Yeah, they're after net neutrality again. Bunch of scumbags.

Then deliver only a third of them 2 years later. TN posted this earlier and what makes it funny is that the shirt was made for him by a female friend. Way to **** on a woman's work, how "progressive" of them. As to the tearing down of men instead of highlighting the accomplishments of women, I honestly can't answer that. I too find it mind-boggling that rather than celebrate the accomplishments of women, these "progressives" would rather sling poop over minor things while ignoring the effort and success of women currently doing things. You would think the best way to having a more diverse (insert whatever industry or subculture here) would be to show women and minorities who have done well in (insert whatever industry or subculture here) instead of making (insert whatever industry or subculture here) seem like a dark place inhabited by people who are hostile towards women and minorities.

http://basedgamer.com/# Rotten Tomatoes thing for vidya. Thoughts?

You flash muggers?

I came for PoE, I stayed to post pictures of women and troll the off-topic.

Quiet you! If the SJWs know about our Misogny Fission reactor, they can strike at us with their tumble bombs.

Jesus this thread moves fast. 600+ posts in 10 days seems lightspeed compared to the usual pace around here.

Skyrim had a story?

"Best game ever. The romances were so well done I even kissed my monitor ?" -BruceVC "Too much romance and not enough fighting in tunnels" - Monte Carlo "Better than Twitcher3" - Hoon Ding ... "kissed my mother's brother" would be more appropriate, it is Bioware after all Naw, the most accurate would be "kissed anything that couldn't get out of the way fast enough". Biowarians aren't very picky.

It says they are making a game striving for historical accuracy and taking place in a time period when gender roles were very strongly defined and extremely difficult to defy. It's not the same as in a fantasy game where the world and the gender roles (or lack there of) can be anything you want them to be. Early 15th century Europe was a very real place with a very real and very strict social system divided by gender and blood. If you're striving for historical accuracy in a game like that it's not a trivial matter to allow the player to choose gender. It's not as simple as making a female character model and changing a few lines of dialogue here and there to reflect the player's gender roles. Almost everything would have to be written multiple times to reflect gender differences. Entire quest lines would have to be completely different or unavailable to one character or the other. It would be almost like creating a whole second game just to add the gender choice. While this may sound good to the consumer, it does to me, and I would welcome a game with such complexity and it would certainly add replay value, this would be a mammoth undertaking for the developer, even a publisher funded developer working with a budget in the hundreds of millions. For a small upstart studio working off a budget a fraction of that, it would be sheer folly. This is why so many of us gamers hate social justice warriors, this is why so many of us hate people just like you, Bruce. It's because developers are not free to express their art as they see fit, they are not free to act on their vision, not without harassment from zealots trying to cram a social engineering agenda into everything. Not every game has to be all inclusive. Not every game has to represent genders equally (guess what Bruce, the genders are different, this is a biological fact, men and women are not the same). Not every game has to include someone with every shade of skin color under the sun and make sure they're all shown in an equally positive light. Sometimes developers want to tackle specific subjects from a specific point of view. Sometimes these subjects may be difficult for some people to swallow. Developers should be free to create their games according to their vision, free from the oppressive noose of totalitarian control freaks tightening around their necks and sapping their creativity. It's called freedom of expression. This is one of the things we are fighting for.

Pretty much what Volo said. The controversy behind Deliverance seems to be largely non-issue, and the same problem could be applied to the Torment game where the original plan was to have the PC be female by default.

I'm pretty sure most larger developers and publishers are going to stay out of it. Not worth the possible fallout, and we consumers can fight our own battles anyways.

Actually, a quick google search on that reveals that him telling white people to kill themselves never happened, and was a fabrication by a satirical website. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/11/26/rumor-check-did-a-professor-instruct-white-male-students-to-commit-suicide-for-the-benefit-of-society/ Which is why I edited it to state it is "satire". I'll admit I wasn't clear, but I really wanted to use that gif.

I got your meaning, but everyone I know that has expressed an opinion on his music has disliked it.

McIntosh's professor speaks. http://youtu.be/0mSASrzCuBw He also advised white males to kill themselves. https://diversitychronicle.wordpress.com/2013/11/18/progressive-professor-urges-white-male-students-to-commit-suicide-during-class/ Satire of him.

You're the first person I've seen admit to liking Nugent's music. I don't care for his politics, but I found his music kinda boring before knowing what his beliefs were. *shrug*

As much as I would rather not talk about Mojo Jojo, denying there is a double-standard when it comes to genders and races among the SJWs is delusional. I like to consider myself equal opportunity. If someone is being sexist or racist to any gender or race, they are a bigot and an **** and I will call them on it. Giving hatred a pass because its directed to an acceptable target is wrong.

Trying way too hard to judge Bradwell when all you have is speculation. All that was made publicly available thanks to the gaming journalist was the side of the prosecution.Also, the pro-corruption side needs better spell checking aside from their fact checking. The pro-corruption side don't believe in facts.

There is also the fact that Double Fine hosted a "Day of the Devs" party in SF with DJ Phil Fish, which they streamed online. Not really a good move when people are questioning your money management skills. I find the best thing to do when I have an overfunded project that is unfinished and I need more money to complete is to throw a party with spare funds instead. Cuz finishing a project is what the Patriarchy wants.

LOL. Tim Schaefer collected 5 times the requested amount for his kickstarter and is still unable to finish the game. Ron Gilbert has slid into obscurity and was hardly relevant when I was 10, let alone now in 2014. Kickstarter frauds and hasbeens. As to the "many more", I would be suprised if they had made a game that topped 10,000 units. Brad Wardell by no means admitted to sexual harassment, he was wrongly accused of it and had his name drug through the mud over a lawsuit by a former employee that was dismissed. This is a fact, deal with it. As to making people worried about expressing their opinion, freedom of speech doesn't entitle anyone to freedom from critiscm. Not even communist black transwoman lesbians. They certainly shouldn't be harassed, but someone poking holes in their logic or calling them an **** isn't harassment. But please, do go for the gold in mental gymnastics. I could use a good laugh. Probably, but I like to think that most can see a joke(quality of taste may vary) and not take it literally. Of course if an organization I worked for told me to cut it out I would stop, especially if I was referring to an event of theirs.

If Thompson was packaged as a thirty-something feminist scholar with terrible taste in earings and you substituted "think of the children!" with "women are being harmed!" You would have Anita in a nutshell. To be fair, I'm not sure we have any way to judge Thompson's taste in earrings, so its a bit difficult to tell if they have a difference in taste there or there or not. Also - and just IMO - it seems a bit silly to talk about appearance in this situation. Either they're similar in using shaky logic against a strawman evil they've built, or not, but I don't think their appearance matters one whit within that context. Thompson thinks earings are the Devil's jewelry. I'm not of the opinion that Anita's taste in earings(as obnoxious as I find the giant hoops to be) is indicative of her arguments in any way. For me at least, it is a cheap throw away crack at the fashion tendencies, similar to jabs at the unnatural hair colors of other individuals.

Are they? I suppose if one solely looks at the rainbow haired crowd it would appear that way. Of course, large devs have been quiet for the most part so make of that what you will.

Congratulations and condolences Nep. Today I contemplated renting from my parents until I finish my BA for $500 a month. It's less than I would spend on an apartment with a roommate(and the one's I've had have been pretty bad) and I would really like to buckle down and finish without financial concerns being an issue.
