Modgulator: as far as this thread is concerned, they asked what we thought.

Heh a bunch of people from my work are going tonite... They didn't ask why when I laughed in their faces and pushed them all down after they asked me to go.

Just want to say, if a single man wants to adopt a child or anything happens to the mother during birth or tons and tons of circumstances that can happen do indeed happen, paternity leave makes 300 tons of sense.

See, PC gamers make better lovers!

Men can take paternity leave http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/8258.html and it isn't ridiculous at all really. In the US at least.

Oh video games and love...

Argh! I fixed that, damned game! I make a game about technology going crazy and my game goes crazy! Will fix it when I get home.

Ã,  Ã, You keep saying that women are experiencing these problems, but you're not citing anything that is not uncommon, or unique just to women.Ã, 

She did mention: "I am being paid less than men of equal station to mine at work." Which is very real.

Men suffer sexual harrasment too, domestic violence is about fifty/fifty now, with little less than half of domestic violence being perpetrated against men by women.Ã,  Men are now a minority in colleges, and boys are falling behind girls in school.Ã, 

Interesting statements, sources?

Play his Tex McPhilip games... I loved them so hard and I'm quite excited for his 3rd installment!

Good luck and congratulations.

I'd help you work out your game play mechanics but I'm not a big fat nerd who spends all his time in his mother's basement pretending to be a female high elf...

I moved out and got my own basement for that sort of thing!

Coming to the end of your grant you finally finish work on your experiment. When moving it to a containment unit everything goes wrong... Can you retrieve your precious experiment and save years of research and millions of dollars worth of funding?

Okay. Let me get this straight. A female character cannot be believable if she has big breasts. That makes no sense. Girls with big breasts exist just as much as average-chested or flat-chested women do. I see nothing wrong with having an ample-bosomed female lead in an adventure game.

Those people on those forums really need to chill and stop being high-and-mighty about boobs.

Seriously.

Terran, let's say you were playing GTA3 and the main character was a 5 year old baby. You're running around shooting people and hijacking cars and dealing with the mob as a 5 year old. Do you think that the fact that the character is 5 years old would distract from the story to the point that it becomes something different?

This is the point of saying that a comically large breasted woman in a comically small nurses outfit being put in to what is described as a serious story will, in my and others opinion, distract and detract. The people who say that she may distract from the story aren't being high and mighty.

The creators of the game said that they wanted something fun to animate while she walked around and did stuff [bouncing breasts]. Let's say that they thought making her poop out of her butt while she walked would be fun to animate, do you think that would distract from a serious story?

"People don't walk around pooping all the time! There are big breasted women in real life!" and people don't get birthed from trees, yes. I'm not talking about real life, I'm talking about when telling a story one needs to take all elements into account or it may just fall flat on its face*.

*Luckily if she did fall over she'd be cushioned.

DG: Very good, this is a big pointless thread, then why did you post in it? Does the thread have a point now? Or are you now wasting your time when you should be starting threads about homeless people or something important.

and the domain if they turn out to be shady

Just to clear up a common myth:

"As far as any serious scholar has been able to determine, NO EARLY FEMINIST DEMONSTRATION BURNED BRAS!"

http://womenshistory.about.com/od/mythsofwomenshistory/a/bra_burning.htm

It seems there's no way to contact them...?

Yodaman, what happened to the other games you were making?

But anyway, people will play any game you make. Don't worry about it.

Then maybe what DG should have done is read this thread, the AG thread and OGSquinky's blog and see that only 1 person called the breasts vulgar. One person. I searched this thread and all the other ones for the word vulgar and I saw just about everyone saying "I wouldn't call them vulgar." "Gratuitous maybe, vulgar, no..."

So DG should have directed this rant to JohnPaterson on the AG forum since he's the one and only person who brought it up. You could make a case for saying that Snarky called them vulgar but only if you don't read his thread at all and just search for the word "vulgar".

Steve: The question is what has that got to do with the game "The Forgotten Element." Just because there's no need to talk about Katrina in this thread doesn't mean people are ignoring wrong doings commited by people in the response.

The mouse cursor is my soul source of fun sometimes... All the mouse related activities mentioned in this thread fit me well...

When I'm ever on IRC I like scrolling up and down to see how many times I can scroll and have the last line be my name. I think I got it up to 4 scrolls once... PMs don't count...

And just now I put the mouse cursor tip in the exact center of the 'o' in Post and usually leave the cursor on the edge of the blue reply box or butted up against the post button's black outline.

We're like little mini-Rainmen, if we combined we'd form a huge mentally handicapped giga-bot!

edit:  Oh, and it annoys me greatly that the text cursor doesn't fit in between double lower-case L's!

I like how you pretend to swoop down and be the sole voice of reason in this thread DG and then tell everyone they are wasting their time because there was a hurricane a few months ago.

If your main addition to this thread is "Shut up and debate something that really matters." You have an AWFUL lot of threads you're going to have to hit up and tell people to shut up in...
