Yup.

First, on behalf of Florida to all who see the humor in this, you're welcome! We try to please. And, as the Dumbest State, we have to work at it.

Oh you just know, "certain otherwise reasonable Jezebel commenters" are about to light up the comments section with "How can white privelage exist if i don't get everything I want 100 percent of the time."

You didn't even read any of those articles did you? They were talking about people who consider themselves "real gamers" or "traditional gamers" in the face of an expanding number of people who are just "gamers".

For sure ... I need to start recording my sorties so they can see what can be done with something like an F4 Phantom (not the best plane I know which why I chose it).

I'll admit I don't read these sites that often, but when did they paint every single gamer as vile psychos? Is there a specific article that does it? Not trying to sound like a smartass, I'm genuinely asking because I haven't seen one.

#StopGamerGate is less about stopping use of the hashtag (which is pretty pointless, as you say) and more about stopping the mentality behind it. The one that hates women and uses 'ethics' as a shield (based on lies to start with anyway).

You GamerGaters want game journalism to look like you want it to? Do what you people always say whenever inclusion is brought up in gaming and make your own gaming website. It can't be that hard right?!

Words can not explain how terrible i am at Civ V. I cant win for anything but i refuse to play on easy dammit!

I'd offer one mild correction. It's true that this is probably the most vitriolic case of unexamined privilege we've seen in a long while, but the double-bind is that even though these are straight white males, they're the straight white males who are at the bottom of the totem pole. They're nurds. This is why…

Just to preempt an annoying line of thought before it takes root down here, #NotYourShield, or anyone objecting to the broader forces at work here using for an argument, "But I'm black," or, "I'm a woman," is not a good argument. It doesn't even hold up to its own internal logic. Minority vioces matter, and should be…

I'd hope the industry could support more than one game in space.

To take it a step further: in PSO you are fighting a Dark Force. In Destiny, you are fighting The Darkness.

Taylor Swift has slowly but surely grown on me (like a slow-growing fungus, I guess), and now I hope that one day we'll run into each other at a Manhattan fabric or yarn shop and become crafting buddies. "Do you even know about School Products yet, Tay-Tay???"

I am reading this article to remind myself why I left working in the video game industry. I work as a mechanical design and CNC router programmer / operator at a semiconductor cleaning equipment company now, but previously I worked as visual effects artist at an MMO game company. I miss the people I worked with…

"We had a number of interns working there on international visas..... whom we later learned were pressured to work 80+hour weeks (no overtime paid) under the threat of their visas being revoked. "

The problem is, when I spend eight hours a day programming, the last thing I want to do in my free time is fire up the computer and program some more.

volus vanguard. That is all

Oh, for sure, it's surprisingly awesome. I just have trouble playing it nowadays because I'm not willing to grind to the get the few URs I need, and a couple of the classes I really like (and weapons) could still use some balancing, and it annoys me that that'll never happen.
