Except... the whole company WASN'T crippled. See the last paragraph before the update.

It wasn't "an entire game." She deleted some marketing materials and marketing data. Which... if one employee was able to do that, their data retention program is horrible and they deserved it.

If only attorneys could control their clients that much... You can ADVISE them to do something. You can't stop them from running their mouths and digging themselves deeper in the hole.

Nah, but he probably tells his buddies that they have better looking nipples than he does.

The "deposit all collectibles" button is the BEST THING EVER. As is sharing the bank/collectibles between characters on an account. I love that I don't have to micromanage my bag slots nearly as much, or worry about how to send things over to my alt. ANet really took a look at what frustrates players and worked to…

The Norn "got drunk, blacked out" storyline is super fun! Apparently, you stole a Charr tank and went joyriding. Whoops? I suppose if you were playing a more serious character it wouldn't work so well, but I enjoyed the dialogue between my character and her drinking buddy. Rough paraphrasing:

I don't know if you remember, but 2008 was when unemployment rates started to skyrocket. It must be nice to not have to worry about getting a job, but not all of us can just walk away from a paycheck.

"Learning to deal with assholes is far more productive than alienating a whole demographic,"

You've got some baggage that you're reading into this article, don'tcha?

If you all want to see an example of a company doing it right, take a look at Arena Net's Reddit thread on suspensions. They have an awesome zero-tolerance policy towards offensive names and speech... and if you ask why you were suspended, they'll quote the exact words used. Having specific examples of what won't be…

The other Jezzie linked to the motion test. Here's the link to the color test. http://www.bsd-journal.com/content/pdf/2042-6410-3-21.pdf

That, and/or a strong belief that you're living in your own RomCom movie. "Look at all these people here for ME! They're dancing for OUR LOVE! We're the cutest couple EVER!" ... which is only reinforced by random local news channels covering your flashmob proposal or getting contacted by the NYT for an article.

The article linked to by Jezebel doesn't mention sample size or testing methods, but the actual scientific paper is called, "Sex and Vision II: Color appearance of monochromatic lights." That doesn't sound like looking at a computer screen.

The color thing isn't completely sociological. The same mutation that makes color blindness more common in men actually makes some women able to see a greater range of color. Google "tetrachromat." Super interesting stuff.

Saw the Borderlands talk/demo at PAX. They definitely weren't playing with Maya's hands in first person.

Mmph, they'd probably ignore his actions and slut shame her for never marrying Eastwood, 'cause clearly he'd have been a model husband/father if she'd refused to put out until he put a ring on it.

I dunno. The fact that she reflectively added a "I'm a pig" at least shows that she's aware she was objectifying that woman and that she should be ashamed on some level. Though, you're right, the fact that Kosoy is a huge Richardson fan means that she's also a jerk.

Bwahaha! You've made my morning.

Problem with your statement is that the actress they hired has done little besides Pokemon. And prior to doing Pokemon (which, let's not kid ourselves, is a bigger franchise than Assassin's Creed), she'd done... nothing. So clearly, it's not like they were trying for someone with years of experience or anything like…

I have a soft spot for the intro to Stranger Than Fiction. Maybe more magical realism than sci-fi/fantasy... but it's still awesome.
