Anita Sarkeesian/Tropes and Women in Gaming
Hard to communicate a lot in as short a time frame as a TV spot.

Anita Sarkeesian/Tropes and Women in Gaming
I imagine at some level she thinks she is trying to do that by encouraging the disuse of the tropes or something from her elevated profile (mainly from people writing nasty text about her online). Handcuffs writers a lot though I'd imagine if applied totally.

So anyone actually see anything concrete resulting from all of this or is this just SJW fodder ?

Hopefully not where he compares it to a first year course, because if so...man...he went to a crappy school

What you did today
Learned that saying "Told you to not get married" isn't the most tactful thing to say to someone going through a divorce, but couldn't stand any more whining from my cousin. Almost beat this cold, too, so that's good.

I imagine the reaction is probably due to her criticizing video games and these people see it as an attack on a hobby they like. Well at least some, maybe the rest is just dog piling and her reaction to that just feeds more. Other than that I can't see anyone mustering up more than a shrug about this.

I guess this is one of those 'spiritual successor' thingies.

The Falklands Referendum
Or it's part of some broader strategy they're trying with South America or Argentina and don't mind hurting the precious UK's feelings.

The Falklands Referendum
Well maybe the British will get a glorious war out of this eventually.

Sarkessian's video made me wonder what's everyone in a huff about, wasn't much in the way of anything I haven't heard before and the presentation itself was rather dull. Heh, I wonder if she'll ever look at The Witcher - should be an amusing video.

The Belial fight in SC2 was pretty funny, less of a pain than it was in D3. Seems like they did a retcon on the Zerg origin, though, but I guess they have to give the Horde treatment (non-evil race corrupted by the Big Bad, now redeeemd). Kerrigan's interactions being "I don't like killing" or "OBEY ME!" is a bit worn. Abathur is kind of funny in the moments when he wants to analyze Kerrigan.

Think you'd need to play Witcher 2 for most of the above to work, other than the side quests I suppose - does make sense for a Witcher to do a job to kill X of Y monsters for money, but second game has some more interesting ones. Combat isn't going to change much as you go on, the group styles get more intricate I suppose and you do become a wrecking machine naturally at the end. Does remind me I should play DA2 sometime though. Rome or nothing!

-20 C is extreme cold ? You can still go out and do stuff, just get a decent coat. We don't get very harsh winters here, I think -8 C or so would be a good temperature to see it as being in winter in your mind's eye. Yet people prance about in these $800 down coats meant for far colder weather (well, I think they are, anyway) It does make getting out bed difficult when you hear it's -30 C with wind out though.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS!

Well in terms of blowing stuff up, NATO's good at that but just thinking of the aftermath in the country when the various rebels take over in this scenario. I guess Assad wishes he had put down the rebellion in a lighter fashion now. - What you did today
