A few headlines: "Female game developer driven out of industry by hateful males" "Misogyny is alive and well in gaming, says indie darling Philis Fish" "The sickening campaign of violence and hatred towards female developers by gamers is disgusting" Ignoring of course the very antagonistic tweets and statements by Fish. Because it's hard to sympathize with a victim who is a belligerent ****.

Thanks volo. I think I'm going to spread skills around pretty evenly. The custom Rangers are gonna have at least one ranged combat skill, and I'm gonna try to fit in all of the ass skills.

I'm downloading this now, any advice for party creation?

Downloading Wasteland 2 and drinking whiskey.

No ****. I find it hilarious that a group of largely white straight dudes drone on and on about representation of women and minorities while doing **** all about getting more women and minorities into whatever is in question. I suppose its easier to take offense at the lack of minority people at a panel than to support products made by actual minority artists. I mean if you wanted to get more women into gaming, wouldn't supporting the games made by women be a better move than spinning a narrative of how gaming is hostile to women? Wouldn't highlighting women who have succeeded in the industry be a better motivator than whipping out statistics and proceeding to vigorously wag your finger at an I'll-defined target? How about at least not trying to sabotage groups like TFYC who are trying to do something about it? That would be a nice start, but from their statements I would assume that they would want to take a more active role than not doing any harm. *shrug* See, I think this is very true. I'm guessing that mainstream media coverage of gamergate will wane soon as it goes on to focus on something else, and the conversation will be between gamergate supporters who were thrown to the wolves and the writers who threw them to the wolves. Hyperbole yes, but I do think most actions of the gaming press have inflamed gamergate supporters rather than calming them down or getting them to back off. Accusations of misogyny or hatred directed at gamergate won't get it to back down because one of the main concerns I've seen most gamergate supporters share is that gaming media is unethical and that they use the guise of social justice to shield themselves from accusations of being unethical. So gaming press calling them misogynistic while dismissing their ethical concerns is going to piss them off and reinforce the idea that gaming press does not want to face accusations of unethical behavior, which is what happened. I believe that if dialogue does not happen, which is looking less likely, this flame war will just keep going and going. A big reason while I pretty much walked away from gamergate is that I no longer believe the gaming press is capable of abiding a standard of ethics and is piss poor anyways. When their gamergate articles became a circle jerk of quoting each other's blog posts and the most "proof" they can muster in support of their argument are tweets from the likes of "DuckScholar" and entries in ED, I seriously question their standards as journalists. I've been told by quite a few friends, real life and from internet forums, that gamergate was a waste of time because videogame journalism is crap and no amount of polishing will make it anything but a turd. At this point, I'm convinced that they're right and have no idea why I keep coming back and haven't just embraced the apathy. I wish this wasn't the case. I honestly hoped that gamergate would lead to more ethical gaming journalism and that discussions of representation in video games could have have occurred without finger-pointing and petty attacks. I want it so that whoever wants to play or make videogames is able to do so and is judged solely by their ability to play or make them. I want a wide market, where everything from Hatred to Dear Esther(I think both of these games are dumb personally) has a place and artists aren't shamed for their work because someone disagrees with it. I'm a 22 year-old man who has played video games since childhood and ****ing loves them. I find it sad that I have no credible news source for a hobby I spend a significant amount of my time and energy on, and that the news sources that exist think I'm part of an angry mob of white males trying to oppress women and minorities. Sorry for the wall o' text, I'm going to play video games and get drunk.

If I would hazard a guess: "have as the foundation for (something); use as a point from which (something) can develop." I'd suppose it is because that Sommers showed support to GamerGate and is kinda mom-ish.

Way to miss the point.Well he did play for the Vikings.

But DA2 didn't let you use it, IIRC. Then again why do you need a whorehouse when you have Isabella, same number of VDs. That's nasty to say anything bad about the angelic, virtuous and noble Isabella...she was so beautiful

Hitting the spirits again? Cuz I never stopped.

She looks like a librarian from my high school. Maybe she just has lots of time on her hands.

Are there any scientologist game review sites? I want to make sure my Thetans are good.

Well Bio has earned a pre-order from me.

I got the results for my midterms and they are surprisingly great. YEAH BITCH!

The inversions from Marvel's Axis event are spreading to gaming sites.

Bioware: Don't waste your time.

I'm sorry, but if someone honestly feels spited by charity donations, they can **** right off. If I got someone angry and they decided to donate to hall starving children or something in response, outrage would certainly not be on my mind. The mindset and hubris of these people is completely alien to me.

Oh come on, this can't be a real thing. This has to be a joke. Mr. Biscuit is just pulling our collective legs here, right? Even the SJWs couldn't possibly be delusional enough to make claims about weaponized charity, could they? Did you miss that? He's not, they said it a couple days ago. I didn't think to link it cause....well on one hand I understand what they're trying to say, on the other though TotalBiscuit has a point in that I think any NORMAL human being who felt spited by charity donations would not actually be upset or feel harassed, and be able to say "at least some good came of this" instead of lambasting the other side for....well, donating (or "weaponizing" as they call it) to a charity. I mean if I were to make a statement like "donating money to starving kids in Africa is a lost cause and a waste of time and money" and it drove one of you to try and prove me wrong by donating millions to the cause, then you'd think the focal point would be that'd you'd be glad to be proven wrong rather than "omg how dare he bruise my ego." EDIT: Found the source, I think. There might be more: http://i.imgur.com/71crK11.png So giving money to an anti-bullying charity is a badly concealed assault on women? That......just doesn't make sense.

I dunno, am I sexist cuz I think Benedict Cumberbatch's face looks like a crumpled milk jug?

Doxxing is where you find personal information on someone(like address, phone number, work place, etc.) and publish it in a public place.

I would love to see her in a debate with TotalBiscuit. Has she even been in a televised debateto begin with? No.

I find it hilarious that these folks are advocating for the same things Jack Thompson did. Also, those images described as "shocking" could be out of a few action movies, not sure why its such a big deal.

Nazanin Boniadi She is gorgeous. I think her being part Native American gives her a very exotic quality that is sexy as hell.

Interesting... Tell me more about this...Edem place. It's a sex club where you can sex up grandmothers while babies watch. Pictures of Putin adorn the place as well.
