The top brass are quick to note Dear Leader's words: "This," he says, "is where the magic happens"

Yeah this shit always sucks. Just dumb nerd-bait. Though I guess it makes me appreciate how much more interesting ASM2's cinematography is, even if the movie is all kinds of stupid.

The third option is, you sit someone down with a representative from HR and break the news to them directly. You don't throw a frickin pizza party

Turgid self-righteousness that wears its (incoherent) politics on its sleeve? Oh right, it is a JMS story.

listen man what part of "anime titty" don't you understand

And more than that, the denial of a rape charge seems to be typically framed as an accusation against the complainant; not only that the alleged incident didn't happen, but that the complainant is knowingly making a false report. "I didn't do it" is a very different sentiment from "I didn't do it, and she's making it…

While I doubt most reactionary social groups would see Gamergaters as allies (and vice versa), it's all the same spirit.

Sumo Digital actually worked with series creator Reflections on another Driver game for PSP called Driver '76, which was set two years before Driver: Parallel Lines, the third game in the franchise.

Microsoft makes a concept video showcasing a cool technology being used for something nobody will ever want to do. In other words, Microsoft.

Was it Earth and Beyond that had a whole class dedicated to exploring sectors of space? I remember reading that in PC Gamer when I was 10 and thinking that was some rad shit.

My favorite part of any MMO is the first few hours, when you come into town and everyone's got an exclamation point over their head and a menial errand for you to complete. I have zero interest in dungeons, or raiding, or whatever; I just want to check stupid things off my stupid little list.

I've always thought you could make a great CW show of Teen Titans. Just do Gossip Girl with superpowers!

Unfortunately, we may never know whether or not blogger Chuck Johnson really shit on the dorm floor; it's he said-she said.
