Suggestion for next game - Supernatural themed RPG or MMO.

*cough*alanshu*cough* Considering Alan talked openly about his work for Bioware, I am guessing you don't understand what a shill is. He also left since everyone decides to get on his case about his job. Kind of sad that people make a developer feel that unwelcome, given that he is one of the few that can give actual insight on the way games are made.- WTF is wrong with Obsidian?

Most of the police departments in my area are training all the time. The amount of training hours they actually have to fulfill in a year is borderline ridiculous. That being said, I see a number of areas for improvement on what is being trained. De-escalation should be a priority.- Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
It was drawn by Kate Beaton: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Beaton Considering her other comics, i think that it is a tungue-and-cheek joke. She's more of a based mom-feminist. Ah, context and voice can be important. That's good to know. It wasn't signed, from what I can tell, so I had no idea who it was.- What are you playing now?
Hah, you guys are all terrible parents, there was no way I was going to give that kid a knife.- What are you playing now?
Sure, and you found that emotionally engaging - what, just because they toss a kid into the harbour ? Shame I spoke to his mom before wasting the guys that killed him though, seems I couldn't tell her he was avenged that way (though assuming it can be done) There is a bit more to it than that: So enjoy your edgy apathetic attitude that you so carefully cultivate here, but in this scenario is seems rather depressing that you missed out on a strong moment of storytelling.- Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
Whoever drew that comic has as many psychological issues as an angry feminist.- What are you playing now?
Never ends well being a white knight, I guess Ok, Mr. Apathy.- WTF is wrong with Obsidian?

I just did a quest about a boy named Derrin in PoE. Wow. One of the more emotionally engaging moments I've had in a game, for sure.- I appreciate you, Obsidian.
I haven't had any bugs and the game is just amazing. It's my new favorite world!- Hey Oby!
Now I'm wondering how we got downgraded from the philosophical Lord of Flies to the girls gone wild Oby.- You Know Who Else Hates Freedom?
- Dragon Age: Inquisition
It does play best with a controller, but other than that it is a very good game that improves greatly on DA2. It suffers from having a bit too much to do, actually. You'll burn yourself out trying to finish all the side stuff, but the main story and cast of characters are pretty entertaining. It also looked great on my PC, even better than it did on my PS4.- Islamists kill 147 in Kenya
It's difficult to get a sustained movement in Western countries over issues in places like Africa and the Middle East because of the inability to really affect what is happening. The Bring Back Our Girls movement swept the US, received a ton of attention, but after a month it was out of the media and no progress was made. That's a tough thing for anyone to swallow, so it shouldn't be surprising when the Western Media stays away from this stuff. It's a scenario of helplessness.- Islamists kill 147 in Kenya
I think it is more of the fact there isn't much to discuss on the extremist violence topic that hasn't been said. It's evil, we need it to stop, not many of us are in a position to do so. The Kansas legislation is simply more debatable, and on a national level it is something that can be changed through activism.- PoE - Sales figures STEAM
I doubt Obsidian is a publically traded company. They are way too small.- Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
I just don't think you guys understand how proofreading really happens. What were there, 1000 of these things?- Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
I'm sure the vetting process is fairly mind numbing as well. There are a lot of those gravestones, I lost interest after a dozen.- Police Abuse of Uber Driver in New York City
Just to show that there are some examples of accountability out there: http://news.yahoo.com/3-san-francisco-officers-face-suspensions-over-racist-161326414.html- You just overloaded your own servers
I agree with you about ignoring the crazy people that want to boycott the game and the developers.- You just overloaded your own servers
Then why remove it ? Why keep it?- PATRIARCHY
- You just overloaded your own servers
The limerick wasn't their own content. It wasn't even very creative, and it literally makes zero impact on the game. These are reasons that that calls for censorship were ridiculous, but they are also reasons why being upset about the removal are ridiculous. You are pretty much sinking to the level of the people that bother you. - Hey Oby!
