I think Bubba leaked it. Am I wrong? And Gawker was approached and the powers that be were like, ok sure, without putting thought into it. Which is why Gawker seems so inconsistent - when they get approached with a story they think they have the moral ok like a 13 year old whose older sibling hands them a beer, when…

You think all men are exactly alike or there is a spectrum? Ok, well there is a spectrum with women too. The rest is just gender roles. What you’re saying is you do think women are individuals before you even get to the gender role thing.

In my personal experience, sci-fi, science fantasy, gritty realism usually comes from male authors.

And left-handed people are supposedly more creative than right-handed people, and so on. That’s about on the same level of assumption as what this guy said, which is to say, it factors little if at all.

I admit, I used to bitch at people complaining when it was obvious they hadn’t been on ARK in months, but the last few months something happened that is just ruining my and a friend’s PC. In fact I just got bumped three times and then had a crash dump so I’m very annoyed at the game right now. We live in different…

Sweet. Will it fix the quest bugs?

80's B-movie with an modern budget and effects

I have to admit I was surprised by that too. I guess he was pretty young when the Leeroy Jenkins vid was made.

Thank you for a decent counterpoint. It’s like this movie was being held to a non-existent high standard that was impossible to live up to. If it’s entertaining then sometimes that’s enough. And it’s not like there is a glut of sword and sorcery movies with orcs about. The constant bad press ahead of time has been…

So you’re Red Shirt Guy?

Three, asshole. I’m a woman who games and reads Kotaku too, ya big dumb dope who can’t see women in front of your face and thinks it supports your argument.

Kotaku does do articles on those games. The same authors who report firsthand on the “hardcore” games. The only one who doesn’t is Patricia Hernandez, probably because she would then be stereotyped as liking only those games by doofuses like you who are trying to chase women out of gaming by denying their existence.

This is the sweetest and most succinct comment. Seconded.

This site is the best run one tho. Consistently...consistent. And professional. And with a liberal take on things. I really value this site. I hope it stays the same. Io9 changed. :(

Cite your sources. Steam doesn’t ask for male/female status when you register, or at least it didn’t, and it hasn’t asked me since and it’s been years.

Dude, none of those gifs jibe with each other. Why four, why? Are you that overcome with emotion that you could do nothing else for five minutes but search your folders or the internet for four gifs? Three wasn’t enough to properly convey your...whatever feelings you’re trying to convey here? Were those three recs…

You’re...incredibly racist. You’re not even trying to be “white person vaguely complaining about a major metropolitcan city that is predominantly black” like the OP, no. You just went and spelled it out your problem with Atlanta. GTFO.

Um, 10 to 1 she’s not doing it intentionally to close down the conversation or avoid it entirely. It could be a sign of learned helplessness which would be from her parents I suppose or emotional abuse...I mean it’s not about manipulating you at all and she probably legit actually feels that way at the time she says…

They should do something nice for the parents because if they never teach their son about real danger vs video game danger they will be attending his funeral in the next few years and have a miserable lives.

Do you respect the Japanese culture so you need to have the game with their lens or is it just about your particular tastes? If your objection is the first, get the Japanese game - any person invested in another culture as a hobby has to run through hoops to be immersed in it. It’s a big world out there and you’re not…
