    Overwatch Anniversary Kicks Off with New Skins, Dances, and New Arena Maps

    "Largest-ever release of new Legendary skins." Until Blizzard can pull together enough collective shits about the people who purchase their products to actually put out substantial content at anything other than a pathetic rate, why should anyone care?

    You Now Need to Give Valve Your Telphone Number to Play DoTA 2

    Mentioning it in the article doesn't change the fact that the title is inaccurate and clickbait. I appreciate that they made the distinction in the article itself, but the title is still not representative of either the article or the truth. Your assumption is both likely incorrect and...

    You Now Need to Give Valve Your Telphone Number to Play DoTA 2

    The article title is very misleading; you do not need a phone number to play the game at all, you need a phone number to play the Ranked Matchmaking, which is a small subset of the available options. This kind of misleading title is really quite unprofessional and strikes me as either clickbait...

    So apparently JonTron is a racist

    I thought that we were talking about the disproportionate amount of crime committed by minority groups (specifically African Americans). If you are talking about that issue, then your insinuations more closely regard incarceration rates (which are also disproportionate but can be more easily...

    So apparently JonTron is a racist

    Most of it; as is fair to judge all people on the basis that they will work hard to create a good life for themselves Statements like that imply that all schools in Georgia are terrible (or that people from Georgia are stupid, take you pick) and that everyone from Seattle is privileged and...

    So apparently JonTron is a racist

    Lack of trust in or respect for law enforcement, even if it is a result of mistreatment in the past, does not in any way give someone the right to commit crime. In my view, part of being an American citizen is at least having some form of respect for law enforcement and the protection that they...

    So apparently JonTron is a racist

    In 2010, there were approximately 38 million African Americans in the US according to Census data; in 2010, about 1.1 million African American adults were arrested for offenses that did NOT include anything (everything from murder to gambling) of serious note. This is only 3% of the population...

    So apparently JonTron is a racist

    In the case of African Americans, I'd say that it's a lesser emphasis on education within the communities and rampant poverty/lack of responsibility and respect for the law (partially due to said lack of emphasis on education). In the case of illegal immigrants, it's usually also a case of lack...

    So apparently JonTron is a racist

    The thing is that most of the time as of late, the explanations from the left for the discrepancy are rather accusatory (institutional racism, discrimination by the justice system and police force, slavery) toward the white population and simply ignore the real problems. Some issues (such as...

    So apparently JonTron is a racist

    Statistically though, some minority groups commit a disproportionate amount of crime. While the statement was poorly phrased, the stats can generally back it up. Any given person is not more likely to inherently be a violent person because of their skin color, but across the US, the numbers are...

    So apparently JonTron is a racist

    To be honest, this "debate" was a joke from both sides: Jon is clearly not used to debating and couldn't form many coherent points (and properly defend them), and Destiny's debating "style" is rather frustrating (dodging questions, changing the scope of the debate as is convenient for his...

    Top 8 anime of all time

    Implying that all anime isn't trash. Also, Drake and Josh is best adult anime. The lolicon got to be too much after a while, though.

    Let's talk about The Witcher

    I really, REALLY wanted to love the Witcher series. On paper, it has everything that I would want in an RPG; a well-crafted world and a story that reacts to your choices, a strategic combat system, an in-depth and important crafting system, etc. I couldn't get through more than 5 hours of the...

    Favorite/Least favorite DBZ saga

    Cell Saga is my favorite, Buu Saga is my least favorite. Cell Saga introduced an intimidating, ever-changing villain that actually made progress and offered a real threat to the Z fighters (in my opinion, though Frieza was pretty intimidating too). Buu Saga is when the show slowed down and...

    A criticism of Bob Chipman

    Agreeing with the "28 seconds in" comments. He compares Bob to Chernobyl, then proceeds to over-exaggerate a comment that Bob made years ago and says, "Yeah, he's that fucking dumb." I had a longer comment explaining my thoughts, but this immature asshole isn't worth my time. If he's trying...
