  1. ... ...that is some bulls***... I know, we should invade those maple loving sons of bitches and make them celebrate real Thanksgiving.
  2. You'll get off your arse and, just like that, make a game which realistically would take millions of dollars and many months to make even for an existing developer/publisher who already has all the necessary human capital and infrastructure? And you'll do this by yourself, in your spare time on a weekend? Come on now, I know there is lots to be criticised about Sarkeesian's videos (from the pre-determined conclusions, cherry-picking, and general intellectual dishonesty, to the offensiveness of her - and other feminists culture warrior's - underlying presumption that society can and should be made a better place by policing & censoring media content that men like to consume). But lamenting that game developers/publishers don't make games sufficiently to one's liking, isn't in and of itself objectionable. Gamers do that too, like, all the time. In fact it's probably the main raison d'être of many gaming related online communities. Making your dream game yourself, simply isn't realistic unless you've chosen that career path. If folks like Anita want to see games that mesh with their worldview made, organizing a small dev team and doing a kickatarter isn't as much of a hurdle as getting the funding for a AAA size game. Recording poorly researched preach sessions that (falsely) illustrate how hostile games are to women sates the internet activists, but does **** all at providing a solution to the problems they have with games.
  3. I must say that Anita's public views are quite moderate Her views paraphrased by me "I want developer's use less tropes, especially those I see to be degrading towards women" "I want developer's to use more active female protagonists" "I want more games that don't focus so much on violence" "I think using tropes that I think to be sexist and not giving women as many active roles as men shows that our society is still leans towards patriarchy" "I want/hope that game developers start to make more games for my tastes" Her vision for what direction games as medium and art form should develop don't wholly correspond with my vision, but I don't think that her vision is anyway radical. The issue comes about in two seperate ways: 1) Anita CAN be radical. Find a video she did on sexist Christmas songs. Have fun with it. 2) Anita lies. Check how she misrepresents Fallout New Vegas (and others) in her women as backround decoration video. Those two combined, you actually start to wonder if there aren't ulterior motives, moreso with the second one than the first. Either she's soooo radical she pulls ridiculous claims out of thin air here and there (unlikely, as other times she IS quite reasonable), or the girl honestly is just trying to profit off of this situation she's found herself in, leading to profit > truth and thus she'll do misleading or half-assed pieces to gain profit. I'm replaying New Vegas right now and do not feel encouraged to gun down random women. I think if someone feels New Vegas encourages you to do that, it says more about them than about the game.
  4. Neither. Thrown, bladed, brawling, or blunt. Why? No ammunition.* *note: thrown weapons have ammunition, but you could pick up almost anything to throw, making ammo almost unlimited. I'd go explosives. Extremely limited, but extremely effective. Stockpiling explosives, or learning to make them, can get you into serious trouble. If it's legal trouble, I doubt I'll have to worry about that after the apocalypse. Besides, I'd rather have plenty of grenades with me if we get mutated animals or robots.
  5. So I'm about to purchase this. Should I play it now or wait until patches are released?

  7. In the advent of an apocalypse, energy weapons or guns?
  8. Has there been any m+kb gameplay footage yet?
  9. I'm impressed how intelligent and mature these SJWs are.
  10. That is pretty much every Sunday for me. Liquor stores are closed then as well.
  11. ... The double standards these people have require a level of doublethink I didn't believe was possible.
  12. Then respond to TN's points, instead of doing drive-by finger-wagging. Here they are: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/68931-drama-in-indy-gaming-and-games-journalism/page-7?do=findComment&comment=1522053
  13. You made excellent points on why that Verge article isn't valid. I didn't have the strength for that and instead lashed out. I'm sorry. But do think Bruce will reply to your points? No. He will simply go silent for few pages and then come back when the next "gamers are dead" article is posted: "Oh, look! All those valid points this article is making." *Smiley face* kirottu must have a crystal ball.
  14. Had a **** day and am very close to flying into a homicidal rage. I'm going to listen to Funhouse and kill some **** in video games to calm down.
  15. No, it means we will work for lil' Hitler until we are dissolved by him.
  16. I'm saving bottlecaps in case of apocalypse. Hopefully someone creates power armor and gauss weapons by then.
  17. A party of Volo, Gromnir, oby, Bruce, Monte Carlo, and someone else would be great.
  18. What if you're on the fence and want more info? To go with this, have any abilities been revealed for specializations? Playing an Arcane Warrior in DAO was fun and it would be great to know what the new analogue is like.
  19. I take my investigation of all sources and articles very seriously. I will be looking into the matter of whether or not Tara Strong is a p0rn star or not. I found a Tara Strong who does VA stuff and has fake bewbs. No pornstar though.
  20. Am I the only one who thinks that a group composed almost entirely of white men using white male as an insult is strange? Edited cause lack of morning caffeine.
  21. I think the journalists are just mad because they aren't getting paid as much.
  22. Monte has fallen.
  23. Southpaw Knights of the Obsidian Order.
  24. Black Mask just announced a load of interesting titles. http://blackmaskstudios.com/2014/10/08/welcome-to-black-mask-2-0/ Sinatoro is finally happening!
  25. Today I have to work and will probably pass out from exhaustion when I get home Did you lose your hand or something?
