Don't feed the troll. Ignore him and he will go away.

"Feminist dick measuring contest" Brilliantly paradoxical comment of the day. :P

I've been reading your other posts and I think what we disagree on is what the battle is and what the war is. I am focusing on this battle right now. The flaming, douchebaggery and 12 yearolditis permeating the gaming world is the war. A war I have really only been a spectator of.
But that doesn't mean it's not an

Actually, he lied about the dates to his editor and when he was called out on it he backpedaled and Kotaku were forced to grudgingly semi-apologize.

Ah, the old "we are wrong, but they are wronger" argument. Yes, I've never heard that before. And if you are going to look at the community as a whole, why do you insist on focusing on the negative, which you have in any subculture in the world, especially pop culture. Why does no one mention the 1 million dollars

Jeff Gerstmann fired for giving a negative review to a game heavily advertised on gamespot is not corruption? Then what is? The rest may be more in the realm of conflict of interest, but if you found out a journalist writing puff pieces on a politician was screwing him on the side, you'd raise an eyebrow, right? What

Look up Jeff Gerstman. Google "zoe quinn nathan garyson". Google Doritogate. Look at the disparity in review scores and user score on AAA on metacritic. And look at the responses of editors on online magazine when confronted with said cases: shut that craticism down. Hell, this whole mess started when Ms.Quinn used a

Ah. You must have attended the "just ignore opinions you don't like instead of challenging them with evidence" school of debate.

And yet there is not a shred of evidence for said harassment produced. No police reports produced. All you have is their word. You'd think that such massive harassment would have led to investigations, public statements from law enfrorcement, or even a mention of the case being investigated, with these things leaking

Show me the proof then. They sure as hell won't.

Good to see that the level om maturity on AV Club discussions have reached the level of youtube.

And another poorly researched snippet from the past weeks events makes its way nearly into the mainstream. There was little to no harassment, and at the same time, even more corruption and cronyism in the games "journalism" community was revealed. I guess the AV Club really wants to stick by their brother critics

Two Norwegian artists on the list… [Patriotism intensifies]

You should check out his interview on Top Gear where he is given a list of words to pronounce in his peculiar way and has the crowd laughing so hard after just 2 or 3.

This is still the best of the bunch:

If you like your porn mixed with electronica you can check out "The Uranus Experiment" with a soundtrack composed by members of The Prodigy and Massive Attack,

Germans still have a VERY complicated relationship with the second world war. My father was a student there in the 70's, learned fluent German and got to know a lot of the locals and was kind of surprised that the sum total of the education many of them had on the war was a lesson or two in middle school. Apart from

It doesn't make you rap any better at least. My experiences with karaoke can attest to that.

It's still not as dumb as most other mainstream hip-hop though.

You kind have have to give credit to a show that manages to give distinct personalities to characters that are all physically identical when quite a lot of shows don't manage to give any of their characters personalities at all.
