That’s totally fair. If a writer wants to criticize a game for not featuring gender representation, that’s totally fine. That’s valuable journalism, and it helps you make the informed choice I discussed in my original post.

Sure, as far as disrupting stunts to pull in an awards gala, it’s fairly tame. I’m still not gonna praise the guy for it, though. And I know if I had been working the show I would definitely not have appreciated it. Maybe give the things out in the front while people are taking pictures or something? I just find…

Well, yeah, but it’s somebody’s job, too. I don’t particularly care for KFC, but if I ever go to one I don’t make it my mission to lightly annoy people working or eating there, you know? Particularly not with an ad for my own restaurant.

I disagree. While yes, the show is funded by sponsors and not patrons of the arts, there will always be a capitalistic element to it. (The BAFTA’s this is not...yet.) I feel people need to look past that.
It is a major moment in the gaming industry that brings all the platform leaders together, developers, and fans in…

So... that’s a shitty thing to do.

if it’s so boring, why attend?

“Fully immersive" magic floating hand game

Scores are arbitrary; however, if we’re approaching it from that angle, Death Stranding was very well reviewed. Critical consensus was not split in that regard at all - it stands at an 83 right now on Metacritic.

Appearance of impropriety is irrelevant if there’s no proven impropriety, especially with something as trivial as an advertisement award for a videogame. It’s not like we’re talking about our elected officials or something.

No one can really bullshit their way through Star Wars.The Star Wars universe is one of the most fully-realized and obsessed over fictional settings.

Ah yes, the AV Club motto. Typos and all.

I mean, I really don’t think it takes 10 hours to get enjoyable - if you really can’t find anything to enjoy in the stellar opening sequence or the atmosphere or the setup, then yeah, game might not be for you.

Good! That was absolutely outrageous.

She died way too young. It’s no wonder that today’s youth are protesting gun laws. They don’t know when they might end up a statistic.

The United States has a gun problem. Sadly, a lot of my friends and family disagree. I see them sharing stuff on social media like “I own a AR-15 because it offends you”. So these…

Woman killed after witnessing robbery? Not news.

Since this is obviously a made up story, in order to make it easier for everyone else to separate fact from fiction here, I’ve taken the liberty of going through the entire article and highlighting the things that are obviously make believe so readers coming after me can focus on the aspects of the article that may be…

I feel like apologies on behalf of the website should not have ads running on their pages. You not only profited from disturbing imagery, you take those same people who took offense, and apologize to them, but also double dip and get more money as well. It makes the apology feel disingenuous when partway through I see…

D.A usually refers to District Attorney aka Prosecutor &/ team, Legally.

But strip away the jokes, and Jojo Rabbit is largely indistinguishable from the kind of middlebrow Holocaust tearjerkers that used to routinely win the Foreign Language Oscar.

I’m not sure why I would “take away the jokes” in a movie that bills itself as a comedy?  Like, if you take all the gunplay out of Die Hard it's just a movie about Bruce Willis crawling through vents and bitching about it, but that doesn't make Die Hard bad.
