It's false equivalence. You also should probably look up the definition of hypocrisy.

Gasp, maybe because they feel alienated when a game caters purely to the opposite sex and tends to objectify them.

This game isn't an online game. Poker is played by millions of people every year, only a very small percentage of them get addicted. However it's the same with nearly anything in the whole world. People get addicted to MMOs, food, gambling, pornography, sex, work, etc. This is just a game that doesn't even use real…

A lot has changed in the 19 years since Sim City 2000 though. We as consumers tend to expect more from our simulations than we did nearly 2 decades ago. Sure Sim City 2000's simulation was basic, but it looks like it worked and balanced well with the gameplay. There are an awful lot of glitches with how many facets of…

Both are fairly objectionable but both in the end are stereotypical male fantasies. The one on the left is what the male wishes he was and the one on the right is what he wants his female to be. If we were to look at a female fantasy I tend to use David Willis' example from Shortpacked

And there are those back in the day who said cel animation wasn't real animation for similar reasoning.

Exactly. I think best course is take a picture of that person taking the picture and then bring it up to the appropriate staff/authorities. Public shaming with minimal context leads to lots of misunderstandings.

I personally think the whole #CreepShots thing sets a really bad precedent. If you see someone taking an inappropriate picture or touching inappropriately report them to convention staff. Your confusion is exactly why it's a bad idea. Don't do public shaming. It only leads to misunderstandings and the person is shamed…

But that's the thing. People aren't against regulations. They're against the ridiculous regulations that people want in place. 2/3 of all gun deaths are caused by handguns. Only something like 10% of all deaths due to weapons were because of assault rifles. So why do people say ban assault rifles when it's handguns?…

Exactly. My roommate was a pysch nurse at a hospital and she told horror stories all the time. Not of patients having episodes that they often did. The horror stories were how the system completely failed. How they regularly put people who they knew were going to harm someone or themselves in the immediate future…

Compare heart disease with countries that have largely vegetarian populations (e.g. India). Let's ban meat... Oh wait that's a ridiculous argument.

His electricity argument is a false analogy and it makes him look silly. The issue is electricity is NEEDED for a vacuum to work. The Internet is NEEDED for streaming, it is NEEDED for downloading, it is NOT NEEDED to run a game. It's like saying your blu-ray player needs to always be connected to the Internet to play…

It didn't seem too out of place to me. Especially that first battle. No longer were you in this Utopia where everyone was living this heavenly life but this was the real world. It fit perfectly that it happened during the interracial "lynch" scene. Sure the game hints that not everything is perfect in Columbia…

Well yeah, but I think the implication was that DeWitt lets himself get baptized as Comstock but lets Elizabeth drown him meaning any Comstock would have never existed. It is then left up for interpretation a bit that maybe DeWitt himself survived because the DeWitt that didn't accept baptism would have never been…

What plot holes? I mean I feel like there might have been a couple e.g. who killed the lighthouse operator, and some other minor stuff but for the most part I thought it was pretty solid.

Yeah, their press release didn't give much but if you actually go to the preorder section of the site it goes into a little bit more detail. From what I gathered the game is essentially Vox Populi vs Founders and Booker/Elizabeth are controlled by the game i.e. through cards and dice rolls. You're trying to capture…

For the sake of argument lets say him and Lucy Bradshaw are being honest when they said it isn't DRM, that just means Maxis was completely and wholly incapable of delivering and also don't know what MMO means. MMO mean Massive, as in everyone on the server is in the same persistent world. From what I gathered about…

I read that it's on the list of things to do. However as someone who works with a lot of mobile devs, iPhone development is often much easier since they just need to develop for the iPhone not every popular Android phone. I've tried to get into Android development and since there's so many versions of Android out…

God of War Chains of Olympus was a PSP game rereleased for PS3, which even with AA it still had a low polygon count which is why even at a high resolution wouldn't look great. It's comparing apples to oranges.

If it actually happened that's horrible. I mean it's a random claim on the Internet so I can't just believe it at face value, but if it is true that's really messed up on his part.
