  1. Wow, did that really happen? I didn't even hear about this one. Yup. Where's his TV-spot? Between a Kardashian selfie and some rich people telling the poor what to do. And yes, KoP was sent a knife and had the fire department called to his residence due to a claim of him being suicidal. See, it's things like this that make it a lot harder to denounce the harassment coming from GG because the other side is just as bad, if not worse. It's like harassment is the goddamn status quo and that pisses me the hell off. I have no problem denouncing harassment wherever I see it, and I will continue to do so regardless of who is doing the harassing or who the victim is. If those on the pro-corruption side are willing to look the other way when the harassment is from one of their own or the victim is someone they dislike, I think that shows a lot about their character.

  3. https://openstandard.mozilla.org/yes-gamergate-is-everyones-issue/ Nothing new really, but nice to see Young getting exposure outside of Techraptor.
  4. I'm surprised he made it this long. You think he would've od'd or had a heart attack with his weight and habits.
  5. Take it down a notch.Never! Just irritating to be aware they exist, much like Rob Ford. Still, the amusing thing about this is that all the, ahem, victims are doing pretty well. Why I laugh when I read people post about how terrible this and the lives "ruined".Rather surprised it has kept going, though I shouldn't be. War waged on social media where everyone must be a snarky **** at any given moment and SJWs that can't pass up on bait to prove they care.
  6. Actually EA doesn't seem to be selling Ultimate Editions anymore(or at least I couldn't find them for ME2 or 3). Also the engine isn't mod friendly, so you may be disappointed on that front.
  7. Far too much. Uh, not according to the link KP put up. You couldn't get me out of bed for most of those salaries, and I'm an underpaid educator! An average for freelancers is $26k? Yikes. I can see why they all suck. No legitimate journalist would go near those numbers. It should be noted that freelancers have some other kind of income(according to the link), and you would need to as well with those peanuts. Then there is the whole unpaid interns thing zor brought up, which arguably drives the average lower. The staff wages aren't much better unfortunately, and you get what you pay for, evidenced by the glorified bloggers currently staffing these sites. Unfortunately, said bloggers do have more power than some dude on WordPress, and I can see how a hit-piece or negative **** dump can severely affect the reputation of a dev, game, or studio. That isn't to say we should bar any ideology from criticising games, but a separation between reviews and opinion pieces would be nice. All of this is pretty irrelevant though, YouTube personalities will probably dominate the reviews market and professional printed reviews will go the way of the typewriter. I personally welcome this, as I find footage of gameplay to be much more informative than some hipster in a tiffy about Bayonetta's bewbs or that the game needlessly encourages violence.
  8. https://archive.today/StMbS Group of female gamers harassed...by another group of female gamers.
  9. http://www.gamesradar.com/ask-gr-anything-how-much-do-game-journalists-earn/ Keep in mind it is dated 2011 though.

  11. Ok then, off to see if I can find this doc.
  12. I'm already familiar with the Turner case, is the doc still worth watching anyways?
  13. Hell yeah.
  14. I think I'm just going to start ignoring the Mojo Jojos completely. Don't see how they are relevant to gaming really.
  15. I've never heard of this site before, so can someone try to convince me that they know what they're doing? (ie. aren't clickbaiting, stupid or having sexual relations with someone who has a vested interest in this failing?) Research confirms they are having sex with Ubisoft.
  16. Seeing as a good number of tea baggers nest in and around my city, I can confirm this. Between the Jack Thompson/Anita Sarkeesian parallels and the willingless to keep a terrible situation as is, I'm starting to wonder if the mainstream left is closer to the right-wingers than they care to admit.
  17. .....................................................................wat Some rabbit holes should not be entered.
  18. Do a bunch of cocaine and hope for the best.
  19. LOL. It isn't about ethics cause JIM STERLING is against it. Never mind GameJournoPros, writing on the games of friends, or even the total lack of objectivity: Jim Sterling is against it so it can't be about ethics. Ah strawmen and pseudo-intellectualism, never change internet.
  20. ....Wat.... A woman plans to kill her husband(who just happens to be worth over 1 mil dead) calmly and without reporting any abuse on his part and his caught and has charges brought against her. When she arrives in court she says that he was abusive towards her and gets off. Even if her claims of abuse are true, no punishment at all for attempted murder is an abortion of justice.
  21. You'll have to kick in some benefits.
  22. $200,000 for everyone! I'd just wipe my ass with the money anyways. LOL. My father works his ass off to make less than 200,000(before taxes) a year, after working construction, pool cleaning, and eventually starting his own business in pool repair. My mother worked as an aide in a hospital until she was able to help pops start the business. I remember barely having enough to make ends meet and not being able to afford new clothes or videogames until I was 10. Instead of funding my adventures, my folks made me pay for college myself and offered only a $500 a month rent and a 40+ hour job that paid $11.50. And I'm supposed to be the privileged one? The self-absorption of rich people is just baffling.
  23. What's with the pixelated redhead and the bro?
  24. I could see crowdfunding being needed for publishing rather than writing. It would be much easier to get it to interested readers that way.
  25. I believe it to be a result of how "comfortable" they are with the state of the industry, either that or they are oblivious to professional behavior. Seeing their dislike of ethics, I doubt they've encountered professionalism at all, let alone attempt to emulate it.
