It's not Twitter or the tweets themselves, but what they indicate that matters. It turns out that the Twitter whiners included a lot of progressive journalists, which is why a non-controversy involving "Influential US Film Critic James Rolfe" is suddenly making all kinds of news...

I also have to add, the excuse that "it doesn't affect you because you aren't obligated to participate" isn't available in this case. Even fans of Payday 2 would say that the worst part of the game (after shit netcode and total lack of anti-cheat) is the random drop system. There are only three...

It wouldn't matter if they undid all of it tomorrow. They burned all trust and goodwill anyone could possibly have had for them. And this is among the people who were willing to forgive Overkill's endless DLC, which already made the game "soft pay-to-win". As if all of the above wasn't...

Red Letter Media put a humorous spin on the same point, using their trademark sarcasm. "It's cool to say you're a nerd but it's not cool to be a nerd." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0C_Dnt7k_0] I blame the Big Bang Theory.

It may come as a shock to some readers, but I'd love a new Dawn of War game. It's incredibly frustrating that Games Workshop, which once guarded its IP so jealously, is now just handing it out to everyone who wants to develop some awful cancerous mobile game. Meanwhile, there hasn't been a...

Some sort of hybrid mage/warrior, in any game that will let me do it.

There is a great deal of evidence that pre-state societies were orders of magnitude more violent than modern ones. And the only people keeping the myth of the noble savage alive do so for ideological reasons: They believe that if we once admit that primitive societies were not an idyllic utopia...

Why does the game necessarily have to decline? If WoD had actually been good, a large portion of that spike would have stayed. Other old MMOs like EVE Online might have much more modest subscription numbers, but they've steadily risen since their launch. On the other hand, an initial large spike...

Risking a cheap shot here, but the casting for the Invisible Woman was absolutely perfect:

That's a projection. Here's what actually happened [http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/5063-WoW-Down-to-5-6-Million-Subscribers]: Initial hype followed by plummet. A lot of people didn't like it, and I can't blame them. What's there to like? The lore stopped being interesting the moment...

The days of the good old /tg/ are long gone.

Enlightening and Arthur Chu: Pick just one. "All The News That's Fit To Print"

The show has been milking brutal death scenes so often, and for so long, that some people are already speculating that Stannis is still alive purely because the moment of his death happened off-screen. I haven't heard any convincing theories as to what Brienne swung her sword at instead. Maybe...

Trust me, I do have a hard time believing that these people actually exist, and that they believe every word of what they write.

Poe's Law in full effect: "Logic is a white thing". It's the most racist thing I've read in a while. Then again, it is an attitude that is actually held among certain progressives [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYm5GKA4vpY]. So the thinking goes, formal logic is a "white thing", and going...
