You know what “cartoon” messed me up bad when I was little? The Plague Dogs. Probably because that’s not SUPPOSED to be for kids, but I didn’t realise that when I was flipping through the channels. It STILL upsets me when I think about it.

You beat me to it!

The story from the Guardian is just horrible. That poor boy. That poor family. I do think there’s a big discrepancy between how we teach young women to be safe online, and how we teach boys the same. I can remember my mother being VERY adamant about my younger sister being safe, knowing who she was talking to, not…

My ringtone is already Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing On Rainbows. I might as well complete the image for the weird looks I get when it goes off in public. (Goddamnit, being a grown woman means I get to have the phones I want! You can’t make me adult!)

I think there’s a difference between a “bad, broken game”, and a game that is sold to a player in Early Access under the promise that it will be patched and expanded upon in a certain way. I’m not saying I necessarily agree with the OP as far as “enforceable penalties”... to be frank, I treat all Early Access games…

I have to admit, I was a little tipsy the night I decided to give this a try on Hulu. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I remember my husband just gaping at the screen and me going “OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. WHAT AM I WATCHING. OH MY GOD.” over and over again at scene where he fights Crabrante. I don’t really watch a…

I think it’s more like striking while the iron is hot. FNAF has never been my thing, but think how quickly excitement over something fades online. Cawthon made games for YEARS that went unnoticed and made no money. Now he’s got something that’s a massive hit and is generating a ton of cash for his family. When you…

I would probably agree with that assessment of Resident Evil 3. Being pursued by Nemesis was pretty thrilling... the first time I ducked away into an alley and thought I was safe only to hear a door smash open behind me a few seconds later and the music change, I nearly had a heart attack. Otherwise, I could not have…

I know, right? When I played, I was proud of myself if I managed not to flood my husband’s storage room while trying to make a waterfall. Then something like this comes along. It’s so cool!

The best casino experience I ever had (and they are few; we’ve been to Vegas, but we like to wander rather than gamble) was popping into a place on Freemont Street. They advertised everyone got a free drink, so we sat and I played ten bucks in this little rickety slot machine for fun. After a while, which basically…

My heart goes out to her friends and family.

I'm sure if you enjoy a friendly relationship with someone who is well off, you'll get taken cool places or given cool things. But at the end of the day, I'm preeeeetty sure being able to pay your bills, have access to health benefits, and not have to worry about the whims of someone else dictating how you manage…

Oh wow, I’m so happy to see Undertale on there! I backed it on Kickstarter ages ago, and it blew past every expectation I had. Always happy to see indies rolling with the big titles for popularity.

I miss Vice City. It was still set in the US, but setting it in Miami during the 80s gave it such a bright neon crazy vibrancy that was so fun to explore. I enjoyed recent GTA titles fine, but they’re so aggressively gritty and modern and dark that they all sort of blur together.

Depends on who they have on board to help develop the characters and content. There are movies, books, tons of media that parody other cultures without it turning into a racist attack. As for being unable to understand the culture, well, that kind of seems lazy. There are plenty of ways to immerse players in culture…

Absolutely, I was more just kind of frustrated that the main complaint thrown at it is that it’s a “soapbox”, as if it couldn’t possibly have anything other to offer than an agenda. :) A lot of the people who are against any sort of progressive content act like it’s impossible for a game to have something outside of…

I would really love to see GTA take place in any significantly different country from the US, really. They do such a great job of creating cities, and I’d love to see what they could do with Taiwan, Mumbai, etc... it’d be so amazing to explore those places with GTA’s over-the-top characters and gameplay.

A lot of the knee-jerk response to this game being “SJW” puzzles me because a lot of it seems to be based in the same sort of hyperbole-driven hysteria that surrounded the release of Mass Effect, when all the conservative news channels claimed it let you have HD, realistic sex with whoever, whenever, orgies, etc. If…

Doubt all you want. :) Cheers.

I’ve still only seen one, and that happened right before I was entering... uh... the area with the quest with you have to retrieve the sword? Big factory. Enemies were firing nukes, and that’s what I thought it was at first. I had no idea what they were, haha!
