    Objectification? Sexualization? What do the ladies think?

    Thanks again for the links! That made for some interesting reading, and addressed most of my curiosities.

    Objectification? Sexualization? What do the ladies think?

    Thanks for the link JellySlimerMan, I'm aware of GWW and her video's. Her rational approach to the subject is refreshing and interesting, though I feel her commentaries apply more to extreme social positions, primarily fringe feminism and MRM. My interest is in the realms of games and how it can...

    Objectification? Sexualization? What do the ladies think?

    This is hardly new ground for anyone here, so well trodden that we're nearly to the point of laying asphalt and calling it a highway. My questions here aren't about whether men or women get it worst, state of the industry etc. I'm hoping to hear about: Specific aspects that people, women in...

    Why do we have to have our games tell us no?

    As Innegativeion said, it's all in the balance. Having infinite choice isn't necessarily a positive thing. What value is there in MY particular answer if by simply doing anything would work? On the flip side, why am I bothering if I get to have no effective decision making? Another point...

    Lara's Damsel in Distress

    Quick disclaimer, not had the time to get to New Raider, though was very fond of the originals. What it sounds like the issue with Sam is character-craft. And hardly one that's isolated to her. It's all in the emotional distances. Having read some of the other comments Sam has a long history...

    EA Manager Calls Black Ops Brand "Tired"

    If only this were a school yard brawl. 'Cause that'd be mad. Each year, after the mud-slinging reaches critical mass, just before release, someone throws an honest to god gauntlet and they get into it. A big circle of suits forms up, two exec's (preferably marketing) just pound on each other...

    Quickest way to get fit?

    There are plenty of ways to get fit, however it depends on what your goals, resources and restictions are. Your first concern should be managing that ankle injury. If after a month you're still having difficulty with pain or mobility then it's definitely time to see a doctor, or in the very...

    The issue of gamer "entitlement".

    Two critical problems with addressing these types of issues; Definition and Action. After 100 posts there's only a vague consesus on what 'entitlement' is. What rights and expectations are involved? What recourse is available should these rights and valid expectations are failed? For that...

    "Family Values" Groups Launch Email Campaign Against BioWare

    Interesting... The same source posits that the supernatural author is a genocidal sadistic baby murderer. Cherry pickin', it's awesome. OT: The most tiresome aspect of these kind of groups is that they insist on using family in their names or mission statements. Since when did it become...

    Poll: Socks and the secret habits of socks

    Short socks!!! In whatever colour 'cause you can't see em in my shoes :) Lately I haven't lost any! In fact I've started finding my housemates socks in my laundry. I pair them up soon as I wash them :3 They usually live in a pile under my desk for easy access.

    One Million Moms Want Same-Sex Archie Comic Out of Toys 'R' Us

    Mad props to Archie and Jon Goldwater (slick last name as well) for sticking with it (though I 'spose they would've had to have seen a backlash coming). Opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one and they all stink. That being said time to spread my cheeks and dump one out for y'all...
