Occasionally, as she went through these suggestions, Sarkeesian would mention counter-arguments. For example, she said that impractically-sexualized costumes communicate that a female character's "value and worth is tied to ability to arouse straight young men." But she added that some of her critics say that male…

As much as I agree with the "more more more because awesome!"-mentality, this is one of those games where I can agree that enough is enough. I mean, to call the game huge and diverse to the point of insanity would do injustice to these aspects of the game. Would it be a good idea to look into implementation by the…

- "Laugh-or-I-shoot"-humor
- Forced humor
- Radically unfunny humor
Etc. etc. Plenty to replace it with :p I still disagree with you, but I can see where you're coming from. It really is a matter of taste.

Your post hurts me physically, and not because of nostalgia :'(

Can someone tell me what motivates publishes to pull the plug on long-running projects like this? I mean, if the dev worked on it for three years, a considerable amount of money already went into it and it's probably mostly done. Why not stick it out and recoup losses by getting it on store shelves instead of just…

GoG also supports PayPal if you're more comfortable with that, I think they offer some region-specific options as well. Out of interest, though: if you don't use your credit card online, then when and how do you use it? Just asking out of interest, in my country debit cards are the default and credit cards a sort of…

Then I'm afraid you haven't been looking hard enough, brother. Unless you meant "we need more games like it", in which case I definitely agree.

I agree with you, I actually received a new iPod Touch today after my previous one gave up the ghost. Tried to play music on my phone, but it just wasn't the same and the battery drained way fast. Held out for a few months, back to iPod, and life is good again. Never expected that to happen, I'll be honest.

I like Kindle. Rolls off the tongue easily, makes sense as ironic reference to paper, etc. Normally I'm allergic to silly names and such, but Kindle I like a lot.

Cinema chain Pathé already has something like this in the Netherlands. I pay €26,- per month for max two movies a day, including IMAX / 3D, at any Pathé cinema in my country. Pretty nice, I've noticed I take much more risks on movies I wouldn't normally watch.

As a popculture critic myself I've often wondered how this works. I've reviewed movies / games / music where I've found I really like it, only for my colleagues to collectively slam it on grounds that I frankly find irrelevant. Same works in reverse, with things being praised until the saliva is dripping off of it…

"It was kind of disappointing for them to come to the realisation that they didn't need to end his life to end his reign... and then finish him anyways. Fatality! Democracy Wins!"

You might want to put some commas in that run-on sentence there, it really is incomprehensible. I think there's a good question buried there though, so if you edit it I'd be interested.

Nearly all the reviews I've seen use negative hyperboles like candy at a fat kid's birthday party, it's starting to look suspicious. The movie was indeed pretty good, not earthshattering but I had a really good time. Does that mean I'm wrong, or does it just confirm that most movie journalists have a degree in pissing…

I'm not sure if my wording was a bit wonky then (it really might have been, not a native speaker and such), but what I only said in general is that I hate it when it's flaunted - nowhere pointing to Notch and his swankmansion. Looking at it again I can definitely see the context blurring the meaning though, so I…

No star for you, considering you made a very decent argument (yet partly without relation to my post: I didn't say he flaunts it and admitted my own jealousy openly), righteously pointing out I have it relatively well, yet afterwards calling me a crybaby. That said, you raise good points - it's one of the reasons why…

I highly doubt if I'll ever have an infinity pool, being a scientist in the field I'm aiming for isn't exactly a wealthy pursuit. Then again, I'd rather do something I like for a living and scrape by but be satisfied, than work a job I hate but have the ability to buy enough coke and hookers to snort the unhappiness…

That's the thing: I didn't judge Notch at all, nowhere in my post. If anything I admitted my own jealousy and bitterness, while commenting on the ridiculousness of 6k dollar toilets. It's interesting that people attack me for that and see things I didn't say, to be honest, you're not the only one that seems to see…

Don't say that too loud, or you'll be branded a socialist. Or even redder: a communist!

I wish more people in these comment threads would see this post. I was also hit by a car that didn't pay attention, I got off light with no permanent damage but it forever ingrained the image in my mind of a big hunk of metal moving at the speed of death. Every time I see a reckless driver on the road, that's my first…
