Clearly the patriarchy designed their costumes to objectify these women!

Lazors are lame, bullets > all.

*sigh*

Whoever the blue guys are. They ad the rockinest theme of the three factions on character select so I went with them.

SOE games are up and running. Not sure about PSN (haven't bothered) but I just got done playing PlanetSide 2 for a bit and it ran normally.

Indeed. It creates sorta a metagame out of playing to get the achievements.

Thankfully, I never gave a shit about achievements because they're nothing more than a psychological tool to encourage certain behaviors or retain player engagement for longer than they otherwise may have. Oh, and exist to be pointless rewards to positively reinforce the simple act of playing a game.

Indeed, and with politics in general (at least in the US) given how often industry heads are tapped to regulate the industry they once worked for, or how often legislators are offered cushy jobs in the industries they once wrote legislation on.

Dude here, was aware of all of these things.

Well, I've always said, You can't spell Crap without rap.

TLDR: It's just like the black one, but white.

Indeed. If she actually is guilty of slandering and causing Wizardchan to be harassed and is guilty of shutting down the female oriented games jam (I haven't read anything 100% conclusive yet, but I've seen some strong evidence) then she deserves all the shit she gets.

They may have been removed, but yesterday there were dozens and dozens of posts linking to that video. I'd imagine they're still somewhere in this giant mess of a comments section.

Embargo's are actually a benefit to journalists. Publishers could withhold the information they are going to announce until they actually announce it, leaving journalists rushing to write something up about it. By getting it ahead of time, it lets the journalists write something up and ask any additional questions…

And the social justice warriors wonder why everyone with half a brain hates them and their outrage culture...

It happens in governments across the world. The very people who run companies in the various regulated industries are the ones that get tapped to regulate them more often than not, a clear conflict of interest.

The DRM was in place at launch to support the AH's, pure and simple (and give them complete control over the game). They wanted to make sure that everyone was going to be able to have constant access to the RMAH to try to monetize as many people as they could as often as they could.

In the interest of fairness, Grayson hasn't covered anything Zoe has done since their relationship began (as far as I know/have seen). I see no reason to disclose it if it's not influencing his work.
