She was going to do just that before somebody made a terrorist threat. In addition to that, the threats sort of dovetail with a lot of the things she's talking about in terms of game content. She's being treated to misogyny in her personal life specifically for daring to talk about misogyny in games.

I don't think Sarkeesian is "claiming" anything. I think she's receiving these threatening, abusive, harassing messages, and simply refusing to be silent about it. After all, the entire point of the harassment is to get her to shut her mouth. Should she just give in to that? I think the whole criticism of, "Oh, she's…

Well, I'm pretty sure her dogged critics would have found out it was all fake by now if that were the case. After all, it would be exactly what they'd need to discredit her.

Dude, Anita Sarkeesian is nowhere near the level of "celebrity" that we can just brush this off as garden-variety harassment of a public figure by crazy people. It's true that, once you reach a certain level of fame, you're probably going to get fucking lunatics sending you all sorts of stuff, even if you never say or…

Because people who live in the major cesspits of the internet (4chan and various sub-Reddits) also happen to be disproportionately male and gamers. Also, I think that film fans, readers, and so on, readily understand that issues like gender, for example, will be taken up by directors and authors, and are therefore far…

Okay, seems like this is basically the consensus. Maybe I'll wait for the PC version to go on sale sometime in the future.

I'm intrigued by Shadow of Mordor's combat and nemesis systems, but whenever I try to hype myself up for the big purchase, I can't help but fall back into the concern that ALL YOU EVER DO in the game is run around repetitively (and yes, perhaps satisfyingly) murdering orcs basically the ENTIRE time. Does the game have…

That's what I said. It was probably a ratings issue, where they determined that, relative to the show's budget (which, by the looks of it, must have been rather high) it just wasn't bringing in enough viewers.

Okay, but even if it costs less, you're talking about a scaled-down budget, too. Either way, it's expected to perform to a certain standard relative to the cost of production. I mean, why else would they have canceled it? This is typically why shows are taken off the air.

Look at it. It must have cost a fortune to produce in the first place. That's probably why it got canceled. The ratings couldn't justify the cost.

It's good shit. You won't regret it.

I know he's trying to continue it, but I feel like the end of the election arc is as good a finish as one could hope for. Some things are left hanging, of course, but I actually like that, because it underlines the notion that this isn't about some big climactic finish, but rather all of the experiences gathered along…

Oh yeah, definitely. I mean, it didn't all look like the video I posted above, but I do remember the overall quality being better earlier on, particularly when it came to direction and editing. Those two areas are super important for serialized anime where you don't necessarily have the budget for stellar animation in…

Well, first off, I think it's a grower. I actually got into the original series (from the late 90s) some years back. It was just on a whim, really, and I must admit I wasn't into the overall concept at first, either.

I really enjoyed Naruto at the beginning, but the quality took an enormous dive with Shippuuden, and was in rapid decline even before that (not to mention all the horrible, horrible filler crap that you had to endure because the studio was too greedy to just take effing breaks).

You can always go back and watch the modern Hunter X Hunter redux (which ended very recently, 148 episodes) if you haven't seen it already. It's worlds better than Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece.

Good. The story went to shit a long time ago, anyway.

Is the female voice done by Maggie from Extras?

You trashed his writing and then capped it off by asking if anyone was "surprised" by the allegations. I think it's pretty clear that you were trying to draw a connection between his work and his alleged actions. It's a stupid thing that we see all the time when "noted" individuals are part of allegations. If he were…

I "give a fuck" because I find it to be a pretty tasteless feature of pretty much any discussion of serious allegations involving a noted creative individual. Like, how often do you hear something like, "Well he was a shit insurance salesman, too, so I'm not surprised he ended up being a rapist"? That's pretty much…
