    Why are we afraid of criticism?

    That's assuming the criticism that some publications are producing isn't a complete pile of sensationalist rubbish, without a shred of logic or evidence to hold that criticism up in the face of examination while claiming criticism of it is harassment and sexism. Making the assumption that...

    Destiny Review - World of Chorecraft

    Yep, the narrator and the journal entries were all fantastic. The drawings, even the cartoon cut scenes, I loved those games. They didn't really give a whole lot of detail in the back story as to what happened before Balor and the Fallen Lords attacked, but they gave enough so we could...

    Destiny Review - World of Chorecraft

    I think that's the biggest issue with Destiny at the moment, the story, or the lack there of to be precise. PvP FPS mechanics, very solid and enjoyable, the weapons and play style is like any FPS with added powers and progression, crafting armour weapons and visual styles are all great...

    Is it time for feminists to step off our hobby?

    That is such an utterly ridiculous thing to say. You do realise that women are more likely to vote than men. In fact I believe 65% of the people who vote in the US are women, and yet they still elect men. What's your plan? Push more women into politics even if they're unsuited or don't want to...

    Is it time for feminists to step off our hobby?

    See that's the problem, right there, and you haven't even noticed. If the market is so wide and more women than ever are in gaming, then why don't they play those types of games more? Namely, because they don't like what that game is specifically designed around eg FPS, Strategy etc. The...

    Editor's Note: Why I Still Call Myself a Gamer

    We'll see, if you put your money where your mouth is and do things correctly, I don't see a problem in the future. If you continue blindly supporting and promoting the cause of the SJWs, because you think it needs "signal boosting" this will bubble back up again and then we'll know you lied...

    Boy with autism gets tricked into fake ice bucket challenge. Gets bodily fluids dumped on him.

    Wow, I know kids can be nasty and mean, but that's just cruel.

    Demonization of Moviebob and other Escapist Staff

    Have you read her articles? They're utterly insane, none of the facts match up to what goes on, she comes out with bizarre conclusions based on nothing but hamster wheel logic. She's the best writer to list as a source if one wants to torpedo the credibility of their argument. If you want to...

    Demonization of Moviebob and other Escapist Staff

    Did I attack him? please point out where, go on. So far we've got my derision for Leigh Alexander, it's no secret that she bends facts or ignores things outright to fit whatever narrative she's driving, it's not even barely masked, that's why I likened her to those people, perhaps a bit...

    Demonization of Moviebob and other Escapist Staff

    Voicing an opinion does not entitle one to be a dick about it and not take flak for it. Chipman was, now he's whining about people not moving on, unsurprisingly he's made quite few people angry and he's got no one to blame but himself. But okay, saying it's bigotry is right up there with...

    Demonization of Moviebob and other Escapist Staff

    What, the article written by Leigh Alexander? Hahahaha oh wow, that woman is right up there with the Holocaust deniers, a complete an utter loon, not a single word that comes out of that woman's mouth isn't twisted, I think at this point she's lost her grip on reality and is just pulling facts...

    Demonization of Moviebob and other Escapist Staff

    The issue becomes whenever the games media says "don't harass and insult people" we can just point to the likes of Chipman, Lee, Walker, Sessler Faraci and a dozen others and say "well you certainly didn't hold back, so why should we, get lost hypocrites" They can't tell people they shouldn't...

    Demonization of Moviebob and other Escapist Staff

    I agree that you can't behave in certain ways in the course of your employment or you're in the public eye. I always feel that people should be able to say what they want, when they want, how they want, but should also man up and take the consequences for their actions and what they say. Chipman...

    Demonization of Moviebob and other Escapist Staff

    Add to that Matt Lee, but given Tito's failure grasp reality and how to actually do his job (and before anyone says anything I'm going on Tito's reply detailing his failure to fact check anything and push an agenda if he thinks it's good, before okaying a story), which resulted in the Escapist...
