    Dungeons & Dragons Next Will Emphasize Fast, Easy Character Creation

    I worry about "streamlining" the process to making characters in an RPG like D&D. It seems to only benefit people who don't care about the roll-playing aspect at all. I feel like making the character in the long form is an important step in being able to get yourself in their shoes. There was...

    Poll: All else being equal, what do you play as?

    I just popped open guild wars to check how my characters spread out and I would say that I go equal across sex, but tend to play the same race as myself. I'm actually perfectly 50/50 on my characters in Guild Wars at least, and I've been playing female characters more often, but I actually find...

    Zero Punctuation: Dark Souls

    I understand why you don't like Dark Souls, but this actually comes up fairly often. For instance I've never really liked it when you can go into the menu and use buffs, potions, food, or whatnot and have no time pass in the game. In my mind that really does break my immersion with the...

    The Hobbit Cast Swaps Genders in All-Female Photoshoot

    Terrible, everyone knows dwarf women still have beards! Seriously though this is really well done, the props were fantastic I wonder if they used any from the original set. Also I laughed really hard when I first mistook the Bilbo for Benedict Cumberbatch in drag, imo that would have been...

    No Right Answer: Living with Depression

    I'm currently dealing with depression myself, and this video made my day a little brighter. It's always good to know that there are other people out there, especially ones who you can look up to, who are dealing with similar issues and fighting the good fight.

    Jimquisition: Why So Serious?

    Another awesome video, but I noticed you always seem to use Zhang He clips in your Dynasty Warriors highlights. Is he your favorite character?

    Working in an office environment is not cool because......

    Working in an office isn't cool, because as a developer I often see a google groups page that seems to have discussion relevant to a problem I'm having, then I click and the draconian proxy treats me to the "This category is blocked: Social Networking". All the rage!!!!

    The Hobbit Cast Performs Leonard Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins

    Mostly good, but the one guy, I think it was Thorin really sounded like he was phoning it in, which was disappointing.

    Bosses and Boss fights that make you go "F*** this, F*** that, I am not fighting him/her! I AM OUT!"

    I only beat one of the dragon priests in Skyrim who would one shot me with some of his spells by running out the door to heal. This only worked because I had put a mana draining bow on my companion and by the time I had healed and everything he couldn't cast back at me.

    Dark Souls 2 Wishlist

    From what I've heard it looks like the sun worship and all that has died out and now you have just remnants of the warriors of sunlight. Somebody mentioned Heirs to the Sun as a possible covenant.

    Dark Souls 2 Wishlist

    From hearing that apparently the Warriors of Sunlight are (sorta) gone, I must beg to still have lightning spear. By far my favorite spell in the game purely from an ascetics standpoint. Also while I appreciate the whole no map and no giant pointing arrows, maybe if they made some important...

    Who is the best swordsman in fiction?

    I second Rand in the Rand vs Lan fight, while Lan is more deadly early in the series Rand soon eclipses his capabilities even just with the sword. Also it's worth mentioning that Rand can combine swordplay with martial arts since he has shown that he can kill with his fists almost as quickly...

    Started playing Dark Souls, any advice?

    Since everyone has already mentioned some good advice, I'd just say read all the orange signs you can, and if you ever see one that says "Beware of chest" or similar attack every chest you see before you loot it. It will save you a lot of frustration if someone was trying to warn you about a mimic.

    Skyrim vs Darksouls

    So I was on TV Tropes earlier today and Skyrim vs Darksouls was listed as an example of a flame war, however, since I didn't really get into Darksouls until well after it was out I never really tried comparing the two. Now that I am aware that this is such a contentious contest I want to make a...
