Maybe I'm not explaining properly, I'll try to keep it simple. Are you saying that a representation of a male character in a game can't be demeaning to men? If you think it can be then you should respect the fact that many female gamers find these ridiculous breast sizes as objectifying to them and possibly offensive?

I'm going on a crusade to make sure all male video game characters have more realistic physiques. That is, pot bellies and can't run for more than 50 feet without huffing and puffing. I mean, apparently big breasted female video game characters give a bad message to girls. So the same should really apply to the risk of boys feeling bad about their bodies because they don't look like those muscle-bound hunks in their video games. I know you are being facetious but the analogy isn't quite the same. If you want to understand why they want to reduce the inordinately large sizes of womens breasts in some games a similar example would be male characters who have massive and bulges where there p***s are. It would looks silly and isn't unrealistic. I also believe most guys would have an issue with it, this is about the objectification of women and there physiques. I don't think its unreasonable or is going to dilute your gaming experience in anyway? No, that's exactly the feminist fallacy. That portraying women with an idealized physique somehow cheapens them, and yet is a completely different thing when it comes to males. In fact, the real fallacy of common feminism is trying to replace one set of double standards with another instead of trying to do away with them. Really, I use to play the MMO Mortal Online. In that game you could have a character that was naked. There was huge complaints from members about the "unacceptable nudity around male avatars " in the game, but I don't remember anyone complaining about females that were naked. I don't see this as a fallacy, many men are fine with disproportionate size female body parts but perish the thought if this applies to men. I have personal experience with this perspective.

Well I think its a good idea for Italian members of the community, so good luck

Have I ever mentioned that you a pessimist. No not a pragmatist or realist. You need to see the glass as half full sometimes Monte

Increased Russian military intervention or aid wouldn't help the situation at all I am optimistic that the peace talks could have positive results. I see that the Western backed Syrian opposition doesn't want to attend the peace talks because Iran was invited. But we need Iran there as they are primary sponsors of Assad. I am of the opinion that Iran is prepared to assist in brokering a truce because sanctions are being lifted against them and there is a real deal around there Uranium enrichment where they feel they are not being treated unfairly. I did predict that if you can get Iran back into the international community this will bode well for conflicts throughout the region. The only concern I have is Assad may want to stay in power in some sort of coalition government and I don't see Syrian opposition accepting this. Maybe he can go into exile into Iran but I doubt he would accept this so we will have to see what transpires

But Malc imagine all the wild moose you would see in the Canadian wilderness, you could gain another pet?

So in summary you don't care if PoE is a good game because you have loads of time on your hands to not play RPG

That does sound fun, I enjoy visual hallucinations. But I can arrange a little piece of paper for you that will give you the same effect without the lack of sleep

Wow Tale I always thought you had more patience than that, I can't believe you gave up after 10 hours Everyone knows you only stop pointless and repetitive monster fighting scenes after 100 hours, the way I see it you still have 90 hours in that maze. Back to the game son, back to the game

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/20/shroud-of-the-avatars-raised-over-3-million/#more-185347 Wow so this game is slated for a March 2014 release, that's a mere 2 months away. 2014 really seems to the " Year of the RPG "

What about me Prime, doesn't the Internet need more people like me who are committed evangelists to decent Romance options in RPG? You know you need more people like me .....

I think that's a good call. I haven't played the original BG, I picked it up on a Steam sale for $5 or so. I'll play it some time in the future

I'm a rogue program imagination, I'm the malevolent thought you can't stop thinking, the kind of thought that can't be forgotten nor controlled. I like the thought of you being in my imagination all the time...what lingerie would you be wearing? Personally I prefer pink or black but some role-playing outfits would work for me if that's fine for you?

Can you share some minor details?

This makes sense because in some of these games, particularly games from the east, the breast sizes are completely disproportionate to the size of the women. This is a positive step in the campaign to address the objectification of ladies in games.

clicking all the white icons on the screen != solving puzzles clicking through dialogue != playing a game walking from one screen to the next != exploration clicking through a QTE != combat It's not that different from a point and click adventure game really although TWD obviously doesn't want people to get stuck on anything since the story is the focus. Does it matter whether it's a game or not though? That's just a label, a lot of people clearly enjoy the product. I guess you're right, that's the bottom line - how successful the product is. I guess I'm just upset people support products I don't like. I'd much rather see game companies push themselves and genres they work on forward. It may not matter that much as we seem to be debating semantics, but I still think you guys would feel much better about yourselves if you admitted that Walking Dead is a game. I think you'll find it therapeutic

What exactly is the definition of "blant"? I tried Googling it, but all I got were crappy urban dictionary entries that seemed to have nothing to do with the subject at hand, as well as one entry that basically equated to "bland". It is me trying to type "bland" at 4:45AM it happens to the best of us

That Cthulhu game has potential

Yes and the primary reason we didn't see war declared between the USA and USSR was because of the threat of nuclear holocaust but as you mentioned they did fight various ideological proxy wars throughout Africa and other continents.

I didn't think you got Appletiser outside South Africa, I assume its imported? I love Appletiser but I prefer Red Grapetiser, its so refreshing

You correct of course and you forgetting to mention the fact we have you to point out our intellectual impotence and lack of ability to have debates to your level of mental stimulation...but Monte we are striving and trying to reach your level....be patient ...don't abandon us ...
