Indeed, "guys," rendered acceptable for the male gaze through emasculation and feminization. These "men" are included to make these pictures seem acceptable to the complacent and the unobservant, but those of us who are attuned to the plight of women in a society of male entitlement can see that it affects all who…

Of course it's only fitting that a MAN would hold the camera, capture the picture, and with it, immortalize his lusty gaze. He controls every angle, every perspective, every setting and prop. He controls how we perceive the woman, down to her very ethos, and how we as a society should judge her. Even her body is…

Oh Japan

What the fuck is going on in Manly Guys Doing Manly Things

You don't get to say "EA is like the evil empire and Valve is like the rebel alliance" and then tell me I'm biased. Just, no.

And you've got nothing coming. You think I'm a troll and I think you're an insufferable moron. Not a productive combo. So stop buying EA games and fill the void in your spare time with incessant bitching about Origin. I'd say you deserve it.

The point about infrastructure is ludicrous - the point of a learning curve (with ANY company) is that existing infrastructure doesn't translate (directly) into new ventures. EA has a massive infrastructure dedicated to selling games on hardware discs, too. Why is that a justification for demanding perfect execution…

I don't know how to point out any more clearly the hypocrisy in demanding that EA maximize its distribution channels while not demanding the same from Steam. Steam is better for the time being, because Steam is a long-time incumbent. Origin will improve over time; in the meantime EA is using its competitive…

And yet, again, you don't complain about exclusivity for Valve (and even plenty of third party!) games on Steam. Valve is not the underdog in Digital Distribution. They are a fiercely competitive incumbent doing their damnedest to put smaller channels out of business (as they should). They're not the fucking…

Everything is Spyware

Steam has had years to navigate the digital distribution learning curve. Origin at its release is considerably better than Steam at its release, and I think it's technically still in Beta. Over time, with EA's resources, it will achieve parity with or superiority to Steam's service. In the meantime, offering…

Don't complain about Origin exclusivity unless you're similarly prepared to complain about Steam exclusivity. We should all be excited for a potentially strong competitor to Steam in the digital distribution business - even if we continue to use Steam.

The difference between the concept art and the final product is, indeed, pretty soul-crushing

There are JRPG's out there that are WAY more open than FFXII

Medal of Honor: Motherboy

Are you kidding? EA has been a huge innovator this generation, much more so than Activision or any of the one-trick ponies like Take-Two, Bethesda, etc. Don't judge it on the basis of its copycat series, which never really do that well anyways.

As you see, I've got biceps to spare

I'd agree they're into the gluts, but this is staring into the abyss

I laughed, but surely the guy can't be serious? I don't think many rich, successful people are obsessed with being the Mayor of their respective workplaces.
