Journalism and sexism in the games industry
Volo I really thought we had resolved this and you were happy with my response? I am sorry your niece works in the sex industry but there is no judgement from my side. And I have no issue with her playing GTAV You don't seem sorry at all, and given the vulture like timing of your post, you might want to check if Polygon is hiring. Might be right up your alley.

Toddler shoots mom in a Wal-Mart
I'm sure Adam Lanza, a dopey middle class teenager, had deep connections to the black market, and if his mother's arsenal was properly locked up he could have easily obtained those weapons. On a serious note, no civilian needs to own automatic weapons. Period. What kind of restrictions on concealed carry? Less concealed carry. If you're using a gun as a deterrent to crime, what better way than to show it? Most folks who want to conceal it are up to no good. It's impossible to make the police check every house for meth too, but it's still illegal. Woldan, all of this is the same narrative we've been hearing from the NRA for 20 years. To them, nothing can be done to improve gun safety, reduce gun crime or prevent gun accidents. Because reasons.

What do you mean with better regulation and higher standards? More thorough background checks with a long waiting period to purchase a gun. Higher restrictions on concealed carry. Mandatory safety storage protocol. No 12 yr olds shooting Uzis. That sort of thing.

Uhh...what town mandates you carry a firearm? Never heard of this. Mericans like guns because it's a deep tradition all the way back to our founding. We're closer to our frontier days than any European state, for instance. We also have some of the best and most accessible hunting in the world, so that accounts for many gun owners as well. Still say we need better gun regulation. Better regulation and higher standards do not impinge on individual freedoms.

http://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2015/01/gamergate-at-the-beginning-of-2015 Don't agree with all of it. at least he demonstrates a balanced look at the larger SJW phenomena. A link to the sci-fi debacle in there, something I hadn't read about.

I would post a link to Ben 'cry baby' Kuchera of Polygone, whinging about how evil and degenerate gamers are, but I don't know how to archive. This is the same dude who tried to bully David Jaffe into admitting he's a sexual deviant and claimed Tetris is promoting communism. If you want to weep for humanity, read the cheerleaders in the comment section. Wish I hadn't been banned from that site because I really want to say something offensive.

No. Although hunters safety courses are required in most states. Maybe all of them, not sure.

It's the mother who put potentially everyone in danger that day. That's why more regulation is needed to keep idiots from owning guns. If the kid blasted someone else there would rightly have been a huge lawsuit. Anyway, **** yeah Murica, god, guns and groceries! I'm out.

Its forbidden by law to shoot people. Also its forbidden by law to run over people with your car. And giving an uzi to a 12 yr old should also be forbidden. Your rights should not trump public safety.

Stricter gun laws don't make people any less careless. If there laws were as strict as possible she still would have shot herself because of carelessness. Same if the laws were super relaxed. Reckless driving is forbidden and the proper driving behavior is taught in driving schools yet tenths of thousands of people die each year because of reckless driving. You cannot prevent peoples stupidity by law, you can take away dangerous things some people might use to hurt each other out of carelessness or stupidity, but this is a two sided blade, and banning things or making super strict laws because of some foul apples doesn't make life any brighter. This fits neatly into the NRA's mantra to do nothing about it because, well, people are flawed. I don't buy that logic. Fittingly, there are all manner of laws and regulations when I operate my vehicle. Not the case with guns. Should I carry a loaded gun in my purse next to my toddler? Is it a good idea to teach this 12 yr old girl to shoot an uzi? I dare say we could create legislation to prevent these scenarios.

This is why i'm for stricter gun laws in the states. These tragedies happen way too often and careless idiots are allowed to own guns and store them without any safety measures whatsoever. Maybe it's because I hunt and treat guns with the respect they deserve. I get the feeling people who buy guns only for protection are making a huge mistake.

I figured it out... Why RPGs seem to be going down hill.
Lots of people here don't like Action RPGs, don't consider them an RPG at all. I am genuinely shocked.

The writers would never say, but there's almost zero chance Jacque isn't Alvin. As to the topic at hand, some things have been lost, others are better than ever now. And I can always go back, replay those games of yore.
