Anybody else notice that the Maximus/Lucy dynamic is of the same mould as the Finn/Rey pairing in the new Star Wars movies? Black man who's submissive, bumbling, comedic relief; White woman who's "trying to do the right thing." I will say that Lucy is a far better character than Rey. Her...

Yup - that's Cass' father alright. She didn't just get her love of whiskey from him. Fantastically done!

Personally I would just as soon do without the lock picking & hacking minigames. In F1&2 the loot found was as much part of the story as the dialogue itself; I still remember the excitement of finding the Bozar after having to kill a couple of badass robots with rocket launchers. In F3,4, and...

The fact that this game pissed off the GLBT/Social Justice crowd, and this twerp in particular, is about the only positive thing you can say about it. Less than 1% of the population is gay; stop demanding that the other 99% bend over to make you feel welcome.

I really should update those files - they're the penultimate draft. I *think* the book's now typo-free... but typos are like rocks in a farmer's field. Fresh ones show up every spring. It's set around the Great Lakes - Ottawa, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago - the area I grew up in. Thanks...

Thanks, Brother None! It's been getting rave reviews thus far; I'm really happy with how it turned out. Just make sure you download the seven-chapter *.rar file - heh, the old pdf is a VERY early draft.

I wouldn't dream of arguing otherwise. That militant theocracy which backed it up did wonders to turn it into part of thw Western Canon. :P I haven't seen the movie, probably won't see it, so I'm not going to judge it; but when it comes to Christian Apocalypse Novels/Movies they always...

It's funny, but I've always thought that Moira was the only *good* character in that game. She was annoying as all hell, steeped in accidental Palin irony, and her Quest doesn't make sense if you think about it for five seconds - but as far as gameplay mechanics go, your stats actually...

I remember it like it was yesterday. First, elation at the announcement of Fallout 3. That was followed by months of growing cynicism as I learned about Bethesda, and even played Morrowind for half an hour. But then - that video... Hell, even the start screen of the game. I tried to...

Personally I'm sick of the 'black' in black or white. I challenge you to find me a single person who actually considers themselves evil. As the saying goes, "Everyone is the hero of their own story." So many of the 'evil' choices in video games are not only inconsistent with eachother, they...

If you want me to tidy up the translated English, I'd be happy to do that for you. If you want I can send you some samples of my writing, then you can decide whether or not I'm good at writing dialogue. (I'm presuming, of course, that English is your second language; your posting is...

I can't speak for the American military, but in the Canadian army we have top-of-the-line equipment - but we don't have any to spare! You take care of your kit, patch it up if need be, and god help you if you lose anything; that'll be coming out of your own wallet. Heck, I was infantry but I...

I'm torn on whether this is a good idea or not. On the one hand, legitimate writers are getting involved with gaming nowadays - Dead Space for example (which I haven't played) and Jericho (which I also haven't played). I'm a writer myself, and I'm hoping to branch into game development at...

What are you talking about? It had Liam Neeson in it! How do you define 'good voice acting' aside from who has the most famous names? The gaming industry has sunk into the Hollywood Blockbuster mentality.

Wow... this is pretty desperate on Guinness' behalf. They might as well have the category "Most popular cheese sold in Wisconsin," "CD Cover with the most primary colours on it," or "Heaviest leather shoes in a size 10." Seriously, "Fastest-selling Multi Platform Role-Playing Game (RPG)"...

Well... it was a *really* good game. I'll be honest, I'm torn between it and Fallout - obviously we're all agreed on which is the better game, but in Tactic I get to play a violent, fascistic soldier, imposing society whether the savages want it or not... Heh. It's entirely possible I just...

*Ahem* Maybe we shouldn't be so accustomed to it.

Albeit (al·be·it): al from the Latin alter, meaning other/another, also used in although. [/GrammarNazi] :) Anybody remember the good old days when game modding meant taking a critical success like BattleField 1942, and creating a Desert Warfare version? The appropriate level of support...

The first thing you have to do in any debate is define your terms. The dictionary definition of a word is never going to be adequate, and if you're arguing in a formal manner, it's considered amateurish starting off with "The Oxford English Dictionary defines X as..." Both parties have to...
