STDs don’t appear to be much of a thing in this world, which basically makes Geralt a big walking dick, all pleasure and zero risk.

I really enjoyed the game’s take on the typical “Great Battle between Good and Evil” and the ramifications in the history that occured subsequently. It was one of the first times I’d ever encountered such a redefined interpretation of the generic morality paradigm in a game.

Thing is, you could have Alyx as the main character and have her meet Chell at some point in the game, and it’d still fail the Bechdel Test...

Starred for Suikoden.

You seem to think I have some sort of stake in your behaviour, like I’m going to lose a fiver if I don’t get you to change your ways. I don’t. I really don’t care. I am outlining to you why you are getting the responses you are, responses which you seem to consider invalid. If you refuse to analyse your behaviour and…

Mate, I’m autistic. I do not follow the same “narrative” everyone else does. I do have to deal with that narrative though, and bitching about it doesn’t get me anywhere. Also, I’m not the one using “shaming” to avoid engaging with any of the points directed at me.

It’s not about appreciating ‘underage porn’ because I don’t see it as porn.

Well, for my part it’s not so much “shaming” as “pointing out.” For example, in the article about Dungeon Travellers 2, you decry the censorship Atlus applied to the game, even going so far as to claim it “hurts” gamers. But the censorship in question was of four images, three of which were quite clearly of pre-pubesce…

Sure, that sounds good. But ultimately your “intent” only matters to you. Everyone external to your own head has to, and only can, deal with how you come across as. It’s a reasonably simple dynamic: either you steadfastly continue on as you wish and thus deal with the fallout of how everyone else interprets your…

Actually I’d consider it pretty accurate. Whenever there is a conversation like this you can practically be counted on to show up and be pro Team Creepy. If that’s not your intent/you’d like to come across differently, I’d suggest re-evaluating how you present your opinions.

There’s a pertinent question here that doesn’t get answered though: If it had worked, would it have been worth it?

Makes you wonder how Richard, as the BIGGEST. IN. JAPAN! manages. I feel a twinge of sympathy for what he must endure.

Well congratulations. You just made up my mind for me, regarding getting this. >.>

Just to be sure, though, I played this video to Kotaku's resident Actual Scottish Human Mark Serrels, and all he could say was "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?"

Tenchi was one of my first anime, and was the first boxset I ever bought (Ah, Pioneer), but I did not like Universae as much. What I did find provided me exactly what I was looking for more of, however, was the Tenchi Muyo! manga. Same art, same comedy, same lack-of-taudriness. It really is just much more of what you…

Which is irrelevant to anything I said.

"Veiled references" ?

You're all wrong, as none of you put "Stellvia"

You're so cute. You're like watching a little robot made by an inept engineer that, no matter how the software is tweaked, just trundles forward and bumps into walls.

Heh.
