What's amazing is that the Sims 3 engine ALLOWED for digging below their own terrain. Hell, on of the big draws for World Adventures was the ability to make secret passages and dungeons full traps.

As a PM in the gaming industry, is boggles my mind when the executive decision is made to use an engine that actually…

Hi, I'm an ex-game dev. The guy is lying through his teeth. It's a good story, and yes it is difficult to code something like that in.

I am not speaking about myself; I don't feel particularly upset by typed, anonymous comments. The fact remains that trolls do target female writers, often personally, and that female writers on the Internet are regularly threatened, harassed and attacked on a personal level in a way men are not. In the past year…

SkiFree.

I don't know if anyone here is from my hometown of Ann Arbor. But if you are, you'll understand this brief anecdote. If not, hopefully it makes sense.

Meanwhile, on the third floor of the hotel, a bachelorette party eats atrocious amount of cake in disgust over their poor site selection.

Men aren't shamed for having sex.

When's the last time you've seen a man's worth denigrated by the number of women he's slept with? When's the last time a man's been shamed for having had lots of consensual sex? When's the last time a dude's been chased out of his school because he'd been raped and everyone called him…

First: animal models are by their nature inaccurate. Humans don't go into estrus.

There are precisely two primates that have sex outside of estrus - that is, at a time when reproduction is not possible - humans and bonobos. Other animals, including other primates, *only* have sex during their fertile cycle. Trying to…

Lessee: Examples of how he's mistaken vs, "nah bro."

Yeah, gonna go with the former in terms of actual credibility.

In reality: no, they don't, and the evidence for this stacks up from a dozen different angles: the difference in compensation rates for sex workers and porn actors, depending on whether they're a woman having sex with men or a man having sex with women; the market success of Viagra/Cialis and the market failure of its…

While his response is odd... I find this post a bit more troubling. It seems like this post is saying "we're going with Temkin's version of events happened, but..."

The real irony: If someone buys her book, they will read it and not use it again, making the book something to get rid of and losing valuable money on a not-so-wise investment.

The author's fucked up grammar/apostrophe use makes it impossible for me to take any of these etiquette tips seriously. Yes, I'm a snob.

Dude. Yes. Get in my belly, little marshmallow chicks.

Considering that women have been involved in game development since practically the conception of video games, it's very surprising how much crap they have to put up with to this day. I'm very glad this was shared with all of us to give us an insight into some of the challenges, obstacles, and problems that women…

I don't work in games, but I used to work in IT, in an office building with mostly doctors' offices.

This article is wonderful, but the comment thread makes me want to puke... DUDES: If you are "sick of hearing" about the injustice women experience on a daily basis, maybe you should work on actively making sure that those injustices become a thing of the past. I'm so sorry that these types of stories "wear you…

Right, just change jobs.

Setttle down. It's natural a man would take offense since they feel that it implies they're unable to hold their booze without getting all rapey. A smart woman would anticipate a drunken co-worker blocking her path while making uninvited sexual comments COULD lead to a situation were they must become aggressive to…
