I think your interpretation of the petition is different from mine: where you see a dishonest attempt to misrepresent the game, I see it as either being a misunderstanding or a misinterpretation of what's happening in the game because they didn't actually play it themselves, but their view of the game was based on…

This Metta?

At least in Australia, the precedent was set with the censoring of GTA IV:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controver…

"The Classification Board does not directly censor material by ordering cuts or changes. However, they are able to effectively censor media by refusing classification and making the media illegal for hire,…

That's not extortion; _That's_ extortion:

"The offence of extortion or blackmail is committed when one person dishonestly makes a demand on another person for specified property in the possession of or under the control of that person, and that demand is accompanied by threat or force."

So what is stopping a more business savvy Australian from straight up buying up all GTAV stock and selling it from their own home? Nothing, and that person will make a killing if they did that in a country where all major retailers decided to shy away from selling GTAV.

It's not like Target decided to stop selling…

That is still Target's right and decision to choose not to sell the product because they weighed the costs of potentially tarnishing their brand name by association with a product that, in light of #GamerGate and other notorious online threats against women in the video game industry and the media coverage surrounding…

I liked my MaleShep (being Asian, it's nice to be able to play a game where I can get my toon to actually look somewhat Asian and looking vaguely like me), but I would have enjoyed even greater customization options in ME3. This would be pretty awesome.

That sounds terrible. :( And too bad.

More games really need to take advantage of TressFX. :)

I like the games where they have a setting where you can toggle whether or not you see the helmet on your characters, so you can have them bareheaded, even if they are technically wearing the helmet (i.e. getting the armor bonuses for it).

They should, because I personally can't stand Bethesda's character design and animation for their NPCs: there's something weirdly 'uncanny valley' about them that leaves me wishing they'd gone with something a little more stylized (like Bioshock: Infinite) and less like they were trying for realism... and failing. ;P

N…

I haven't played Korean MMOs but I learned the hard way that I'm so used to being mollycoddled on carebear servers of Western MMOs (where there are few, if any, consequences for dying to other players) that I no longer have that edge to be able to play MMOs with cutthroat PvP anymore (if I ever did).

There was a time…

Yeah, I played a bit of the beta on PC, which was alright, but not compelling enough for me to get. All I know is I found the Xbox 360 port to be terribly... disappointing. I should have guessed, but it was cheap and on sale. ;P

Not that I was much good at CS:S to be honest.

It's about ethics in CS:GO journalism! #GOmerGate

They say it's to increase blood donation, but really...

... it's to increase organ donation. ;P

It's barbaric that they still haven't repealed those clearly homophobic rules on blood donation. It's like, what, heterosexuals can't engage in risky sexual behaviour? Every bar I've ever been to would indicate otherwise, myself included. :P

It'll be on the next Portishead album.

Except that she's _not_ a "self proclaimed gender police of the gaming industry" and never claimed to be such. She's never called for a ban on your favourite video games or called for censorship. If you disagree with her videos, then don't watch them. If you want to make a rebuttal to her arguments, make your own…

When did Anita Sarkeesian call for a ban on video games? Never. That's not even a good false comparison by the standards of spurious "logic", and classic guilt by association fallacy: Let's compare Sarkeesian to Jack Thompson, a well-known anti-gamer boogieman to scare and rile up the masses against Sarkeesian. …
