Gita, you’re missing the best one from last year’s update:

Nobody ever remembers the actual awards.

Why would they? It’s obvious even the show itself treats them as afterthoughts.

My original point is that these individuals aren’t athletes. And this article exemplifies that in spades.

that was just after about 2 minutes of googling.

e“Sports” at it’s finest

I chose to review it because, as I said in the second paragraph, I was hoping that Takahashi and crew would make something I enjoyed more this time around.

That’s part of it, sure, but it sounds like this was more of a long-simmering cultural clash. This is just the tip of the iceberg, and maybe one day I (or someone else) will tell the story of what happened to Popcap after EA bought it, but I’ve heard bits and pieces and it sounds like there was all sorts of…

In other words, he wasn’t fired BECAUSE he didn’t want to make his games Freemium, but the fact he didn’t want to meant they didn’t have much of a reason to keep him on come layoff season.

Everyone knows real nerds use MPC or VLC....I mean, come on...no self respecting nerd would be caught dead using WMP!

Just to add to how ridiculous this ad is, our protagonist is watching a Dota video in Windows Media Player.

All of this, and I still have to wonder who the F*** pays $1,000 for a red bandana? A freakin’ virtual one! One that doesn’t exist! A collection of pixels meant to vaguely resemble a bandana!

Also, side note: Google Chrome’s autocorrect is being stupid and saying “bandana” in spelled “bandanna”

Holy shit I didn’t know Dust 514 ever actually came out.

Mostly cybersex is how. Sure some people have life-changing experiences from meeting people on there just as anywhere else online, but if you dig a little deeper and look more at the day-to-day workings then specifically asking people with certain experiences with the game, you’ll find that a large chunk of it comes…

I had a class in first year university about 6-7 years ago where my professor not only insisted we used Second Life for class, but forced us to have group project meetings with her on there. It was the fucking worst. We had all sorts of problems communicating or connecting through it. Mostly we’d just jump around, fly…

Obviously keeping the racist undertones would be bad. But not having them is also bad? Should everything ever that references something old have a disclaimer that says ‘in this era people were racist/sexist/etc’? Hell, considering how shitty people still are, even that could be considered whitewashing by suggesting…

Go to Steam. Hit the “new releases” button. NOT the “popular new releases” button. Read the last 100 entries.

If you say so.

Yup. Seems like a good plan for the big profits that come from the short film world.

Ahhhhhh. The old, “I’m sorry but it isn’t actually my fault.” Always a classy move.

Like I said, you just roll your eyes and move on. That’s not taking the position seriously, and perfectly justified over trivial issues. But that’s not what’s going on. What’s going on are idiots feeling threatened and throwing a totally disproportionate, massive hissy fit over trivial nonsense. It’s pathetic and dumb…
