Nice strawman. Sarkeesian comes across more like Tipper Gore during the Parental Advisory movement, claiming that depictions in art influence real-world behavior, despite no hard evidence to back it up.

Actually the whole "games are art" thing was pushed by journalist and reviewers who yearned to be taken "seriously". The gamers were too busy gaming.

The thing I don't really get here, is that she says there are tons of different outlets for people to release games now, so why she calling out big names like Grand Theft Auto and saying women need to fight for inclusion? Include yourself. Go make some fucking games, or inspire other people to make games. All I've…

She had been called out so many times for cherry picking, lying and twisting facts that to even consider her a member of academia is funny.

Exactly, if those idiots had all just shut their stupid mouths in the first place, she'd still be pitching her ideas to a very small group of feminist academics. The only thing the trolls have done is give her a platform far wider than the validity of her arguments, great job dipshits.

One of the worst things to come out of gamergate is that it gave her validity in the eyes of those that don't know better. Apart from the obviously vile attacks and threats, it's the single worst thing to come out of this whole debacle. Her arguments and conclusions are so flimsy that she could have been argued into…

Oh man, I love Colbert, but hate people that cherry pick data to further a political agenda using my favorite medium as the punching bag.


-I feel a bit queasy and sad.

These articles always make me feel like crap but this ones extra. Why dish out false hope like that? I've heard that kinda overly optimistic crap before and no matter how much you believe it all you're doing is telling a kid that santa exists :(

Has Gamer Gate every explicitly condoned threats against female developers and journalists/critics?

Woo! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

5 years development time is bang on average to be honest.
The only problem here is Sony announced it a bit earlier than they should have.
Even if (and it was) the game started development years prior for the ps3, the time it takes to translate that into a polished PS4 game is not that long for an average cycle.

The…

If collecting figures is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

That assumes all Star Trek fans are fans of that last entry in the series, which this Star Trek fan is decidedly not. The franchise has certainly had low spots over every era of its existence, but for me Star Trek Into Darkness is my second-least-favorite production ever out of all episodes and movies in Trek history…

If it's like the first Mortal Kombat movie, I'm in.

If it's like the second Mortal Kombat movie, I'm out.

And that is why you pirate. The biggest fuck you to DLC possible.

Ouch. I was super gung-ho about buying this game tonight after all of the glowing praise from reviews here and elsewhere, but this DLC "season pass" crap is really getting out of hand. I'm torn between wanting to play what seems to be a fun game, and buying into this excuse to release an incomplete game and/or wring…

I barely even got through that game on the 360 the final area's really punish you. That is very impressive for most games let alone a franchise synonymous with difficulty.

I miss those games, too sad I'm unable to get them for ps2 as they are quite expensive

These kittens must be male, because you know, including female kittens would have caused the production of this video to be way over budget.
