Drama and games journalism, soggy leg joint edition

Oh. Human Centipede, I forgot it exists... I watched the second one. It was bad. -

Heh, this one was good: And it's damn true. These people, they do nothing but talk. All day long. If they would spend that energy on creating cool games, the situation would look a lot different. I know it makes for good rhetoric, but I'm not surely that law enforcement shutting down 8chan is legally viable. -

Strangely enough, on sites which enforce a strict no-trolling policy, I haven't run into trolls. It's almost as if there's a connection between making internet forums ****-friendly and said forums being flooded with ****. I dunno, I think overmoderation leads to something like CBR, which I'm going to say shouldn't be emulated by anyone. -

Nah, I'm not a regular drinker but I am a binge drinker I now have an image of you sitting in some South African bar sipping a mixed drink(I don't take you as a beer or shots guy) eyeing all the ladies and wondering which one of them wouldn't mind dressing up like your Booware waifu of choice. -

Wait, that's not what this thread is for?Much like gamergate itself, this thread is pretty much an amorphous blob which isn't really clear on what it's for, but has very strong feelings about it regardless.So it's like a bunch of drunk people at a party? That isn't a wholly inaccurate description of the internet as a whole really. I just finished work now, its 11:20 pm....and I feel like getting drunk. Its been a long but relatively productive day, oh well there is always tomorrow to get a little inebriated I find most times are a good time for getting drunk. Then again, I promised Wals I'd pick up his slack while he gives up drinking so I have to drink for two. -

'Fraid not. We also don't wear cowboy hats either surprisingly. We do have some great shelters for abused women though. http://www.hawc.org/en/support-us/donate-today/ Feel free to chip in whatever. @ KP I'll definitely donate to this initiative I hope you aren't taking Primes comments too seriously, he is making some valid points but also having some fun at the same time with his jabs We need a bit of humour in this thread because at times it gets too serious And some of the comments have been quite funny I can certainly say I don't take Prime particularly seriously. Will admit that being called a Chinese manufacturing company was a little strange though. Glad you could pitch in Bruce. -

Ah well. Tell you what, I'll donate $50 to HAWC for both of us. Yeah, this is reasonable. On the other hand, it's (sadly) extremely hard to convince authorities that they should take such threats seriously (I mean we'll-find-and-prosecute-them seriously), and I can understand the attitude of people seeking support from their immediate circle of friends and family by talking about their harrassment if they're already ****ed by the authorities. (Whom I don't intend to demonize, by the way - they might have valid reasons for assigning lower priorities to such crimes.) No doubt, outrage is perfectly natural when your friends are threatened. I just question the current effectiveness of the approach and wonder if it ends up(unintentionally) doing more harm than good. -

Can't do that, don't support communism. Would the Green party suffice? -

I think it's a vicious circle. The harassers go to work on someone and get their jollies, they get condemned and enjoy it, and the cycle repeats itself. Perhaps not giving the harassers the attention they crave would be a good way of going about this? Condeming them doesn't seem to be stopping them, if anything its only made them worse. I understand the immediate urge to seek new solutions when ones that have been tried have proven to be useless, but this kind of attitude is still putting responsibility on the harrassed party not only for their own issues, but also for gaming culture becoming objectively poorer with minority devs deciding that the current climate is actively hostile to them, and therefore they should leave. This reeks of victim-blaming and I think it should be called out. I think harassers should be prosecuted if they make death threats. By no means am I intending to imply that it is the victims responsibility to avoid being harassed. What I am saying is that perhaps tweeting about being harassed may be encouraging the harassers, because they think they've been successful in their harassment. At the very least, it warns them they may have some heat and could make them harder to catch. As it is, the current response isn't working and something really needs to be done about this. -

Im 100% certain than someone, somewhere, had sex with a baboon. But whats a manboon? Seriously. Since it came from PJ then Im sure its intended as some withering insult but I cant even look it up. Someone help a brother out? http://www.manboon.com I guess I'm a manufacturing company. Not the worst thing I've been called, but certainly one of the strangest. -

I'm sorry, TN, I know you didn't mean it that way, but don't you think it's a little cold to basically pin the blame for prospective minority game devs leaving the industry on the "moral outrage machine" instead of, y'know, the actual harrassers? I think it's a vicious circle. The harassers go to work on someone and get their jollies, they get condemned and enjoy it, and the cycle repeats itself. Perhaps not giving the harassers the attention they crave would be a good way of going about this? Condeming them doesn't seem to be stopping them, if anything its only made them worse. -

No. I do not feel any need to "be even" with you. That would be too big a step down. Yeah, popping down from the high horse would be quite a fall. You could always pitch in what you were willing to do for that island paradise thing. -

Did someone have sex with a baboon? I know a dude got caught having sex with a goat, but I've never heard anything about apes. I would say this requires some research, but I have the feeling it will wind up being like this: http://youtu.be/lKfupO4ZzPs -

Yeah, unlike the earlier TFYC gig, this one actually looks legit. I can guarantee it is. A friend of mine was really helped out by them once. -

That's a very specific thing to focus on. I know but it cant be unseen. Google "Megan Fox toe thumb". It is pretty strange looking. -

It should be in my location. I thought it was common knowledge the third largest US city was located in Texas. Chip in 25$ and we'll be even. -

Sorry, @KaineParker, but no can do. We're winning, you see. You and the other manboons are the ones in the echo chamber; we represent the world at large. :breathes the briny wind blowing in from the sea: Mmmm. Freedom and open space. Lovely. If you want to find a nice comfy hole where you can safely wallow in your masculine victimhood without inconveniencing the rest of us, though, don't let us stop you. I hear the MGTOW's have a project where they want to buy an island and all move there. Maybe you want to chip in on that? Hell, if it's realistic, I'll throw in a shekel just to be rid of you lot. Well that was uncalled for. Whatever helps you feel better I guess. Me, I'm going to spend my time embracing my masculine victimhood by training for the Houston marathon to support the Houston Women's Center and protesting Texas' assault on women's reproductive rights. Not as valiant or useful as white knighting for rich white women on Twitter, but I guess that's just my male privilege clouding my judgement. If you want to apologise, do it by sending a few bucks here, they need it more than I do. http://www.hawc.org/en/support-us/donate-today/ I'd encourage the rest of you to chip in as well, if you can shell out hundreds for a kickstarter $5 shouldn't be that bad. -

**** it, I'm done with gamergate. Gaming media is a festering piece of **** that should be buried somewhere and forgotten. Leave the SJWs in their echo chamber and hope the **** don't decide to bother anyone else. -

It'll be fair cuz you sicked Jude Law on us. -
Nah, that just seems like an impossibly arduous task.. my therapist told me that somethings can't just be fixed I hear you. Let me pull back the curtain and show you the true blackness of my soul. In D3 there is a level called Whimsyshire. This level is inhabited exclusively by unicorns, teddy bears and clouds that smile when you click them (awww). I kill every last thing in that level without remorse. Does my depravity know no limits? Did you take the cloud's mother out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again?
