Because the other kind of violence is likely to get the law involved, but (historically) sexual violence has a much higher probability of the law looking the other way: if the victim is a woman, because of institutional misogyny; if the victim is a man, because what are you, a woman?

Early on, Han Solo uses a lightsaber to cut open a Tauntaun...

I for one am excited that Archie Andrews has joined the Jedi Order. I bet Jughead is a bounty hunter now and they have to fight. Can’t wait for the big moral choice scene where Betty is like “come back to the light, come back to me!” and Veronica is like “bitch, you know you want to join me in the dark side. We…

The combat looks pretty basic and stiff to me. Very much alike to The Force Unleashed. At least give these Jedis some level of finesse and be able to chain their attacks between troopers like in Shadow of Mordor. The kill one enemy, kill the next enemy, kill the next enemy routine is gonna get old quick with no combo…

I don’t hate that.

I generally prefer female protagonists and relate to them better.

“ABD” means “all but dissertation.” I’ll be a psychologist right after I’ve defended in early June, my chair willing. I’m just not about to come call myself a psychologist when I still have one degree requirement left (although per NYS law I was a psychologist for 12 months last year during my doctoral internship,…

Do you trust a conservative Senator with, I’m just guessing here, approximately zero gaming experience to do the defining?  Because that’s where we’re at.

I’m particularly wary of the scary language around developers monetizing addiction in children. That’s... well, that language is not…

I think you're taking the article more seriously than you should. Reread it, cause it's pretty funny and lighthearted. 

Yeah. I’m able to enjoy something and also see it has flaws and be critical of those flaws.

I actually am enjoying Days Gone. Just want Deacon to shut up a bit.

I didn’t mention it here, but it is odd to have him yell REALLY loud about killing someone and then a moment later whisper about finding something. 

The golden ring of hell.

Only those that can get a hold of the Central Online Network Cerebral Hub are allowed to communicate.

Deadlier drinking game: Google “popular sitcoms” and then take a shot every time the cast photo of a series doesn’t feature a person of color. Meaningful inclusiveness is a very modern concept, and when most of everything is prominently white people, it can make you feel like an outsider.  

Drinking game: take a shot some asshole has a hissy fit anytime someone wonders why a major video game is missing an entire race and class of people.

This is a Very Dumb Take and you know it.

idk man I think it’s pretty fair to want our games to actually include people who aren’t seen in gaming as often
