DayZ : Middle Earth.
I'd like to be Smaug. Then I could fly around burning everything in sight.
Note there's no game to it. All you can do is fly around taking it all in. But even that's a blast.
I don't follow. His name has been publicly associated with this incident for over a week. He identified himself when he published his apology on his Tumblr and when he replied to our request last week for comment. His name is a matter of public record and has been for some time. We've pulled back from posting Twitter…
When we finally talk, I'm struck immediately by how much Mercier feels obliged to qualify. Without asking, I learn how she dresses for work and professional events; how she acts in professional contexts; the image she strives to project; her boundaries for friends and friendly acquaintances and colleagues.

Lack of a solid no doesn't equal yes. Do you also think that about sex?

Um, well it's pretty common. That's not to say it doesn't happen elsewhere. But where's the point in just sitting back and going, "Welp, it's not my job to fix it, hurr hurr."? The game industry should strive to be better.
I have to roll my eyes at all the, "but this happens everywhere! Not just in the games industry!" posts, as if that somehow makes everything okay.

I think I can explain.
Why would you ever think making sexual advances is okay in a professional context?
They are willing. They do speak out. They are speaking out.
There have already been all those comments.
Sorry, but you can't write it off. It is easy to say you should, but given the history of women being harassed by men due to their gender, talking about it is always infinitely better than ignoring. If you ignore it, it will happen again, if you talk about it maybe next time someone will think about the repercussion…
If it's happening everywhere, then by that very supposition, this says everything about the gaming community and industry. And just as other industries and communities need to battle this behavior in their own respective groups, we too need to do our part in the gaming community.
Ugh, ok, PSA time.
There's the article.
My favorite WiFi passwords are along the lines of "WhyShouldITellYou" and alike.
