We could give him same helpful tips that we give women, don't drink too much, don't go in parties alone, don't dress up too sexy, don't be friends with members of opposite sex, don't be out in late, etc.. Solid. Gold. None. But you can keep in mind that while the plural of anecdote isn't "data", the singular sure as hell isn't either. So until reliable statistics turn up about the false conviction rates being higher than the number of actual rape cases (ie. "proof that the program causes more harm than good"), I remain sceptical of the idea that incidents such as this are a widespread menace. I'm not arguing that it is widespread, I'm wondering how I can prevent such a situation. Given that I am the same age as the accused, in college, and associate with women, a possibility exists that I may be in a similar situation and I would like to know what I can do to avoid it. ----- Remember that you have to make sure that the girl will now avidly and visibly nod in public and/or say yes "you can kiss me and put a hand on my butt" in a bar for college students or campus dorm/house party. Best if you can record it too! also, make sure to continue getting an active consent and record it witch each piece of clothing being removed... make sure you will get a clear verbal consent and have it recorded!

Oby is ALIVE :D

Considering the level of abuse towards women in most societies I have no issue with them having a systemic advantage Its funny but despite all the women I have interacted with in my life I have never been accused of rape and neither have any of my male friends, yet I know women who have been raped So a systemic advantage seems like a good idea, I'm not sure why people are so worried? It's not a good idea. You do not change legal basic rules to cater to a specific demographics. It's already a huge problem for men to get equal footing in courts where it comes to things related to parents' rights, now you complicate another section of legal system to be skewed heavily in favor of the women, and it creates dangerous precedence in legal system where the defender is guilty until it is proven otherwise. That's not how the law should work. In order for you to comprehend the issue better It's like stacking law against blacks in South Africa in not so distant past, where they were generally guilty on hints and simple accusations unless they could produce a hard proof of innocence. This only creates field for extreme abuses, as portrayed in the presented case. ----------------------- IMO saying "No" is enough when you don't feel like it, and if someone does not get that rule, it won't change with the "need to hear yes" rule, but this opens big and ugly door for abuses. Not to mention that it moves the flirting into a bit akward situations. I can quote myself with the previous example: Remember that you have to make sure that the girl will now avidly and visibly nod in public and/or say yes "you can kiss me and put a hand on my butt" in a bar for college students or campus dorm/house party. Best if you can record it too!

Hmm I remember some time ago I was making fun of the new idea of active consent being required, throughout the whole "courting" process ahh.. here it is, our perfect discussion in November last year, with all the risks and apparently this abuse is present in the case provided by the OP http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/69351-journalism-and-sexism-in-the-games-industry/page-25 so in short, every male is guilty unless proven otherwise... Even though I despise anyone who is even remotely approaching abusive behaviors vs women, the law's basic principle should not be twisted around and reverse the basic principle of being not-guilty until proven.

I still can't frce myself to finish the game.... there are so many better games out there....

a lil bit of slef stab by DotA 2 community and gamer girlls

Simulating battles in MoO is like autoresolving battles in Heroes of Might and Magic or Total War series. Sure, you can, but you are missing at least half of the game. All the tech upgrades, custom designs and army build ups, which you never see in action... Nah, I will pass such a boring game. No player controlled combat is a big turn off for me from all strategy games. If I want pure simulations then I play a game like original SimCity series or some Tycoon.

Apparently... it was late night for me when I posted :D and the only thing i could think of after a day I had was this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PQ6335puOc

if there will be no tactical combat then that's not MoO game.... and certainly a big rage inducing factor....

If they will.make combat mechanics actually playable in turn base system i will support the idea.

It's possible that the games is good, but I read as far as "You will design custom spaceships and deploy them into real-time battles" and stopped reading.I dislike "RTS" games passionately. DOnt get it fool you, it really have decent space battles very similiar to old Moo unlike that junk that Galactic civilizations got instead of combat The one thing that killed GC series for me is that crappy space combat... even Endless space has better combat, although i don't like the phase and resolution system. Best 4X developed after MoO2 era for me so far was the Sword of the Stars first game, but it had pretty meh planet management and the only redeeming factor was the space conquest and RT battles. If only Sid would expand on the Starships game and change it into a fullblown 4X that would be probably best game since MoO2 but in the current shape it's a fun space.combat TB 1 session game. I really hope that this remake will rock my socks off...

Something new, and this time not in power armor :D Source: http://love-squad.deviantart.com/art/Cirilla-the-Lion-Cub-of-Cintra-Witcher-3-488440182

Cassandra loses her appeal for me more so when I see her walk. She's got a ... stern face, but it's not ugly. She's kind of on the butch side, but still. I could get over it. But then I see her walk like an ape and I'm like, no. Unfortunately, BioWare seems to have made every single female in the game walk like an ape. I just don't know how animators in the year 2014 (when it was released) can do such a horrible job with how the females in the game move about. Did you think that they will walk like on a catwalk?

Is the objective of the game to find your clothes? Nah, it is to create own Conan or she-Conan

I guess it depends on how resourceful you are

One small step for mankind... Big leap for Bruce's space romances agenda?

Not sure if this is serious or not, but a link from a friend made me laugh. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pornhub-space-program-sexploration#/story

well.... this sucks...

it seems my friends that creators of World of Tanks decided to revive and recreate the one and only legendary space 4X TB strategy game - Master of Orion... http://masteroforion.eu/en/ and the trailer: I HOPE they will make it great. From what I read it seems they have some of the original crew behind the MoO on board in the subsidiary developer responsible for making this game. I really miss a good 4X space TB game. Endless Space was cool, but it missed out on combat aspect, Sword of the stars (first one) had some neat ideas and then Second was a flop IMO.... oh well..I hope that the king is back

Are you one of those people that think EA is actually going to put a minigun in a fantasy game? I would not be surprised. Perhaps not THE minigun but something like boltthrower with autoload and circular movement that load bolts from a belt is in their premise 100%

But its really a fantasy realm so why not just include minorities? It can still be very Slavic but I don't see the big deal? The big deal is 1) Is that it is quite racist to include minorities for the sake of them being minorities. 2) The double standard. No one is forcing the Japanese/Asian market to include whites or blacks in their games. Racism is still racism despite with "good" intensions, nice try though. Who's "we?" not needing to prompt european race? Who are you talking about? Why is it morally right for any artist pursue this racial/cultural propaganda and why should companies profit from it? Why do you feel Japanese games have to now feature European people? Answer my questions first. Okay, "we" is the general European\White raceI meant to say " we have no need to promote the White race " Hahahaha, i'm done. Do you mind sharing why you are done ? Because trying to tell whites that their race and culture should not be promoted is quite evil, is it not? Like there is a certain layer of what the human expression of oneself can go before someone else puts an arbitrary stop-sign telling them that their culture just have had enough. I thought that we all worked from on the dream MLK had as a base. Maybe he was wrong after all... Dude...seriously? I would like others to comment ..." do you guys think the European\White race needs to be promoted in our modern age " Yes, because a lot of it seems to be getting forgotten. The old folk tales the old culture etc and it is being overshadowed by shows like jersey shore or hells kitchen. Besides how much do you know about celtic or slav or norse or balkan or various germanic cultures really? You come from a country tha was a mere colony and try to school others on how they should perceive and promote their own millenia long cultural roots? Mind your own cultural background and do not school others on representation of their culture you "colonist" No I'll continue to get involved in other peoples cultures....its a wonderful global world Well whats an example then of a valid group of white people that have been victims to abuse and bigotry by black people ? Wannabe rappers? And historically i am quite sure tha there were a lot of explorers who got into trouble. Throughout the history there was opression of various kinds and it was always the victors over the defeated. It does not matter what race or geographic location. It's just the nature of the conflicts that we had up to the end of world war 2. And even today in less civilized regions of the worlds those old rules still apply.

And now we're gonna do it again. Better late than ever? but at least the progression is "reasonable" and it may have some twists. maybe it will not be fully linear (we see in the demo soldiers using weapons with various add-ons taken from salvaged/captured weapons), maybe t will have some more branching and specializations, etc. wait and see approach, but it is definitely better than trying to go from super advanced to hyper advanced, where you would probably end up with something like implosion guns or whatever ridiculous idea there could be.

It's the aftermath of your first Ironman Impossible playthrough ever when it was your first contact with the game ever, meaning, most likely you were decimated in first 2 months and council pulled off the funding where you get this nice "you lost" video. The world where XCOM wins is a new happy, very unrealistic alternate universe. Also I prefer this solution than dealing with possible power level problems and DbZ syndrome (i mean by the endgame you get on equal footing in terms of air combat and your ground troops have access to power armors that are super tanky, can fly or can make you invisible, plus you get to improve on enemy plasma weaponry, you also get super advanced in genetics and you can create dudes that can punch sectopods in their face with big metal powerfists)

This is the BEST news I have heard all day by far, his resignation is long overdue So he just won re-election after the media buzz of corruptio and now he resigns? Seems the rumors about some leads pointing to his involvement are true then and he wants to vanish and hide all the money before he will get arrested
