I would, however be interested in a game based on Fred Saberhagen's _Lost Swords_ books.

I'm not sure there are any large corporations these days that are stable, though.

Ditto. First time hearing about these people. But I'm not much for anime (being a geek of Japanese descent who learned about most anime from white otaku friends, this is clearly ironic). I am fascinated by weird internet phenomena such as this, though.

I think, just like Respawn's Titanfall, this game of all games could have used a single-player campaign that really got people into the universe and backstory. I can understand subsequent sequels not necessarily needing one (although at this point, much like their old Halo franchise, people were eagerly awaiting the…

I tried to purchase via Chrome before but it didn't work, but I'll try again. Thanks. :)

*Rant begins*

I think something got broken or was compromised when Origin was hacked during Xmas, because so many accounts that existed before that hack can no longer properly process PayPal, CC transactions, even if the credentials were there before (and won't let you add them or authorize them after). Maybe it was…

I would, but I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything from any Amazon store until they start paying their warehouse workers proper wages and allow them to unionize and receive the same kind of job security as anyone else:

I wouldn't know: I've been trying to purchase it on Origin since this past Xmas when it was on sale, and EA still won't take my money.

#OriginIsTerrible #YUNoTakeMyMoneyEA?

Yeah, I hope they incorporate it into multiplayer RPGs. :)

Wouldn't it be just as dangerous if he actually believed Wu contacted him, even if she hadn't actually? It doesn't matter that it's not real, if he acts on this information believing it's real.

He already seems mentally unbalanced enough that he seems on the verge of a psychotic break from reality (I mean, the fact…

Well, it does still reward the player for killing them, because they have money. Not because they are strippers: I could be wrong but you get pretty much the same amount for killing anyone in the game regardless of sex, gender or profession... but it's still incentivizing murder. It may not be rewarding gendered…

Well, that's an interesting question as well, because there are some arguments to be made that, for example, countries where pornography, even violent pornography, is easily obtained also have a correlation of lower violent sex crime rates:

With the thinking being that they…

The difference is that video games (depending on the game) are meant to be not only immersive experiences, but ones that require active participation on the part of the consumer of that medium. I think there are both positives and negatives to that aspect of video games that differentiates it from the consumption of…

Except that's a false comparison: cartoon violence is clearly... well, cartoon violence. Whereas today's triple-A titles in the HD graphics generation are _very_ realistic, and while perhaps we've yet to quite cross that uncanny valley, to pretend that the video games of today are the same as they were even ten, or…

Ironically, I've found it's generally easier to get people checked into a psych ward when someone is suicidal (i.e. only likely to harm themselves), provided there is room on the psych ward, at least in Toronto and Ottawa (Canada). Whereas I see a lot of people wandering around near Moss Park or Carlton and…

GamerGaters can call out those amongst their own, or those who self-identify as one of their own, for bad behaviour, though. Most of them just flat-out refuse to do so, because they're more interested in trying to silence and denigrate feminists (or more specifically, feminist women), and so-called "SJW"s than they…

There is some precedent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulugeta_…

"At the trial, WAR national vice president Dave Mazzella testified how the Metzgers instructed WAR members to commit violence against minorities. Tom and John Metzger were found civilly liable under the doctrine of vicarious liability, in which one can be…

And for profit. Or something. Or that she faked her own death to boost sales of her game.

See, at least people who have had a psychotic break from reality have a verifiable medical condition that precludes them from being cognizant of reality: GGers have no such explanation for their antisocial behaviour. The scary…

All I'd like to know is... when do I get my Hattori Hanzo?

I believe I have been short-changed by my country of origin. :(

I am jelly of anyone who can paint with absolute realism. As a (former) artist, I find her technical skill to be absolutely astonishing.

People are dismissive of artists who copy photos exactly, but they forget that it's actually pretty novel to be able to reproduce reality so accurately and it took humanity a very…
