(I always assumed the problem with Egoraptor was that he's unapologetically used racist slurs as a joke for his whole career)

While it's cool and all people dislike Gone Home, I think the assertion that the game's fans say they like it because "it makes them seem intellectual" is a bit silly. There's a load of reasons why ~i~ really liked it, but because I was pressured into liking it because it's about gay stuff isn't one of them. I'm currently going through the entire coming out to parents thing and I can't tell you how meaningful it was to me to see not only that issue, but also people like me simply present in a video game.

So, like, when people say that this game is only so well-reviewed because it made the critics feel intellectual, I get a feeling that the people who claim this only feel that the topic of gender and sexuality/storytelling driven mechanics only exist for the purpose of feeding the egos of critics and creators, which I really hope none of you actually think.

haven't played it yet, but it looks like Hate Plus would be worth consideration.

As far as games I've actually played, Ittle Dew was pretty lovely? Also They Bleed Pixels was amazing.

I don't identify as a "gamer."

First of all, it's a ~ridiculous~ term, second, I just don't really feel much in common with me and the average self-identifying "gamer." When people use that term i just think of the heterosexual teenage dudes in my film studies class and shudder, so... I'm staying away from it.

I'm me, a person who has been affected by video games throughout my life. That's how I see it at least.

Ghostface Killah

Serial Experiments Lain. the game just uses the same title as the tv series, which is fine by me because it's really lovely and evocative.

make it clear to her that you feel this way. there's seriously no reason in not doing this. Something along the line of "I would like to spend time with you or whatever because aww you're nice, and you know my life is pretty fucked up right now, but you need to understand what that could mean for you before we see each other more."

I have fucked over so many of my friends by accident because I haven't told them that I've been having a hard time with life, it's really not worth it.

Also, yeah, I've turned down the three guys and girls who have ever asked me out, so, uh, go me, I guess.

I love They Bleed Pixels. Also Flotilla is a really cool game if you're looking for something obscure but cool.

an on foot racing game for ps1? I think it had a top-down view but I'm not sure. I think the racers were humans and humanoid monsters probably, and one of them was maybe blue?

It's already been mentioned, but it really can't be overstated how perfect Welcome to Nightvale is;
