Ya see, I think they should turn "Assassin's creed" more into a brand/series (à la "Far cry", etc.) where it isnt the "trappings" (IE, "assassin v. templar" that are important, but rather the far more historically relevant struggle between order & chaos. There is such rich fertile ground there...

I am the only one who thinks the whole future framing device is largely unnecessary? I'd be happy with most any game that let you run around old architecture stabbing things. Heck, I wish they went further into the past, like Babylon, acient India & China, Rome, etc. A lot more creative liberty...

I'd be good. While there are still a few franchises i'd be dissapointed where gone, overall the potential for new stuff would be more tantalizing.

As an avid Pathfinder player (a game that does allow any race to be any class, save a few race-specific prestige classes & class archetypes that use specific race power (like the halfling opportunist using halfling luck racial power, or the drow cavern sniper who uses drow-specific magical...

So, after a long (and depressingly lonely) summer, I have spent WAY too much time on the internet and it?s many discussion boards/forums/comments sections, which I had otherwise avoided like the plague until recently. But now, I must escape the chaos, and as such, am trying to assemble a set of...

Ah man, you have come out at a wonderful time for vitriol. I myself, as you, have read up on some MRA litterature, as well as some feminist litterature, as well as WAY too many forum threads on both. Unfortunately, the MRA groups have a LOT of very fearful, angry and bitter men, which makes it...

I'm in the "Everything is random" mindset, so I dont believe in it. Some folks might, and that might motivate them to do great things, but that's merely delusion from my perspective.

I would say most voice acting (dubbed) for japanese products (Anime, Videogames, etc.) is just unbearable to me. The voices are always too high pitched and I find it very distracting. The only anime where the (translated) version was bearable was "space dandy", and it's one of those few that are...

Ok, here's one i came up with myself recently: I'm an optical engineer. We may not be the brightest, but we sure know how to reflect!

+1 to this as well. The internet often brings out the worst in us. Combine that with the sheer difficulty of clear communication through text (IE, without tone, context & body language) it becomes a nasty place. Makes me think... what effect would losing the internet have on us now? How would...

The analogy used by the OP seems apt in many situations, where the person's feminism doesnt really have much relevance to the issue (as in the case of Zoegate). Since in a lot of the school shootings the shooters just happened to be gamers, it wasnt really relevant. (Though, as others have...

Not a bad article. Some good points about how it limits genuine "3d"-ness and stuff I will admit I prefer isometric. I've spent so much of my time in 3d games dealing with crappy cameras that I prefer a fixed perspective, since the designer can adapt for it, making sure that you can see all...

I can understand that. I game cyclically. Generally, spend a while gaming, do to much, get un-jazzed cause there isnt anything fun, then stop. I've just ended a recent pause. Got back in thanks to "divinity: original sin". In the end, I dont think there is any simple way to end a rut, just...

Cant really answer the poll. While the "smoking affect" as shown in movies is rather cool, actually being around smokers makes me nauseous (when they smoke a lot). They arent bad people (in fact, most of them are quite aware of their habit and have warned me when they where having a high-smoking...

Then of course we have a whole subreddit for people like this: http://www.reddit.com/r/TumblrInAction/ But of course there is too many to make a thread on. This is how serial killers and mass shooters are born. Tumblr is a strange and scary place. WHY UTRAWINKLE WHY! And I thought...
