Ultimately a jury of 12 of your peers and more distantly lawmakers beholden to public opinion.

This shit needs to stop now. This isn’t a case of both sides are guilty. There’s a difference with disagreeing with someone who believes that we need to treat each other equally and disagreeing with someone who believes that we need to march Jews into an oven at gunpoint. Both are a disagreement but one of the two is…

If Conan Exiles introduces a system to drag other players back to your charnel pit and castrate them, much more so if it makes the trophies something you can display or wear, T-bagging defeated foes will seem quaint and almost affectionate in comparison to the legions of bronzed warriors dragging their foes home. I’m…

Inventing words to explain the concept of your product is the first step in it’s failure.

More than just inexperience completely failing to acknowledge corporate’s role in the problem points to a pretty serious ethics problem. At minimum that memo should have said that corporate was going to re-evaluate the COL program. They’re just shirking any kind of accountability.

It may feel like the constant protests are changing nothing but it is having a tremendous impact on conservatives to wake up every day not living in their Republican Fantasy. They hate living in a nation where people are demonstrating in the streets against injustice. They hate being reminded that their guy is pissing…

It’s not pedantic. John Carmack admitted to the theft in court. He would just prefer a more charitable term be used than theft. If I were Facebook/Oculus I wouldn’t appeal. I think they could face a much worse loss.

“I copied files that I shouldn’t have. I think stealing is an uncharitable way to look at it since I didn’t benefit and Zenimax didn’t lose, but I shouldn’t have done it, and I did,”

It’s shitty that there’s yet another policy that has Gamestop employee lying to us but odds are this policy just replaced a policy where employees were required to lie about something else. Gamestop isn’t required to sell you new games. It would be best for them to sell you what you want to buy but that’s their…

If the 70 year old dude who sits outside of the barber shop in your neighborhood was rambling like this you’d smile and nod and think “Good on you gramdpa, you’re a racist old shit but your you’re trying” but we really need a president to be more empathic than the old racist dude outside the barber shop and the…

So I get the your-culture-may-vary aspect of this but it’s still jarring to hear a 16 year old apologizing for his adolescent behavior when no laws were broken and nobody is pregnant. It would be like my father apologizing for squandering our Disneyland money on rent and bills in a shamefully adult manner.

Maybe it’s healthier than the western obsession with celebrity relationships.

Yeah? actually we will miss the 6th largest economy in the world and 65% of the food produced in the nation. Especially since we’re going to be facing a 20% price hike from the country where 50% of our produce originates from. We’ll miss the center of American technological innovation and the American Entertainment…

Do you seriously think a game of family fun is going to address the holocaust with the gravity it deserves? I means this has to be an epic fail one way or the other.

I hate to break it to you but there isn’t much of a DNC left and really there isn’t much of an RNC at this point. Republicans are railing against Trump. This would actually be the least damaging moment for California to leave. And if they did who’s to say that even the Red States would stay with the President of the…

If you don’t think Trump is ridiculously vengeful you haven’t been paying attention to the insanely poisonous things he’s been doing to spite people the last few months. If California succeeds I would expect Los Angeles to be nuked in a matter of days. I know that sounds insane but every time we say “That’s insane,…

No Win Situation

It could be worse.. They didn’t burn a cross in her yard. Good job. They did leave an unrealistically large tip and a note that singled out her race and gender, but they seemed to want to assure her that even though they perceive the world by race and gender they don’t think they tipped her pornographically for those…

Another advantage of kickstarter is gauging commitment. So far as I know American Zoetrope has never made a video game, and with the noteworthy exception of The Line, there hasn’t been a lot of video games like this. Funding part of the game over Kickstarter allows Zoetrope to know if the idea will sell.

Removing the scene speaks to a lack of understanding of BDSM more than a lack of acceptance. If the game’s creator understood the subject matter better it could have been articulated in the plot in a way that didn’t make people feel uncomfortable. The fact that the scene was botched and then pulled immediately would…
