I’m suddenly reminded of that God awful law and order episode the tried to address “gamer gate” with the whole horribly contrived interpretations of gamer culture culminating in the online harassed actually trying to kidnap and sexually assault someone.

He already owned the games and bought spares? Of those two no name titles. Something smells funny here...

Isn’t it stressful to be that alarmist all the freaking time?

Oh please. I have never, not once, of my own accord gotten a flu shot. Nor have I ever gotten the flu. If that’s just luck, than that’s an indicator too. Probability is a metric here.

I had exactly the same apprehension. I fit more or less in the same boat as you, with my exception being that I believe until someone can definitively prove there isn’t. But I’m closer to agnostic than anything.

I feel like you kind of go off the rails from time to time here, especially conflating that we will rise song to the financial crisis. I just... Don’t see that at all. If anything it felt more like a jab at semi popular southern beliefs. “the south will rise again” and all that. I have similar, if almost identical…

Blatant pr stunt not withstanding, I’m still calling this a W. If companies can pull mts after launch, it’s a sign there’s some understanding of the market desires regarding them.

Here’s the thing though, you still don’t really understand* guns. You know them in sort of a half hearted academic way. You go on about how you know the feel of a grenade launcher, and the kick of a revolver, but that’s all, also, just as removed as your understanding of their aftermath. You’re still just reading that…

Very true. That’s not to mention that he DOES have moments of empathetic connection. I won’t spoil anything but his reaction to you defeating his little brother actually had me feeling somewhat swayed for a moment. I had to remind myself who exactly he was and what his methods and goals were.

Couldn’t even get through the first paragraph. It has plenty interesting to say if you’re not a flaming liberal just DYING to see the caricatures of conservative politics made the great villain through hyperbole. It is, near as I can tell ten hours in, the direct opposite of bioshock in terms of narrative. That is to…

Is the irony seriously not obvious to you guys? I mean you’re almost word for word emulating the pro-gun argument. “it only hurts the innocent ones.” “a school shooter won’t obey the rule.” “if they want to bring a gun in, they’re going to find a way.”

This is one of those things that if they hadn’t expressed their intent to market specifically to criminals, I’d be perfectly okay with it.

I dropped Netflix about a year ago. Original content < selection cultivated by quality based on viewership.

Heeeere we go again.

But it DOES happen. I’ve personally witnessed it and know people who have.. This isn’t a commentary on everyone, but to suggest that being trans precludes you from mental health issues, attention seeking and serious problematic dishonesty is absurd. There are absolutely trans people who for what ever reason, be it…

Did we really have to jam the #MeToo fiasco in here? That had absolutely nothing to do with gaming. You have every right to be upset about it, but seeing it in a list of video game disappointments just feels like an eye-roller.

Wow kotaku, just wow. You’ve been slipping for a while now, but this? You’re clearly just lashing out in petty outrage over Bethesda blacklisting you on a smash hit. Even if the game is ultimately received poorly, it’s sold a mountain of copies and has thus far gotten nothing but positive marks everywhere I’ve looked.…

Lord God almighty here we go again. Literally every single episode of this show that has been hailed as an example of just how amazing it is, theres some “journalist” trying to keep his edge on by putting it down, all under the guise of “well it’s just my opinion man.”
