That is a bit hyperbolic... football players aren’t even allowed to celebrate a touchdown anymore because it comes off as a criticism of the other team (unsportsmanlike behavior) and that little change had pretty much zero impact on the viability of that “competitive event”.

If there has been a decline in Football’s…

I doubt there will be much trouble counter-suing... in this case. The lawsuits are only frivolous when the defendants aren’t obviously guilty of the thing they are being sued over.

My obsessive/compulsive snooping already had me suspicious of the killer (tons of clues in their apartment, from the very start, that are related to the evidence at the crime scene)... the first interview with them made it kind of obvious. I spent the whole rest of the mission wishing I hadn’t snooped around so much…

Yeah... who cares about what cops actually have to deal with on a daily basis. If we’re not careful we might start feeling empathy for them. *shudder*

You just described the the most prevalent motive underlying social media, in general.

I buy most of my Steam games through GMG (almost always cheaper). This is pretty lame.

The game is nearly complete, supposedly. Blizzard’s position is such that even a completed game (worked on for years) won’t be released if there is the remotest chance that it could have a negative impact on their brand.

I sometimes wonder if they maybe have a deep dark, heavily secured, room full of games just like…

I mean, a lot of games have sold well only to turn out to be broken at launch. If companies only cared about the money, that’s something they’d barely notice

However, I do think that a lot of games throw in scantily clad women simply to appeal to male gamers in their teens and twenties, and I don’t think that’s necessary and I see why a lot of female gamers find that off-putting.

It was a 45 minute chase so, this is just a theory, but at some point they may have called in unmarked cars to attempt to trick/trap him. I mean... the truck that ultimately did the most to push the suspect off the road looked to just be a civilian he could drive past... until it suddenly veered in to him. *shrug*

There are other news sources reporting that the suspect fired at police before the 45 minute chase. I think it was a safe assumption that he had a firearm in the car but... I don’t know. I’m not going to pretend to be an expert on appropriate uses of force. It looks bad from a helicopter but the guy could have had a…

Wow... that looks pretty bad. I mean... the cop that fired may have had a gun pointed at him at that moment and some reports indicate that the suspect had already been firing at them both before and during the chase, but... yikes.

The quick change away from that shot was a pretty understandable move, though. It’s…

Your comment would be interesting if it actually engaged with any of my comments on any level.

I’m not sure how many different ways I can say the same thing. I have never gone back and edited a comment after seeing a reply. I have made short comments and added to them to elaborate (making them longer). In rare instances people reply while I’m editing during the narrow window in which we are all permitted to…

You really seem to put a lot of effort in to misunderstanding my comments. I never said I went back and edited anything after reading replies. If I had seen a reply I would not have gone back and edited. I used the provided 5-10m to edit my replies and in some rare instances people reply while I’m doing that (I find…

Again, as I said previously, you make your point unassailable by making it indefensible.

Please indicate a single place where my arguments have been unable to engage with your quotes of my comments. I’ll wait. Was there a single instance where my comments “changed” in a meaningful way during the 5-10m editing window?! Is using the 5-10m editing window that almost every blog/forum uses really…

It appears as though you’ve accurately summarized my position and how it relates to your points... then you say I haven’t engaged with any of your points. I am a bit baffled.

I agree with most everything you say. There are, of course, other variables at play here. There is a sort of amplification of things in video games that sort of mirrors what you see in comic books (whatever attributes are perceived as sexually desirable by the opposite sex tend to be exaggerated). The whole thing is…

I agree. The article’s examples and much of it’s commentary was focused on playable characters so that is what I was thinking about when I commented.

On a big tangent... I would never say that sexism isn’t a problem and isn’t prevalent in all of our media... but I also think it’s fair to say that when game developers…
