Next time an epic or pivotal conversation occurs in a future game I make I'm going to have it in a bath-house, stripper club,butcher cold room, or a sex shop "just because" I can. lol. Then when I get hundreds of complaints my troll smile will spread from ear to ear,Aaron. 
People really are too sensitive. It's okay to care about fellow human-beings whilst having scruples but "faux sensitivity" is just another lie.
I do it mainly because these types want you to explode at them,James. If you act polite yet still present your side of the argument they have less ammo to work with. Sadly,some of them are doggedly stubborn.
THe person responding on the link blog floored me when she flat out said "Well you're a man,maybe you just cannot write female characters". I concur what she says is partially true. In general it helps to empathize and be inside the head of the gender you write about. Then again, I've read some rather awful fiction by women who could not write about their own gender OR men worth a damn!
They are comfortable places to hang! When I have guests over that's where we usually converse. I think it's because beverages and snacks are an arm reach away.
I prefer Netflix. Not saying it's "perfect" but between it and Hulu I always went with the former.
It's funny because there is NEVER any actual cooking going on in that kitchen,Tami. lol. It's the most useless kitchen ever. It's "implied" that is where a meal was cooked but noone ever sees anyone working on it before hand. (Ghost chefs!)
Battle Arena Toshiden was a great game. I remember liking it more than the first Tekken though admittedely Tekken 2 blew me away! "The devil theme" always got me pumped to face a new day. (And during college I needed all the "motivation" I could get)
As a younger teen my favorite games were Chrono trigger,FF6,FF4,Secret of mana,Secret of evermore,and what many gamers would call a shitty port of Street Fighter Alpha 2. Still,I played the heck out of all of them!
It's also intensified,Joe. I remember when comic books wouldn't catch much flak for sexy poses and sexual content (within reasonable PG 13 standards) but now you have folks rallying against such content with the mockish Hawkeye initiative.
I'm not saying all content should be "kinky" and "pandering" but I do think it should be allowed to exist. I'm all for evolving gaming as art and entertainment but no genre should be sacrificed for that goal. (Afterall, even films have grindhouse midnight movies!)
It's a good game but very long. However, most tactical rpgs are lengthy out of the gate.
Yeah,it perplexes me too,mate. Personally I'm not big on torture scenes and needless human sacrificing but ironically those types of themes do not get much critical back-lash. But if there's "implied sex" or the violence in question happens to a woman instead of a man the journo shitstorm will cometh!
