I was a music major in college. Trust me, it gives new meaning to the terms “G string” and “F hole.”

[Plays the world’s smallest cum-stained violin]

You know, ...

Unsure. I don’t really go after that particular type of pornography usually but on the occasions I have in the past it’s been much harder to find than I expected.

That instrument is broken out only for performances of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3-some.

If you replace the subject matter with literally anything else, the story is easier to... *ahem*... Swallow.

““Fakku played me like a cum-stained violin.””

Some orange tape in between photo shoots would’ve been enough and wouldn’t have even interfered with the cosplaying.

If you are carrying a fake firearm around in public where people aren’t expecting to see fake firearms (as opposed to a cosplaying convention) then it has to be recognizably fake from a reasonably distance otherwise you’re just asking for trouble. I played a bit of airsoft as a kid and got tons of looks from…

Good thing she was not a black cosplayer, or this would have been a completely different post... on The Root.

No orange tip, or even an orange barrel. Shame.

It’s not unreasonable. I jsut think, its a point at which I don’t think there is a real cost to being honest. We all know whats up. And so I find it a little bizarre (that’s not the right word) that they chose to not just be honest.  

I honestly don’t understand why they are not just more straight forward about it. “We wanted to make it more family friendly, please stop whining. ” They honestly would’ve gained some respect from me.

Hell in today’s climate I would’ve even accepted: “We have developers to feed, that gets harder to do if our game is…

oh nice, I don’t need to write my spicy counter-take anymore. this is it

I think this is a good take. I wish I had time in the article to go into those protect/ban system propositions. They seem really interesting and could make for super fun games. That said, after the last couple stages, there will basically never be a situation when I’d actively want to see GOATS again.

Thank god.  I am absolutely one of the ones who lost interest over GOATS.

I wrote a long paper in college about video games being, potentially at least, a uniquely powerful tool for developing and challenging ideology. Specifically about the Witcher 3, because it excels at revealing the player’s perspective and assumptions, and because I was playing it at the time and was too lazy to like,…

Growing up a closeted homosexual (was constantly in denial) in a very religious and conservative environment, I would say that it was the first Assassin’s Creed that made me really start to question my “christian” beliefs...then Bioshock Infinite turned me against the American dream...yeah video games have turned my…

I’d like to thank Gita for interviewing me! I may have only gotten one line in this article, but it was nice to talk The World Ends with You and how we’re both Neku. (Except I’m nowhere near as edgy as him, not cool at all, have no taste in fashion, and I’m twice as socially inept.)

This is one of the things I have always loved about video games. When we play through these scenarios, they give us the chance to develop empathy, and in some cases, challenge long-held beliefs. I have always credited games with saving my life, but more than that, they have helped transform me into (what I sincerely…
