It legitimately might have been earlier, I'm not trying to be snarky. XD I was just fairly sure the announcement was the first anyone had heard of it, but I honestly could be wrong. The article does say at least one of them is an artist with Blizz though, so that's probably a factor. They're still cool costumes either…

League runs in my browser? Huh, the more you know.

Before announcements though? I was under the impression that Overwatch was announced entirely at Blizzcon, with no information beforehand unless there were strict NDAs.

That said, I'm wondering if they're dressed as concept work of the characters or something? I'm not trying to nitpick since the costumes look good, but they look different than the screenshots beside them in a way that doesn't come down to quality.

I'm pretty suspicious that this was cosplay for the sake of cosplay rather than Blizzard getting employees to cosplay to drum up hype. It's still cosplay, but I think there's a stark difference between being on the art team and making a costume of something you're working on and seeing something announced and making a…

Agreed, which is why I've mostly washed my hands of the issue. I think frankly that most of the steps taken on the journalism ethics front (like transparency in general from most outlets) are the ones that needed to be taken, at least for now, and everyone left over in the movement is either desperately trying to keep…

I've seen a couple, and I just can't really shake the idea that she's in too deep. I guess it's less to do with the subject matter and more her approach? It's unrealistic to just explode onto the scene by saying "HEY ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE TERRIBLE IN YOUR HOBBY" and not expect people to get their backs up - and…

Chiming into this part of the discussion - Anita Sarkessian, in my honest opinion, is a hack that has only a tenuous grasp of the subject matter she's discussing.

Could, and realistically has by now. The point is that people, media outlets included, should be able to differentiate the radicals from the core of a particular group.

It's less a matter of evidence and more a matter of understanding that there's a shitty underbelly to almost every cause. The practical way forward is probably to ignore the radicals from both sides of the issue (when possible, obviously - threats should be responded to with calls to the proper authorities) and…

Personally I'm of the opinion that he had a pretty balanced view of it. He didn't name names, and simply said "Let's stand against hate and harassment". I'm interpreting that as him not actually taking a side in the issue, and with good cause - both sides of it have people that are acting pretty awful, and both sides…

Pretty much. I mean I'm trash too, but that's why I don't take on healer/tank responsibilities yet. >_> DPS is just "hey don't stand in the metaphorical fire, and blow things up" :P

LFR is painful. Had healers in a group last night that basically healed anyone BUT the tanks. It was an experience, to be sure.

Missingno. was explained fully to me via guide. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Official_… My dad picked this up for me somewhere around Christmas '99; I got a Game Boy Colour and Blue that year and I got lost in Mt Moon to the point of pre-Cerulean Charizard and tears, so the guide pretty much saved gaming for…

It's still technically Japan-only. :P There's fan translations of most of the rest too I think, but I'd argue 6 is one of the only ones really worth the effort, the older entries haven't aged well at all.

Team Rocket is a criminal organization, and harvesting Slowpoke tail is considered one of the Worst Possible Things in Gen 2, so that one makes sense. For the rest of the list I'm 90% sure King's Rocks are the only BP item, so. XD

How doesn't it come close? Destiny ITSELF owes its legacy to the Halo series, and they suddenly jump ship and screw the actual customers that have been supporting them from (close to, since Marathon and Myth are still a thing) the start? That's a burn that's definitely on par with yours. Both consoles had exclusives -…

It's only a handful. As far as I was aware, Xenoblade Chronicles is the only one that's even been ANNOUNCED yet, much less released. Given that the console is out in Japan, I don't think games that are exclusive to this are a priority. It's the Game Boy Color to the 3DS' Game Boy Pocket - a new handheld released…

I can see that now. XD Just figured you might want to know!

So, uh. http://store.steampowered.com/app/327740/ That just happened.
