  1. He's using logic, get him!
  2. The leaks, if not the underlying hack, have reportedly been traced to the network of a fancy hotel in Bangkok. It's a weird sort of mentality all over the web these days that first suspects some kind of false-flag attack for, well, everything. I suspect it originates from the 'chan universe (where such suspicions are usually quite justified), but it is very rarely justified elsewhere. Bangkok, that's in N.K. right? America to the rescue....some days I wonder if WWIV will be started by the American's complete lack of geographical knowledge.
  3. So that's what sheep look like to the Welsh.
  4. I'm I the only person that liked Team America?
  5. I'm I the only one that thinks that this moralist frenzy is due to people thinking that games that run opposite their belief systems are fun? You know, just like every moralist turns out to be a big hypocrite?
  6. That's a commendable attitude. Everybody's a feminist who says they are. (Consequently, 90% of feminism is utter rubbish, because people in general are pretty dumb, and the sole criterion (is this the singular of criteria?) of "apply label to yourself" doesn't exactly ensure that the intelligence distribution will be skewed towards the higher echelons in the subpopulation.) But unless you can tell us how exactly she lectured you on privilege, this anecdote remains quite useless. "Gender is a bigger influence on GPA than test scores" was her argument, her method of doing so was lecturing me verbally after I made an off-hand remark that perhaps if she did better on tests her GPA would be higher than 2.63. Considering that the scandals that I've heard about the influence of feminism in education i'm inclined to agree with her. Gender is a bigger influence on GPA; if you are male then teachers have to grade you lower to account for your privilege.
  7. Actually its not, there are many cases of women being involved on various levels historically in military conflicts. But there contribution was and is overlooked by narrators and some historians Sounds interesting, care to provide links? Because for the most part I'm certain that in trained forces women were kept out, irregular armies and special corps might be a different story. They're too busy inventing COBOL to fight, obviously. Well if you believe SJWs, tech is a hostile environment to women.

  9. During Disney's time the Jewish were rising to control the film industry, which now is a fact. One of Disney's workers was Jewish, they had a strained relationship of firings and hiring, the man's comment on Disney's antisemitism was that it was directed at the corporate body of Hollywood not necessarily at Jews in general. We all hate our publishers. Now if you want to talk about the legal shenanigans by which he founded Disney World, which set the precedent for all the corporate monstrosities that we have today I'll agree. But I digress
  10. It is hard to keep people engaged in things that are not action packed, I think that the indies are the ones that have embraced the genre in a way that isn't violent.
  11. I think that cinematic games are a ridiculous notion, they are as bad as narrative movies except nobody thinks the latter is a good idea. It is not using the medium to its full potential; I'm okay with games that focus on narrative but gameplay should be a feature that enhances that not a problem to be solved.
  12. So more cinematic bull****, now coming to you via your Occulus...a game by James Cameron sounds nice though.
  13. I hope you're not seriously comparing a Bioware romance scene to youporn Yes I am. Both are porn, one just happens to be animated and have "emotional stimulation" while the other is a porn database with many different types of porn. If you have a problem with pornographic material that caters to men, certainly a game where a player can have sex(via avatar) with a female character by selecting the heart option and buying her stuff is problematic as well, at least as much as getting health by paying for sex at any rate. Well, Porn is short for Pornography which literary means pictures of prostitutes; so Porn isn't actually porn. Still with the way that BW pimps out their characters to generate hype you have to wonder...
  14. The written word has endured as a medium for centuries, is a bit shortsighted to think that games will shuffle that to the side. I agree that most Sci Fi is trite but when you get the good stuff you realize why it has to be on book form. I don't think Slaughterhouse Five made a good movie and it wouldn't make a good game but it is a terrific book.
  15. Ah! In that case, we should maybe open a different topic for discussing general publisher unpleasantness? I'm genuinely interested in the experiences you spoke of earlier. In all fairness, though, I felt physically ill watching the gameplay trailer about gunning down unarmed civilians desperately begging for their life, and wouldn't really fault anyone for assuming a game with the slogan "My Genocide Crusade Begins Here" was developed by neo-nazis. I'm not one for censorship (letting the scum of the earth freely speak their minds offers an easier opportunity to keep an eye on them, after all), but I wouldn't really think anything of value would be lost by taking it down. (Then again, why take it down when it can be left to fail on its own merits - or rather, lack thereof?) Is the slippery slope argument, if they are not allowed to speak because it bothers us then will be allowed to speak when it bothers someone?
  16. If it held for a month then it has done it's job.Publishers care most for the early impulse purchases. That's just the thing, their sales didn't went over their projections but don't tell publishers that all the money they have sunk into DRM has been for nothing. They need an excuse for when their stagnated, boring, unimaginative product doesn't sell.
  17. We should throw a vague threat like "or that thing we know goes public". Seriously though, I'm not hoping for Obama to do the right thing and I'm not going to break my winning streak.
  18. I'm not going to insult you for being American-centric, I'm going to insult you for feeding a country with massive obesity problems. Stop enabling them!
  19. Yes the internet has been roaring about it since yesterday. I just say that we skip the preamble and just topple our government, them ****ers have been getting on my nerves lately.
  20. I'm really hoping that GG will become a launch platform to get moderate voices into every aspect of society. Because more and more i'm seeing loud extremists everywhere and I blame the Internet and the culture that it created. Edit:Speaking of which http://www.deathmetal.org/article/metalgate/
  21. Are you writing fanfiction based on the women on this thread?
  22. With a summon drone spell.
  23. Yes, and there has been a response by the GG to coordinate in order to end harassment by reporting. There is the fact that they way that you hear it from most media it is just the Pro side doing the harassment and evidence of harassment committed by key figures within the Anti side gets ignored. This one side reporting is just more proof of the corruption of media and their narrative abuses, it is akin to war where each side promotes their own accomplishments while sweeping under the rug its atrocities. It is indicative of the stance from most media that they are either to incompetent to research their info or to entrenched in ideology to accept the facts. Both things are problematic and are the major elements that led to this revolt.
  24. I don't think this is as big a blow to Wu's image as Revolution 60
  25. This rain better not disappoint or my cover/reworking of The Dead Kennedys will be for nothing. I call it "California unter Alles."
