I understand what you're saying, but I still would suggest it isn't entirely relevant. Perhaps there was a time where she identified with games, then she passed through a period where she did not because of how alienated she felt or because of social pressure. Regardless, I still don't feel her opinion is invalidated

And, second, it seemed to me she was being careful to clarify whether she loves games. In a vacuum, this might seem strange, but the idea that Sarkeesian doesn't care much about games has been part of the narrative against her. There's a pre-Tropes vs. Women in Video Games clip, after all, of her introducing a video

I have been playing Telltale's games since Bone and it has been surprising how common bugs are in their games. I've sent them details on the bugs every time I've found one that caused me pain while playing, and I still haven't gotten a single email back from them.

This is interesting. On one hand, I feel it's kind of silly to tie the amiibos to a demo of an old game. That doesn't add much value to me, as someone who has played all those old games.

Here's a fun towing story:

I have a good friend who has the same problem. She does her due diligence to keep herself and her family immunized, but ended up getting measles in one of the outbreaks because the people around her weren't so diligent.

It's pretty funny how similar your current setup is to mine. We now have a chromecast hooked into our TV and use the following with it:

Or how ankles work, for that matter.

My favorite is when you got on a quest to save NPCs, but you're given some objective like:

Yeah, the game was great :)

Agreed. Some people look at me funny when I talk about how much I enjoyed it, so I tend to undersell it.

Yeah, I really enjoyed all of it, personally, I just know too many people who didn't fall in love with it like I did.

Dude, GB3 happened, it was a video game. You should check it out.

When I was growing up my parents didn't allow us to play video games on weekdays. They wanted us to concentrate on schoolwork. So, instead, I would quickly rush through/half do my schoolwork and then tell my mom I was done and that I wanted to go to my friend's house.

I saw this email this morning. I really don't feel like I need anything more from Sony, to be honest. The whole Welcome Back thing was plenty for me.

OH MY HOLY CRAP JUST IMAGINE THE AMIIBOS

Perhaps, but The Hobbit was such an isolated book that came before Middle Earth was really properly developed enough, and it was originally meant for children. Then LotR happened, and everything about Middle Earth changed.

Yeah, and to me the Necromancer stuff IS a big part of the LotR tie-in. So definitely, that stuff is important.

The reality is, you CANNOT pull LOTR out of these films, or even The Hobbit book itself, because of how much LOTR really changed things.
