Only to MMOs. I feel like the genre demands variety in character creation.

If you still can't create a female player character, I'm still not interested.

That one was an older interview. I don't think it still currently applies.

As of Street Fighter X Tekken, Poison's original sex was supposed to be ambiguous—she has fans who think she's trans and fans who think she isn't, and Capcom said they weren't gonna deny either group their image of her. (This was a turnaround from earlier positions, though, so it might have changed back since.)

After every war
someone has to clean up.
Things won't
straighten themselves up, after all.

I looked it up, and at least one reviewer really liked it.

When I heard George R.R. Martin and sci-fi, I was expecting a Sandkings oneshot. I have a feeling that would scare the pants off everyone involved, including the artist who drew it.

Does Cross Channel count as a prior example?

Does anyone else think "Fear & Respect" sounds like it might have been kind of cool? The description makes it sound like it didn't get overly ambitious or try too many things at once, while still contributing something that at the time was relatively fresh. It just got killed by an accident of timing.

There's a pretty good review of it on thatguywiththeglasses.com, if you want to find out more about it. (It spoils the plot, but it sounds like you've already read the book.)

Are you familiar with the term "value of a statistical life"? In pollution prevention, transportation safety, and many other fields, there is a point beyond which governments invest further resources into saving lives. I propose that the same goes for freedoms—a society with no freedoms would have very high efficiency…

Barring the total abolition of the Second Amendment, I don't believe that there exists a possible outcome in which school shootings could be completely prevented (and even that wouldn't prevent robberies with illegally smuggled firearms.) Given that premise, the question becomes at what point the potential for saving…

It's hardly fair to compare visual novels to fancy 3D video games from major publishers. Visual novels are both relatively niche and relatively cheap, so they can create plots that some people may really dislike, knowing they'll get enough people who really like those plots to turn a profit. Games with larger budgets…

Well, your goal is theoretically to keep her alive. Theoretically . . .

I tend to play the games that older men insist are well-written, and to my surprise, they usually are. Presumably, when they're poorly written everyone's too embarrassed to mention them.

At this point, I don't even bother reading anything on that site that's marked as being by Winston Rowntree. He has an amazing ability to talk and talk and talk and wind up only saying the bare bones of an argument, without providing any support for what he apparently considers obvious statements.

Watching the presentation . . . This guy was the perpetrator of the female romance in Neverwinter Nights? All of my hate!

I remember trying to read the manga. I could tell the author was referencing some kind of complex philosophical system, but I never figured out what that philosophical system was, so I didn't understand a word of it. (All I got was that there is no being that is God, but there is a role that is God that beings…

Could someone please explain to me why this girl is beating up a "Whore"?

I just hope it does better at "fixing the adventure game" than The Cave did.
