handgiraffe will eat your heart

He also slobbers on Blizzard knob quite a bit.

The yellow Mario 3 Nintendo Power cover is forever burned into my brain. The Kevin Arnold hype was real. Still, World was the superior game IMO. Yoshi was a game changer.

Hmm Super Mario World tops my list. Honourable mentions to Super Mario Land 1&2, and Mario RPG.

Video by a dude with 8,000 subs who looks like my first year philosophy TA. Is it really worth watching? Really?

The idea of me being scared of attack is pretty hilarious. I've gotten into some pretty heavy throw downs with Utnayan and others in this very thread, and the pantheon thread. I'm having 'fun' because I'm playing with my brother while my wife is beside me on the couch. Simple as that. If...

Even though this season hasn't lived up to the first (really, how could it?) it's still some of the best television going.

For the love of God, don't buy this on PC. On PS4/Xbone there's nothing else to play until Fallout 4 if you've beaten all the year's big releases already. That's the only reason playing TESO for the summer makes sense... Hell, it might not even make sense if you're an XBRO since them lucky...

Also Pantheon LAN party

Why is any act carried out in a video game 'perverse'? What is unreasonable or unacceptable conduct in a situation in which an individual is only interacting with themselves?

She straight up said the developers 'carefully concocted' a situation in which players would fetishize the dead bodies of sexualized women. One could conclude that intentionally presenting situations of extreme social taboo (necrophilia) for the sake of selling copies isn't the most noble of...

PVP is still totally awful. Bereft of impact in 1 on 1s, biggest Zerg wins in siege warfare. If you are a small teams ganker you'll have fun in cyrodil, but there's no nameplates or inter faction communication... So there aren't many tears to drink. Dungeons are some of the blandest Ive...

Hulk is so full of his own shit the whites of his eyes are brown. Disregard that dude unless you want heartburn tonight. Tanoomba: Sorry, where was my 'confirmation bias' coming from when I watched the tropes series? What predetermined notion was I going into those videos with? I watched that...

I'm not willing to label everyone who had a strongly negative and vocal reaction to the tropes series as an asshole. If there's one thing gamers like, as we all can attest to, it's being right on the Internet. Her work was flawed and gamers gleefully, and perhaps overzeaously in many cases...

No apology needed, but thanks anyway. I do think she intentionally misrepresented context in many of her cited game examples. For example, she fails to mention the reality of sandbox games where every NPC is vulnerable, not just sexualized females. To those not well versed in the realities of...

Let's say you really think she's attacking developers and players with her infamous "carefully concocted" comment. You think she's projecting not just intent, but perverted and twisted intent onto developers and you find that highly offensive. But see, just because you're offended, just because...

Why do you think #GamerGate 'acting like assholes', in response to what you admit is flawed (false) criticism, resulted in increased support, fame, wealth, and influence for Ms. Sarkeesian? Do you not understand that this is what it's all about?

The entire concept is absurd. I hate everybody equally. Women aren't special.

It's because we all hate women Chanur. lol

How does what I wrote bring you to that conclusion? This thunderfoot dude you appear to have a year-long-hard-on for is only slightly less insufferable than Ms. Sarkeesian herself. I was calling you a hypocrite for praising 'arguing without snark' when you employ it so frequently yourself.

Complains about snark. Is snarky. That's our Tanoomba!

Lulz level: zero banpl0x

You clearly have a different definition of 'demonize' than I do. Unfortunately I know where this path leads, and I don't have an interest in walking it right now. Perhaps another time.

That's right Tan, I carefully concocted that sentence to derive perverse pleasure from your inevitable tears.

I dunno. You didn't seem to have a problem with Anita Sarkeesian doing it with Hitman.

If that kid didn't get any time because the Feds got him to roll over on his buddies, this is gonna be epic.

It was pretty clear to me that Lithose was referring to Gawker's (and progressive media's) overall stance, rather than the single article he linked for context. http://time.com/3506848/jennifer-lawrence-nude-photo-hack-gender-based-hate/

Gawker (and the guardian, Jezebel, etc) has called 'revenge porn' a hate crime during the Hunter Moore stuff iirc.

Did an article published by Gawker ever call what happened to JLaw a sex crime? If so, the same should apply to what happened to the Hulkster. As far as Lithose's position is concerned, there was indeed an overall media narrative at the time calling what happened to Lawrence as a 'hate crime'...

I'd play WoW, Archeage, GW2, or WildStar over ESO on PC.

Complains a poster is arguing semantics. Argues semantics. That's our Tanoomba!

Weird, it's just EA access? Some of my friends are under the distinct impression that certain sports titles are exclusive to Xbone. These people aren't gaming enthusiasts by a long shot. They only play whatever NFL/NHL/etc game is current and maybe COD or Mortal Kombat. I haven't cared about a...

Ya, Sony is really just trouncing MS so far this generation. I still wonder if down the line XBone will be the superior console choice due to superior functionality (game streaming, kinect integration, media functionality, etc). Either way, the second they show a decent exclusive (or my Roku3...

Is it something to do with sports games, too? Seems like everybody is under the impression XBONE is better for sports... is this true? Why?

Just FYI, Rocket League is the sleeper PS4 exclusive (edit: nvm, it's on PC too, just no XBONE). It's my favourite game on the system so far. It's free this month to PS+ subscribers, but it'll probably only be $20 or so next month. Also, is anyone else in the situation I'm in? The only person...

This game stands side by side with the big boys as one of PS4's best titles. Just awesome.
