Not so much. It does happen everywhere from time to time, but then HR is informed, the issue is investigated, and quite often the offender is fired.

Yes, it does, but in many industries women don't have to fear being quickly replaced if they complain, not like they would in gaming. Men too for that matter. I complaint is met seriously and often times the accused are terminated and find it very difficult to find a similar job. But in some of the more public…

I do not envy the inevitable tumblr raid of "check your privilege" posts you'll be receiving, and I say that as someone who absolutely cannot resist the urge to post a "guaranteed replies" post from time to time, just to see idiots froth at the mouth.

I would absolutely love to see a picture and short description of yourself before I read another word of your drivel.

They did that in Brotherhood with Ezio and Christina. In AC2 we saw them quickly together and break up as Ezio had to leave town after his dad and brothers were executed. In ACB there's the flashback sequences you play where Ezio had gone back to look for Christina and if I remember it goes through when they met till…

Shame, South Park is incredibly witty satire. The game looks fabulous. You really are going to be missing out.

Yeah, why aren't they making sub-par sequels to other people's IP, like usual?

Am I the only on who thought that Lara was in love with Sam, or am I just sliding further and further down into the abyss of dirty old mandom?

Nnnnnnnope, It is just a game. No one should expect "realism" or "a responsible social model" from this game any more-so than from Dinosaur Tycoon. I don't care what you're a professor of, sir, you should maybe ride a horse with shorter stilts on.

On Blizzard's forums, there was a while where you couldn't mention grape or grapefruit. That might still be the case.

Yep, my wife and I treated ourselves to Lufthansa First on our recent trip to India. Much better than what I remembered as a kid traveling, occasionally in First, in the 60s.

I'm in my final term at the University of Oregon, and one of the biggest Duck fans I ever met was actually a Peruvian. I met him in a UK hostel, and when I told him where I went to school, he got really excited. He showed me pictures of his room, and his school spirit put my school spirit to shame. So much green and…

When the game released, the computing world was undergoing a generational change. They tried to make a game whose graphics, scenery, loading, and enviro effects would stretch the abilities of computers 4 years from when it was released. The biggest issue ended up being the Unreal Engine the game was developed with. …

Microsoft funded us to almost $30M, after which there was a regime change at Microsoft and virtually all of the people we had been working with disappeared. The new people didn't want to make Vanguard... they really didn't want to make an MMO at all, and if they were, they wanted a Wow-clone-beater. We broke away…

I dunno... a quick survey of the IT department when I worked for a web-based company yielded "married with kids... newlywed..." and then "came to the Christmas party alone" about a dozen times.

Unfortunately a lot of people in real life support the stereotype and that's much worse (though I agree that this doesn't really belong here, it's only supported by the nerd aspect which feels thin imo). They're not all ~geeky losers~ but some of them tend to go dramatically left or right when it comes to…

I generally agree, but all of this advice is pretty damn spot on. Especially the trimming your profile, and making sure your primary photo is something that draws the eye. And yeah, believe it or not... A LOT of male gamers have absolutely no fashion sense, or real personal style. And that is a major, major turn off…

Ha you should see all the hate we get in the Jezebel articles. They had a doozy or two earlier this week.

I'm currently studying to get a degree in game design, so I have a lot of classes with people who'd be considered pretty intensely into gaming. I can say with confidence that a lot of them are exactly the type that would need this kind of advice. They talk awkwardly and they don't dress that well and they really don't…

Anyone else find this article, and the idea behind it, pretty patronising?
