The running theme of this interview....

No, Halo fans do not “win” the lack of any real local MP is a terrible and ridiculous blow. How can I justify paying $60 for a MP heavy game if I cant play with my friends?!

Ms. Pac-Man IS better, but it’d be ridiculous to induct the sequel before the original.

Either a “radfem” or a very bored spastic who lives with mommy and has no determinable penis to fuck anybody with.

You can’t see it because no one lived to tell the tale.

I'm confused because we have the same position on this matter but you seem to think you are disagreeing with me.

? But this is about a woman that thinks she is owed being eaten out. There was no argument that guys are entitled to being blown. That she wants it only one way is her prerogative. But it also reflects that she's just a shitty person.

I mean, I guess. But would you feel the same way about a man who refuses to go down on his wife/girlfriend?

I like this character, she's where she belongs...

The intersection between fiction and user experience is an important one, though.

In a film, it would be totally believable (within the Halo world building, anyhow) for a Spartan to fire as accurately from the hip as a human sniper would do from a well-secured, sighted position.

In a game, though, where interactivity is…

A childish move? Sure, but I can understand where he was coming from. When you're the top mod of a major forum covering a dedicated topic, and that topic has done nothing for two days but kick your ass and cause the subreddit to be flooded with screenshots of long queue times, I can see the need for a short break.

I'm sure he was talking about that "Gamergate" nonsense, but what he's describing is basically the Internet, every day, everywhere.

Anyone who plays video games — particularly fighting games — starts as a novice. Competitive gamers call them scrubs. But the term 'scrub' has a negative connotation, and it doesn't apply to all novice gamers — just those who partake in 'cheap' strategies.

The Tekken games set their auto-block to high and mid; they demanded a manual input to block anything low. Eddy, incidentally, loved to hit low. Many of Eddy's combos were unblockable if the first kick connected. And even if my opponent blocked the entire sequence, the defensive chip damage was considerable. Combine…

I don't know what's up with the advertising. They're on a different floor and I, appropriately, seldom communicate with then. I did hear that Mercedes wasn't an advertiser for the company, but I don't really know. There have been Gamergate campaigns to contact our advertisers for weeks, mostly due to Luke's "we could…

As well-intentioned as you might be, your wishes for this to simply "be over" are ruined by virtue of your call for peace being a non-starter; you don't get to say you're tired of the whole thing and then in the same breath, resort to the tired straw-man which continues to perpetuate the argument.

We have zero evidence to suggest she didn't send the bomb threats herself, and yet that seems like a perfectly reasonable assumption to make despite having zero evidence to the contrary.

The thing I don't get about this sudden epiphany of cynicism everyone is having is what the hell are you comparing this game to?

Get. Over. It. Wearing clothing and accessories inspired by a culture does not automatically debase that culture. It's a fundamentally neutral act.
