If there's one I thing I know about Civilization fans, it's that they love new Civilization games :cool:

I will say that this latter one is less cut-and-dry, despite what the producers of House M.D. might want you think, there are definitely certain circumstances and certain locales where lying to your doctor is good and sometimes necessary to actually get the care you need. You also should never...

Hello it's me, the one single Dragon Age II fan, looking forward to the new one.

Ah, that's better, now I don't have to read anymore threads about pineapples ever again.

Not to feed any trolls, but it's worth pointing out that Monsterhearts is deliberately teasing the boundaries of consent in ways that it is very up-front about and that anybody playing should be consenting to before-hand. It's not a bug; it's a feature. Fortunately most queer people (and most...

Absolutely this, and louder for the folks in the back. If you wondering for a contrast, the Disney animated canon was already brought up so I'll bring up another example: Dune, where the Harkonens aren't necessarily villains because they're queer, but are queer because they're villains.

It's mostly because they're fricking delicious

Again, I point to the recent history (at least in the US) of the phrase "They go low, we go high" and how well that attitude worked out. There is a definite appeal to the idea of "If we're not going to do it the right way it's not worth doing at all", which is completely understandable, and...

To be fair, there was a lot of hype surrounding it and Jim Ward in particular before he decided to lash his wagon to a cadre of bigots

It's worth mentioning that this Lanasa himself would have no problem dragging others through the mud in similar circumstances if he considered them one of his "enemies". He has made it clear time and again that there is nothing that is too sacred, and nothing that is off the table for him. It's...

I think you know exactly how to take it :cool:

You are comparing apples to oranges. Any tool can be used to create art when it is the human doing the creating. Something like a Photoshop tool or digital art app might be more sophisticated than a paintbrush or a chisel, but it is still being manually manipulated to translate conception into...
