As a college professor I fully believe this and am also somewhat relieved to hear this, because at least 50-75% of my colleagues are insane and sometimes I question if its thats a normal average for coworkers.

"So, your resume is quite impressive, but what qualifications specifically make you the chef we're looking for?"

I knew when the invasion started it would be with the well-dressed ones.

They would even mix it in with their sweet tea.

Can we just convert Jezebel to *only* Closed Ovens for this week? The amount of bad news I can't do anything about is overwhelming.

I completely agree with everything Olliver say's here regarding Ferguson. However "citing the possibility of a terrorist attack on its "annual Pumpkin Festival." to be fair I have been known to terrorize pumpkin pies, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin beer, pumpkin cake, pumpkin soup, and many other pumkin flavoured items.

Still no gnomes in any of the cinematics, thank the light.

NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SHALL TOP THE KING OF ALL CGI, ALL HAIL THE WRATH OF THE LICH KING CINEMATIC TRAILER

Yeah, I agree. If I want to be a straight white guy, I can do that every single day. I don't need a game for it. When I'm playing a game, I want to experience things from somebody else's shoes for a while. When given the opportunity I'll play women, gay men, people of different races, etc. You've got to do…

I've found that lately, if I have a choice, I prefer playing a female character over male. I think it might've started with Mass Effect. My first play through was as FemShep (at the time for the titillation of romancing Liara, I'm ashamed to admit) and the acting and characterization was just so good that I couldn't…

It's part of the reason that WoW, with all its problems, still makes bank. Players are able to pick characters that they can connect with (and customize them).

I am not a huge fan of Feminist Frequency because I feel like she intersperses sound arguments with nit-picking that makes her an easy target for guys who don't want to pay attention to her more legitimate points. At the same time, sexism in the video game industry is a glaring issue that sometimes defies common…

David Gaider has had the offer of the soul of my firstborn ever since the whole Straight Male Gamer thing.

I have played videogames since I was six years old, console and PC, casual and complex and everything in between, and it would be awfully nice to be better represented. The impression, otherwise, is simply 'This…
