http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_World This game looks really, really interesting... it's supposed to take place in modern times and involve vampires and aliens, as well as zombies; also, the battling is supposed to be more action-based than a typical MMO. I'm excited.
http://kotaku.com/5160595/xbox-live-sadly-no-place-for-lesbian-gamers I think this is absolutely terrible. Instead of banning the people who constantly harrassed this girl, they instead ban her; as far as we know, she just mentioned she was a lesbian in her profile. Nothing offensive. Microsoft claims that they would do the same for anyone who has something about their sexual orientation in their profile, but... I personally find that really hard to believe. What if a male put "loves his girlfriend" in his profile? I highly doubt it would cause a ban for that player. I saw a lot of comments on Kotaku about things like, "It had no place in her profile!" or "It's her fault she got harassed, she said it!" but... that's just making excuses, in my opinion. A profile is a place to put what you want to express yourself as long as it's not meant to offend anyone; having something like "I'm lesbian" could just be her way of expressing herself. I've seen potentially offensive names on Xbox LIVE before, yet of all the things that get banned, THIS is it? What are your guys' thoughts?
I went to a GameStop a few weeks ago with a few friends. While I was there, one of the workers was really friendly; my friends think he was flirting with me. I recall leaving and happening to turn around to talk to one of my friends and the guy was watching me, chin in his hands while he was smiling. Now... I've gone back to that GameStop a few times, kinda hoping to see the guy. His nametag was backwards so I couldn't see his name, so I don't know it. And... I don't know, it's been nearly a month, and I haven't seen the guy again. The chances of him remembering me are slim, as are the chances of him being gay and having actually been flirting with me. I feel kinda stupid for even hoping to meet him again and maybe have something come out of it, but... I don't know. Is it so moronic to want to go back and possibly run into him again?
This has just been announced for a North America/Europe release. Anyone play the Japanese version at all? Is it enjoyable?
link I am currently working on the story "Incomplete Angel". If anyone would like to read and review, that would be great!!
Anyone else hear of this? Apparently it's a new MMO from Square that's in Closed Beta for North America. Any info? Or opinions about the game?
Action-oriented MMOs? I've tried Lunia, and that's decent, but... I dunno. Any other action-y ones? I don't like the typical MMO that you click on an enemy then wait and hope it dies before you...
