I wonder if this is an actual policy change on Valves part, or if they just really hate penises.

It is really quite telling that the entirety of games "journalism" seems to be completely unaware that objectivity in a journalistic context is not the same thing as objectivity in a philosophical context.

Personally, I think the sentence "Death threats against [person or group] are deplorable and horrible and cannot be condoned" should come without the "however" regardless of who the person or group is. Jim seems to disagree.

Dear Ester is not a "video game": "game" in this case referring to a mammal living underwater. Discussions sure do get easier if you redefine words to back up your argument. Do I really need to point out all the holes in defining every activity done for leisure as a game? I'd rather spend my...

By the definition in this video, the Steam store, the menus on my phone, and the digital clock on the dashboard of my car are all video games. Personally, I'm offended that the sandwich I'm about to eat isn't on Wikipedias list of presidents of the united states. The editors are just a bunch...

And she's making this point to launch a campaign that seeks to "bring together one half of humanity in support of the other of humanity". This is explicitly not a campaign that's going to support any men, help any men or fix any problems faced by men. It's a call for men to support women, but...

I'm not really seeing why people are praising Emma Watsons speech so much. She, and the organization the speech is for, is basically going "I can see that men are hurting, but you know what would be really great? If you'd all man up and focus on fixing women's problems."

Complete list of decent human beings who think describing categories of people as subhuman vermin is ok: -

I'm pretty sure the game industry has outsourced treating its audience with giggling contempt to the journalists.

I demand gender and race options for Jimquisition. Forcing everyone to watch Jim be a white male every week is offensive.

Stopped watching after 1:30 because Jim thinks that there are multiple co-op protagonists.

Even if they had spent years animating the best female characters for co-op the world has ever seen, exactly zero people in the entire world would play as those characters because exactly 100% of people will be playing the same main character in co-op. At best, some other people would randomly...

There aren't "four dudes", there is one dude. The "roster" contains a single person. You play as the same main character no matter what. In co-op everyone plays the same dude, but appears to have slightly different facial hair and color coding on other people's screens.

Today I've learned that the internet isn't going to let something as unimportant as facts get in the way of a good outrage. Amazing how things have shifted from "We went with a customizable main character instead of selectable characters for co-op" to "There are 4 main characters, they are all...

So, the main argument in this thread seems to be that it's sexist/racist that Arno can't go to the tailor and equip boobs and become black?
