Thanks to Vanilla PS3 Skyrim, Bethesda, Sony and a lack of high-speed internet (at the time), I can't enjoy something like this. It screams "BUGS ARE COMING!" I play efficiently. I reprehend myself when there's a hint that my storing items is causing mischief in the system. Am I collecting too many pieces of paper…

It seems like my original reply went to the wrong person (I was responding to Stephen), although I don't know how that happened. Maybe I'll claim old age? Somebody—get me a lawn for you to get off of!

I was not addressing the move away from PR Journalism. I was addressing what that move ends up being. I worried about the pendulum of coverage swinging from one extreme to another.

I hope this isn't a move to shift responsibility from yourselves to the consumer. It's a cheaper, easier work to produce, but it is ultimately empty and a waste of time. It would be, for example, as if the news, rather than sending a journalist to the source to ask questions or investigate a matter, to record a scene…

Nah, dude is fine. You can tell when they look up and then run away. "Geeze, I feel bad for this guy....can't even figure out nothing is on the plate. Humans are so stupid...."

"I didn't believe!"

As a Cowboys fan, I'm going to cry no matter what happens.

Excellent article, thank you for writing it. Articles like these are important and I'm glad it's being done. Many, as it is a human trait, attempt to say that claims of threats aren't serious, or that they are fabricated, and use this reasoning to discredit other arguments. An article like this one—a well-researched,…

*Full disclosure: I write a monthly column for The Japan Times.

I still don't like the sale, but after reading Notch's letter, I have nothing but respect for him. And if it turns out he's sincere, and we all see this in the coming years, it will be just one more thing to show that humanity isn't as doomed as it constantly appears to be. Good luck, Notch. Don't pull a Lucas and not…

That brings up a good point. What is meant by "reporting"? It's entirely possible to say "We treat reporting seriously, and we promise to offer the best reporting you'll find!" and the definition of reporting in that statement be "bringing in high amounts of unique visitors per article" and "increasing advertising…

This is a good article, although there are some missed opportunities. The reporting could have been more extensive, considering the conclusions of the editorial parts (maybe future articles? I saw at least three!) The middle part was disappointment, in that several statements were made without showing how you got…

All I understand right now, and I'm in the same boat as you, is that a group of people discovered another group whose ideas they don't like might have done something unethical (and motions were made to indicate some truth) and used it to attack their ideas and muddle the line between criticisms of their ideas and…

Stephen's disclosure post is nice. However, thorough, investigative reporting is better. Well, maybe about equal. Anyway, the point is, we got one, not the other, and the only alternative I've come across is horrible sources who are intellectual dishonest and repugnant (nothing turns me off faster than "Social Justice…

If the "issue" exists enough to require a comment of any kind, then it's safe to say they're already "dragged...into" it. It's fair to say they want to avoid the appaerance of contributing to a flameware. But, to make any comment without context can be seen suspiciously, as one way to control a narratrive is to tell…

Is...is Bioware...hitting on me?

That's an excellent point. But is it a choice between confusion or appearing to push an opinion? And, if so, as a editor/reporter, which side do you err on?

I'll be honest. I don't know what the hell is going on, here. I'm not into gossip, so the lack of context leaves me scratching my head. Without citations, statements such as "We appreciate healthy skepticism from critics" and "The last week has been...a good warning to all of us about the pitfalls of cliquishness in…

2) It's worth waiting for daily deals.

Did they say craft? CRAFT YOUR OWN ARMOR AND WEAPONS? I am so happy right now, I am unable to express it in a whimsical, silly crude fashion. Hurray, beer!
