When I hear people bemoan about a character’s gender (or race, or sexuality, or whatever) being a non-issue, my reply to always ask them then what’s the big deal about having a female (or not white, or homosexual, or whatever) character? Why always go with the default since it’s, you know, a non-issue?

I was late to the Overwatch hype party. I played the beta a little, had mixed feelings, but the more I thought about it, the fun I had outweighed my reservations, so I pre-ordered and pre-loaded over the weekend. I’m really looking forward to playing tonight.

Probably. The Witcher 3 went on sale (and digital copies were playable) at 7:00 PM Eastern the night before its actual release date, because the developer decided to launch all over the world at the same time.

He was also the best thing about the Doom movie that currently exists.

I remember thinking it wasn’t that bad when I first saw it, but then again I haven’t had a desire to see it again since, so there’s that.

Now that I know which is the smear frame in the animation of McCree drawing his pistol, I swear I can’t *not* notice it now.

The funny thing is that this comic would actually be a decent basis for Doom movie.

Even that particular type would snatch up a female action figure for the sake of their collection (they just don’t want real-life women participating in the collection culture).

That is the assumption, and anecdotally it’s true, but it’s also a real chicken-and-egg argument.

Does he make appearances at birthday parties and if so is he free this fall?

I’m glad you put the reboot up here, and that it’s fairly high on the list. It made Jason more frightening, it had some pretty creative kills, and had just the right mix of characters that you expected to live and didn’t and characters that you applauded when they checked out. It really was a great slasher movie.

You’re just so adorable I’m not even mad.

Better things such as responding to this supposed buffoon’s replies?

The fact that my response was too long for you to read says a lot about your thought processes.

Why even with the metal arm, or giving him weapons? I understand that it might look more exciting than a bunch of scientist observing monitors and such, but just cut to Spain when he goes into the Animus and stay there until he wakes up.

No, actually, I didn’t call anyone a professional victim, and that article was in response to people griping about how a video game’s graphics engine changed from its reveal at E3 in the final published product.

This is what I always say when older people (and even people my age) start grumbling about “kids these days”: They are what we have made them.

Agreed, up to the point that you say it’s a “tough adjustment to make.”

Wow, a whole eight replies in (not counting sub-replies) before somebody talks about how lucrative being a professional victim is. I’m proud of you, Internet.
