  1. https://archive.today/CeWxy RPS with a predictable response. I do love articles that have an author written Q&A in them, heh.
  2. Does this really matter that much though, in terms of how this started. Clearly is a PR war and was so from the start. Quinn is an irrelevance now it seems. Also what are we complicit in ?
  3. What took her so long? Once again its the victims fault right Sarex? Eh ? How on earth did you get that ? It is weird to have evidence for three weeks and just sit on it TW : Conspiracies https://storify.com/strictmachine/gameovergate
  4. So apparently Quinn has posted logs that this is all a 4chan conspiracy. Which I suppose changes stuff.
  5. Hm, how to work 40k into this current situation..
  6. Well, supposedly chased out anyway. "Exclusively", I dunno - Fish got chased out and this kind of abuse seems to be commonplace for anyone of any note on Twitter (it's the new Usenet!). It's funny to me, this whole drama - Cheong's the best so far.
  7. Ah, 'helicopters' in GTA4, say no more. I play on PC and those are just awkward as hell to use
  8. Which mission ? Also L2P Scrub. Right now powering Arminia Bielefeld through the Euro Cup. Rather amusing as the game refuses to recognize that my team exists in the voiceovers about the standings (name is a hint). Also the AI's BS cheating makes me think the game was just modified off of NHL 2014.
  9. Obviously this is a trap
  10. Ironic to bring up the Mail given your outrage over so many things. I forget though, why do we care why Bester or anyone wants to look at Kate Upton's rack ?
  11. Tend to ignore anything from Kotaku, so will have to read that. Plenty of articles out there with that hand wavey tone though but I am rather skeptical of what explanation and solution they could come up with. They certainly want to talk about people full of hate on one side in a lot they have read (well or a subset of or a perception of one side, at any rate). Amusing true, just as the other side is fine with their behaviour as well - and not everyone angry at gaming 'press' is a 'neckbeard' necessarily. It's enjoyable watching them all hack at each other, SJWs doxxing people, MRA types being outraged at generalizations. Sadly the outcome will probably be in not much getting destroyed. Maybe Fish will go full on insane and run around Montreal in his underwear screaming or something.
  12. Just how I see it defined, you're forcing a loss of something. You could say you do lose your identity though, at least in terms of the entries in databases which the system has to treat as truth. Ah well, much ado about nothing.
  13. SQL Triggers are dangerous, and should come with warnings. A relatively new concept to me, only noticed it maybe 18 months ago, stupid Reddit. It is a bit weird to see it in some cases, so mocking it's overuse is fine. I guess those jokes were a trigger for you ?
  14. http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2014/09/gamergate_explodes_gaming_journalists_declare_the_gamers_are_over_but_they.html
  15. Well you (whoever the 'we' is) can call it whatever you like, doesn't really make it fit. Invasion of privacy would be best, privacy is still invaded and abused when the photos are shared. I suppose it is piracy as well, as they are distributing content without the owner's permission.
  16. Well it doesn't make much sense to call it theft to me, the items are still in the people's possession (well, assuming the cloud service didn't retain it against their wishes). Identity theft might make sense, at a point your identity no longer belongs to you as the criminal's messing around with things
  17. Stealing digital things ? Nah. Definitely is an invasion of their privacy, people went nosing about where they shouldn't
  18. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=882344 has a pretty good take on it
  19. By consider, you really mean "just agree with them", don't you ? While hacking is wrong, it somewhat trivializes people who are the victims of sexual abuse to compare this to it.
  20. Well, think about that, they are still slurring a large swath of people - the 'hardcore' as they define, which used to be the largest group and probably still is a big group - as Bad Men as it suits them. Hardly a good step off, and generally enthusiast excuses for press snarking at their audience is a poor approach. On the Twitter front, some lady named Jenn Frank got "chased out" by trolls or something, Burch and Walker so far are in a tizzy. This is getting funnier by the day
  21. What is wrong with elitism anyway (one of the charges these enlightened 'journalists' are making)? This whole "games must be for everyone" approach is why I can't get a decent Rainbow Six game ever again
  22. Go go Canadian journalism. F**king Rogers, CityTV was crap but never this crap.
