I notice one thing hasn't changed. Dragon Age is still a bleak, miserable, cesspit of a world. There's no colour. Everything looks so bloody muted.

Homeworld is perhaps one of the greatest space combat games to ever hit the PC outside of an MMO. It was originally going to be a Battlestar Galactica RTS, but something went awry, and they did their own thing. And perhaps it was for the best, because the story, the art, the music, and the game play were all…

Nope. Not interested. Won't be until I can play single player or group play without having to log into BlizzardNet. Though hey, if people are enjoying themselves, more power to them. :) I won't yuck their yum.

I'm straight (leaning bi), and even I know that people care, and it is a big deal. Simply put, when marginalized people get the chance to be treated like "normal" (read, mainstream) people and are just a part of the community, that'll be the final victory. Until then, anything that pushes them to the edges of…

I am so glad we can ignore this in Guild Wars 2. Levelling isn't a grind there. Any time you enter a zone lower than you, you dip down to that level range to play. There's a few items which give you a level (and a rare item which gets you to level 20), but overall, the level thing isn't a chore - it's a side effect.

I'm really looking forward to this. I have one thing to say however - as did my wife - the portraits really need to allow for more PoC. There were a craptonne of white people there, and a small smattering of other flavours, but there really wasn't a fair spread of ethnicities to play. Sure, you could colour your…

I don't have an 'Murica card. I'm Canadian. ;) Safe!

The philosophy I go with is pretty simple. There's no point getting angry about what has happened in the past. Learn from it, but don't waste emotional energy on it. There's no point getting angry in the present, unless somehow that emotion is going to help change what's happening. So, there's no point getting…

I don't think a Pokemon MMO would be anything like that. Basically, I'd propose something closer to Guild Wars 2.

"Scrub friendly"? I've often wondered why VF's not been in Evo, since it is a damn good fighting game. I'm also surprised not seeing Soul Caliber here, since two years ago (was it that long ago), it was rocking Evo.

I really wish I'd gone into the business, because if any employee came forward to me with stories of harassment, there would be heads rolling. Hearing stories like this makes me so angry - that they'd have to put up with this kind of crap constantly.

Of course. :) I wouldn't say you're doing it wrong though - if it worked for you, then kudos. But if someone's having trouble, giving a bit of a guide doesn't hurt.

A number of my guild members are people I ran into accidentally from running around. You see someone who isn't in a guild, you hang out and help them for a bit, they join your guild, and get to know you better.

Got a few friends in GW2, so that isn't a problem. It's designed for social play.

What grinding? For ascension trinkets, we just do our dailies, which is about 20 minutes of play, and get a laurel. Enough laurels, you get an ascended item. Or, alternatively, crafting for ascended weapons and armour. I wouldn't call any of that grinding, really - most of the materials you can get from the Black…

Ask, and ye shall receive!

Okay, that's just awesome. I remember one group doing the sailor senchi, but this is inspired!

As a diabetic, I approve of this. Xylia would be better though, I think. Still, it's a drastic improvement. Unfortunately, I still can't drink it because it has caffeine, and I have to avoid caffeine (or I get vicious kidney stones).

Quick! Get the Jaegers!

Personally, I'm for this: If they're in the same weight category, and they're both willing, let them. Even if you're looking at people of the same sex in the same weight category, there can be a lot of differences - reach, height, build. Then there's the difference between weigh-in weight and fight weight, which…
