We might have shit internet compared to most developed countries, but compared to the US we don't look bad (that comparison holds for a lot of things, actually).

I figured if there were many...

I agree with those definitions.

Bump, because I am a sad, lonely man.

Yes, but even if there IS a natural predisposition, that isn't necessarily meaningful.

Any genetic tendencies I've seen examined, which show a difference in male/female distribution, do so to far...

Whatever happened to Dave Tosser?

Well, it's definitely got a good mix of raw plot elements. I quite enjoyed it, don't get me wrong. Yeah, it touches on the by-now-classic themes, the closing of the frontier, the cycle of violence,...

I heard about this (rumour) earlier, and it was shitty enough (for xbox owners; I'm a grudging playstation man if forced into consoleland) then, but holy crap that guy's a cunt about it.

And, uh,...

For a video game, sure. For a western? Eeeeeeeh.

I'm pretty sure the Simpsons did that joke years ago.

Fair enough; it was just a general observation of mine, and I was struggling to think of an example of two eras the right distance apart (those being the first to mind). It's not my field, and I'd...

People are always nostalgic for things 20-40 years ago. Since, naturally, it's when the current crop of young-to-middle-age adults were growing up and coming of age.

I mean, there was MAD 1890s...

I finally got ahold of a DVD of Bon Cop, Bad Cop. Aaaaaw yeeah. What a classic.

Oh, it sure as shit is an art game. That's not in itself a judgement (I as much as said before I think it's a masterpiece). Well, it's not trying, that I agree on - as you indeed go on to say, it has...

Unfortunately, RPS ain't what it was four years ago. It's big enough that there's a constant input of new readers, some of whom are naturally going to be shiteating loudmouthed moral atavisms (as in,...

"What can change the nature of a man?", you might say...



But, Nalano, THINK OF THE CHILDRENS.


Anyway, the Path is totally a thing that exists. I really can't say much more than that about...

Anyway, here's my lazy summary of what I'm thinking here:
the gender discrimination found in most video games (being related to the expression of such in all media) is really only due to the...

Well, sure, if you're an admittedly nihilistic misanthropist.



And naturally, the problem there is how circular the process becomes. If you're making (well, approving) new things based on what...

Yeah, but I also think unequal treatment, even in fiction, is a bad thing. So maybe I'm not so cool.

Does hearing the double entendre in there make me an objectifying chauvinist? 'Cause now I'm worried.

Known to the very small subset of people who follow development blogs and updates. Not necessarily known to many buyers. Evidently not known by many buyers, in fact.

That discrepancy is part of...

Reading this whole thread in one go was maybe not the greatest idea I ever had.

It WAS indeed called KGB (though, looking it up now, the CD-ROM re-release was called Conspiracy). Playing it in retrospect, it's just as fascinating as a bit of history (it is set - and was was...

Eh now? The point I was making was that - well designed though the boobs may be - on close inspection, there's at least that much attention to detail everywhere. It's up to the player what they...

Only if that's all you're looking at...

I mean, check out the water on a beach sometime - the wave animation isn't canned, it's dynamic. Player damage is all calculated dynamically too, based on...

With the Social Club back on the front page - I shall call this to attention again. Who knows, right? I'd commit SO HARD if even a couple other people were interested. I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE, fellow...
