My understanding was that part of the point of the game as a whole was to provoke discussion- it certainly accomplished that. Maybe not very deep or well informed conversation, but I guess it's better than no discussion.

The issue with this whole conversation (obviously in my own opinion) is that you can't force an entire medium to either be serious or non-serious at once. It's perfectly fair to examine each game individually and decide on a level of seriousness based on actual content and partly on the intent of the developers, but…

My own bad behavior? That's exactly the kind of finger pointing I'm talking about. I haven't done anything to exclude women from gaming. I AM a game dev and I work with women who are treated as equals in our office. Maybe you have trouble imagining this happens because I'm not American. And yet you feel the need to…

Did you even read what I said? Yes there are huge sexism issues, but they do not come from the video game industry. Do you not see that framing an entire industry as sexist (when it's not the cause of said sexism) damages that industry? It takes perceived value away from the industry, increases hostility, and very…

Again, my response was not to the article, it was entirely to you saying that "these problems ... don't happen to straight white guys".

I think you're misunderstanding my comments to mean that I think the article is invalid, should not have been written, is not important, or that I disagree with it's content- that is not the case.

My first response was not to the article, it was to you.

You're entirely missing the point. I'm not making it about men. Pointing the blame at men is making it about men, I'm trying to oppose what I think is inappropriate placement of blame.

That's where our opinions differ. You're claiming that women's problems in the workplace are caused primarily and directly by straight white guys, and I disagree. I think there's a larger picture, beyond deciding on an identifiable subgroup of people to place blame on.

I work in the industry, and I agree that the problems being discussed exist- but not more than in other industries, and quite often not as severely as is depicted in these kinds of articles (not denying that more extreme cases don't exist, I just don't think they're the norm).

I'm not the person who posted the first comment, and I never claimed the article was about strait white guys. I was simply trying to suggest that taking any extreme view (such as "everyone is actually equal, so get over it" or "strait white men are never wronged, thus their opinions are invalid") is probably an…

Those problems absolutely do happen to strait white guys- maybe not as often, but the world and the issues being discussed are clearly not as "black and white" as your comment implies.

"Help! People are trying to interact socially with me on a social network!"

@SpeedGibson, thanks for the explanation, it's what I wanted to know.

Maybe, but what if the underlying concept behind both clocks is wrong? If both clocks are the same, if they share a flaw, then one would be an unreliable measure of the other. I'd image that when working with such small measurements of time, there's lots of room for error. Admittedly, I'm mostly just "thinking out…

True, but either term serves my point. I'm simply asking how you can measure something without comparing it to something else.

But how could you know it's the most accurate/precise clock unless you have another clock or something to compare it to?

Maybe I didn't see the same video as everyone else, but I didn't see looks of "OMG broken Mac!" I saw looks of "Oh, that guy fell" or "What's that sound" or "What an idiot". Also, how is this a prank exactly? "Ha! Made you react! Take that!"

I feel like people that are saying "I can do this already" or "what's the point" to the TV related features are missing the point. These features might not be directed at the hardcore gamer- but do we not all benefit from a console that might be better received by the "non-gamers" we live with?

I'm all for standards, they're great and all, but part of what makes a good browser (at least as far as my opinion) is graceful handling of anything non-standard or unexpected. Knowingly and purposefully removing support for something that the browser is reasonably likely to encounter seems like backwards thinking to…
