Wait. How is my free speech not like yours? In fact i can say what the **** i want, about what the **** i want without less restritcitons than you do, without fearing a goverment agent knocking on my door. I can tell a police officer to **** off with out getting arrested. ****, you are living in a police state that can bring you into prison without much of an offense. I think you are being ironic but i can´t tell, because your link is useless and doesn´t prove anything. :> Really? Here in the Netherlands, it's a crime to insult public servants like police officers. I'm also not allowed to publish anything insulting regarding the royal monarchs.

But thats normal. Magazines and press have being doing this for decades. Giving good reviews for publishers in response getting first looks to drive their sales. **** that was the reason why i stoped buying magazine over a decade ago...their online portales are just the same now. I don't think status quo neccesarily equals desired or even acceptable behaviour.

The court of public opinion is not the same as a court of law. One of the reasons for a court is to strip away the emotions and examine the facts. Fair enough, I need to give you a valid analogy ....okay let me think about it. The problem being Cosby hasn't been charged yet Here is a good read that may change your mind http://edition.cnn.com/2015/07/08/us/bill-cosby-sexual-assault-allegations/index.html I'm not saying Cosby has my full support or anything. I just find it weird that you try so hard to justify the fact that you condemned the man far before this information came to light. Even now, your suspicions are at most "likely correct", but then your suspicions were based on nothing. My point is whether or not we decide someone is scum is irrelevant, what matters is what the courts say and the court of public opinion is at odds with that most of the time. Here's something that you might want to think about: http://www.cracked.com/article/96_7-beloved-celebrities-awful-****-you-forgot-they-did/

Well yes, they got "busted". That implies either being caught in the act or a presence of overwhelming evidence. They still deserve fair trial and if such evidence is lacking, they deserve the benefit of the doubt. But if it's just vague allegations against a celebrity that could just as easily be for an out-of-court-settlement payday and to see their lives ruined by the court of public opinion by default before any real evidence is found? Michael Jackson spins around in his grave so fast he's drilling through to China. It's hard to take "allegations" seriously by default in a world where the "Cheeseburger Bill" has to exist and I treat anything I only hear about in the media as allegations with a grain of salt and you should too.

What a strange comparison? First of all, there is a big difference between war and civilized court. But even then, after the war is over we damn sure want to take them to court for trial rather than just decide they're guilty and be judge, jury and executioner. It's why the international court of justice in The Hague and the Geneva Convention even exist.

The video also touches on enthousiast games press (i.e. YouTube reviewers) vs traditional games press for a bit, as he accuses traditional games press of pandering to large publishers by giving their games-for-babies high marks, which is why I assume it got posted as "relevant" and why I didn't split it off into a seperate discussion. Yet.

No, by all means continue neglecting it.

To be honest, I prefer his Let's Play channel to his reviews (because he essentially hates everything, he's like Yahtzee without the funny snark). His Outlast playthrough is hilarious and also about 3 times longer than it needs to be because he's constantly hiding in dark corners.

That's weird, I thought people here would love Mack because he talks exactly like all of you guys do. EDIT: Well that was a lot less funny when my smug looking smiley hotlink didn't work. EDIT EDIT: This Mack video demonstrates his problems more clearly, around the 5:30 mark he literally does a demonstration of why he hates AAA Combat. The problem is that he's essentially done this particular argument twenty times this year so he's just pissed. He's complained a lot that AAA titles have taken all the fun out of being a reviewer. https://youtu.be/j30PKp_Wub0?t=328

That moment you find out your school system is missing half a years worth of credits from more than 3 years ago but you totally still have legitimate proof of all missing points corroberated by professors. :D

Going back to finish a degree sucks. You're not supposed to get homework as an adult. Thankfully I'm inches away from starting my thesis and exam project. Hopefully won't last longer than a few months.

That's just a crappy photoshop. On the other hand, Captain Britain is a true comic character.

I own one of those portable AC's, about the size of a trashcan with a hose attached that I hang out the window. It gets the temperature about 3 degrees lower at most.

The American flag is a modern representation of the extermination of native Americans. /troll

Steam usually doesn't act fast. I'd say this is more a response to the last Assassin's Creed.

It's a subreddit that has become a popular platform for famous or interesting people to let themselves "be interviewed" by the social media public. Most gaming kickstarters I followed have held an "Ask Me Anything" session there, for example. As have many celebrity and political figures, including the president. Yeah, I knew what an Ask Me Anything session was, I just didn't know it was specifically a Reddit thing and I didn't know the AMA in r/iAMA stood for that.

Not that random, many people have pointed out how weird it is that all the cool dinosaur moments use new music (credit due: said music is quite good, it's just not John Williams) and the iconic original music is used mostly for views of... buildings. I think the thought behind it was to give views of the actual "park" the nostalgic Jurassic Park feeling, to give people the idea that after so many years they finally get to visit it themselves. It worked a little bit, but I would have preferred it if during the climax or even the final shot it would have gotten a reprise.

Really? I had no idea so many people used Reddit. "Two of the site’s most popular posts ever are AMAs: the one with Barack Obama and a conversation with a man with two penises. The AMA subreddit became such a popular section of the site that Reddit eventually spun it out into its own app." ... What a strange selection.

As somebody who does not visit Reddit, I have no idea what most of that means. Who is Victoria? What's r/IAMA? Why is the support almost entirely centralized to specific people? Why does anyone go to Reddit in the first place?

Agreed. One of the reasons GamerGate lasted so long is the people who were pissed about Grayson were lumped in with the people who were pissed about (and harassing) Quinn. The whole thing with Quinn was an awful clusterhump of internet hate and anyone who participated in that was well below human dignity. But game sites used that as an excuse to pretend Grayson did nothing wrong and anyone who pretended otherwise was supposedly just part of the harassment campaign against Quinn. Instead of acknowledging the people with a legit concern over breach of trust, they insulted them and decided to turn that breach of trust in a whole canyon, that distrust turning into a crusade. I essentially think this thing would have been over and done with in less than a month if Gawker had acted with a micrograin of dignity.

I believe it's recently been established that all that fancy drone technology is going out the window the second a real war starts. They can't search caves and they're hackable. What we really need... is raptors.

Author service. Malcolm serves as Crichton's mouthpiece as well as a reference to Sherlock Holmes' unexplained return. I'm told he even has the same line, something like "reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated".

Good lord is there a giant [citation needed] hanging over that one. The people who can't deal with it are the problem, not the people who do it.

Men can have many different types of packages. Some have evolved feathers for insulation, like the dinosaurs.
