I always found that the easiest way to get away with this technique in papers and class discussions was to take a negative stance on the material, since people are going to stop asking. Plus you can contrast it negatively with something you have read. If there’s life after death, I have a lot of political…

The whole ‘pagans are satanists’ thing was just a pretext for the Holy Roman Empire to force people to convert. It’s unfortunate that it survives to this day, given the fact that Jesus himself said it was fine to coexist with, and pay taxes to, pagan emperors.

Good news, you wonderful grump: you can read an additional article about the game which covers Kratos, narrative, and some of the gameplay mechanics right here:

Well that was a letdown overall. When it started by showing off three major IPs, Uncharted, Horizon, and Days Past (which looks like the zombie horde game we’ve always wanted) I thought “hmm they must have something really big to show us” but no, they had bugger all. While GoW looked really good still not much has…

Oh, snap, there’s behind the scenes stuff on Witcher 3? Ok, I was already sold but that pushed me over the top. Just pre-ordered.

I came to say the same thing - preordering now!

I wasn’t completely sure I was interested enough in the behind-the-scenes side of video games to buy your book; I enjoy your writing but sometimes it’s a bit too in-the-weeds for me (I’m tangentially involved in the software business, so while I understand the corporate and political machinations, they don’t always…

hmmmmm OK nobody read this article until you’ve pre-ordered the book

Jason you could have put this in the book as DLC!

Please do remember to clean up your campsite after you leave.

Co-opting? Marginalizing? Hate crime?

The restrictions were a bit overboard, though. Prop weapons of every sort were banned, not just the ones that looked realistic or could conceivably been used to hide a weapon. Cheap plastic light sabers, light-up nerf guns, foam swords like the Minecraft-branded ones; they were all banned, and halfway through the day…

BOOM:

I’m getting nervous because I actually LOVE the skin? If I had to only buy one from this event, it’s this (even though I’ve played Lucio maybe 3 times ever). Im seeing a lot of hate for it and I know blizzard caves to that sort of thing from time to time.

When he was arrested, Chatman offered to plead guilty to assault in exchange for having the armed robbery charge dropped.....

Jason, please stop delaying games.

I don’t think we’ll do an E3 get-together this year, but if you’re going to PAX West and you’re a fan of Splitscreen, stay tuned...

I wouldn’t wanna work at Blizzard, most of all on Overwatch. Probably can’t take a piss without someone getting offended about it.

The signing of such a high-profile contract is bound to have its detractors, but I am not one of them. Congrats to the whole Deadspin staff on this momentous occassion!

Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…
