Why would you go to war with them dude, they seem to be doing a pretty good job of going to war with themselves. Being Queen of Victimtown is srs bsns. "To be united by hatred is a...fragile alliance at best."

You don't understand, he's also French. Weep with him brethren, cry bitter salt tears and rend thy clothes. Edit: I'm awful, sorry.

Well I can confidently state that I avoid talking to anyone of the female gender whilst walking the byways and highways of England, just today I briskly strode past a woman who was asking for my attention, quickly leaped into and started the car and drove away. When Mrs Nonek finally got home she was quite upset about my ignoring of her, we can't win!

You unlock this door with the key of a weak imagination, beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of much sound, a dimension of short sightedness, a dimension of a weak mind. You're moving into a land both shallow and substanceless, of things that have no idea. You've just crossed over into the McIntosh Zone.

I agree with most of your points but have to say that some of the aforementioned demonisation and dehumanisation is fairly much unfixable, the shows of utter contempt and hatred cannot really be forgotten, especially when they're directed at ones audience whom have in reality given the publications existence in the first place. For such people as Ms Alexander and Mr Biddle, I can't see any improvement in the toxic atmosphere of game journalism without their removal.

Personally I think Mr Biscuit let the gentleman off very lightly on the subject of ethics, Mr Totilo talked a good game, but both of the reporters mentioned only declared their conflcits of interest after the fact. This is clearly a breach of ethics and any good editor should see it as his duty to judge such knowing omissions in a draconian manner, whereas Mr Totilo is content to do nothing at all, not even have the reporters who he admits breached ethics, issue an apology. All together I found that interview was a classic demonstration of double talk and evasion, where the editor gives his reporters carte blanche to even sleep with their subject matter, but not be judged impartial or tainted at all. A journalist of course can have friends, but they must not include anyone in his professional sphere, ones private life must be seperated, this is not difficult or unknown.

I admit I have a certain relish when eating duck.

Nothing like dimestore psychology to fit in well on Twitter. " but Gamergate is looking more and more like the only sensible alternative " Imagine a world where that was actually true... a world where GG was the only voice that mattered around the gaming industry. Can you think of any worse future for the gaming industry ? Yes, a myriad under the control of SJF's and mentally compromised individuals like this Mr McIntosh gentleman. Whereas Gamergate asks for devs to do what they do in an unrestricted fashion, and continue improving games rather than asking for them to regress to automated slideshows.

Thank you, i've been trying to remember what this game was called for awhile, and was always mixing it up with Soma for some reason.

Nothing like dimestore psychology to fit in well on Twitter. A dime? I'd ask for at least ninepence back! But seriously this is the idiotic criticism that we're supposed to just accept without any reservations and not call out on its inherent stupidity? I'm sorry but this is regressive and degenerative critique, games would be reduced to slideshows if left in the hands of such people, with preaching orchestrated by his evil partner whom has now shown her true colours as an utterly amoral individual, willing to even use childrens deaths to spread her moronic platform. I'm sorry but Gamergate is looking more and more like the only sensible alternative, the SJF's are seemingly imploding from the weight of their own feeblemindedness. Edit: One has to wonder why this Mr McIntosh's carer allows him access to the internet?

I take it out at the weekend.

If this is real then I am sickened and disgusted, to be using a tragedy to promote your own hate mongering and political dabbling, there are no words for such behaviour but pure amoral evil. Sickening.

CDPR does My Little Pony?

Not as artistically striking as Letho's introductory video, but a good introduction for Yen and Geralt's tracking of her I suppose. Is the chap she bumps into one of the Nilfgaardians from the Killing Monsters trailer?

What are feelings?

Nonek you do realize that game is misogynistic, my advice is stop playing it immediately...delete it from your PC and never ever mention you enjoyed playing it !!! I shall certainly give your advice all the weight that I usually do Bruce.

I don't think you understand what sexism is. Sexism is, for example, the fact every female humanoid in the first Witcher game who the developers bothered to give a name was either (1) somebody the player-surrogate could have sex with, (2) represented by the "hunchbacked old crone" character model, or (3) the madam of a brothel. There were many women around in the gameworld, going about their business, utterly unconcerned by Geralt or his affairs who would hardly talk with him. I wouldn't call that particularly sexist. Geralts life being saved by a woman repeatedly, his role as her tool in the battle she wages against Salamandra, his manipulation by her and his fragmentary rememberance of Yennefer. Triss was a far more effective character than Geralt, not to mention young Adda, whom was orchestrating a coup d'etat in a sexist medieval world. I mean it's not like the game had us slaughtering masses of women again and again, like most games do with men, thoughtlessly having us slaughter thousands in graphic detail. As gaming has done since its inception. Still I wouldn't play at being a professional victim based on this, the developers aren't intentionally demeaning men or being sexist, they're just making good, fun games. Edit: Oh sorry sexism is prejudice, stereotyping or discrimination, such as evidenced against men since the dawn of gaming. 2nd Edit: In point of fact I think one could argue both in the games and the books that though set in a sexist medieval world, the strong, independent, motivated and clever women of the Witchers world clearly demonstrate how ridiculous that sexism is. Characters such as Triss, Yennnefer, Philippa Eilhart and others serve as a subtle play against the mores of the world. Obviously this is not the clumsy, blatant preaching and moralising that many people prefer, but as a nuanced jab at the worlds status quo I find it quite nice and rather effective. After all Ciri is far more important to multiple worlds than Geralt.

Really enjoying the last chapter of the Punisher, the plot has come together in a very satisfying manner, the violence is still highly entertaining and I have to say Mr Thomas Jane as the Punisher really delivers. His voice acting is superb, in fact i'd rate it above his televised acting performances. The gentleman really does bring his A game to the audio booth. Highly enjoyable.

I think it's undeniable that some games are unintentionally sexist, men are summarily used as fodder, their lives thrown away by the handful, with no consequence, they are frequently villified, slaughtered and portrayed as existing without any positive virtues. There is a very genuine case to be made to halt the massive inequality in games, but I for one don't really mind being villified or slaughtered by the bushel as games are not reality and i'm not so insecure as to be offended by this. For instance the worst villain of the second Witcher game is Bernard Loredo, without a doubt he is walking filth, and one of the nastiest examples of humanity i've ever seen portrayed in games. Still I like the character, he's well made, clever and believable. I certainly don't think this is an attack against me, or that the developers hate me, hate themselves or any other white man. I'm not so concieted. Edit: Clarification.

Is it possible to have organic food now? As far as i'm aware we've been breeding and altering crops since agriculture began haven't we? I mean as a child I loved gorging myself in the local farmers strawberry fields as much as any other child, not so much the beating when caught. Still i'm pretty sure that originally strawberry's were nothing like what we have today, farmers chose and bred specific genetically more attractive specimens and abandoned those that exhibited less attractive qualities. So that they could ensure a better harvest that was not so affected by the weather and functioned better in the environment, with of course proper fetilisation. I may be wrong however, I freely admit i'm not an expert on agriculture.

Was it Penn & Teller whom had a young lady attend a "Green Earth" convention, asking participants to sign a petition against the chemical DiHydrogen Monoxide, and gained thousands of signatures. Strange how followers of fashionable causes turn off their minds when trying to indoctrinate themselves fully to their chosen cause.

Seems to me, and this is just a personal opinion, that stripping out the combat and challenge of IWD would rob the game of any satisfaction or fun. IWD has some of the finest encounter design of the IE games in my opinion, and casting that aside doesn't seem sensible, the rules, tactics and effective strategies are hardly difficult to learn or master and doing so is more than worth the pay off. It seems like sitting down to a game of Chess with Mr Kasparov, but not wanting to learn how to play, or move any of the pieces. Visual adventures should in my opinion remain on film, and interactive experiences remain in games. If it's a matter of time, then simply play a couple of hours per night, without a gutted experience.

She's voiced several characters in various games, and yes, Veronica was one of them. She's supposedly a "nerd culture queen", or so I've been told. I never cared much either way, I don't particularly like her or dislike her, and this changes nothing as far as that goes. It's too bad she's fearful, I'm not looking for anyone to live in fear, even people I openly dislike, much less people I don't dislike. I don't care how or where she's living, just so long as there's an ocean or two between me and her. Wonder if one can train to be an astronaut when of advancing years, are NASA planning on sending anybody to Mars soon? Are there still research stations in Antarctica?

Is Felicia Day the young lady who voiced Veronica in New Vegas? If so i'd not cross the street to avoid her, i'd emigrate and renounce my citizenship, and upon the advent of viable super solar travel move to the nearest habitable Earth alternative.

Volourn. For the roofles.
