There are absolutely legitimate reasons for this time be reviewed under anti trust laws. Disney would own roughly 2/3 of all media in the us. The lack of competition is something we should all recognize as an issue from the ISP debate. The government isn’t ruining things, corporations and a lack of government…

This is the single best story line if only for this:

Yessssss, I shall bookmark this post and then mark it for...DELETION!!!

Have you seen the streaming services for games? They’re all objectively terrible. If that is the future of gaming count me the hell out. Maybe some day it will be good but the technology and internet infrastructure (in the US at least) simply is not there. I know it’s a massive undertaking but every other art form at…

You really gotta admire Microsoft’s commitment to backwards compatibility. They’re really going for it. Even more so than Nintendo, who is kind of the king of backwards compatibility. It really frustrates me that Sony isn’t even really trying. There are so many games from the past that are just being lost to time…

I have to somewhat disagree. Ledger’s Joker was undoubtedly a high point, if not the highest point, of the movie. But there’s a lot to love about it. I thought the writing was great, everyone else’s performances were very very good, and the action was loads of fun. Even if someone else had played the Joker, I still…

I hate the phrase unwanted advances for cases like this. I mean I guy walks up to a girl in a bar and says “hay how about going to my place?” and she says “no”. That is an unwanted advance. Pulling out your wiener or trying to pressure a woman who works under you is a lot more.

Oh thank god. Not that Alonso is leaving, but the way Marvel has been going lately I was afraid the new EIC was going to be Nick Spencer.

HOLY FUCKITY FUCK.

couldn’t agree more

I agree with you. And I find it funny how I suddenly remembered this being brought up back in 1995.

This guy should be the one writing the articles.

Dumb article that only exists for a click, which in turn references a dumb essay that itself only exists for a click.

“Hey guys, some people used this art/historical moment/idea for racist/sexist/etc. purposes, and it is wrong wrong wrong to reference the art/historical moment/idea without referencing (read:…

Thanks for posting this Toovs. It really added to the conversation. Hopefully you’ll get a lot of internet points for it.

And most of the time they’re not simply doing it to “watch someone play a game”. I’m going to assume that in any case

“I quit my job helping kids because I wasn’t getting everything I wanted now I’m grown man who plays video games all day so that some of those same kids give me what little money they have”

I am so over contemporary game culture. Hanging out in a chat room while someone plays a game that maybe you don’t have? Sure; I…

First, speaking as an educator, I can totally understand why someone would leave the profession in a heartbeat, depending on the subject they teach.

I’m an English professor. I primarily teach Rhetorical Composition (academic argument/formal logic) and Literature. The absolute shit that so many people believe passes…

you said: “But showing a woman leaving Valkyrie’s bedroom isn’t “addressing her orientation” at all.”

But her character wasn’t important.

Was it a distraction because of the gay representation or because the romantic life of a minor side character is superfluous to the plot and themes of the larger narrative?
