I loved Shenmue and Rez

Hah - I'm childfree and have dated a couple of divorced dads, and they basically seemed to be looking for someone to bone who was not going to nag them to get married anytime soon. Which was exactly what I was looking for at the time so it worked out great! (At least for a few months anyway.)

1. Bad tipper/rude to wait staff.

New York is not theee melting pot of melting pots it's Toronto. But your point still stands

You ever notice that they also tend to have interracial relationships where the fact that it is an interracial relationship never comes up?

This comment hit my right in the feels. I loved that game for just that reason.

So...Star Wars Galaxies 2?

I wish they had done something like that, I miss the game back before the CU (and yes I know there is a pre-CU emulator). The fact that there were both combative and non-combative jobs made a wide appeal to various sets of gamers.

No one can escape societal programming. Gamers are no different than any other subgroup that takes 'perceived' and real crap all their lives, then oddly, ironically, just JUMP at the chance to tear down someone else with the same comments. Haters gonna hate. And Gamers got some HATE stored up for sure. It's sad. Not…

Wow, I eat first breakfast AND second breakfast, almost always at home. I get up at 4:45 to get to the gym at 5:45, and usually scarf a yogurt and coffee before workout, then come home, have an egg/bacon tomato and toast before work, with more coffee. If I don't I will eat my own arm by 10am or so.

My husband made fun of me when we were dating because I routinely ate cereal for dinner. Now, I have more money, so I eat takeout when I don't want to cook. I should go back to cereal. It'd be better for my wallet and my waistline.

so I guess I'm in the minority of cereal lovers?

Girl, I'm 40+ and I buy myself Lucky Charms because what's the point of being an adult if you can't give yourself some of the things you didn't get as a kid?

Breakfast for dinner is the best meal ever.

It looks like FF13... how?

Why are you so negative, its a new game, if you don't like it, then don't play it.

The reason people connect with and admire Clair Huxtable is because she is a complete, fleshed-out, interesting character.

I just want to draw some quick attention to this line from Stanley's NYT piece (emphasis mine):

That's probably how females feel about... females in most videogames. *Whoa*

Yeah I am writing off dudes who aren't open to dating women their age! Whether I fall into that category or not.
