Do we really need to be pushing the fact that a character is gay nowadays? I mean, why not just have an interesting lead character that everybody loves, and have his or her homosexuality as an afterthought?

Definitely the contribution that makes the most sense.

I always hate it when people have to point it out or hint at it.

You know what I think would be a great success for a great LGBT character? If absolutely no one had any idea until someone asked the creator way after the game's release and he passively mentions, "oh, yeah, [character name] is [sexual orientation]." And…

The best way to introduce a gay main character is to avoid all stereotypes. I'm gay and everytime i see a gay character in a game i kringe my teeth of how wrong it is. I just don't understand how they make these kind of characters when there are alot of gay people in game studios.

Having a gay playable protagonist means absolutely nothing if the context of the game doesn't suit the character. For the average person picking up the new Halo, it wouldn't have mattered whatsoever if Master Chief turned out to be a homosexual; Delsin Rowe could very well end up being gay when we get our hands on Infa…

Because if that were the case, blog writers wouldn't catch it and keep on complaining. The problem with subtlety is that it doesn't satisfy people who yearn to see sexuality and alternative sexuality being an omnipresent factor in their lives.

That's called "being gay", actually. Just because I like people doesn't mean I'm flaunting it everywhere I go. Flaunting your sexuality is called being a stereotype.

Why not make a gay protagonist but not make it glaringly obvious that he is? Be subtle about it in the game and let the player figure it out.

They would have roped me in for that Titan Fall bundle if that game included was a physical copy and not a voucher code :|

If a significant number of people think it makes a difference, it's worth discussion and coverage, don't you think? That's my point. I'm not trying to convince anyone that they should care about resolution—I'm arguing that resolution is worth talking about.

While the points that you make are all reasonable, I don't think that you've made the case that these details are as important as all that. Should these tech details be discussed on the periphery of video game discussion? Yes. Certainly. But the emphasis is totally backwards right now. Gameplay and theory should…

Yeah, man. Dinosaurs are like 10 trillion years old. You gotta appreciate the classics.

If it was a crime, it would have been solved long ago!

I would think that would be a relatively easy task, seeing as how you're a detective and all.

Aren't these just the micro machine toys on their stands? They sure look like them.

IT'S A TRAP!

The Coup looks like a lot of fun, and I really enjoy The Resistance by the same people. Might have to see if it's available when I go to the game shop today.

Dinosaurs never had feathers, and anyone who says so can go fuck off somewhere!!!
