This is the closest thing I have to a ghost story. It isn't scary, but it is haunting.

So this really surreal story comes from a combination of having a great memory and a lot of lucid dreams. Several years ago, I had a dream where I was walking down a generic town block and I got this crazy sense of deja vu. I realize that I've seen this block before, in a dream I had when I was 12. I look to my…

Anyone from the Baltimore/DC area may have heard of "Hell House" just north of Old Ellicott City. It used to be a college that fell into disrepair/arson/vandalism and so on. You can read more here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Mary%…) and a quick image search will show some cool pictures of it, but here's my own…

Ok, you made me laugh at the shitstorm with that. Sorry I only had one star to give .

So basically you're a centrist fetishist who dabbles in false equivalency like all other centrist fetishists.

Shut the fuck up, asshole.

You want to talk about "games journalism ethics"? Fucking talk about "games journalism ethics."

I've yet to see any "extreme" feminism on display throughout all this. Wanting to have women play a greater role in the gaming industry and to have more women playing a larger range of roles in games is hardly extreme. The most extreme I've seen of feminism is the desire to reduce the "boys' club" mentality that…

you are likening Anita Sarkeesian to Mary Daly. You have no idea what you're talking about.

To be fair, they could be present wife beaters. Basically, it's been an excuse for pieces of shit to be pieces of shit.

Exactly. It's basically a Tea Party movement for gaming nerds. And much like the Tea Party, it doesn't actually stand for anything, except white males screaming and crying incoherently because the world refuses to bend over backwards for them (any more than it already does.)

It might be time for a rebranding, friend. The term gamergate is toxic. If you're TRULY only concerned with journalistic standards within the gaming community, you're going to need a new name, because a few bad apples have spoiled your barrel.

But Islam was around before terrorists. These people have always been with gamer-gate and they were likely one of the main driving forces behind its inception. I mean, nothing fuels a movement like some good old fashioned passionate hatred.

this may be hard to believe but, guns in fact, can discharge without simply pulling then trigger.

You mean like the famous Dirk Anger? (Oh Nextwave, I still love you)

That certainly could be part of the problem, Other Barry. However, Shanghai is plagued by the same problem, but the level of competency is much higher. Part of that might just be that parents (at least those with resources) place more value on English, though, and get their children more hours of lessons outside…

And some examples of this are...where? I don't recall the Chip'n'dales in the GTA strip clubs. I sure as hell don't remember a bathing-suit dlc for Nathan Drake? Where's Master Chief's skin body suit alt?

How many examples isn't cherry picking?
