Pretty much everything in the 'tropes against women' series Anita Sarkeesian did. I mean, even if there were just the option of brutalizing, killing, kidnapping, raping, etc MALE prostitutes AS WELL AS female prostitutes, it wouldn't be so bothersome (in GTA for example). The one from a game I actually had to sit and…

I have no problem with generalized sexualization, but instead with the sexualization of women to the exclusion of the same in men. Or with reduction to nothing but that sexuality. Or really, sexualization beyond what is normal (normal is such a poor word) for the character in the situation and circumstance. I don't…

Unapologetic bisexual/pansexual female gamer here: I don't mind looking at gratuitous breasts in armor, I just wish that it reflected in AC how impractical it was, and that you could get normal armor but with a female cut instead. I think the artwork itself is amazing though.

The single best thing about facebook other than 'ship fanvids for shows is remakes where the person remaking the song just nails it. This is one of them.

Yeah. I mean, I don't like to look at childhood pics of myself without a top on, and I would imagine unless she's heavy into nudity growing up, she likely wouldn't either. I mean, that's sharing parts of her that should be her own to share or not. And then you take and add in the fact that there are so many child…

I use facebook the way others use tumblr. Lots of reposts, very little original content. Most of it's just stuff I thought I'd like to see put some place together to access later, or like I'm curating my own magazine almost. Where I use tumblr like people used to use myspace. Spiffy background and shitty playlist, few…

This is family tradition at our house, and has been since I was a kid. Christmas Vacation's sequel was a massive disappointment.

Yeah... let's take one of the better moments between settlers and natives and make it something to complain about, rather than complain about outright slaughters like the original (or second) standoff at wounded knee. *eye roll* Aside from that, "Thanksgiving" as it's known today is much more a product of Lincoln's…

That's why I never eat the turkey and go for the ham. I prefer it, for one. Secondly, turkey is like crap chicken. And third... honey glazed pig. Good god what's not to love. Only it's stuffing & green bean casserole, not cranberry sauce for me.

Sounds about right. The best part of early in the day dinner that you are hosting is that you can just have a bunch of small plates throughout the day so you never *unintentionally* food coma.

I'm left handed, and thus concur. >.>

That's why you should be eating corn the way Man was intended. As part of a casserole. 1 can sweet corn and 1 can creamed corn (fresh works better, but canned is convenient and still works), mix with one of the large sized packages of cooked saffron yellow rice and about a cup of shredded cheddar. Pop it into a…

This collection of pictures is fantastic. Gotta love the cat on top of the flatscreen and the expression when it slips. And the stack of game systems. And the one with the guys 'tailgating' sort of. That one is hilarious/brilliant.

Fascinating Turkey Day read. Thanks for writing and sharing it.

Yuuuss. I just said that. Elder Scrolls ftw.

TES 3, 4, and 5, if Skyrim's not already compatible.

Holy shit. Been protesting Black Friday a few years now because of stores like Wal-mart and their treatment of employees, but did not know that they donated to that self righteous bigot's funding. All the more reason now, then.

Damn, I guess that explains why I haven't seen any new age of empires games in forever. Got hands on the Conquerers expansion for the one from years ago on being gifted a copy, and spent so many damn hours playing that game before I ever got into TES or Diablo. That's just sad. :(

Janeane Garofalo. Sure she's a year off from being my mother's age, but she's like a live action Daria, and that seems apt.

I would say she "jumped the shark" but I'm fairly certain that would just result in a 10'x15'x4' aquarium "costume" wherein she rides a miniature jet ski repeatedly over a ramp over a 4 ft baby shark or something.
