Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
Yeah, an apologist for Best Korea who cosplays from the safety of Canada is hilarious. Some responses from a Marxist to him from a challenge he issued a while back: https://commonruin.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/answering-jason-unruhes-maoist-third-worldist-challenge/ https://commonruin.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/first-world-phantoms/

Supreme Court: Same-sex couples can marry in all 50 states
I think having the state(the US in this case, not individual states) being the arbitrator if what constitutes a "legitimate" relationship between individuals was a mistake in the first place. People should be free to marry who they wish without interference from the state.

What you did today
How can anyone recover by arguing on the internet? Because I enjoy crushing my enemies, seeing them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women. I also have painkillers and 72 hours of taking it very easy.

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VII (J.J. Strikes Back)
I look at that and just get pissed off we didn't get KOTOR 3... Avellone as lead of KOTOR3 after leaving Obsidan? They're resurrecting Battlefront so I don't see why they wouldn't bring back another wildly popular franchise. Because KOTOR is Legend material and no new material for that old continuity is going to be produced. Expansions for TOR seem to be the only exception. Battlefront doesn't have the same issue. But if TOR draws upon the same material as KOTOR, wouldn't that not be an issue? I could see them re-branding it, perhaps Old Republic Knights or something, but a multiplatform Star Wars RPG in the vein of Dragon Age seems like it could be a big money maker for EA.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
Seeing as the best selling games are the likes of Call of Duty X, Sports, and Bethesda looking for good writing from AAA games is like looking for good writing in a Michael Bay or Zack Snyder film. Smaller games haven't got much better IMO, with Divinity OS and Wasteland 2 having pretty mediocre writing despite being fun. And yes, it a your responsibility to make sure that what you buy isn't a complete piece of ****. Which is why having a variety of tools, such as YouTube videos showing how the game plays, that help one get a feel for the game is a good thing. ...So? You've lost me. Not sure how your points relate to mine. I was contesting the first, at least when it comes to AAA games(Which GTA is), and agreeing with the second.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect good writing from video games in general. Moreover, I'd venture, it's the consumers' responsibility to demand quality work for their bucks. If we pay for ****ty content, that's all we'll get, because ****ty content is always easier and cheaper to produce than quality work.

That assumes that the sex workers are in it by choice or that they aren't being exploited by a pimp. Which given the legal status of prostitution where Bruce resides, may not be the case. As to the fictional depiction, there is a difference between wanting a different depiction and wanting outright removal. GTA is a pretty bland game to begin with, so I don't know why you would expect anything deep out of it or good writing in general. Gawker is the parent company of Kotaku, which is a blog that most here dislike. Hulk Hogan winning the lawsuit could potentially sink Gawker and that would potentially sink Kotaku.

Bro, are you really expecting consistency from Bruce? Nuances and context KP, these are words you have never seemed able to quite understand If "understanding" those terms mean I'm simultaneously able to justify using prostitutes while going on about how hookers in fiction is harmful or believing that airing private affairs is ok when it's a man but not when it's a woman, then I don't think I want to understand what your twisted interpretations of "context" and "nuance" are.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
Take into account that we're separated by the Atlantic ocean and I'm going purely from anecdotal and second hand information, but I've noticed more women in my university gravitating towards soft or non-science areas rather than hard science. Not sure why that is, but I've noticed that women are currently dominating Business courses especially. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing(except for anyone getting a business degree), but it would be interesting to see a study on why this is.
