Stefan Eriksson submitted:Very interesting and tragic - Jimquisition brings up the creepyness of game publishersIf you had missed it I think this is interesting: Jimquisition brings up the creepyness of the attitude towards female protagonists by the gaming industry higher-ups.
This was very interesting (barring the ending where I didn’t like his implication that any men turned off must be secretly gay themselves, or his sexual taunts at them). Especially the part about publishers specifically saying they didn’t want to put the heroine on the cover of the game, and that a developer was told that their heroine couldn’t have a straight relationship because it would turn off the straight male audience.

The Tenth Doctor, the cheeky, technobabbling, wise cracking and yet slightly vengeful incarnation of the Time Lord portrayed by David Tennant throughout the 2006 - 2010 seasons of “Doctor Who”, now rendered in a blocky 16 x 25 pixel resolution.
The 50th Anniversary is coming up soon - maybe a new special “Doctor Who” set is in order ?

I was trying to look up some recipes….. ;>_>
Dinner for one?
Fall year 2 and I’m still playing this game! Probably one of the best Harvest Moons I’ve played.
But there is something that really bothers me about this game…
Sometimes the characters talk about weight gain.
Tina and Toni have this whole scene where Tina worries she’s gaining weight and Toni, being a child and having no tact, agrees that she has gained weight and continues to upset her.
Michelle also has this strange dialogue when she’s eating lunch or dinner and she says something to the likes of, “Wouldn’t it be horrible if I got chubby?”.
Finally, Niko, an overweight child, states that he doesn’t feel very cold in the winter probably because he has a lot of fat.
What is up with this kind of crap in video games? I’ve played games since 1990 and I’ve never seen such insulting dialogue in an E rated game before. If I was a kid and I played this game, it would probably make me question if my weight was acceptable or not, which would lead to have insecurities about my physical appearance. Not that I didn’t get that kind of bullshit from other kids my age already. It’s just bizarre that Nintendo would be okay with this…
apparently I couldnt find anything more useful to do at 4 AM so I made this great visual representation of the journey of making a comic, from an idea to its realization (at least, what I’ve observed so far of the process)
That’s perfect. Print this on your wall. Do it all. NEVER GIVE UP.
ahh…yes…….
Yep.
I know that feel all to well… Better get back to work! :D
