Even if this line of thinking is correct, it seems to stem from an idea of "x owes y because z," when the reality is that if there was one machine that worked great—desktop or TV, ran every game you wanted, had every feature—that would be the machine worth having. Who cares what saved which. If you want to make that…

A couple chuckles, a couple cringes, and a few things that say more about the people who made the video than nerds in general.
The racism in Bioshock has context. The game also shows black and Irish people immediately becoming the aggressors when they are able to do so. It's up to the player to interpret this as a statement about people, not about race.
On the subject of reporting things sensationally, here's Polygon focusing on the study instead of some crappy news outlet.
The mainstream media does suck. Thinking something you like is beyond "deviancy" is bad too.
I can see why you think that, and I can respect your opinion, but myself and friends of mine who have played the game can't manage to view it as tongue-in-cheek, and mostly just see it as sexism.

Without getting into the message behind the original or rebooted Tomb Raider, one of those is a real life crazy person, and the other is a work of fiction.

These...obviously aren't meant for general cleanup crews. They have their own equipment already.
Obligatory link, in case you didn't think electro-shock therapy used on 14-year-olds because they like WoW is a thing.
No, they've done a pretty good job of controlling it so far, at least by making sure addicts' money goes towards Chinese games.
I must have skipped over the end text and not seen that this was from Quin of http://www.shutupandsitdown.com/ awesomeness. Great show if you're into board games, seriously.
I think the way The Economist put it was that when two people are fighting on the edge of the cliff, you shouldn't ask "Who's at fault for this fight," you should ask, "Why the hell are we fighting by a cliff?"
Oh yeah. I'm totally "in the room" with these "gnolls", and I'm casting "lightning bolts" at them. This is so much "fun."
I think I've only ever seen one issue, but they were comparable to what you'd find in GQ IMO. Man stuff, sometimes heavier things like international affairs.
Hahaha, yuuuup. And the heists and such in GTA 5 are pretty awesome, but when I need to get across town and can't run there Flash style...or when GTA puts me into swim trunks and then DEMANDS that I drive home and change into a suit before my next mission...the way SR is constantly fun and 100% filled with crazies is…
...surely there are larger moral questions/discussion to be had in a game with this amount of bloodshed and torture compared to 'yaaay we finally get to play as a female psychopath'
I think you're suggesting that people take things out of context and get mad, but you're taking things out of context and you sound mad.
