Diversity is good sometimes. Too much diversity, as in the culture of a nation, is seldom good. This crap however, changing the sex and/or race of a popular fictional character is not about diversity it is about driving sales. It is a lazy way of creating controversy rather than creating fresh, innovative, new…

I believe you are correct concerning extension of self. I think no matter what, that the characters we create in games are extensions of self. I always play male characters. They tend to be loners, choosing not to belong to guilds. They try to survive on their own, figuring out ways to overcome adversity without the…

I have a theory on this. I believe that males choose female characters, as you say, largely because of the way they are depicted. Typically very sexy. I also believe that males create these incredibly powerful and capable female characters in games because where else would such a woman even give the average guy the…

Yeah and Superman sold more when he was dead.

Being rich looks so slow and boring.

Literally LOLed

I've never once, for a moment thought it was easy. I look at the work, the art, the attention to detail, the background images, the audio, the story, all of the coding for "what happens when..." and the years of work it can take which doesn't even count the years of work of pre-existing components like game engines…

I remember all of the characters in Pitch Black. That was one of the things about the movie that set it apart from your typical giant budget SciFi spectacular. Stereotypes were broken, no one was exactly what they seemed. It was like Alien in that respect, or like a good episode of Star Trek. Fry wasn't there to drive…

It's like any other math or technical field. They need to make sure you have the foundation knowledge and are not solely relying upon technology. There were many coding tests that I could simply have downloaded finished functions and routines to complete, but I was forced to crank out the code for example.

I dunno about it not being perfect. What is left out is left for each us to fill in. Isn't that always the case in significant art?

I.e. MAD no longer works because there really are people in charge of countries who are quite mad.

I believe they would do just that. There is so much going on in the world that who needs aliens for a good government conspiracy?

This was really good. Thanks. There was a great deal of fear about Japan taking over when Blade Runner came out. When I see the blended cultures though, I don't experience fear. It strangely gives me hope.

I credit Ayn Rand with keeping me from making a great many mistakes in my youth. From her I learned the value of individuality. I did not have to follow the crowd. I learned to respect and celebrate the accomplishments of others, not to be jealous. I learned (and this was important) what "property" meant and that I…

That is a very good answer. I've never understood why people ask what the meaning of life is. Understanding what life is, it would seem to silly to say that it has a meaning. It's like asking what is the meaning of water? Water is what it is, it is what you do with water that has meaning.

Kinda sounds like Farscape. Only with demons.

BOO!

I like it. Mostly I'm sorry Mr. Jobs didn't live long enough to enjoy it. If you look at his relatively normal lifestyle, this looks like his big toy, the one he never got to play with. Is the family keeping it ? Or will it be sold. I like the two iPads up top.
