What are you playing now?
Will see. In any case it was about 10€ and I don't have much of a choice anyway, as it's the only more or less modern console system that I own (that GameCube is a bit old by now). /Edit: Did a fast sweep over Google and it seems most issues have been patched. Well, yay for patches. Let's hope this is true, though.

What are you playing now?
Finished DS2 Crown of the Sunken King. Skipped only one boss fight... the one with the 3 dudes. It's just too hard if you can only rely on stupid ai phantoms. It's not about skill anymore, just pure luck. And it seems to be impossible to find human players in that DLC area (guess it is the least liked of the three?) to help me out in that area. Anyway, started Crown of the Iron King now, let's see how that turns out. So far at least I've found some human players in it... On the other side, I've ordered me a copy of Bayonetta for PS3 now, because Keyrock hyped me...

Finished the Darkest of all Souls 2. Endboss actually was not that hard. Then again, I grinded the game like a mofo and ended with level 162... Bought the three DLCs now. Also toyed with the idea of starting a newgame+ ... Probably wouldn't finish the game a second time, though. There are some areas in the game where I really never want to force me through ever again...

Journalism and sexism in the games industry
No, this is not what I meaned. It's obvious that maybe somehow the depression will limit the stuff you do on a daily basis. What I meaned is that the text adventure itself takes over at some point- it robbs the player of all choices and actions. I am not 100% sure right now when exactly this happens, but at some point you just read and press a "continue"-like button to advance until you hit the suicide point (I think it was like that when I tried it back in the days). At this point it is not a game anymore and it's not a good text adventure. Imagine you are playing Metal Gear Solid 4 and then suddenly you watch a 1 hour long briefing cutscene, play for 20 minutes and then a 3 hours long endgame cutscene appears. It's not fun, and IMO it's bad game design.

Journalism and sexism in the games industry
Cool how you remove everything else from the quote and only point to the end of my post. About Depression Quest, I played it before I even heard the name Zoe Quinn, and while it felt interesting in the beginning, it quickly became more and more bad. You were pretty much railroaded into everything and later you had no choices at all. Also the choices you had in this text adventure felt rather narrow / poor / too simple. I am certain this stuff could have been conveyed much better or in more depth. In the end, this stuff just proves to me that these very loudly speaking feminist game developers (exception is probably Zoe Quinn, because I haven't heard anything about her anymore since a while now) really never did much valuable to the gaming scene at all. If we could get some women folks, who worked on and released more than just one tiny game in their lifes, to speak out about this issue, yeah... that would be great. PS: I am not pro or anti GG. I only care about this stuff from a generic / outside point of view.

Might not be a shooting with guns, but in 2009 there was a girl with 10 molotow cokctails in Bonn: http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/vereitelter-amoklauf-von-schuelerin-frauen-koennen-auch-aggressiv-sein-a-624246.html She got stopped by another girl who accidentally ran into her in the ladies restroom. The surprised girl then attacked her with a knife and cut off a thumb while doing so (doc was able to reattach it, luckily). But wait, this probably was a boy who pretended to be a girl. Can't be anything else, no? Or it doesn't count because the worst was prevented? Anita Sarkeesian is a horrible person.

What a douchebag. I feel the mood to argue why his stance on bullying is stupid, but then again, people like him wouldn't care anyway. That surely is some strange timing. :>

Teachers having sex with students
In other news... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/21/megan-mahoney-teacher-sex_n_6022546.html Damn, seriously. Don't know what to write other than that she is kinda hot and I'd totally let her sexually abuse me. Especially back when I was age 16. It would have been like the holy grail or something. Especially because when I was in school, our teachers had been like 100 years old.

Drama and games journalism, soggy leg joint edition
Problem is, there aren't many prominent looking people in the GG movement who talk shait all day. So it's not that easy to find some individual to attack, who is not just a random no-name internet person... While it is much easier to find high profile anti-GG targets. I still think that this is just a stupid flamewar between people who like to get upset all day. Else it would have died down already.

Oh my god, there will be even more Supernatural? Please god, if you exist then let this tv show finally die. It has become so, so bad.

9/11, that schoolday here in germany. The teachers were all like "omygod now there will be a new world war! This is madness!" but from us schoolkids nobody really felt influenced by it at all. I remember we had one minute of silence and stuff like that, but next day everything was back to normal for us. Then a bit later we had a class trip to england, where some classmates canned it, because their parents said it is too dangerous, because of terror attacks and stuff. Well, turns out nothing happened to us in england other than me being very hungry in the end, because I wasn't too much a fan of the food there. :>

If you expect it to be a JA1 remake more than a JA2 remake, then it probably won't be that bad.

Real Hoverboard Kickstarter
Well, if it requires a special floor (some magnetic stuff?) then it's not so cool anymore.
