A few reasons why Haley is nuts:

Anyone who talks shit about Gail Simone is automatically on my shit list.

Thanks for all the good thoughts, guys. I appreciate it.

I actually just quit my job in healthcare (phlebotomist) because I genuinely was losing my sense of empathy for the patients. My mom's dealing with a terminal cancer diagnosis, and it's hard to listen to other people complain about the hassle of routine bloodwork when your mother is dying.

I'm sure it doesn't help that it's actually a good game. I "enjoyed" it anyway. It's not really fun, but it's effective.

The face of #Gamergate, ladies and gentlemen.

If gamers were TRULY upset about the disparity between game quality and game reviewing, we would be talking about Destiny (which brought down $500 million) instead of Depression Quest (which only just got on steam after being only a browser game for the longest time).

And let me also add that gamers themselves have allowed game reviewing to be as bad as it is. Remember Twilight Princess and the fabulous 8.8 meme? Or Jeff Gerstmann rightfully trashing that garbage pile Kane & Lynch? All this was happening before some dude got his feelings hurt by his game developer girlfriend.

I assume this is the same Adam Baldwin who compared gay marriage to incest?

Someone on Twitter told me

Also, I'm supposed to believe that an indie game was the last straw for gamers who have watched Electronic Arts drag them through the mud consistently with their PR? Or is it perhaps that Zoe Quinn just makes a prettier effigy to burn?

what exactly is the "feminist agenda"? To let women participate in the development process without being threatened with rape?

What's ridiculous is that gaming journalism has needed reform from fucking day one. I can't remember how long ago it was that Ubisoft stopped letting EGM have its games early because of a bad Assassin's Creed review.

I did send something to corporate because I figured, but their attitude was basically: meh.

Well, then you need to have a conversation with the guy who makes the salads at our Panera. Because I know what iceberg looks like.

And this is more of an adult lesson:

Oops, I didn't even see yours before submitting mine. Our baking chocolate came in a shiny Hershey's tin, which of course meant that it was completely substitutable for hot chocolate.

Most upsetting kitchen lesson I learned is that baking chocolate is NOT a good subsitute if you think your hot cocoa is not chocolatey enough.

I'm convinced that their Pick 2 mention is intentionally confusing, because I sure as hell don't get how any combination equates to a good deal.

You don't mean to be rude?
