That isn't true, Bruce is very reasonable about romance and social justice ? -

Engagement would work very well....in a turn-based game. Unfortunately it's a mess in Real Time, and should be cut out. -

Somewhere, Jack Thompson is shocked that of he had used "feminism" instead of "think of the children" the gaming press would've bent over for him instead.of fighting him. But they aren't trying to take our games, just trying to prevent us from buying them. -

I really hate it when people throw around privilege like it's some blanket thing. I have to work full time to put myself through college but I'm more privileged than an upper class girl because I have a **** doesn't compute for me. -

Yes! Because: A) They don't already have those. B) Why give your Fighter the ability to engage 3 people at once when you could have him just go "KNOCKDOWN! KNOCKDOWN, KNOCKDOWN! Oh, you're getting back up? KNOCKDOWN! Oh, there are 3 more people headed this way trying to get to my Mage? Fighter lieutenants, COMMENCE KNOCKDOWN DEATH BLOSSOM!" /sarcasm How many knockdowns per encounter do you think we should give each Fighter, to be able to passively handle this whole "I can't really stop you from jogging past me" situation in place of some form of engagement mechanic? I have neither the time nor the patience to properly respond to this kind of idiocy. Just pull an analogy out your ass and let him spend several walls of text pulling it apart. If it can be said in ten words, Lephys will say it in a thousand. -

Having played a sizeable chunk last night, I can confirm that disengagement attacks can be exploited to a degree that encounters become trivial. -

Unless you could legally prove that the Kickstarter creator never had any intentions to provide the product/service it described then I don't think you'd have a legal case to sue them (and they have no money anyhow, aparently). Kickstarter's legal agreements put the onus onto the pledger for the loss of their pledge if what they backed falls apart so I doubt you'd have much room to go after them for re-embursement.I just don't understand how someone could make a public statement: "I have money, but I'm not deal with my debts. I'm going to give them to these people instead."And it's okay? I believe that dodging the IRS is grounds for legal trouble, but I'm not sure if the kickstarter policy forbids it. In any case, it's morally wrong at the least. I doubt any journalists will report on it, as she's one of the right crowd. As an aside, I think I'm not going to bother with Kickstarter any more after the recent crap their people have said. Indiegogo and PayPal donations for me now. -

It was the SJW Vivian James Twitter Account angry about transphobia in DAI. Apparently enslaving nations through necromancy is fine, but the PC being transphobic isn't. I don't think any harassment is acceptable and I think trying to compartmentalize it by type and target is not a good way to solve the issue as a whole, let alone address it. IMO, we should be targeting individuals who take part in harassment, not demanding entire genders take responsibility for the actions of some anon they have no power over and have likely never met. With that, I should really try to get some sleep. Try not to have the pro-corruption side harass a woman in the next 6 hours please. -

Googling online harassment, these are the graphs I found. %Men harassed: 47% %Women harassed: 37% Source: http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/10/22/online-harassment/ Men and Women Standard v 18-29 years old Standard v 18-24 Men v 18-24 Women Harassment by Age and place of occurance Harassment by Gender and place of occurance "Welcomeness" in online situations. It seems to me that harassment is more of an internet problem generally than a gaming problem specifically. In addition, women seem to be more welcome in most gaming environments then men. Therefore I'm going to remain skeptical on the unsubstantiated claims made in that video, until they can prove their statements. -

http://amherststudent.amherst.edu/?q=article/2014/12/03/gamergate-controversy-extends-beyond-computer-screen Pretty decent article on problems with corrupt journalism. http://s2b20blog.mukyou.com/voice-parappa-threatens-death-fan-steals-100-2-year-long-escapade/ Dude gets a death threat from a VA who he paid $100. Oh Milo, you beautiful bastard! -
I didn't find any masterwork/superb tier 3 stuff for mages. But many schematics are random drops, so it isn't guaranteed that you find them. Although I would guess if you farm giants in Emerald Graves you probably eventually get every random drop schematic that there are. I know there's the Archon Staff, which you get for doing a long string of missions for Iron Bull, but no word on any other schematics.

http://gamergate.me/2014/12/struggle-of-the-pen/ Muslim guy talks about being compared to ISIS because he has a problem with the state of gaming journalism. Because the entire thing is [citation needed]. That's what I thought, you don't really have a reason to dismiss it. Its just a knee-jerk reaction because it raises the reality of harassment of women on the Internet and it appears that this view is not something that certain people who support GG want to really accept or acknowledge...or even discuss Do you think this then undermines the objectives of GG somehow? Is it not possible to support GG but also support a video like this and the message it is trying to convey ? If you don't see the lack of proof for said statements as "a reason to dismiss it", I honestly don't know what to say. If you want to convince me that harassment of women is exponentially more common than harrasment in general, you're going to have to show some hard evidence, not anecdotal musings. -

http://www.littletinyfrogs.com/article/459705/Have_people_lost_their_collective_minds I'm also feeling very good now. We helped get the FTC to revise their guidelines concerning affiliate links. This e-celeb attention grabbing doesn't mean ****.
