http://www.gamespot.com/news/ea-dismisses-concerns-of-pro-family-anti-gay-groups-6370109 One of the things I've loved about BioWare since Dragon Age is that they included gay romance options and it's pretty cool to see their publisher not cave to the pressure of these stupid parent groups. Games have ratings for a reason. If you don't want your kids exposed to things then do research before you go out and buy whatever your kid asks for. Common sense is a wonderful thing.

I usually feel so weird commenting of blogs but I feel the need to say something here. First of I totally get where you're coming from. I've been there. I've had someone I really cared about and who I thought cared about me turn around and say horrible things to be for no real reason. It's probably one of the shittiest things that can happen to someone. But, as someone who was there and knows how much it sucks I hope you won't automatically think I'm saying the normal, feel better BS that people usually say when I say it'll get better in time. Because it will. Having said that, you should do whatever you need to do to feel better. If that means leaving the site, then leave the site. If that means taking a break from the internet or forums or people then do that too. If that means taking a break from writing then do that too. Just don't make any permanent decisions while you're hurting. When you feel better if you still don't have the motivation to write then that's fine, sometimes that happens even without emotional drama. But for now just leave things open ended. Don't close yourself off from possibilities just because someone's being horrible to you. And that's it. Um, sorry if that sounds like I'm butting into your life or anything. Definitely not what I'm trying to do. Just, feel better.

Metal Gear Solid. Awesome story. Amazing Characters. Great gameplay. Perfect score. (Like, musical score, not 10/10 score) Even with all the retconning Kojima does it's still the best game series ever IMO. I can't fanboy enough about it, lol. LIQUID!!!!!

I LOVED Duck Hunt. I'd cheat though, I pressed the gun against the TV screen and shot that way, lol. But I'm not really a fan of the Wii or the Move. Wii controls are awkward and they've ruined games that should have been really good *glares at Twilight Princess*, plus the WiiMote Plus thing really should have been shipped at launch. Sort of necessary. I like the Kinect though. Not for real games, but for casual games. Dance Central is WAY more fun that it should be and if they can do it right Rise of Nightmare's type games could be pretty fun. But mostly I'd rather just stick with a real controller. Waving my arms around while I'm trying to play a game like Mass Effect would be awkward and lame IMO. Motion controls should be an add on with games made specifically to use them, not the only way you can play.

Western RPG's, especially anything BioWare puts out. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Witcher, Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic are some of the best game series ever. Oh and Metal Gear Solid. Not really a genre, but it should be because it's freaking awesome and unique and it's the best game series ever.

I have all of them, but I love my 360. The controller is so much easier to use (for everything but fighting games *glares at HORRIBLE dpad*) and I just replaced my Elite (which stopped reading discs, not exactly a ringing endorsement, lol) with a Slim that makes this AWESOME little "ding" when you start it up or open the disc tray. Plus everyone I play online with has a 360.

Same here. I've been looking forward to Legacy for a while. I LOVED destroying stuff in Sim City. When I was a kid I sucked at actually making the city *glares at stupid roads that break down every 5 seconds* so I'd just load up a pre loaded real city and unleash the natural disasters, lol. Speaking of Sim games, I can't be the only one that remembers Sim Ant, can I?

I'm not a big PC gamer either. Costs too much to keep a gaming PC upgraded. I have a decent Alienware laptop right now but it'll be obsolete within two years >_< I usually just play strategy games (Paradox Interactive FTW!) but I'm doing Old Republic now too, which is seriously the best MMO ever since it actually focuses on STORY instead of just leveling up to the cap and going on raids.

It's a remake, a reboot AND a prequel from what I've read. Not sure how that'll work..... Anyway AC3 is a big one for me. As much as I loved Ezio I'm glad we're finally getting a new guy. Resident Evil 6 of course. My and my boyfriend played through RE5 8 times together so I'm hoping this one gives us at least that much fun. Metal Gear Rising. I'm a HUGE MGS fanboy so I can't wait for this one. Even if it might be just a DMC-like action game. Hopefully the story's good. The Witcher 2. God I've been waiting for that to come out on the 360 for like a year now. Can't wait to finally play it AND get Achievements, lol. Halo 4. Looking forward to a new Master Chief story and seeing how 343 can do with a game that's fully theirs. The HD Halo edition was pretty decent so I'm hopeful. Max Payne 3. God this is like the year for sequels isn't it? And probably so many more that I'm forgetting. Sadly I have to wait till the end of the year for most of them

Never read the books but I saw the movie today and it was pretty damn good. Better than I thought it'd be. I still like John Carter more, but I'd definitely see it again b^_^

I always use my fly. I hate walking into a bathroom and seeing some guy with his ass hanging out for everyone to see, makes me uncomfortable as hell. Plus I tend to think he probably isn't all that stable if he's practically naked in public. (No offense, I swear I'm not implying anything) If I'm wearing underwear that doesn't have a hole in the front I'll just go into a stall and pull them down a bit.

I agree. I actually kinda like gay for you stories more than I don't. But no matter how "realistic" they seem, I never think that that kinda stuff happens in real life. If I was gonna pick a gay romance cliche that seems like it'd happen in real life the most it'd be the "formerly promiscuous party boy gets tired of the scene and finds someone to settle down with in his 30's" one. I like that the guy didn't totally dismiss the genre and talk down to people who like it like a lot of people probably would if they were writing about this.

I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters. It's been stuck in my head for like three days now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFKUnfwBPTU

Hearing a song on the radio and by the time you get home you can only half remember one line so it's impossible to search for it even though the damn melody is stuck in your head. Dammit, it's 2012, I should be able to search "that song I heard in the car before" and have the song pop up! >_<

If there was a gay "Sex and the City" this topic would make up half the episodes.

Not really in a romantic way, but my boyfriend did burn me a CD with songs that had funny little meanings to us and a segment with Kevin Nash on the Alan Cox Show, lol.

Yeah, just ask him out. Or if he insists on being the "man" just play the stereotypical girl and demand he ask you out. When he does cross your arms, huff, say "men!" then freak out about what to wear on your first date for a few hours.

Email while I was 500 miles away visiting my boyfriend who, up until then, my parents thought was a girl. My mom got it in the middle of a work meeting and started to cry because she left bad that I had "no one to talk to" about it "all these years". I told her to tell me dad and she did and everything's cool. b^_^

I used to love the show but I haven'tt watched since the original voice for Principal Skinner left and they replaced him with the guy who does the voice for Reverend Lovejoy. Not just because of that, the quality had been going down since season 10, but that was the last straw. I HATE when voice actors get replaced and it's even worse when it's obviously another semi main characters voice. And now with the not-bitching, I LOVED the Treehouse of Horror episodes. The one spoofing The Shining where Homer goes crazy because he doesn't have beer or TV is my favorite though. It's the whole reason I read The Shining I was kinda annoyed when the book didn't have the "all work and no play make Jack a dull boy" part in it, so I had to watch the movie, and compared to the book it sucked. So, Simpsons is the reason I hate The Shining, lol. The movie was also pretty awesome. And yeah Sideshow Bob was great. I loved the one where him and Bart teamed up to stop Bob's brother Cecil (Bob was voiced by Kelsey Grammar and Cecil by David Hyde Pierce, more awesomness ) and ended up getting thrown back in jail even though he saved the day just because he was Sideshow Bob. The one where they were filming the Radioactive Man movie was great too. How can I not love the episode that gave us this awesomeness: So yeah, Simpsons was awesome.

I'm gonna halfway disagree. Yeah, knowing the ending doesn't automatically ruin the experience of a book, but a bad ending can totally ruin a story. If I'm reading an action story about saving the world and at the end the main character fails and dies or if I'm reading a romance where the main couple breaks up at the end it completely erases the rest of the story for me. It doesn't matter how good it was, I was invested in the characters and their happy ending and I didn't get it so the book sucked.

I know right? What's even worse is when the show has the PERFECT set up for two male characters to get together but they never go for it. *glares at Peter and Sylar*

Personally I like named chapters, but only if they're funny/clever/intentionally bad jokes. Generic ones like "Tim meets Andy" and stuff like that seem kinda pointless and don't give me much hope for the actual story.

I got a brand new one, people who correct you when you use a word wrong but have no idea what word you were supposed to use. If you're gonna waste time correcting me, do it all the way dammit! Don't just pop in and say "ha! WRONG!" then twirl away without telling me what I should have said! Grrrr!

I never upgrade my operating system unless the computer I'm buying doesn't come with my previous OS installed. That's how I upgraded from XP to 7, and I'm still kinda annoyed about that, even though 7 is kinda awesome.

I'm kinda weird with this. For a while I really confused "love" with "really like". I used to fall in "like" really easily and back then I was convinced it was love, so I said it, usually pretty early and sometimes to people I only knew online. Eventually I got older (talking, like, 14 here, soooo mature I know, lol) and figured out a little bit of the difference between "love" and "infatuation" and was a little more hesitant to say it. But looking back, I think I was more in love with the idea of having someone than I ever was with the person. It was always heart stopping and huge and I wanted to spend every second with them, but when it was over I missed having someone more than I missed any particular person. And in a lot of cases the relationships themselves were more painful than the breakups. After a while of not dating I met my boyfriend and it was the first time I didn't feel that huge, powerful feeling. It was more subtle. We still said it quickly and looking back I can't honestly tell you what I was feeling when I said it, if it was a dimmer version of the love we have now or just more infatuation, but it was the first time I ever said it where I wasn't really psyched about the idea of just being with someone. Actually I was reluctant as hell, be practically had to talk me into being in a relationship, lol. But after four and a half years whatever I was feeling back in the beginning has definitely grown into love. And we say it all the time. Maybe too much, because it kinda does lose it's impact after a while, but the feeling behind the words never changes, and that's what's important. And I'd never have found that if I didn't say it back way back then, so I can't regret it. But, if we ever broke up and I ever got into another relationship, I think I'd hold the words back for a while. Even if I felt it, I wouldn't wanna say it until I was sure as I could be that it was gonna last.
