Oh, it was years ago. Had the surgery, recovered well, no problems since. Thanks!

As someone who has had an inguinal hernia, I can tell: that was the right move.

Thank you!

Right, at this point I can’t help but feel that you’ve had some negative experience with Blizzard and are thus heavily biased. You keep saying “it’s on Blizzard,” yet you’ve been given several examples on why it’s not legally on Blizzard at all. If you want to argue that what Blizzard is doing is unethical, that’s one…

So we’re supposed to forgive rape because it’s just a case of poor judgment? Can we get that extended to all the other crimes? Because I’d really like an Xbox One, and I’m pretty sure if I get drunk enough I’ll have the idea that just stealing one wouldn’t be that big of a deal.

Well, I do have one more thought to share regardless.

Section 9(B)(iii) of the Battle.net EULA:

Is that an unfair clause to have in a contract? Yes. If we had more government regulation of businesses in the US, it may actually be illegal, but for now a company can do that if they wish. Doesn’t make it fair.

For years, it’s been a dream of mine (not the main one, mind you, but one) to be a legit hardcore competitive FPS gamer. Like, I actually wanted to get into tournaments and everything.

I try. :-) Thanks.

I find it shitty that the game has no other mode that would make the $40+ investment worth a damn when blizzard decides to ban you for good or bad reasons.

True, but absent any commentary or explanation by the poster and with repeated flags, again: you’d think they might bump the prioritization on it. They could always remove it, contact the person to make sure that it’s legit, and then allow them to repost it. If the account is hacked, of course the hacker is going to…

Not wanting to take action until they determined the account was hacked is something I can get behind. However, seeing whereas this was a picture of a person with their throat cut open POSTED ON THEIR OWN PAGE I’m going to go out on a limb and assume they didn’t post the picture themselves and say that maybe it should…

*raises hand*

It was by Mark Millar. I haven’t even read it and I can confirm that you’re recalling correctly.

Because they hate Kotaku and all that it stands for, so any time Kotaku reports anything they don’t like to hear, they struggle to make Kotaku the bad guy.

How many people were murdered over Twitter death threats? Hmmm, 0.

It’s disturbingly easy to find out a person’s home and work address. Anyone with a clean record can go to Wal-Mart and have a gun and ammunition in less than an hour. The news is clotted with stories about people being murdered over trivial things everyday. Now, several complete strangers have all said that they are…

Real world definition: Professional dress is whatever my employer tells me I have to wear, because by wearing that I get to keep my job.

There are very few exceptions to my general opposition to the death penalty. This is one of them. And call me cruel and barbaric all you want, but lethal injection’s too good for him. Give him the chair.
