i mean the republican party is ratfuck between anarchocapitalist fascists and populist theocrats. DNC isn’t great but it isn’t that. Sorry friend, not everything is equal just because there’s two sides (unless you watch a lot of South Park, in which case it probably looks that way to you.)

The music’s just a track from Two Steps From Hell, who basically have a career of making music that is ‘music for trailers’ or ‘music for games, shows or movies that want to sound epic and sweeping but didn’t want to spend money.’

What ‘corporate’ job did you start at $25k with?

European Far Right parties are genealogically of a different stripe than Trump stuff, though. While you can look at Trump and say ‘oh, fascist nativist shit’, and look at like AfD in Germany and say ‘oh, they’re both having a moment,’ I still think they’re coming to that moment through much different routes.

I mean it is kinda funny until people start calling up random folks’ bosses accusing them of being pedophiles. And the death threats and stuff. I dunno, that’s not cool.

Because Gamergate craves legitimacy above all else - they need outside validation to prove to everyone that this is actually the dire philosophical battle they believe it is, and not just fanwanking over their hobby and their persecution complex. So when someone who has like a graduate degree or holds a officious job…

Scott Adams is a crazy twit who thinks that men going on shooting sprees because ‘men are designed to fuck and kill and when women won’t let them fuck, guess what happens’ or whatever his precise wording was, and actually spends his time creating sockpuppet critics to praise Dilbert on the internet. So yeah, not…

He’s a really dumb blowhard rich guy that owns a TV show. He has like a 50 word vocabulary that basically consists of ‘great’ ‘winning’ ‘loser’, so he’s a repetitive blowhard. He’s mostly ‘accomplished’ at making gawdy/hideous casinos and real eastate (though a lot of those are pretty big failures too).

Because he’s that awful?

Do you feel the same way about the Kojima-Konami stuff?

I mean, Marco Rubio gave a speech today about how he thinks Donald Trump peed his pants at the debate. We are well into kindergarten territory.

Nah. That’s South Park false equivalency bullshit. Having two sides doesn’t make something equal.

It’s like anti-complexity. Holtzclaw is actually the sort of worst stereotype of both college football players and police officers.

Oh honey. Howard Stern is not a good guide to behavior.

I backed PoE and Torment, I’m looking forward to the eventual RTS throwback kickstarters, maybe get the Westwood guys back together.

I mean there’s literally a scene in the show where a normal guy swallows a Red Pill and becomes a raging asshole. MRAs call their ‘awakening’ or w/e ‘taking the red pill’ in reference to the Matrix, so it could be coincidence or the show tweaking the notion.

This isn’t about hacking. It’s about matchfixing.

MLG actually hadn’t been performing well outside of CoD and some CSGO (their DotA events had been pretty badly managed and poorly attended even while other organizations were running successful events), and I think it’s more of a case of MLG dug themselves in a hole they couldn’t get out of on their own, and…

As a DotA fan, I’m just glad this means I’ll be able to stop watching tournaments using that shitty MLG web player they made everyone use.

I mean, tell that to all the Ron Paul guys in your IT department who believe they’re the Randian ubermensch because they got their MCSE certification, or the guys running off to join ISIS~ Or (to use a recent example) spend like, an hour at a holiday party for surgeons.
