Thanks for the comment. Could have done without the cursing. When talking to respectable people, it is based to be respectful. But thank you for your comment. It was insightful.

Thanks for the chime in. I have a question since you said you’re a teacher in a public school though. How much regulation has your teaching taken on since the Common Core and state standardized testing barged in? I remember my public education schooling to be a mix of fun or boring based on the teacher, but the…

I meant start his own.

Yeah, leaving GameStop made me think of the worthlessness of being a gamer. Honestly, all that’s left is the remnants of my game collection. My kids play now, not me.

I’ll try to remember this.

No one said it would be easy. It just won’t be 80 hours a week. I’m not an 18 and out kind of father. I can afford to keep him home.

I’m long out of there. I just wanted to use it as an example.

It’s the closest thing I’ve got to it. 8am to 3am plus the drive to and from are not the easiest shifts. I think one time I even opened so I stayed there and slept for 3 or 4 hours and worked my next shift, which was a double if I remember correctly. 40 hours over 45 hours. And I was salary so.... Yeah, GameStop hates…

My son wants to make video games for a living. Articles like this make me terrified for him. I basically told him that he absolutely must be an Indie game maker, not work for a AAA game company. I’m hoping I can convince him to do something else with his time though. Maybe I’ll pull a business out of my hat and have…

Fair enough. So you’re really upset at the timing of the news instead of waiting for it to develop. You didn’t like that he was updating the article as he learned more. You’d rather have a one shot report and get all the details so you could make up your mind on how you felt. I don’t think this warrants threatening…

Now hang on a minute. There’s no trolling coming from this guy. I am indeed passionate about things, but not to the point of causing anyone grief. Mind you, we wouldn’t be talking if you didn’t reply to ME. My conversation was with BadPrenup. So who’s the troll if you caused ME grief?

My last question: So are you saying that it was not within Kotaku’s jurisdiction to cover the story since they are nothing more than an amateur blog compared to more respectable companies that are run by corporations, and the fact that Patrick did was nothing more than him sticking his neck out to get chopped? If that…

You said - “...to explain another person’s point of view does not mean that you agree with them. Doing so is a basic argumentative writing requirement, and it implies that you acknowledge that such an argument exist. This allows you to then deconstruct this point of view by pointing out the logical fallacies in their…

I’m not a candy crush player but I am a former Bejewelled (Diamond Mine?) player. I am also a Puzzle Quest ONE player. I feel like the puzzle genre just can’t find a new gem game, that’s all. Even Bust-a-move (Puzzle Bobble) isn’t getting the Candy Crush Treatment, which I find very irritating since I think that game…

“You can have an opinion while also explaining other POVs and debating them”

This probably should have went into the article as a public service announcement. Unless there’s a way to sticky this reply and make everyone see it I don’t think this is going to be seen by the majority of your viewers.

I apologize for commenting on your reply to Arden but I just wanted to say that a person should be fired for things that happened while in their position, not for who they are outside of work. When I come home from work I am not a representative of my company any longer; I represent myself. Any problems that anyone…

I don’t know if anyone else challenged you on this but I would like to.

I apologize for commenting on this because I am not trying to harass you but you could just be a decent person and respect everyone.

All humans have emotions. To dismiss them is NOT journalism, nor is it a term paper in college, it would be robotic.
