LOL, yeah, nice and simple. Except, what about sex reversal, where you can have the physical characteristics of a male but have the XX chromosome? Then there's Klinefelter Syndrome, where the person may have XXY or XXXY chromosomes - are they male (they have the Y chromosome) or are they female (multiple X…

This is a really great article Ryan - it puts Scarlett's story in a larger context and gives a nice overview of the Korean eSports scene for those of us who don't really pay attention to that facet of the industry. I don't want to call Scarlett 'brave,' because I feel like that descriptor always gets used in stories…

That's a really interesting, if limited, application of the Oculus Rift. It's a fascinating idea, and video game spaces are really the best places to experiment with walking around in a body that's different than your own.

Happy Friday, Gameological! Let's get to it. With 345 comments the Most Commented article this week was the WAYPTW thread! (And just like that, everything is right with the world.) Now for the Top 5 Most Liked (non-KG) comments:

I've never played Dark Souls but I want to. From every description I've heard of it there's a steep learning curve and you die a lot, leading to repeating some of the same content over and over again until you get lucky enough to get past it. I don't know if that sounds fun or frustrating, but I know I need to…

Superhero Fight Club from SR4. Something about the combination of brutality and whimsy, as though you'd mashed up rugby and the WWE, made everything as ridiculous as possible, turned it up to 11 and the ripped the knob off; I would watch the hell out of this show, and probably buy the DVDs.

I just discovered that I've lost my copy of this! I have a copy of the trade but I went looking for it last weekend and couldn't find it. I don't remember lending it to anyone so I'm hoping it'll show up in a pile somewhere. So frustrating - I really want to read it again.

Shucks! I feel guilty about upvoting this. I'll just log out and do it anonymously.

Yep, new rules for 2.0. Everybody who comments gets a plaid jacket, because everyone deserves some style.

A Princess Peach action game. Fuck Bowser, that kidnapping asshole. We're taking the fight to him.

They're not a dealbreaker, but every time I see another unimaginative "rotate the thumbsticks" lockpicking minigame my heart dies a little more. Kudos to games like Deus Ex and Saints Row 4 for getting a little variety into their hacking games.

I always have trouble with those Willpower saving throws. You can borrow my Periapt of Wisdom, that may help.

Another week at Gameological, the coolest tab on the AV Club header bar. Our most commented article this week was the For Our Consideration about the Turnerization of video games with 514 comments. And here are the Top 5 Most Liked (non-KG) comments:

Thanks to my iron-willed discipline (insert sadtrombone.avi) and my lack of a robust gaming PC my backlog mainly consists of a short list of XBox games friends have recommended but that I've never played; the Hitman series, Dragon Age 2, a few others. In truth, what helps the most in preventing the build-up of my…

Yup, the holidays are fucking with our perceptions. Why do you think people wear so many terrible Christmas sweaters? Holiday-induced brain damage.

I really want to like EVE Online, and insofar as it's a "thrilling space battle" simulator I'm all for it. But when it becomes a "thrilling start-something-and-then-run-away" simulator or a thrilling "watch-your-mining-activity-bar-fill-up" simulator I realize just how tedious it really is.

Welcome to Week Six of Gameological 2.0! Let's see those stats. Our most-commented article this week was AJA's Adapt Or Die feature with 203 comments. Now on to the Top 5 Most Liked (non-KG) comments:

Coprophilia doesn't just happen on its own, you know. You gotta put some effort in if you want your kids to develop the really freaky fetishes.

The biggest problem I had with the original AC was how repetitive it was - it felt more like a demo than a full game. Once you get into the second game, and especially the sequels, things will get a lot more fun. There'll be a wider variety of missions, some gorgeous locations and a much more interesting…

More two-fisted gaming with my gaming buddy. I've started another playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas so I'll bring that savegame over to his place to play between turns of Civ4/Fall From Heaven, the utterly addicting full-game mod for Civ 4 that turns it into a fantasy-world with elves and zombies and spellcasting. …
