OMG you back! Are you going to stay around? You were one of my favorite mods and then you just disappeared :(

OT: I really have nothing to say I'm still in shock

edit- btw why did you leave?

I just burned out on gaming for awhile. Constantly bickering over pointless hardware arguments while playing repetitive games that delivered the same juvenile content wore me out. I needed a year off or so.

I know exactly how you feel. I find it hard to motivate myself to game recently unless its with a group of friends, just so much other crap to worry about.

 

As for your argument about violent shooter heroes I agree completely. This is something that is true for games and hollywood. They seem so reluctant to portray their world through the eyes of a man driven to his darkest depths. Hollywood has gotten better at it but I feel like every time they get to the edge they pull back, afraid their audience will become repulsed with the character. If a developer could create a truly ruthless character with relatable motivations, a man pushed into his darkest depths and then fleshed into a believable world I think they could have a groundbreaking game on their hands. But they will always be afraid of alienating the player, they don't think we can cope playing through the eyes of such a character. Which is false I think, give the player the right motivation in the story and I think they would be more than happy to play.
