Well I don't know about all that, because for some folks, hundreds of dollars are no biggie, so why not get a crack at the latest & greatest. It's the same logic of how stupid it is to buy an expensive car new - nothing loses value quicker than an expensive car. But some folks have money to burn.

Never mind "innocent until proven guilty", can we at least wait until he has been actually charged?

Actually, it's not pervasive, like, at all. In a sea of violent games, mainly showcasing violence again men/creatures/aliens/zombies, there are few tiny islands of violence against women. Mainly in sandbox games that feature entire crime-ridden worlds (where most crime is still male-on-male).

"That being said, I do agree there is a disproportionate amount of violence against women in gaming."

I can't say I love it. Let's just say "I accept it" - after all, awards show are kind of like Halloween.

Is it just me, or does it appear as though the guy in the red scarf is giving a handy to the guy in the green scarf?

I've got a friend who used to repair British PAL TV's. He said that the unofficial definition of NTSC was "Never Twice the Same Colour"

"No matter how you slice it, rapes will stop happening when rapists stop raping people."

Yup, just shove something that looks like a meat thermometer into the back of your neck and you're in business.

I for one cannot wait for my gaming pants.

The reason I suggested it is that I can't recall ever hearing a reporter ask a candidate, "So, what newspapers do you read?" It's not a typical question, but then again, maybe if I knew the context leading up to it, it would seem less out there.

I do love this clip, but part of me feels that Katie got a tip from someone who knows she doesn't read. "Hey Katie, whatever you do, ask her what she reads. Trust me - it'll be gold!"

I would not presume to advise women on matters of dating. That would feel like mansplaining (plus I already included a similar disclaimer).

I hear you. I advocate for simply ceasing communication with someone who's giving signs of a "fadeaway". If they're on the fence, your radio silence might motivate them; if not, you just saved face.

You gotta break out the rules early. I say "I'm not much of a texter. Send an email, or call."

One of the skills a successful dating human male must master is "knowing when you're being strung along". I'm getting better at it. Imagine a graph of message length over time. You gotta move on as soon as it flatlines.

Damn. Sniggety Snap. That Ice Cold like Coors.

me neither. This is dem/rep thing. They continue to pile looks-based shade on Hilary C.

When the first came out, it was on the bleeding edge graphically, and it was a highly playable puzzle-platformer (roots in Prince of Persia). Her pyramidic breasts were not major selling points, but did draw some media attention. There have been loads of games with far more prurient content released since the
