I started Log Horizon after Sword Art Online... Similar theme, different take. It's okay, but I didn't really adore either, but if you like one you might like the other?

Kuroko's Basketball is the only thing lately that's kept my attention.

Also thirding FMA (Brotherhood though).

Wow that's awesome of you dude, I'd definitely like a chance for a key!

@atlantis89: Same deal, from the Nottinghamshire area. Still watch wrestling despite it being a constant disappointment (LU is pretty good actually). Been listening/watching GB for about 5 years now... I never realised that until I just wrote it...

Been doing the YouTube gaming channel thing for about a year... But mostly as a way of convincing myself to play some of the 50+ backlog of games I've managed to create for myself... Addiction...

Some faves; Dark Souls (hated 2), Persona 3/4, Project Zero, Don't Starve.

@charlie_victor_bravo: It's perception, not writing. Catherine got HUGE backlash for being "sexist", for the aspect of relationships it dared explore. Also completely ignoring that Katherine was the exact opposite; a successful, intelligent lady, but controlling. And that conversely Vincent is not a likeable person and gets critised as much by pretty much every character in the game. The women in that were anything but "damsels in distress", but people just see an "overly sexualised" character and scream sexism, same as DOA, Bayonetta etc...

Hell, this site has Tifa listed under "Sexualised" http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Women_Characters_in_Video_Games why? Because she has big boobs and a short skirt? Nothing about her actual character is sexualised... Outside of the crossdressing bit...

Most "female" oriented magazines are plastered with headlines about how men are the devil, society is so used to the idea of men being sadistic etc, (hell, huge subcultures promote it), that even in real life for a woman to do it comes across as more "unusual" thus unsettling.

As for female power fantasy... How about Dead or Alive? Messed up boobs aside, it's a female dominated roster (at least it used to be?) but gets a reputation for being "seedy", so it becomes "sexist". Rumble Roses? Onechanbara? Bloodrayne? All suffer the same reputation. At what point does it cross the line from female empowerment to exploitation? But the author ignores that so I'm going to too... Because it can easily be both. Also, people have different definitions of what is and isn't...

Also I assumed the backlash against the "torture porn" stuff in Tomb Raider was because it was out of character for that series... If it had been a new IP I doubt there would have been such an uproar...

Just got around to watching X-Men: Days of Future Past last night, this pretty much sums up how I felt, absolutely loved the first half of the film, but the second part was overly cheesy and melodramatic... Wolverine shooting off like Team Rocket had me in stitches though.

Enjoyable, but sooooo much that had us scratching our collective heads when we left, 3/5 seems fair.

Nottingham, UK

I thought it was pretty bad right off the bat, but that it could still just be mindless fun... Nope. I thought it looked a little Dark Souls-esque so was excited to play it, even did a video playthrough... God was I disappointed. And yeah, that final part of the game is just the worst.

I love how no one gives a shit that you're turning into a demon, yet go screaming when they see Mathras...

I'm insanely reluctant to use guns in horror games if they give you a melee attack, always figure I need to conserve the ammo for harder situations... Regardless of how much I actually have in my inventory or that the battle would take a fraction of the time if I'd pull the trigger -_-

Katamari Forever (assuming you haven't played any of the others, in that case don't bother), Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes (clunky but found it more fun than DW), Okami (HD), Tokyo Jungle.

Also, I'll bat for Siren Blood Curse too...
