    PewDiePie Addresses Recent Media Coverage Amidst Controversy

    No more jokes. Jokes are a thing of the past. So remember kids to never laugh or make anyone else laugh,because if you do that means you are laughing at someones' issues. So when are folks going to arrest and put on trial Mel Brooks? That lousy anti-Semite has been spreading Nazis...

    Someone explain Totalbiscuit's latest video to me

    Sigh* Because a british accent makes everything better? I think Break Stuff or Nookie would have been a better single to do this with. Either would have been far funnier. Rollin' was such a trash single off Chocolate Starfish.

    Call of Duty Black Ops 3 beta

    Black Ops III: CoD and Destiny had a baby. The sci-fi aesthetic I found appealing, not to futuristic but enough that it was still CoD. I really liked the use of Specialists as a kind of character class. The choice to not have them as customizable as past game's soldiers is worrying. I think...

    Joss Whedon deletes twitter account following mass of feminist criticism

    The entire social media thing that allows fans to voice their criticisms to the artists directly in real time is, frankly, garbage. At least with old fashion snail mail the editors/writers/artists of comics could pick a few worthwhile fan responses and discuss their merits in a response on the...

    Games Workshop and Specialist Games.

    I had 2000 points in an Ulthwe web strike force and another 1500 points in generic Ulthwe from back in 3rd(? when ever was the big Abbadon push on Cadia) edition, so trust me I feel your pain in the generic everything rule sets GW started to put out. GW's motto "Not Listening to the fa/tg/uys...

    Games Workshop and Specialist Games.

    Ah Specialist Games...the red headed step child of GW. I loved the Specailist Games released by GW in the 90's. From Bloodbowl, to Necromunda, to Mordihiem I could not get enough of those games and had a very dedicated group willing to ad-hoc rules and games for them. Mainly my friends were...

    Has anybody ever heard of Kafkatrapping?

    Yeah... The intent is to encourage people to recognise their position, but the practice is to use privilege as a way to shut down discussion by invalidating the privileged one's argument. It is a giant ad hominem some people on the internet use far too much. And the entire concept reminds me...

    Corruption in games journalism (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!)

    *cough* Destiny Hype *cough* Coming up on the Holiday shopping season we will be seeing a lot of these, unfortunately. I totally agree. If you are being paid to host a glorified press release than disclose it.

    Corruption in games journalism (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!)

    Why not start with one of these from shady to out right WHUT?! The Shadow of Mordor PR company's egregious contracts on Youtube. Patricia Hernandez writing about developer's games who were also her roommates. Gamespot's recent special event hyping the latest WoW expansion Warlords of...

    Operation Krampus? Is this really a thing?

    Zec help me out here your logic has me confused. I mean I have not liked Sarah Palin since 2008, does that make me a misogynist? Or Miley Cyrus since the hair cut and bad behavior. Boy my misogyny is off the scale I guess.... So GG cannot talk about them, or something that put them back in...

    An impartial observer's view of gamergate

    Person J: Since I have you all here. Have you guys seen the new Warlords of WoW expansion?! It is gonna be epic! Person MSM: No! No, we have to talk about the online harassment of women in the gaming! Average gamer: Huh? Wha? F' that noise. I am going to go play Call of Duty until the next...

    Operation Krampus? Is this really a thing?

    Yeah a lot of GG's think this is kind of dumb. GG is about ethics in games media not hurting the developers that did nothing wrong. It is an idea floated out there and it will rise or fall on its own merits. Since we have no real organization everyone can do their own thing this X-mas. I have...

    So this just happened with Anita Sarkeesian.

    Well let's hope the student is either bluffing, or just really bad at covering their tracks. I am sure the FBI will have a wonderful cell saved for the crazy. Horrible that she felt the need to cancel it will just encourage others to do this too. Never give in to bullies.

    I Canceled my Publisher's Club Subscription Today

    Define progressive for me here? Is it life long American Democrats like me? Feminists? People of color? LGBTQ? Marxists? Because we literally have them all. I have spoken to a self confessed Anarchist in the same thread as a self confessed Conservative about the threats a feminist woman that...

    I Canceled my Publisher's Club Subscription Today

    What you describe is not a Social Justice Warrior. It is a good person. Now do you try and get someone you disagree with banned from the site to make a "safe space"? Do you put someone on ignore that habitually has an opposing viewpoint to you especially on a controversial topic? Do you feel...
