All of these examples are the result of the same sexist mindset that leads to poor representation of women in media. Personally, I grew tired of the outdated patriarchal expectations that people pushed on me just because I was born with a Y chromosome. I can relate to gamers who feel a little...

Bad first impression. I didn't know who he was back then.

The internet hates my two favorite Escapist contributors. Great! (I disliked Sterling when he gave Kid Icarus Uprising a 5/10. But Jimquisition is great, so whatever.) Yes. Do it.

Super Mario 3D World is the game you should pick up right away. If you like to have friends over for games and you have plenty of wiimotes, Nintendoland is one of the best party games ever.

I'm confused about this too. Are they random episodes or is The Escapist just way behind?

Does anybody else think Nintendo's E3 showing this year was so good simply because the actual presentation was an easy-to-digest 45 minutes long? There was very little filler (except maybe the walls of yarn) and it's easy enough to rewatch the whole thing and get even more hyped over all the...

It's business. If you say things that will upset the consumer then you're costing your business money. You brought up Donald Sterling, who is a perfect example. What he said almost led to player strikes and boycotts. The fact that he was banned from the NBA and forced to sell his team likely...

Really earning that surname, Gary. For the record, I don't think Gary was defending Baldwin or Gibson. It's still pretty awful of him to keep bringing up the "run by Jews" stereotype of Hollywood. (After seeing the whole quote, I now believe he may have been defending them)

According to IMDB, Viridi is Princess Bubblegum.

Just a few years ago, his view on homosexuals would have been the status quo and 60-70% of the country would have agreed with him. I'm so happy to see that this is no longer the case. Now people have to hide from their bigotry like those people who would block black students from entering white...

My favorite is Boogerman's 20th Anniversary, but only because of how spectacularly it failed. My favorite successful Kickstarter is Mighty No. 9

A port of House of the Dead: Overkill was released on Steam as Typing of the Dead: Overkill. Cool concept, must have. The problem is that it's unstable and crashes (in my case, it crashes my computer as it attempts to load). After releasing a patch and some DLC, the problem persists. Needless to...

I like the video, but I disagree with the core premise. While I do agree that perception of gender roles results in "pink aisles" and many of the things you might see in an Anita Sarkeesian video, it's not a linear cause-and-effect relationship. It's more of a loop. "Pink aisles" and the use of...

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime is an absolute gem and I really regret that I didn't buy it new and boost its sales. It's one of the most overlooked awesome DS games. And I'm not even a fan of the Dragon Quest series of games.

The opening used to be longer. Huh. It's been so long that I totally forgot. I'm so happy to finally know what the ending line is.
