, Final Fantasy X if you can count everyone EXCEPT Tidus, because Seymour was an irritating little prick and Sin was a big scaly nonentity.
