That's a bold statement.

Cosigned. If Qistina is going to go Full Oby I absolutely want to see it.

I don't if they were purposely going for so unbelievably bad that it wraps back around into awesome, but by golly it succeeded. That is some doggone campy **** right there.

Well, several good things happened in tonight's episode: The introduction of Jim Corrigan Character development for Zoe and Papa Midnite This:

It's not as simple as you may want to make it out to be considering that there is an entire industry (bars) built, in part, around the idea of people getting drunk and having sex.

I unlocked Balder in Bayonetta 2. He unlocks in Tag Climax Mode and the verse you need to beat is offered to you randomly while playing other matches. It's a pretty hard verse where you have to fight both Balder and Rosa at the same time. He's only available to use in Tag Climax Mode (I imagine the same is true for Rodin), which I guess makes sense. While the character models are replaced in Story Mode cutscenes with whomever you're playing (leading to hilarious instances of double Jeanne or double Rosa if you play those characters) the voice remains the same, meaning it's always Bayonetta speaking no matter who you're playing (in th cutscenes, the barks during gameplay will be replaced with Rosa or Jeanne specific barks and voices if you play either of those characters). While this can seem a bit weird, seeing Jeanne or Rosa talking with Bayonetta's voice, it;s not that weird since it's still a female voice coming out of a female body. I imagine hearing Balder or Rodin talk with Bayonetta's voice would be quite jarring (and amazingly hilarious). Anyway, Balder is crazy fast and his attacks have pretty good melee range and tend to hit in an arc, potentially hitting multiple enemies. I still prefer to play as Rosa in Tag Climax, though, simply because of her insane damage output.

The greatest mistake this video's author makes is asking Ms. Sarkeesian to evaluate characters honestly and on their entire body of work and character facets. As if that's ever going to happen. It's a lot harder to spin a narrative without cherry picking and telling half-truths (or outright lying, as Anita has done on multiple occasions).

I'd say that Super Mario Bros. stands the test of time. That game is almost 30 years old and has influenced pretty much every culture around the world and continues to do so. Obviously, that's a short period of time in the grand scheme of things, but I fully expect that 200 years from now the impression that game left on the world will still be felt to some degree.

The seventh seal has been broken. The Raiders won a game.

It's gotten steadily slightly better each episode, which is a good trend. It's got tons of room to improve, though.

If it looks like a duck...

Nor should you.

Well that's kind of a root problem here. Are these entertainers or are they journalists? Personally, I haven't considered the gaming media journalists since the early days of Computer Gaming World. They are entertainment rags, closer to US Weekly than any reputable news organization. That's why I find this entire movement mindboggling. Wait, so what you're saying is that it's stupid to ask for reform because these sites are just clearly sensationalist rags? I'd say it's all the more reason to ask for reform because these sites are sensationalist rags. You argument basically boils down to this thing is broken, you people are being silly trying to fix it.

It's possible to have a schtick and still provide fair and insightful information to help the consumer. The two are not mutually exclusive. As an aside, these days I turn to The Cynical Brit for my most trusted information since I find him to be very fair and thorough.

The Escapist and IGN(yes, that IGN) have recently reworked their ethics policies and have been deemed acceptable. TechRaptor, NicheGamer, and Gather Your Party seem to be shown some love as well. I'm not sure if Destructoid has formally changed policy or not, but they've been consistently disclosing pertinent information as of late. I personally thought that site got a whole heck of a lot better once Jim Sterling left (that was well before GamerGate began). I'm not sure if some people had issues with Dale North (I personally didn't), but he's gone too now.

I take it on a case by case basis. For example, I backed inXile's Wasteland 2. They delivered, in my eyes, exactly the game they promised and a game I very much enjoyed. If Mr. Fargo decides to do another Kickstarter after TToN (which I already backed) and it's a game that appeals to me, I won't hesitate to back it. On the flip side, while I didn't (thankfully) back Elite Dangerous, given recent events, I would have great reservations about backing another Braben project. Another negative example is Broken Age (Double Fine Adventure) which I did back. Given how obscenely overdue the game is, with the second half still nowhere in sight, and the crap Double Fine pulled with Spacebase DF 9, I wouldn't back another Tim Schafer project at gunpoint, even if it was Psychonauts 2. So, for me personally, any single case of not delivering, whether it's a game entirely failing to materialize, or major promised features being cut, doesn't turn me off crowdfunding as a whole. I will continue to evaluate projects on a case by case basis. I do realize that, for the masses as a whole, your assumption is very likely correct and some high profile failings may sour broad public perception and turn people off crowdfunding entirely.

So, a team deathmatch type shooter?

You do realize the post right above yours contains a "****ing self-made analysis with pros and cons" right?

♫ Feeling down 'n' dirty, feeling kinda mean I've been from one to another extreme This time I had a good time, ain't got time to wait I wanna stick around till I can't see straight ♫ ♫ Fill my eyes with that double vision No disguise for that double vision Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me My double vision gets the best of me ♫

Finished my Bayonetta 2 Rosa all gold or better playthrough. I scored 9 platinum and 8 gold for the prologue + 16 chapters. The unlock is the Bracelet of Time (methinks that's a Devil May Cry reference). It's a useful item, though I doubt I'll use it. It lets you trigger Witch Time whenever you want, but drains your magic pool when you do so and prevents you from ever using Umbran Climax. I'd rather trigger Witch Time the old fashioned way (dodging) or via Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa (staggering and countering the opponent) and being able to trigger the ultra powerful Umbran Climax (Rosa does so much damage while in Umbran Climax that I've beaten boss level enemies in a matter of 10 seconds). Now would probably be a good time to take a break from the game and play something else. Ha ha, just kidding, though I'll probably dial my playing time back some and play other games a bit more. I'll likely spend the majority of my Bayonetta 2 time playing tag climax for a bit to try to unlock Balder and/or Rodin.

Foundation is to Isaac Asimov as The Dark Tower is to Stephen King.

Oh wow. Foundation is pretty amazing, I freakin' love that series. I'm not sure how it will work on television, but I sure as hell will give it a shot. I imagine they'll cut out or condense the parts where Asimov goes on 3 or 4 page long exceedingly technical explanations of things.

Lethal Weapon 4 as in exceedingly mediocre or Lethal Weapon 4 as in mailing it in and collecting a paycheck? Or both?
