I don’t think anyone doubts that this sort of thing is going to happen, it was just handed very terribly.

If the NFL held the Superbowl, and then in April said “oh, no new season btw, kthx bye” people in that industry would be floored. That was their job, their livelihood. I think a lot of commenters are treating it…

I completely get what you’re saying, but I read an account on Twitter from a popular Youtuber/streamer in response to all this that gave me pause. She started dating a fellow Youtuber and some of her fans got pissed. They would send nasty messages to her boyfriend, there was a constant background noise of harassment,…

Well, she showed up on her own ship, right?

So technically, she could’ve taken the guardian’s ship and left Tony with whatever she stole from Thanos.

For me, personally, it was they were a safe target to make fun of. They were weird. They were different. I didn’t know any. So they were easy marks to make fun of. I didn’t think of it that way, I just thought they were weird and made fun of them.

And then I found one of my co-worker’s fursona on Facebook.

And then I…

Is it working for you currently? Mine is currently busted, though I’m not sure if it’s due to firewall settings at work. I went over to the_donald and not a single person flagged.

Well, regardless of the article and whether the comment should have been left in or not, that’s only one example. There’s a Chrome Add-in, Masstagger, that will let you auto tag people with more than X posts in a definable set of subreddits.   And that’s just the two that I know about.  

Here’s an example of how this is done.

I love the series, but “even those were the days before everyone’s hearts were in everyone else’s and time travel.” is the best summation of the series I’ve ever seen.

And that’s not even mentioning the trainwreck that KHUX brings to the continuity.

You take that back.  Don’t put that out there in the universe.

The counter argument for that is two fold:

1.) With a CCG you’re getting a physical product with an actual re-sale value. With a digital loot box you’re stuck with digital goods that you cannot reuse in any way shape or form.  You often can’t even trade it in for the thing you actually do want.

2.) Yeah, maybe.

This is definitely an interesting subject. No one stays on top forever, the question is this a rebuilding time for Blizzard or is this the sign of a steady decline?

I just saw a youtube video the other day that talked about how a lot of Blizzard vets were leaving the company due to a bonus scale restructuring and a…

Are the starter decks standardized? I was under the impression that they were random as well.  Looks like I was wrong, that’s a bit disappointing as it increases the barrier of entry by a few $$$.

I’m really curious about this game, next time I’m at my LCG I’ll have to see if they have it.

This case infuriates me. I mean, the basic stuff about how this was over $1.50, an address of a guy not even involved, the swatting itself... all that is *terrible*.

But the part that pushes it over the edge for me is that Officer Justin Rapp faced no consequences as a result of this. I don’t even know that he got…

Even Kaplan called him Hammond in the interview, that’s great.

I would guess this is a pretty clear divide where Nintendo of Japan did something without thinking much about it (pulling an animation from the source material), Nintendo of America didn’t notice right away.

They’re owning it, apologizing for it, and removing it. I think it’s good to have this story about it, but I…

Oh man, I’m of two minds on this. On one hand, I think giving Sylvanas & Jaina more to do in WC3 would be great.

However, I’ve seen how the writing staff treats them both in WoW and I’m scared of what ‘more to do’ might end up entailing.

Oof. We’ve said for decades that we want games to be treated seriously as media, that they’re just as deserving of praise as movies, television, print, and other forms of art.

Well, this is part of that evolution.  Overdue.

There’s going to be a Super Mario animated film? How did I sleep on this?

Man, my wife loves those games.

I never thought I’d be reading an expose into the mismanagement of ‘That Nancy Drew game company’.

I’m going to toss my two cents into the overcrowded opinion fountain.

My opinion is based on two main points:
1.) Gamers are over-reacting, that’s kind of their thing.
