There is definitely a Maker quote in the first ME, first mission, you can open one of these pods or bunkers if you hack the lock successfully and the person inside claims "Thank the Maker."

Easter Eggs of this manner are generally fun -because- they hint at things being connected. Marvel, by far, was not the first entity to have an interconnected universe, it's a concept that's been popular for ages. Not even going to comment on your claims about it annoying you, you have every right to think that, but I…

Hamasaki's slick fashion, concerts, and music videos are a key part of her success in Japan—and beyond. Of course, her catchy music has also been instrumental. While in recent years, she hasn't recaptured her past glory, Hamasaki is still one of the biggest selling musical artists in Japan. To date, she has sold over…

Looks cool, but if it plays anything like pretty much all the recent debuts from Korea (including the much anticipated BnS), it'll probably be mediocre with a less than compelling plot (and if it's an MMO, it'll almost assuredly be from a linear view, which is the wrong direction for an MMO). These games all look drop…

If it weren't happening at Walmart, I might feel bad to hear about it.

Why would anyone WANT to resurrect him? After his first appearance, he became pretty easy pickings for the Z-Fighters. All resurrecting him would do would create a situation where you have a boss hell bent on getting you in trouble and incapable of succeeding.

It's a relief to see that there's some hope that the sex scenes won't be -entirely- goofy (you know, like the oddly clothed shower scene in ME3), still hope the dialogue and related material is more Origins than 2, romance in origin felt natural/organic where as 2 felt extremely scripted in the worst "cheesy porn" way…

I don't feel bad about it under normal circumstances, unless it proves to be a huge hassle or really frustrating for the employee. But I'd feel bad doing it on this level, it feels like something that could get someone fired.

I'm not unaware of who I am as I play—Trevor's hands are covered in scrapes and tattoos, etc.—but I feel disconnected from the characters in a way that I actually like. That disconnection makes me play the game differently—I used to take the time to customize my character's clothes and look, but now, I don't even care.

yeah, sure, great reasoning there.

speak for yourself. The only one I have a problem with is Knuckles.

Do we have any picture of what this guy's life is like outside of his volatile views? Like, I can't imagine him being able to hold down a job, or have many friends acting like that, but I can't imagine it's his entire life either.

This shouldn't clear gamergate of anything. Even if Sousa is responsible for what he's suspected of, that still leaves a whole host of the same behavior all using the GamerGate stamp. The problem is that there's absolutely no structure to GG, no one submits an application and receives a membership card, it's just…

You're not reassuring a victim in the slightest by ignoring threats and doxing. That behavior steps beyond the boundaries of Troll behavior and has serious real world consequences. Though, you are correct that most of the chatter just needs to be ignored.

There's no arguing there's something wrong with him in a mental capacity (he's strongly displaying all three of the Dark Triad personality traits), I think it's a strong indicator something -will- happen. This behavior isn't the kind an average person enacts, even being generous enough to encompass people vocally…

Perhaps worst of all, Twitter places the onus of reporting on the victims. In this case, the lines of defense against harassment are A) Sarkeesian and B) whatever other activists decide to step in. Instead of Twitter or the police patrolling and reporting the actions of people like Sousa, the job has fallen to the…

"I don't know, maybe a ghetto girl fan of GTA, meet her on the street, and give her a nice punch in the face!" Sousa said. "I don't encourage it, but I certainly would not be sorry for Anita. Dishonest, deceitful and perfidious people like her, ask to be abused in one way or another."

When I first reached out to the Gamergate supporter @brofreq, one of his first questions was whether or not I had spoken to Sarkeesian. He wanted me to know that many Gamergaters have contacted her on Twitter about Sousa, yet she hasn't publicly addressed them. Like some others in the campaign, he was disconcerted…

Actual Pokémon games certainly have their share of exciting features—the problem is that some features will only appear in a certain generation, only to then disappear in subsequent games. The upcoming Pokémon games, for example, won't have customization despite the fact that X & Y did. Game Freak justifies this by…

So, you brought it up because it goes without saying? Logic!
