Alright, Kriptini, let's say there are some video games that shouldn't qualify as games, but rather as "interactive experiences". Where can you purchase them? How will you find them? What value does making this distinction hold? Quaid suggested that separating them would make it easier for...

Chanur: "Those (Salon) are your people Moon Bat. Think long and hard about that in your time out." Actually, I haven't affiliated myself with them in any way, nor have I ever expressed views that align with either one of those articles. Nice troll, tho.

Wow, Famm, that "Evolution of the Word 'Thug'" piece was actually pretty interesting. Nice find. Would +1 you if I could.

I think taking the "game" part of "video game" literally is misguided. I think it's been many years since things we consider video games have not actually qualified as "games". I mean, obviously "Mario Paint", "Elektroplankton" or "DIY Wario Ware" aren't technically games, but the only place...

Stacking Dear Esther 30 Flights of Loving The Last Express Braid some Telltales games L.A. Noire (includes "skip this" option for car chases and shootouts) Journey Flower Masq The Sam & Max games Analogue: A Hate Story Antichamber The Secret of Monkey Island (excepting if you try to...

Edit: Sorry, didn't realize you were talking console exclusive.

Quaid, I get what you're saying and I agree with much of it, but the solution is not to create a sub-category of video games that are "NOT video games". The solution is just better categorization of games, which, to be fair, has ALWAYS been a challenge. Steam is actually acknowledging the...

Quaid: "I'm saying it's just fine to sell it on Steam or anywhere else that sells interactive digital media. Just categorize it properly. It's a (quite decent) digital novella, not a game. It's no less noble or entertaining, and categorizing it improperly is not fair to consumers who may be...

Quaid: "Cook books aren't novels. Should they be taken out of book stores?" There's a section for cook books in book stores, isn't there? They're certainly not among the novels. Instead of dodging my questions with non-applicable comparisons, why don't you propose your solution to this...

Rabblitsu: "Being cryptic does not always mean you are a good story. Dark Souls is a game where cryptic and atmosphere work due to its circles and time displacement and erstaz history work in its favor. A game where you walk through a house does not work in its favor. Japan does those types of...

Quaid: "To be fair, I said it wasn't a video game. I said that because it isn't a video game. It fits the 'video' part just fine, but not the 'game' part. Not everything presented on a monitor that you interact with through a keyboard/controller is a game. Gone Home and experiences like it...

Raddishu: "Who ever said it wasnt a "video game"? God you are such a prick. The issue is that its not a fucking 10/10 best game ever video game. A ton of idiots used a slimy ratings system to push a narrative just because LESBIANS. Who gives a shit about Lesbians? Who gives a shit about...

"Is 'fraud' a personal insult or a professional one?" Personal, unless there's anything to legally back it up. In this case, there isn't. "Was she really talking about Hitman?" She was talking about a trope that was present in Hitman. "Did she really claim games cause sexism?" She...

Seb: "You're living in a fantasy if you don't think ridicule works. I think I can speak with some level of authority on this matter." Let me put it this way: If I tell you how powerfully stupid this statement is and that you're a complete moron for believing it, will you reconsider your...

Good to see you not actually countering it in any way.

It's the "and people decided to shower her with money!" part I take issue with, genius.

Dr. Mario: "lol 'Anita wasn't selling anything! She was speaking her mind and people decided to shower her with money!' You never cease to amaze me Tan." Funny, that's not remotely what I said. Not even close. Either your reading comprehension is terrible or you're being intentionally...

What's with your obsession, Lurkingdirk? How about you mind your own name and leave it at that?

Soy: "In what way do people bitching about her here influence the kind of money she is making?" Well, anybody in a neutral position who reads the anti-Sarkeesian posts here (including many lurkers) is gonna think "Holy shit, these guys are fucking nuts". Why? Because the VAST majority of...

You know, Hodj really IS the Tanoomba of the "Ethics in the Sciences" thread. He also seems to have the more logical argument. I would hope that he would learn how easy it is to find yourself on the wrong side of a dog pile (even though you know what you're talking about) and reconsider his...

Take the anti-SJWs out of the picture and she would not have made exponentially more than she asked for for her Tropes vs. Women series. This is a fact. It's why those who donated don't even care that she hasn't followed through on the videos she was supposed to make. Check the comments on her...

Say: "I don't know, but she made almost half a million dollars last year. People don't get money without selling something. You sell your time, skills, product. What reasons did you give her money?" Pretty weak, bro. You can't be a snake oil salesman without snake oil. Let me help you...

Sorry, "Say" = "Soy"

"I feel like that is part of the "SJW problem"...the internet has allowed these people to create one giant circle jerk where they don't have to expose themselves to normal society, and thus never frankly have to thicken up, there's always another white knight or hug box a few clicks away where...

What's she selling, Soy? Who's buying? Are they being ripped off?

Quaid: "While I agree with most of what you say with regards to Sarkeesian, there is one fundamental difference between her and Protein World. One of them is selling a useful product based on solid research that fills a consumer need. The other is selling snake oil." Again, what you're doing...

Quaid: "Are there individuals who will buy protein shakes just to stick it to SJWs in light of what happened? Sure. However, it's a stretch to claim that was the plan all from the start. Maybe people who work hard every day on their bodies are sick of hearing about 'thin privilege' and 'fat...

Iannis: "It is so disgustingly self absorbed and self aggrandizing." I never said or implied otherwise. What you seem to not grasp is the behavior of anti-SJWs is equally self absorbed and self aggrandizing. Iannis: "They speak for no one but themselves, Tanoomba. Kinda like you." I...

Really, Quaid? You don't think they realized there is growing anti-SJW sentiment and that this could be exploited for their benefit? All the new customers they got (including at least a couple of posters here) were not part of their "already loyal customer base". They were people who had never...

Space it out, champ. Let some other dudebros make sarcastic comments that neither address nor acknowledge anything I've actually said. That's the way you "win" these things, isn't it? I'm sure Dr. Mario has some delightful tidbits he's been saving up for just such an occasion. Let's see...

Just a friendly reminder: Punishments don't work if they are perceived to be delivered unjustly. They work even less when they ARE delivered unjustly. Hey, wait a second... I don't have to check Hodj's posts for threats and harassment any more! Kind of ironic to feel more "free" in the...

Ugh. I had no intention of posting at all for a while, but I just cant. I just... can't. First of all, the ProteinWorld thing. Here's a company who realized that by pissing a lot of people off, they would get a shit-ton of angry publicity which would in turn lead to a wave of support for them...

From a link in the article:

It's the rickshaw. If I want to call people out on their baseless accusations, this is the best place to do it. Thanks for the advice, though.

So... you got nothing, then? That's what I thought.

How do you figure? I have yet to lie about anything here.

Video game?

Luckyyyyyy

Bought the Origin bundle and only realized after the fact that several of the games don't have Steam keys. Jimmies rustled.
