    A study on whether feminists are taking over video game publications

    :/ Are you certain about this? Anyways, in regards to that graph that was posted: that's a good visualization. Many people want more of everything; allowing for consumers to buy the games that appeal to them. However, I do believe there is the notion that only so many games are developed at a...

    Do you harbour prejudices against people who use drugs?

    Why tell anyone that you do drugs at all. If it's none of their business. The more information about an individual made public the more to be scrutinized and judged by others. Drug use itself isn't a problem so long as it doesn't become someone else's problem.

    Devin Faraci on what is driving the #gamergate gamers

    Article strikes me as overwhelmingly condescending.

    Far Cry 4 Creative Director Responds to Box Art Concerns of Racism

    Nothing to see here. I guess looking for imagined boogeymen make people feel good about themselves. I'm easily offended by absolutely nothing too though so i should be more tolerant i guess.

    X Rebirth 2.0 Relaunches With Bug Fixes and New Content

    I fought to get a refund for this game from steam, they refused (dicks). I'll never pre-order a game ever again because of rebirth and i'll never trust steam as a consumer friendly service either. F you Steam, and F you Eggosoft. (still a bit bitter)

    X Rebirth Launch Trailer Takes to the Stars

    Supposedly the learning curve shouldn't be as harsh in Rebirth.

    Egosoft Boss: X Rebirth "Reboot" Sheds Limitations of Legacy

    My sentiments exactly. X3 was my first X game and coming into it the UI felt clunky and cumbersome. I didn't even figure out how to do a lot of the fun stuff like sending merc to hijack a ship. I gave up after I bought a couple stations but I still enjoyed it anyways. I was really hoping for...

    X Rebirth Shows Off Its Gorgeous, Epic Space Battles

    Very excited for this. Supposedly the X game is supposed to make a lot of the more bothersome (for me) mechanics of running a space empire a little smoother. If only it had multiplayer. I hope this game sells a ton.

    World of Warcraft Bot Maker Suffers Crushing Defeat

    Without bots who will play WoW? The 7 million judgement is pretty massive. How much money did the bot makers actually make?

    Double Fine Reveals Spacebase DF-9

    Im with you on that. My impression from the trailer is that it doesn't look as good as startopia, but it's still too early to say I guess. Oh well, I got my copy of startopia, maybe i ought to boot it up.

    A Game You Wished Sold Well, But Didn't :(

    It's a very niche game though, especially (NA) where I live. Turn-based tactical squad game with anime themes and style. Game I wish did better was Startopia, personal favorite as a kid. It's on GoG yay! I have to agree with the Alan Wake(ers) really enjoyed the atmosphere in that game.

    Rome 2: Horse Archers broken beyond belief.

    Towards the late game I disbanded all archery units and replaced with siege equipment. Battles are snooze fest now though.

    Sex! Sex! Sex! Please! Can I have your STI identification card first.

    Buddy, you latched onto one word I said and must have glazed over the rest of my post because it hurt your feelings or something. Read it again. The naivety stems from the echos of "if you sleep with a lot of people you'll get an STD" I never even talked about the idea of an STD card. Which...

    The History Channel - What happened?

    The History Channel is living proof that Idiocracy is not satire but a documentary of a prophecy. I used to love that channel, i could never get enough of it even as a wee 12 year old boy. I'd almost always choose to watch some interesting documentary over cartoons, and I loved it. Oh...

    Sex! Sex! Sex! Please! Can I have your STI identification card first.

    I think there's an awful lot a naivety here. If you have been with one person your whole life you are still at risk of catching a disease. If your partner has a little side dish on the side and that side dish was served with creme de la syphilis and they catch some of that STD madness now...
