Categories: news, ARTICLES, web, other media Permalink
So while I was checking an old email account on yahoo, I noticed a story in the little news section. It read: Transgender Wife gets 4 years for killing husband. And I thought to myself, what does her being transgendered have to even do with that? But I c… more »

Putting the gay in game?

  • Final Fantasy X-2: It Might Kill Your Brain
    After recently starting Final Fantasy XIII, I decided it was time to revisit Final Fantasy X-2. Having only watched another play this game, I have long since decided never to endure a play-through on my own. With its Hannah Montana-esque plot, ridiculous costume change system and in-battle singing, watching FFX-2 effectively drained me of all wonder or concern over X's main protagonist, Tidus.
  • Massive database overhaul
    RIOTgamer is finally up and running again. Our main database became inexplicably and thoroughly corrupt. It's finally fixed. Just a few more touch-ups and we'll be publishing content again. Keep checking back!

  • Stockholm: An Exploration of True Love - A Sociopath's Dream
    Stockholm is an interactive DVD in which you play a sadistic and creepy (even though it's first person) kidnapper. The point, as the name may suggest, is to get your captor to fall in love with you. This goal is to be accomplished through fear using torture, rape, forced nudity, suffocation, gassing, etc. Charming.
