Funny you should insult me for visiting reddit when it is just another forum for discussing things just like you're doing right now on Kotaku.

Considering that there are subreddits for everything from radical Atheism to radical Islam, from Communism to Libertarianism, from cat pictures to pictures of dead people, from Aardvarks to Zebras, from Science to Gaming to Music to Technology, from feminism to men's rights, from Tumblr to Take That, you've sure done…
I'm not sure why you assume I'm "forever alone". I'm happily in a pretty long term relationship, actually :P
Fair enough. Thank you for not banning me just because I disagree, though :)
Considering that there are hundreds of thousands of people working in and around the gaming in industry, I would imagine there are quite a few 'bad apples'.
It's the same as it is here, though I only comment on the subreddits for Star Wars The Old Republic, the US TV show Elementary, the video game series Fable and occasionally the national subreddit for the United Kingdom/UKPolitics, where I maintain a centre-view. (pro gay rights, pro immigration, pro liberal economy,…
I'm pretty well-off, clean, and relatively healthy. I'm certainly not fat. I like crisps, but not the cheesy ones. And I have a good job, though it unfortunately requires me to wear a suit.
I don't have a camera (or a webcam, actually) on me, as my phone broke a while back so I'm using a crappy old Samsung from like 2004. But if you want a description, I'm a middle aged straight dude just dripping with that white/cis/straight/upper-middle class privilege that I'm sure you so adore.
This article, and many others, strongly suggests that this is a problem very specifically to do with the game industry. The reality is that sexism exists everywhere.
A drunk loser sent offensively sexual messages to an acquaintance. He steps down from his role and apologizes humbly.
They didn't expand his relationship with his wife enough. Would have been way more emotional if there had been playable flashbacks where he met her etc...
I love the Assassin's Creed games. In fact, I've loved all of them- every single one.
I too, would rather they work on another Dungeon Siege.
I thought that was strongly hinted, but it's not like Square would ever actually show a lesbian relationship so unfortunately I think it'll stay as friends in the sequel.
Honestly the new Lara is imho better. Seems more like a 'real' person, at least that's how it felt when I played the more recent Tomb Raider. Very much still posh British, and obviously attractive, but not exaggerated beyond proportion or oddly cartoony (as she looked in Underworld, for example).
The overreaction here is unbelievable. It isn't a government filter- it's a shitty, mediocre ISP filter that you can turn off by going on the isp website, logging in, and checking a box.
I have never heard of a European who watches American Football, unless they are also American or lived there for a really long time, and I've been all over the place there (and lived in the UK and Germany all my life)
GABE NEWELL POSTS ON REDDIT? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel this just supports the stereotype, not just on the Gawker network, but on the internet in general, that clearly everyone who is a big fan of games must be a 'geeky loser' who cannot communicate effectively, has no confidence, does not know how to express 'value', and needs a pseudo- Pick Up Artist to tell them…
I am 99% sure there was a post by a Bioware developers on the BSN saying that Mass Effect/Mass Effect 2 had a development cost of $20-$30m.
