You are wrong. Because you are assuming that the cheese in question is American cheese and you are assuming that the grill has too many damn hamburgers on it and is not hot enough. And you are assuming the chef is a damn control freak who puts condiments and lettuce and tomatoes on burgers for every damn person as if…

The French did win the war, though. It’s just that the battle established that the Mexican army could give a good account of itself and made it clear that the French probably could not hold the country indefinitely under force of arms. Arguably the battle is what allowed Juarez to continue to lead a…

Guilt-ridden cleric who used to worship a god that demanded human sacrifice and bloody wars against all enemies, but who quit to worship a deity of peace, healing and understanding, and so insisted on trying to negotiate with any remotely sentient creature and would only allow his party to fight if attacked first.…

Well, I think you’ve gone one further. If there was anyone left unannoyed, your typically smarmy self-righteousness and complete unwillingness to explore, say, anything like an actual issue as if you are alive and among us rather than some kind of algorithmic love child of Aimee Semple McPherson and Eugene Debs will…

And guess why people don’t like Gawker Media. Here’s a post where something the poster didn’t know changes everything about the post. So what do you get? A line added at the end once the author realizes, oh, fucking whoops. Rather than what you should get: an apology for the entire existence of the post. A correction.…

This is a depressingly corporate reply.

Here’s a potentially fun feature that really improves the gameplay! It is not working. So we’ll remove it.

I understand that this is supposedly to be a friendly, promotional article but it would not hurt to review WOTC/D&D’s very mixed record in this domain and ask a couple of modestly tough questions about whether they’re prepared to do it right this time.

Same for me. I’m sure it’s coincidental, but it is still very annoying.

Actually, maybe it isn’t: the game is prone to go bye-bye for a long time when I’ve had some very serious or substantial server interaction of an unexpected or intermittent kind—say, for example, a high CP spawn that “runs away” after one failed…

It’s a small thing, but if all you guys at Gawker Media could please contain your rage at the fact that Buzzfeed is reporting something in exactly the style and mode that you all have for years and years, it would help to not distract from all the good points some of you are making. Thanks.

On one hand: players of any game tend to lack proportionality, and massively-multiplayer online players even more so. So the complaints are often histrionic, self-centered, etc.

So I think in terms of Lee and Kirby’s introduction of the character that from the outset it really escaped the bounds of Tarzan-cliches, and that’s what’s let the character grow. Like Evan, I don’t know exactly how to credit that, or whether it was just dumb luck, because the character definitely skirts the edges of…

Why, it’s an

A version of Outpost that actually works! 21 years later than promised, but ok, better late than never.

Actually, I just read Gromann’s notes on the images. I appreciate that he’s trying to develop a game design and visuals in an African setting, but I think he’s going out of his way to invent an entirely imaginary or hypothetical setting when he could very easily use a real historical example that would give him some…

Professor reacts poorly to being hauled into a Title IX proceeding for having written an essay with which some disagree? In what way did “professor react poorly” to this development? What would you call “reacting well”? Saying, “Thank you, I needed to be accused of violating the rights of students in an opaque…

I remember, roughly around the fifth or sixth time I got shoved into a chain link fence and had my face dragged along it in fifth grade, reading John Bellairs' The House With a Clock in Its Walls and The Figure in the Shadows. I identified with Lewis in many ways, though not all of them (not the least because I didn't…

It's important to do an in-house rethink at Gawker Media about how to reduce the rate of this kind of unambiguously incorrect reporting, because it is hurting the causes that the stories are meant to help. This is not just one reporter's error, it is a pattern across Gawker Media's sites. When reporters at various…

Please tell me that the story and characterization is better. I couldn't stand FC3's loathsomely stupid protagonist and the stereotypes that surrounded him. I also got tired of having to have him do absolutely idiotic things in order to get to the next area or content.
