Word, good point.

Your argument hinges on the idea that video games that are made to include black others in (etc) will be worse for it. I haven't seen any evidence of this. DA: Inquisition was awesome.

Meh. People get angry, and angry people get silly. I don't think getting angry over a self proclaimed media critic making unsubstantiated claims about one's hobby is an unexpected or unreasonable response. It's certainly nothing to wring hands over. It's not like rerolled posters are sending her...

Had a fucking blast with my brother and some people in Cyrodil last night. If you own a PS4 and this game let me know. Need more bros to stomp plebs with.

There is no problem. We're having discussion in an enclosed community which is an objectively harmless activity.

I have a feeling that marijuana is going to be essential for enjoying this title.

Wow. I'm livid that fucking goof got to play No Man's Sky. Hand the controller to someone who can actually play games ffs. That looked like it was his first time in an open world first person environment. They couldn't have made that more boring if they tried.

Pantheon: Rise of the Dank Rerolled Memes Seriously though... I'm looking forward to whatever these guys produce. I love MMORPGs. They're pretty much my favourite form of entertainment. When I look back at the most memorable ones, McQuaid has been a highly influential contributor to 2 of...

Didn't fall asleep this time, but was paying more attention to refreshing rerolled than the actual show by the end of it. The supernatural theme of S1 and the relationship between Marty and Rust kept me far more engaged than this season.

The entirety of Frank's character is a 'bad act'. If you didn't get that after the first couple episodes, well, I don't know what to tell you. That doesn't mean Vaughn isn't still a fucking terrible actor, though. I get what they were going for, but the role was miscast.

One thing I will say about this season is that it is an absolute masterpiece of interpersonal tension. I'm really enjoying the characterization of Frank, and how they are playing games with the viewer's expectations of what a 'gangster' is supposed to be. The scene where he's with his wife in...

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.
