Oby, for where art thou?
In the US we prefer to spread our propaganda the old fashioned way, through high quality movies and popular video games.

Hero-U Kickstarter
We had a thread for the original kickstarter, and I lobbied for support back then. Even though I sympathize with their plight, I can't in good conscience jump on board again when they are running a second round without producing any real results. That being said, they aren't far from their goal. I dropped $75 on them last time. I'm not sure if I really wish them luck, I consider my payment good for the memories. :/

Do Women Earn Less Than Men?
When my wife was pregnant with our second child, her principal set everything up as if she was not going to return to her job after she gave birth. He basically went behind her back and had her replaced. Thankfully she is represented by a union and was able to stand her ground. Eventually it was the principal who was replaced. The crazy thing is she gave birth two days after school got out, and was ready to return at the beginning of the year. She did not miss a day. I doubt a male teacher would ever have to go through that. That being said, we make the same amount as teachers.

Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
I've never understood the aversion to positive stereotypes. You would think that would be something worth owning. As a white guy with a bit of an unknown cultural heritage, I can only wish I had some decent stereotypes to lean on.

Personally, I prefer playing black people. They have better rhythm. Plus in real life I have a nice round butt, and most white avatar's are flat asses.

Pro Hoops 2K14-2K15
Gotta hope Kyrie Irving is ok, you hate to see an injury like that. From the Warriors perspective, if they can get up by 10, I don't see how Cleveland can come back. The Rockets were super dangerous and cut down a lot of leads, but I just don't see how the Cavs can generate quick points when they need them.

Disney lays off workers, makes them train their foregin replacements
While unfortunate, the alternative is much worse. Are you going to force a company to keep the more expensive work force? The best bet here is to use the media to exert pressure on Disney, which is what is happening. Disney will need to weigh the bad publicity against the savings in the future.

Very few people would have cared if Jack Thompson was just making arguments. He filed lawsuits and pushed for legislation to change the industry.

Pillars of Eternity-Kent State University survey
Not the one in Ohio. Although North Carolina does have a Duke.

That little Kung Fury game is about 30 seconds. Granted it is super replayable, but it would be hard to imagine spending two hours on it. But it's only $2, so I can't imagine droves of people returning it.

I feel a bit like a broken record, but my kids loved Hotel Transylvania, and they are the target demographic. Actually I think Mike Meyers deserves prison more than Adam Sandler. Although they both have their share of crimes against humanity.

Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry
Did he have a stockpile of weapons? Did he draw up plans for an attack? Was there a legitimate motive? That is the type of stuff detectives are supposed to find in order to actually prosecute someone.

It is more of a red flag that the guy needs help. I agree that sending him to prison serves no one. But really it's just another sad indication of how feeble our mental health care industry is.

Yikes, the guy even talked about going on a school shooting spree.

I'm curious which journalists actually said "Don't buy this sick filth!" about Hatred.

Hey, we might get another Sixth Sense some day.

I'll stick with Saint's Row for my over the top violence. It is tremendously more clever than what I've seen of Hatred.

What's on the idiot box Part 4 (or something)
I caught the first two episodes of Wayward Pines. It was good, no one pulls off the unlikeable yet charming like Matt Dillon. I hope it doesn't end lame.
