Throwing everything against the wall is typically how law suits like this work.

ikr, imagine referring to Incubus and Breaking Benjamin as “butt rock”.

The worst thing about Halo 3? How about the godawful checkpoint system? I’ve literally had to restart entire chapters because the game checkpointed me a split second before getting shelled by a Wraith tank.

The whole tone of this article would probably land better if it weren’t written by, you know, a WHITE MAN.  I once again implore my fellow white folks to stop trying to speak for non-white people  They are more than capable of doing so themselves, they don’t need you to do it for them, and there are plenty of…

Nah, Gamers™ are 100% predictable.

To answer your question, yes. Many many people feel when you sit down to write a story you make all the characters straight, white, and male, then go back and change the characters based on need. I’ve studied storywriting for 20+ years and I cannot tell you how many arguments I’ve gotten into with people when I try to…

I was looking at the footage of this game and couldn’t help but notice how remarkably similar the gameplay looks to official Koei games. So, I really don’t understand the criticism either.

Or stop using rape as a plot device.

That’s the thing though. It was A man.  Not men, just 1 man.  Compare that to the several depictions of women being raped, attempted to be raped, or hearing 3rd hand how a specific character was raped.  THAT’S why noone is talking about Theon and why the topic continues to be about women in general.  In a co-gender…

If you were a lawyer would YOU risk disbarment for this guy?

If anyone here likes this type of podcast, Michael Rossenbaum and Tom Welling recently started their own podcast around Smallville.  They’re on episode 3 now and it’s been really interesting to listen to.  If you were a fan of this show, you should check out the podcast, it’s called Talkville.

Limited does not mean none.  We’re not talking about “playing it”, the challenge put forth here is “an entire generation that has never heard of Dungeons and Dragons”.  

Well you have to remember King co-wrote The Talisman and the tone of the book is decidedly UN-Kinglike.  The majority of the entire story is such a downer with no light at the end of the tunnel.  

Sure, millions of kids without the internet.  

The person didn’t say “never played” they said “never heard of”.

An entire generation who have never heard of Dungeons and Dragons? In 2022? No.  I would greet them with the same disbelief I give the 40 year old Youtube reactors who claim they’ve never listened to Michael Jackson before.  Between Lord of the Rings, A Game of Thrones, and Stranger Things, D&D has always been a part…

The things that make D&D “great” are unadaptable. Even video games have never managed to recreate that feeling. Most of what makes D&D great is the people you play with, everyone has their own ideas of how to handle a specific problem, and you’re trying to think outside the box, trying to out smart the DM, trying to…

I JUST got that webcam line.

If you’re worried about the “culturally more sensitive” then you’re not playing the games because they “punch up towards the government”.  Being culturally sensitive has nothing to do with making fun of the government.

There’s a big difference between “scripted” and “fake”.  Pro-wrestling is 100% scripted and only about 30% fake.  Thumb tacks, staples, barbed wire weapons?  All very real, and all very painful for those involved.
