That’s the harsh reality, and every person who is willing to see it increases the chance for justice. Abuse of power and discrimination has always been there, just out of sight if you weren’t a target. For sexual abuse by people in power, a vast culture of silence keeps their acts out of the public eye. We need to…

Well, I won’t jump on you, but even Lucas had reasons for why the prequel designs were so varied and ornate. It’s the difference between a confederacy of different cultures, and one over-arching, facsist regime.

Ralph McQuarrie is a personal art hero of mine. If you want to get a great overview of McQuarrie’s non-Star Wars work, Dreams and Visions press has released two, slightly different retrospective coffee table books. The Art of Ralph McQuarrie was the first printing, and will cost you an arm and a leg these days, while A…

It’s also a lazy, short-attention span remake of “But I’m A Cheerleader”

I always think of Dune when people discuss the merits of Trump (Rabban) versus Pence (Feyd):

He was frequent bit actor on UK TV, gained notoriety as the creator of Gavin and Stacy and was probably first noticed by American io9 readers as the guest star on couple of Doctor Who episodes. Then Into the Woods catapulted him to worldwide mediocrity.

Do you know what the margin is on game development? No, you obviously don’t. Setting aside the ones who win the lottery of tapping into gamer zeitgeist (League of Legends, PUBG), the rest are celebrating if they get a 10% margin. Most profit goes right back into player acquisition as old players churn out, as…

Full disclosure, I was in the game industry for 25 years, and ultimately left because of the widespread adoption of gambling and retail psychological tricks to extract money from players. That said, it’s easy for you to suggest there’s a simple solution to rising maintence costs from the outside, but you’re full of…

11th background from the top: Props to Paul Chadeisson for including the building from the original film that was kit-bashed from an upended Millenium Falcon model. :)

Clearly they’ve looked at the analytics data that iTunes harvests and determined that folks like you are enough of a minority that they don’t care if they piss you off. It’s one less feature to maintain for them.

Resist the illusion that this administration hasn’t done anything. On policy, sure, they absolutely suck. But this administration’s legacy will be the stacking of the DOJ with over 30 hard-line conservative judges...you know, the people that actually decide how laws and policies are enforced. Like, say, if a store can…

Unless you read at a first grade level and it takes you so long to read the opening couple of sentences that you waste half your day, STFU you entitled pissant.

That’s a huge oversimplification of their philosophies. MLK Jr. did adhere to a personal code of non-violence, but near the end of his life, especially in the “Other America” speech in 1967, had this to say:

Thank you Jason. One thing I hate most about the gamer community is the lack of understanding that developer /= publisher (or marketing). This thread is full of idiots who can’t make that distinction, and frankly they can all go to hell. It’s the primary reason why I left the game industry after two decades. Why put…

Not exactly. Several state Attorney Generals led by the Texas AG were set to file a suit that DACA is unconstitutional if the program didn’t expire on Sept 5. And of course, his advisers pushed that agenda as well.

Sorry, that’s a false equivalency. A streamer is putting out content in hopes of attracting an audience, and yes, content will be filtered through the audience’s tastes. However, “customers” are not a hive mind with a singular opinion so there’s no way that they can always be right. It’s up to the streamer to…

DICE nailed the visuals in the first game, that’s not even on my radar. The game design and the flight controls were major issues, and no trailer can alleviate those concerns. Will just have to wait until the MP beta in October to see if the game feels better.

I feel that the Clone Wars are where Yoda learned that lesson. There’s an element of remorse to Yoda’s acknowledgement of the beginning of the Clone Wars, and his scenes in RotS and the Clone Wars series show him grappling with the Jedi involvement. As such, his line in ESB still seems heartfelt.

See James from Big Brother 17, who was pretty badass and a proud, self-proclaimed “Asian redneck” -

Please, cut the “gamers are patient” bullshit...history disproves your claim.
