    So the recent controversy about Channel Awesome mismanagement

    Oh it gets worse when you look at his history. He used to go by the name "internet aristocrat", the guy who did the "five guys" video about zoe quinn, kicking off the "quinspiracy" which led directly into gamergate. Seriously, fuck that guy.

    So the recent controversy about Channel Awesome mismanagement

    Eh, channel awesome always came across as an amateurish venture from the start. While I'm certain a lot of the issues raised are genuine, and channel awesome will probably sink now, I'm also just tired of the bandwagoning hate going on at the same time. I've seen so many people give their...

    How could Disney redeem itself from The Last Jedi?

    Zontar, I know you're a troll and all, but can you stop this constant no true scotsman thing? For example I'm certain you would take me for an SJW, and yet in the past month I have spent over 350 quid on renovating my main 40k army (amusingly tyranids, so take that for what it's worth). Ditto...

    Escapists, what are you OTHER interests?

    Depends on the day, my mood, and weather. If it's warm and sunny, I'll probably be kayaking (used to row, but good lord the training burned my enjoyment out of me). If it's raining I'll probably be working through my "to do list" of films and shows, often doing some basic critical breakdown...

    Gaming addiction being added to the ICD11.

    Waaaaah, they said something related to gaming that's negative. They're attacking me personally. No you don't get it, gaming is perfectly pure with no issues what so ever. I just want to play games. I just wanna vidya. Leave me alone. Seriously guys, I saw this and thought "Eh, probably for...

    Anonymous hacks FCC Database, releases all of Ajit Pai's personal information.

    Oh for fucks sake guys. I'm going to shed no tears for Pai getting some much deserved flakk for his actions, but just thinking about it for more than 5 seconds would reveal just how counter-productive this truely is. As ironic as this is to say, some people really need to actually step...

    In brief defence of Final Fantasy 8

    I can't be a fair judge of it I'm afraid, as I worked out how to break the game so quickly on my first playthrough with the junctioning system. Since I ruined the gameplay hook for myself, the rest of the game struggled due to it. But, I respect your views on the game as a whole. I mean, I...

    Jim Sterling gives Mario Odyssey 7/10

    I love how people complain that reviewers are bought out, and then we have a reviewer actually give their honest opinions and an honest score, he's just trying to be subversive or trolling. Then, add on top of this, he didn't even review the game, and this is all a fabrication. Seriously...

    Can we talk about the apparent culture of sexual abuse in the american film industry?

    I'm going to hope that you were just doubling down to try to win the argument here, but you have quite literally tried to claim that very clear coercion isn't coercion. This isn't casting couch stuff, which there could potentially be some debate on (assuming you don't have a foot in the...

    Can we talk about the apparent culture of sexual abuse in the american film industry?

    Ehhh, little bit of projection here and there, but overall one of your best ever post that I've ever seen zontar, good job. I will want to point out on your first part though. That is honest to god a definition of a rape culture. A culture that ignores, downplays or mitigates the publicity of...

    Do You...Collect?

    Can't say I collect games, but I have at least one copy of every card in the fftcg. Dunno if that counts.

    A Skip Button for Boss Fights

    This is a fair point, except for one thing. Let's plays aren't truly representative to a lot of games. A lot of games feature exploration as a major point of engagement. You can't get that from a lets play. In addition, if a lets play doesn't find certain parts of content, well guess you never...

    A Skip Button for Boss Fights

    Valid comparison if madden had any significant experience in it outside of gameplay. It does not. No-one buys it for the story, or the in game world. People buy madden to play a simulated version of american football. It's not comparable to say nier automata, which has a rich story and world...

    A Skip Button for Boss Fights

    Honestly I'd say something like this actually means developers are less likely to use them as a baseline player. If everyone can skip something if it's too hard, why would you hold back? You've given them the ability to move forward anyway.

    A Skip Button for Boss Fights

    Sure. Someone pays for the game, someone should be able to access all the game. Obvious caviates are multiplayer games, especially mmos, where their presence as an underskilled player can affect the experiences of those around them. But in single player games? Sure. Just lock off trophies and...
