Welcome to one of my totally politics free rants. Guaranteed 99.9% politics free.    Today I will be discussing monologuing about why Cave Story (Dokutsusomethingsomething) is so awesome.     The aspects Cave Story has going for it are its great storyline, its easy yet complex puzzle-shooter gameplay, and its pretty awesome soundtrack. First, I love Cave Story for its storyline. It's simple, yet moving, and you get plenty of choices on what yo...

      Welcome to the second rant on my theology. I'm gonna go straight to the good stuff. This one's a tad shorter.     6. Heaven: I believe that Heaven is both a place and state of mind, and that as finite beings we are not meant to know much about Heaven or Hell.     7. Walking away from Salvation: I believe that it is possible to lose one's salvation by turning from God, but He will forgive us if we turn back to Him.   &n...

    Anyways, welcome to yet another torture session rant of mine. Today I will be rambling on and on and on again and again about theology, and more specific MY theological interpretations. I will be talking about a variety of topics, and will update occasionally.     1. Kosher Law: Kosher law was made by God to help the Israelites grow strong. The reason for this is that foods commonly banned in Kosher law are actually unhealthy and require specific cooking ...

    You all know, if you've read my stuff before, that I have big ideals on what I want in a game. Not many games make it past me. You can now read onward, or die trying.

It must be at least playable from FPS and/or TPS perspectives, with one other perspective, such as an RTS or Hack and Slash style. This would allow fans of more genres to play the game, an...

      You're probably here for a list of good free and open source games. When I say free, I do not mean Free as in Mabinogi, with its cash shop, I mean 100% free. I will say if there's any commercial interest that will affect the average player. Use Google or Wikipedia to find these games.     Battle for Wesnoth: Five @'s. Probably the best turn-based strategy game I've ever played, at least from a military strategy, as opposed to X-COM style. Nice fantasy setti...

    I'm going to start off on an adventurous foot. Thanks to Ryan Vincent (Yes, I do Google any name I find, no intimidation meant) for showing me this site. My topic today is Roguelike Design from the player's eyes.     Rogue was the first Roguelike game, for those not in the know. If you know about roguelikes, you could skip this paragraph. Rogue was basically a tile and text-based RPG that put you in control of an adventurer. You can (z)ap wands and (w)ield sw...
