I don't know if I believe that for a second. If it's not bad news, it's good publicity. Hell, sometimes bad news is even considered good publicity.

Why on earth would you want AMD to jump into practices that are equally unfriendly for the consumer. If this shit escalates you could easily end up needing to buy cards from both companies just to be able to adequately play big releases.

I am in the market for a new card and Nvidia has some options that fit my budget, but really, fuck them. I haven't bought an NFL football game after EA worked out their shitty little deal with the NFL/NFLPA. I'm not going to buy an Nvidia card for precisely the same reason here.

With some basic cable management, airflow isn't a problem, even in SFF cases that are designed for it.

Mini-ITX is the way to go. I went with the Silverstone FT03B-Mini. Lower power draw with a slick reduced form factor that's big enough for my gaming and music production needs.

Haha... those clowns, they pop up far too often.

Terrifying?! I absolutely loved the experience when I built my first gaming rig. The only freaky bit was securing the processor to the moboard I had purchased because all the install guides stressed so greatly the risk of damaging the processor pins if you forced it, and the clip for the board was a pain in the ass.

Epic lulz at saying that you're not going to presume anything but then presuming something else anyways, and for a fairly common colloquial usage to of a word to describe cowardice.

If you're going to accuse someone of being a racist, don't be a pussy about it ("little stuffy" "white power fantasy"), just come out and say it.

No, you did not.

Rather telling that you'd omit my strongest point regarding the use a ghetto as an extension of the theme of real-world socioeconomic injustice.

Epic misrepresentation of pretty much all of my points.

An ad hominen as fallacy requires a relatively specific personal attack that is irrelevant to the argument at hand.

In the states, it's something that can get just about anybody in any sort of traditional job fired. So yes it is.

For starters, that's not at all what ad hominem means. At most you could try to claim I was moving goal posts, when in reality I was merely addressing new avenues which both you and I opened throughout the course of our dialog.

Ha... interesting how you have a problem with the racial and criminal inequalities being portrayed in a relatively realistic manner, particularly given the socioeconomic divide in Chicago.

Wow... you might have thought to mention that you purchased the PC version of the game back the first time I mentioned returning it. Still not a reasonable counter to my point, particularly if you leave it installed and continue to play it. Or is the game racist, but not racist enough to warrant actually not playing…

So you won't be returning the game and you'll just be resorting to vague insults (which undermine your argument anyways). You speak of willful ignorance and "privilege" as if you actually have any relationship to this discussion. Meanwhile you'll obviously continue to own and even play this game, and through that…

It's not about being prudish. It's about Kotaku protecting its readership. Plenty of people access this site at work on their breaks, and this is the sort of no-warning shit on the front page that can get people fired.

It's just fucking sloppy and borderline arrogant. They could really get somebody in trouble.
