Ah,I remember Lavitz. Stand up guy all around! He's missed dearly!

You have a right to be mad. It should not take them that long to resolve your problem,Nicole. Luckily, I've never been hacked in an online MMO but that's because I do not play many of them.

Historically you are,Cary! I was also around early enough even to play some Atari. We are the rare breed that pretty much lived through almost every console generation. (Pc gaming included) But when it comes to "what people should play" I'm just an opinion guy. I suppose I could get into decent informative discussions on "the progression of gaming" though. That is if anyone cared to hear my two cents on that. 

Popularity wise Hamlet or Romeo & Juliet tend to trump Othello. But it was my favorite play because it addressed the difficulties of culture shock,racial tension, and prejudicy way before most of civilization pondered those things. Othello was progressive and far ahead of its' time. I think its' Shakespeare's best work but I also enjoyed Midsummer's night dream simply because it deals with the fey.

You know it,buddy! I even played the really bad "Persona Revelations" port on the playstation 1. lol. Persona 4 and Persona 3 Fes are my favorites though.

Ah,electronics. Don't make em like they used too! 

I think that too. There are people that are experts in actual facts and experience. I suppose you could say they are "authorities" in their respective fields.

But when it comes to "What should people play" it's kind of a different pilgrimage for each of us,Chris. Besides, the question should be "What should "I" play?". What you play should not be my immediate concern so long as you are having fun and not going into convulsions! (If you were going into convulsions I'd at least call an ambulance though. I'm not a monster!)

But there are game journos that believe their word is friggin law and if you play "certain niche games" you must be a neck beard misogynist or a neckbeard otaku pedophile. I really hate it when these idiots bring their personal politics and personal agendas into the mix all while painting the room with broad sweeping generalizations.

Tekken and SoulCalibur are great franchises. I also want to get more into DOA despite its' mixed reputation. DOA 5 Ultimate looks pretty sweet!

Don't cut yourself short,Aaron. AVGN's livelihood came from reviewing nes,snes, & genesis games! As for "authority" I could not tell you though I've met some arrogant game journalists types who thought they were all that and a power-glove!

I think I hated Romeo & Juliet just because I was a jaded teenager. It was like rubbing "love" in my face when I did not have a girlfriend. lol. But they both died so yeah, maybe it's better I didn't have a girlfriend!

Of the plays/stories taught to us in HS I think the only ones I liked were Othello and Midsummer's night dream. Everything else kind of bored me.

If I revisted Shakespeare now I would probably have more appreciation for his works,Tami!
