Nah. He’s just playing Torbjorn.

“Somehow, a new player-created holiday became a story about conflict, betrayal and the disappearance of an entire civilization.”

So, they invented Thanksgiving?

I hate to resort to capitals, but a quick note to Bannon, McConnell, Trump and the rest:

Satisfying

no in the bad timeline pikachu is stripped of his detective license and deported

this reminds me of that part in The Handmaid’s Tale where Serena Joy is forced to throw out the books SHE WROTE on conservative values because the culture that SHE CREATED does not allow women to read. these women are literally creating their own oppressors.

Better than 99% of journalism imo. You showed initiative and followed through. The results show a deluded individual who was tricking countless people and news outlets into believing in his nonsense just so he could somehow validate his insecurities and seem important.

I actually think “Feinberg caliber” was a compliment, but yeah, I do think this is important. If someone has spent two years claiming to work at EA and speaking for them on Twitter (with over 100k tweets), to the point where he even gets picked up by mainstream news sites, and if it turns out he might not actually…

I wasn’t being sarcastic, I love this. One of the Gawker network’s greatest strengths has always been writers who can identify the value in stupid mundanities. This is important and worthwhile work, for the reason you mentioned (media outlets did in fact do that in this case). But at the end of the day, this is a…

That awesome moment someone on a video game blog is a better investigative journalist this half the media in the nation. Anyway, I believe he is lying(it’s obvious) but I don’t say that to be mean to him. I wonder what was his reason for doing something like this? It seems very strange. I hope this gets an update.

I’ll leapfrog here to say that there’s a line between advocacy and something else. Battlefront II devs were talking about receiving death threats today on Twitter. I get that folks are upset... I’ve been pretty vocal too... but I want to use this as a general opportunity to remind folks to approach these issues…

If you really want the “Heather isn’t fucking around version,” here it is:

Loot boxes are, ignoring the hair splitting of insufferable pedants like yourself, gambling. They are crafted, from probabilities to visual to their contents, to condition individuals and encourage repeated purchase and use. People with…

Worker and consumer rights are absolutely moral issues, largely because compensation for labor and the cost of goods (at least under capitalism) is fundamentally exploitative in execution. Usually, we roll with it and that’s fine. For instance, I don’t have a problem giving my guy at the bodega a buck for a soda even…

Obamacare is so evil that when it saw Rand had five broken ribs, it decided to break another because it’s Obamacare.

He runs like a six year old who just saw a bee.

I live in the middle of dumbfuckistan....in the actual country no less. Here is a condensed conversation I had yesterday with a farmer talking about football (since he went to one of the state schools and I went to the other about a thousand years ago).

Good. :)

It isn’t.
