The Society of Professional Journalism got a panel together to discuss the failures in covering Gamergate and other leaderless movements and how they can do better going forward. Guys I can tell all of you exactly why GG failed...you don't need the SPJ I won't be condescending but its a fair amount of writing so I wont post it unless someone specifically wants to know

Oh no young grasshopper ...you cant just drop a post like that without some explanation !!! What happened to the new life in Germany? Wait I can guess...you suddenly got to Germany and realized..." you don't understand a word of German? Its a perfectly normal mistake to make not realizing that German is different to ...Australian Its that or the fact you don't like Eisbein ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZO8YzUOMGA Guys if you want to laugh...I mean really laugh... but I mean REALLY laugh then you have to listen to this. I am about to finish GTAV and the radio stations are just genius. This clip is from one them, its called Blaine County Radio and is a parody of a pro- right wing Republican Southern radio talk show ...so it exaggerates the worst statements and sentiments that come from the far-right in the USA If you have time listen to the whole clip otherwise listen to the lady Bobby June from minute 33 ...you won't be disappointed...and remember its just parody so don't take it seriously

Part 1 & 2 are included together for backers who paid for that stretch goal. That is part of the reason I think the expansion is being called part 1 & 2 rather than simply expansion 1 and expansion 2. One expansion in two parts. Rosveen beat me and said it better and simpler. Nakia I have heard from several people that you are an extremely wealthy American....will you buy me both expansions in the interests of spreading that Capitalist revenue? I believe it will make you feel much better knowing you are helping those less fortunate and remember " in life its better to give than to receive " 1) Fact- We had a bad recession which hurt a lot of us here in the land never paved with streets f gold but it did have oportunity and the bankers, wall street people and politicians make use of that opportunity. 2) The people who told you I was a rich American were joshing you. 3) If I was an extremely rich person I would hire Obsidian to write a game for me. 4) Yes I am a very fortunate person but not in dollars or pesos or Euros, whatever. I have good friends, and at an age that would blow your mind if I told you so I won't I am in good health, happy almost content and grateful for having had a beautiful life with all its ups and down. Life is to be lived it is never long enough. Sorry Obsidian got all my spare change and some that wasn't so spare. Have a nice day. edit = Don't get me started on the USA economy or Cant will send to Off Off Topic and make mw type "I will not rant about the USA economy or politics in the PoE forums." One thousand times. You realize I was just joking I work for a global American software company and I travel to the USA at least 1-2 times a year so I'm well aware not all Americans are rich...I assumed you knew I was joking but it seems sometimes on these forums some people are unable to tell the difference when I joke and think I'm being serious and get offended ...and the people who I do like, like you, I don't want to get the wrong idea about me and think I was being rude or malicious

If you don't mind sharing how did he walk free? Seems like the evidence wasn't conclusive enough. Some things got screwed up in the photos that were taken when she went to the emergency room right after the rape occured, a mistake on the medical staff's part which is of course really sour. There was also something other thing. I wasn't able to be a the trial so I've just gotten messages from my girlfriend who was there. The woman's lawyer was quite surprised at the outcome though as it seemed to be a really strong case overall. In about a week's time, they're gonna decide if they want to take it to the "higher court" (not sure what the term is in english/american) and try there. I guess the worst thing is that just going through with the trial was an enormous and traumatic effort for the woman, and in the end it ended up being for nothing. Unless they take it further. We'll see I suppose. Yeah that makes sense, I think she is very brave. It is a very difficult thing both emotionally and mentally for any women to even go to court and follow the legal process and press charges I don't think it is something anyone can quite understand just how difficult it is unless you have personal experience.

Someone I know was raped just a few weeks ago...even went through having a rape kit done on them, which they said would be a slam dunk against the rapist. She refuses to go through with it, though, for reasons that are hard to accept for anyone besides actual victims. It's out of everyone's besides her hands, though. Like you, I'll also likely see them once in a while for reasons. :/ Its actually not hard to understand why many women don't follow through with wanting to charge there rapists and following the process like having a rape kit done

Dude I can recommend some classy adult entertainment websites if you looking for nudity ? Dude, I was like 6-8 when I played it Okay, I never realized you Czechs were so conservative ....my bad

This is a great game, but ....
BruceVC replied to Otis0310's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
By that logic, you might as well argue they wanted to do an MMORPG but couldn't because of money constraints. Seriously, the game got backed for the most part because people wanted it to turn out like it is now. Everything else is wishful thinking. But asking for Romance isn't wishful thinking right ? That would be more like ....common sense -

Doofus! lol For the record, I don't understand why the trivial amount (for most folks) that the xpac will cost is an issue. ...And if $30 at most is an issue for you, you have larger problems looming over you than the xpac for a computer game. :Cant's own huge grin icon: Yeah I agree, if you think about the amount of hours of entertainment you get from a game its well worth the investment I am about to finish GTAV and I have spent about 130 hours on this game....if you think about what my work charges out for me per hour as a software consultant which is about $150-200/hour I would say the $60 price is well worth it

Nah, GG thread is dead now so we need to find new places to discuss these matters

Good question, I don't think there is one definitive answer to what makes someone an alcoholic as it will vary from person to person I am a binge drinker for example so when I drink I tend to drink loads but I can easily go 2 weeks without a single drink But I suppose the best definition for an alcoholic is where you are sober and you really start to crave alcohol to the point where there is a physiological impact ..like your hand is shaking or you are irritated or uneasy until you have a drink. So in other words the lack of alcohol in your system has a noticeable effect on your thinking

You see Volo I don't want you to be manipulated by the developers of Hatred. They say " we are making a game that is not politically correct " and immediately some people will now buy it because they think its some sort of statement or protest against the perception of SJ influence in the gaming industry Yet the game is rubbish and it has nothing to do with being " politically correct " ....so well done for not falling for it

Just because that's the way I deal with approaching my mid-life crisis. Still, since I haven't actually posted in this thread in awhile, I suppose I should actually be somewhat serious. The cancer and continuing medical conditions finally hit their peak last week and my mother passed on in that grand journey. So it's been the running day by day juggling things with my father and sister to get everything sorted. Funeral plans and all the rest of that needed legal issues that result from bereavement. Now after having spent the last fifteen years as her carer, and having had that as a central piece of my life I have to re-figure who I am without that and where I'm going from here. I'm sorry Raithe, I want to say your commitment and diligence to your moms health has been nothing but impressive. I won't profess to know the details of your family structure but I don't think a son could do more for his family than you have done and I'm sure your mom was very grateful for everything you did especially in her final days
-
No Volo I don't believe you ....I think you desperately wanted this game to succeed but when reasonable people like me commented on it and passed our much respected SJW judgement on it you didn't like it....now the game is a epic fail like predicted ...SJW WIN !!!! " anyone who doesn't embrace hardcore violence and nudity as an SJW " You funny Hurlshot especially when you not trying to be funny and are making a good point

Thats just ...just .....wrong....but funny...very funny

How cool is this but I have just noticed that the DSTV subscription I have is offering a dedicated Stars Wars channel in anticipation of the launch of the new movie. So all 6 previous movies will be shown plus any Stars Wars related interviews, cartoons and documentaries. It starts on the 31 August http://www.dstv.com/en-ng/news/star-wars-movies-channel-20150810 Now that's commitment to the franchise

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/12/world/middleeast/head-of-group-opposing-iran-accord-quits-post-saying-he-backs-deal.html?_r=0 This is a very significant development for those like me who support the Iran nuclear deal, Gary Samore was one of the original founders of United Against Nuclear Iran which is a prominent bipartisan group based in the USA that is opposed to the current deal. He adds credibility to the overall agreed negotiations as he now supports the direction Obama has gone.

What Mods are you using? I am interested when I start playing DA:I

Oh my hat, that must be the most annoying thing to happen when playing a game. I dont think I could start a game again under those circumstances as I would be too frustrated. Why don't you go to BSN and see if this is a known issue...hopefully someone has a solution?
