"For more casual bystanders, though, there's a touch of the absurd to it. It already felt too soon when Tobey Macguire's Spider-Man movies — the last of which was only in 2007! — was rebooted in 2012 with a new story and a new actor (Andrew Garfield)."

Yes, the cops should spend a couple hours researching every call before responding. Lets extend this to EMS too!

It's part of their job no matter whether or not it sounds real, if they don't respond then next time someone calls maybe it would be and they'd decide not to respond. It's their job to check up on things of that magnitude.

"As the saying goes: If you want to make an Ethics Omlette, sometimes you have to scream at a lot of Females."

Holy shit. At first I was wondering how long it takes you every morning to put a shirt on over the bike helmet that you have to wear 24 /7. Then I got to the bottom and noticed it was a joke. It is a joke right? If so it's wonderful!

Jason even though you are an Unethical Game Journo Pros, (but mostly because you are a Man) I will be civil in the hopes of furthering polite discourse.

The accusations of the GamerGate trolls, even if actually true, are almost laughably pedestrian "offenses" that do not even remotely warrant the amount of outrage that results. "Ooooh, nepotism and award-fixing at a small indie games festival! Some developer's game got a better score because she was fucking the guy…

Did you say noseeeeeee?

The Kafka thing brings up a good point though: if this is published under shady circumstances but ends up being a great book, does it matter? Kafka wanted all of his unpublished stuff destroyed, which would have been a massive shame.

This is a fascinating pile you've left here. You're right that he says "Moot" not "Wu" in the "Islamic terrorists" section of the video and I'll fix that and add a correction right now. (I misunderstood him and had to play it a few times to hear it.)

To me, and this is just speculation, it did sound like the text he got was from someone pranking him by pretending to be Wu, with no understanding of what that actually meant or the real-world consequences it had.

Discussion about violence in video games? How about violence in movies? Violence in tv shows? Violence in books? Different people react to different things. No studies worth anything have ever found a link between games and violence. Some people will read Game of Thrones and be inspired by it, others will play…

See now. This is why all the posturing in the world about better journalism standards is a huge pile of steaming bullshit.

Let's skip right over that bullshit discussion and talk about proper mental health treatment instead.

If you want more female driven games become designers and make them they say. Be a female game developer and they'll spend their time threatening to kill you.

Rebuttal. Nice one.

I have a pretty good poop story that is the polar opposite of all of these poop stories, because it is a tale of incredible, life altering constipation. When I was kid, around 3 or 4, I was nuts. I didn't want to go to the bathroom. Not because i was too busy doing stuff like normal kids, I just...I remember not…

You can fight like a krogan, run like a leopard, but you'll never be better than Commander Shepard.

enjoy prison asshat!
