Re: Feminism/Gender Studies
There's no clear border, you're a product of culture and nature. Alcohol just changes your brain's chemical balance, just like when you're angry or whatever. This affects your mood and decision making. Language doesn't change when you drink. Your use of if might. (Of course, one could argue that lan...

Re: GOG offers Fallout for free
The rights to original Fallout games are changing hands from next year on, and what better way to celebrate that than by poisoning the well to the new owner by giving the games for free? So, for the next day and a half, you can get Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout: Tactics for free at GOG.com . Howe...

Re: Feminism/Gender Studies
Relating to this, there was an article on the Economist about the difference in brain activity between males and females . Dr Verma’s other main finding is that most of these differences are not congenital. Rather, they develop with age. Her volunteers ranged from 8 to 22 years old. The brains of bo...

Re: New adventure games
The new Broken Sword (number 5, The Serpent's Curse) was released todayish. So far so Broken Sword. I believe the reason Grim Fandango is often said as the last great adventure game is that it tried to push the boundaries by going 3D and dropping mouse controls. It tried. BS5 doesn't try and the mec...

Is freeware dead?
With the advent of indie games and variety of digital distribution channels and especially mobile, are freeware PC games becoming extinct? Now that channels like GOG.com, Steam Greenlight and Kickstarter exist, are developers choosing to sell their games for small amount instead of giving it out for...

Re: Cheap Game Sale
It seems that every day there's a new bundle up on the interwebs. Anyway, now there's a good chance to pick up three games for 5 dollars or more and all the money goes towards your selected charity. And, unlike in the Humble Bundles, all games are free of any DRM, because I don't think GOG.com has g...

Re: What games are you playing currently
I decided it was time I gave the Assassin's Creed series a go, but had heard that like Hitman series, it's better to forget that the first game exists. So, I started to play Assassin's Creed 2. Having read Stephenson's Quicksilver trilogy, I find I like this historical fiction stuff where real histo...

I think that's a quite recent game, where when you died, it randomly created a new dude with new possible abilities.
