  1. Well, seems like the Guardian is now part of the axis of evil http://theralphretort.com/internal-email-shows-guardian-mind-made-gamergate/
  2. Hard to argue when you start rambling hyperbole, reminds me of playing chess with pigeons.
  3. So you're not defending the same game journalists that are merely spokespersons for publishers? Or are you blissfully oblivious to that fact?
  4. The status quo is not apolitical, nor is "not evangelizing." I.e., that was the eternal cry of the hegemonic group having hegemony challenged. Mm, the smell of Molotov ****tails in the morning... "Hegemony" Says, the guy defending the corporate sock-puppets.
  5. Also, did you see how he put a gun to that woman's mouth before blowing her head? Clearly a misogynist.
  6. There are the matters of Game Journalist doxxing, harassing, and deliberately targeting developers as well. But there is a fundamental difference between feminists and other political groups, these feminist in particular feel the need to evangelize. Other kind of reviewers hold back on the political stuff, leaving just a comment instead of making it the center of their review.
  7. It also looks like it was made with one of those fancy schmancy Crayola Crayon boxes that has 48 crayon colors instead of 16. Actually it was done on the Unreal Engine. I know this because me and some classmates saw it featured on the UDN website, for reasons that we assumed were political (game was being publicized as having been developed by women) rather than because it does a good job of showcasing the engine (it looks like crap)
  8. Not necessarily, sometimes there is great talent on a development team that can manage the level of quality required for a cinematic model. Mostly within cinematic games, so in this case you might be right.
  9. Cute how the lady barely gives a **** about her (presumably) husband being left behind. I thought it was her dad. Also, they launched off in **** shaped rockets. Misogyny! I watched that trailer muted, while listening to the ISIS song. Laughs were had.
  10. I suppose one could argue that even if Mr. Grayson did not favorably write about his paramour's game, he could be influencing how others at the publication he writes for review the game in question. Could be considered a bit of a stretch, but it isn't something that is particularly hard to address. This all goes back to that stuff TN posted a while back, if gaming journalists adopted a standard of ethics and adhered to them they've taken away the raison d'être GamerGate has for existing. Refusal to do so is just going to cause GG to grow and grow, as it looks increasingly like they don't want to address any concerns of corruption and have descended into mud-flinging instead. No, he didn't review her game, that's the story they're sticking with. But Depression Quest and Rebel Jam were publicized by Grayson. I wish they would talk about the IGF more, that was truly a disgusting thing to learn.
  11. Must be pretty good if they still gave it a 7.5 despite the horrible horrible misogyny of depicting a strong, confident, capable, albeit hyper sexualized, female protagonist. Do you think the introduces himself: "Hi, I'm Arthur Gries and I hate my ****"
  12. Fast travel is unlikely because the game is a race against time first and foremost. "It's a game where you can’t save everyone." But faster run speed is possible because they're going to expand the game world and add things they planned for the original but couldn't do back then. **** that, if they're expanding they better get me a horse
  13. Any word if they are planning to add fast travel, or at least make the running speed faster. Cuz I spent most of that game going from place to place only to try and find what would make the story advance.
  14. Except that in DA2 that would happen after a timeskip.
  15. I am, apparently someone is arranging for people to show support by buying her game. So now here's what I'm going to do make a ****ty text based game (since it would be fast) say that i've been doxxed ???? Profit
  16. I'm going to abstain until there's proof that was 8chan. Also, Brianna Who? What would make this relatively unknown person become the target of GG? I can understand if they go after ZQ or Phil Fish but I don't know her from Adam. But after a quick google search I remembered her Game "Revolution 60" it was the most atrocious PoS that ever graced the featured list on UDK website. One figures that it was mostly due to the same reason that it was financed. Their selling point was "developed by women". Edit: Ok, after a quick look at 8chan I saw that it was indeed true as the moderator had linked to a tweet where he/she acknowledged that the info had been taken down. Although the threats made to her seem to be your usual garden variety internet ****. I don't see why she felt so threatened.
  17. I bet he's not even really Irish. They retrconed him in DA2 and again in DA:I I just don't understand his significant in Dragon Age series at all....seeing him in DA2 is bad enough and they keep him for DA:I...i just don't understand His fan thread is over 3000 pages big. For some reason which eludes me he is extremely popular among the female fans- I will now share with you the most important secret; the way to a woman's heart: "Say as little as possible and let her think as much" A woman will be okay romancing a wet cloth on a stick if she think there's some depth to it. Like if you tell her that the wet cloth has feelings that it doesn't let show because it has been hurt by past relationships. They should be more like men; we would romance a wet cloth if it had a nice pair.
  18. Stylized is always more lasting than realistic. DA seems to have found an uncomfortable medium point that makes me think of uncanny valley. Elves still look atrocious though, a few fangs ,grey skin and fins and you have shark people.
  19. The idea of playing any Bioware game without following a Romance arc just feels weird and incongruous to me Best way to do speedruns of BW games.
  20. That never seems to have bothered feminists about feminism.
