I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think of that!

Do you have better things to do than snipe at a University paper? Do I have better things to do than snipe at you for sniping at a University paper? Do the inevitable replies to this post have anything better to do than snipe at me for sniping at you for sniping at the paper? Apparently not.
The Force Had A Rough Night, Okay?!
Please. The public representative of one company was deeply, grossly rude to the CEO of another company, even if you discount the threat. Severing public relations is exactly what happens under those circumstances in any age, and they weren't being egged on by 'mob rule'. As if Gabe even knows these forums exist, let…
EA's defense is that their ads were always lying and we always knew it.
... Huh.
And damn that media too, reporting things!
Notice that whenever someone does something wrong and it's reported, the core fault SOMEHOW lies with the middleman. People so self-centered that it's not their fault they did wrong, it's someone else's fault for finding out. He'd get along with Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan.
That kind of logic leads to a lack of punishment at all. If you only punished people who had absolutely no one around them who'd be affected, you may as well dissolve the justice system.
For everyone saying Valve was heavy-handed: For one, they could legally have him *arrested* for making a death threat. THAT would be heavy-handed. Second, we don't know their side of the story, because they happen to have the class to not air dirty laundry for the entire world to see for all time. There's already…
True, true. But I don't think we should kid ourselves by thinking that he's reading our comments at all, let alone being stung by them. Nobody here is harassing him over social media, for example... Oh, bad example.
Free speech cuts both ways. If you're free to be a jackass, I'm free to tell you you're a jackass. It doesn't mean you're entitled to be a total cunt without any repercussions.
It's called 'growing up'.
"Today, Kinja user 'Zabant' was forced to shut his account down after threatening to sexually assault the PC Brigade..."
Because he cares what random people say in a blog comments section. White Knights trying to save people who don't need saving are as much of an internet curse as people who kick others when they're down.
Twitter is the worst thing to happen to people with poor impulse control and the best thing to happen to people who like to see people with poor impulse control self-destruct.
Oh, joy. Shit on KotOR even more, why don't you.
Only 6 more chapters to wrap everything up? Really? Okay, this is either gonna be one heck of a short final fight or there's going to be absolutely no time left for the wrap-up. Mind you, this is THE fight that's been on the cards for what, nine years?
I'm obviously not cut out to write articles, because my version of this column would have been three words long: Co-op and microtransactions.
Or is that four words? Hyphens confound me. Damn you, hyphens!
Breaking news! Dual-wielding blades each the size of your torso which are chained to your arms is ALSO not a combat technique recommended by real-life swordsmen! Games are ruined forevermore!
Personally, I see a man whose laxative has just kicked in at the worst possible time.
I'm not even saying that just for toilet humour. It's honestly what I see.
The story didn't piss me off, as ridiculously unsubtle and vulgar as it was, and neither did the gameplay. I'm one of those people who literally can't finish DMC3 even on the easiest settings without cheating, so the 'dumbing down' was very welcome. But the more I played it, the more new Dante came across as a douche…
I'll be skipping this one and waiting for his next Godzilla, simply because this reeks of a Political Message For You, Sir! I hate that, even when it's a message I agree with.
