I know what I'm supposed to take from this, but like too many snarky articles, it had me going "but...but". Innovate with HL3 and finish the story, a story which isn't quite as derivative as the article makes it out to be, heck expand on the story in the third one. Considering most modern big name FPS still don't…

As I have stated, symmetry was the wrong word to use. I apologize for calling your criticism "splitting of hairs", I was wrong on that.

Perhaps symmetry was the wrong word to use here but at this point we're really just talking past each/splitting hairs.

Oh yeah, I def. agree that is what it is here. I think you are right that things are muddled here, but as you have mentioned before, there does seem to be a symmetry between those operating out of ignorance/hate and those operating out of progressive ideals, those would be the sides I guess, but I think you're right,…

Although I agree that there are a fair number of opinions here informed by ignorance/hate, I don't think that a discussion about the proper terms for trans individuals or about trans issues would essentially have to be "a discussion between those who are right/progressive and those who are ignorant hateful". That's…

I guess my point is that since it is a free for all the board will essentially just be a Rorschach. People will congregate around the top comments that reflect their view, or that they wish to attack the most, and the sheer number of comments means it becomes increasingly hard to have nuance. Those comments with the…

Yeah, it has escalated an insane amount, free-for-all is probably best way to describe it.

I'm divided about the grey thing. I def. think it would be better if it were better defined/easier to get out of the grey. I really believe the ability to unilaterally dismiss replies though is a terrible idea.

Its a shame because, although as I have posted (of course, its grey though), the presenter's story of things is different, I do believe that if things happened the way Laura says then she is justified in her response.

However, the issue of nomenclature regarding trans individuals is really complicated and all these…

I too posted the same quote from their article earlier and I guess they dismissed my reply too. Another wonderful, relaxing Sunday at Kotaku.

Millward has responded to the issue according to the following website http://www.purexbox.com/news/2013/09/e…:

That's not what the article you linked to says?

"The term may include but is not limited to: transsexuals, cross-dressers and other gender-variant people. Transgender people may identify as female-to-male (FTM) or male-to-female (MTF). Use the descriptive term (transgender, transsexual, cross-dresser, FTM or MTF)…

Actually there was at least one such complaint, the one from Huntington W.V.

I like Dan

Hey, quick question to anyone who might still be here on the discussion board. Could I get into this without any prior knowledge of the Marvel universe? I was always a Vertigo, graphic novel kind of guy but this sounds pretty interesting, those panels piqued my attention.

The backpacks they are wearing do release pressure (for lack of a better world) to stabilize them. Look at 0:19 , you can see the pack working as he is shooting.

At least that's how I'm justifying it.

Oh, I realize that's Chris Hardwick.

I'm referring to the recent Ouya article Owen wrote today (as well as the Xbox One one) in which he generally seemed to be having a bad day. Something he later confirmed in a comment (kinda). I was thinking that a topical shop swapping out Hardwick and Chloe and replacing them with…

Shop contest? Sad Owen making out with an Ouya? Obligatory Miley Cyrus shop?

I remember when I got that done I was soooo out of it with the drugs. I tried to lay in my bed and play some Fallout. Later, when the drugs were fully worn off, I booted it back up and found myself in some town somewhere, no recollection of how I had gotten there.

To reiterate Jason's point, take heart knowing that if they don't recognize your good work, that is ironically, a sign of your good work.

The Infamous series, at least to me, has actually been a pretty good example of how one does notice bad sound design. Running around the crafted cities of those games, particularly…
