This is what people really want in VR.

I'm still against capital punishment, even with these A-holes. BUT I'm also a believer of creating a modern day equivalent of a prison colony. Place them all inside, let them set up their own society. But they are most likely never going to get out of that box. They'd get food drops, water, and some supplies to help…

Fuck. All. Those. People.

5 bucks says Capcom was going to try to sell the local co-op as DLC.

It's possible I'm in the minority, but it seems to me the root cause of toxicity is people taking games so goddamned seriously. I am not a MOBA player... I do play plenty of FPS games, which can have similarly toxic communities, but I also just do not care. I play for fun, I certainly want to do well, but I'm not…

"Deboot"? I like it! Next we should do a Wellingtonboot where we make a more rubbery version of the original for the underwater box office of the future.

Who is the girl in the picture above helping put the black rangers helmet on? That girl is gorgeous.

I still don't understand the fascination of a spare battery. My two (modern) smartphones have been an HTC Thunderbolt (removable battery) and a Nexus 4 (non-removable battery).

Some of them apparently could not be conquered by Russia.

Well, okay, one cursed ring doesn't mean everything is haunted. Who of us hasn't been possessed by a cursed ring we bought second hand?

My attitude toward the military has nothing to do with my theological outlook—or lack thereof. That I responded to Ramenlover as I did was an indication of my answer to the individual question asked by the youth pastor—not a blanket statement about all military service everywhere.

And if you're seriously about to play…

Well sure, it definitely isnt ok. But its also unsurprising. Assholes are in every sport but of course in the safety of anonymity, theyre much less afraid to show it.

Ditto. I certainly don't mind people being of a different religious faith, or no religious faith at all. I have plenty of friends on both 'sides'. But don't you (general you) dare mock or belittle me for what I believe in, when it has zero bearing on yourself. Doing so puts you on equal footing with the religious folk…

Thank you for a very well thought out and presented post about your relationship with religion and video games, Nathan. It's refreshing to read a piece like this that doesn't come off as an anti-religious screed. It's also nice to read about people who have interacted with religion in ways that are similar to my own…

I grew up Christian as well. My parents weren't really what could be called fervent—we went to church on some Sundays, and not on others, depending upon what the family was doing at that time; part of that intermittent attendance also came from the fact that—for the first fourteen years of my life—the family was…

It's perfectly natural for people to question their faith as they get older, especially when confronted with a group of people not acting like proper Christians when you were younger, coupled with aggressively anti-Christian messaging in videogames and movies.

Sorry to hear that (don't mean to sound condescending, though I'm sure that's what this'll sound like, sorry :P). I grew up not as religious as you, but it was still a decent part of my life. However, while I did lose my "religion," I didn't lose my faith. That is, I'm still Christian and have firm belief in God, but…

ok, "common courtesy" > games

I have zero interest in gauging my own progress in a vacuum. It means nothing to me. If there's no story to progress, no chapters to move through, no ending to see, then it's all just wasted time.

I didn't get to this in my rant, but often stories that celebrate rule-breakers do so by making up incredibly stupid rules for them to break.

"Golly, should we rebel against a system that kills children as entertainment? I wonder."
