Why ask? Assume the answer is "No" and squirt that much quicker.

"Most humans have dealt with crazy". That's a powerfully vague statement. How much is "most"? What's your criteria to qualify as "crazy"? All I'm saying is I now know why you have difficulty being objective when you talk about gender issues. You got fucked over by a crazy chick (edit...

No, that you have been slighted by a crazy chick you dated and assume that has happened to every man, giving you a distorted view of any story having to do with gender issues. Yeah, of course some women are nuts. I would never pretend they're perfect, but thanks for the strawman. There's a big...

This explains so much.

Quoted for posterity. The ignorance on display here is mind-boggling.

Sounds more like a description of "attraction" than "love" to me. Do you really think those are the same thing?

Just in case this is not a joke, I decided to give you a real response: Do not ask out your barber. She is being paid to cut your hair and make you feel comfortable and welcome while she does it. That is part of her job. There is very little chance she goes to work hoping for potential mates...

Knights of the Old Republic is a masterpiece. Played it on XBox way back when and was floored. The developers treated the franchise with more respect than George Lucas himself did for his last 3 movies. If anybody hasn't played it yet, pick it up for a buck and you won't regret it (assuming...

Cracked article titles tend to be awful for exactly that reason. Still, paints a pretty disturbing picture of what a rape victim has to go through, and in her case it was pretty much best case scenario. At the very least, it makes it easier to believe why many rape victims don't pursue legal...

For a little perspective: 8 Ways the Legal System Screws Rape Victims (Like Me)

Despite owning SR2, I've heard it was completely overshadowed in every way by SR3, so I haven't played it (just like I have no intention of playing Far Cry 1 or 2 after playing 3). I did, however, love the over-the-top ridiculousness of SR3 & 4, so I'm not sure if it would be worth my time going...

That was really unfortunate.

Hoping "save the animals" comes though.

Well I missed the blindfolded Super Punch-Out run so it's certainly possible that was more impressive. On the other hand, I imagine Punch-Out is just a matter of knowing how to react to specific sounds. It's more about learning various patterns and then reacting to them on the fly. The Yoshi's...

The blindfolded Yoshi's Island run was incredible.

I did. No idea when I'll ever play it, but it seemed interesting enough and I'm a sucker for anime aesthetics.

Jesus Christ that bugs the shit out of me. I actually wish I hadn't seen that post.

Why so much hate for the fashion industry?

No, it wouldn't, because they're not YOUR games. They're just games. They don't all have to make YOU happy. Also, my point in referencing those movies was not to highlight the "twists", it was to point out that you can't just arbitrarily change an essential element of a story and then...

So I picked it up during the recent Disney sale (it was the first time I've seen the game on sale and I really wanted to play it), and I really enjoyed it. Yes, the constant cutscene interruptions do impact the flow of the game, but there are good reasons for them to be there. On my initial...

So a fairly recent update made a few interesting changes I thought were worth mentioning. There were some minor tweaks like changing the generic colored dots on the mini-map to character portraits, but the main improvement IMO was the access to the "Replay" feature. Now, by default, your matches...

I take zero offense at you not liking Gone Home. I can very easily see why many people would not like it. I take offense at how you frame your reasoning, though. You misrepresent a reviewer's stance to imply that she's trying to take your games away, which is bullshit. You presume to have the...

Well, according to the one Utnayan himselffucking linked to, they were pretty fucking descriptive of what exactly the gameplay and mechanics were like and what exactly one should expect when playing the game. Who would have thunk, huh?

Utnayan, here's where you lose credibility for me, personally: You're plopped into a game where the first objects you are exposed to establish who you are (your luggage and your passport with your name and photo). Shortly after that, you learn that the house you are exploring is inhabited by...

Indeed I do. It was a unique (almost jarringly so) departure from "conventional" video games, which I happen to appreciate a lot. Don't get me wrong, it's not a fantastic game, it's very short and once you pass it there's very little reason to ever play it again. I definitely would NOT pay 15...

But probably not as good as Gone Home.

No you don't. If you want him to be found guilty in a court of law you do, but if you just want people to know that he did it, words are just fine.

I guess we missed it!

Besides the fact that there doesn't seem to be anything to support the idea that Sarkeesian is involved in the development of this game to begin with, and besides the fact that I also believe people with no game design experience or credentials should not be given important roles in game...

No love for Tanoomba? C'mon, it's Netsmas!

Glad to see the Netsmas thread is back.

Oh, so he's a hypocrite. Got it.

So Jim doesn't think it's OK to target advertisers when you are offended by something. What do you guys think?

What 15 minutes of fame? They're getting more flak than Cosby is, if this thread is any indication. You think speaking publicly about something that will have people call you a liar and an opportunist is something someone would choose to do for shits and giggles? Hey, let's take it one step...

What do you mean the argument completely changes? If 15 people who have no reason to lie tell me they saw Bill Cosby do a hit and run, or Bill Cosby shoplifting, or Bill Cosby doing a line of cocaine off a park bench, I'm going to strongly suspect that Bill Cosby did just those things. Why are...

That's not weird at all. You're just reading what you want to read. Nothing could be more regular or predictable.

I think you're confusing "proof" with "reason to believe". We have plenty of reason to believe they're telling the truth. The similarities between their stories, for one. The fact that actresses who played the Cosby kids' friends had their own stories about creeper Cosby, for another. Perhaps...
