    CliffyB Thinks Used Games Are Bad, Sony is "Playing Us"

    ... And somehow the solution to this problem is to eliminate used games and rentals instead of figuring out how to develop and market within your means? Ugh. It's been years since a AAA game came out that I wanted to pay the full $60 for, and there are millions of people just like me. All...

    Female Friendzone?

    Nope. Only people the internet hates (ie, attractive women) are capable of friend-zoning people.

    X-COM Enemy Unknown Difficulty Curve

    Mind merge gives them a crit bonus. I think plasma pistols have like 10% base crit chance as well.

    We Are Our Avatars V (Closed)

    I'm just another nameless, indistinct face. I fade into the background, going about my insignificant business while more important things occur elsewhere.

    Poll: Your Pet is Drowning, and so is a Stranger.

    I don't know you. I love my cat. Also, I hear that a human's panic-flailing and grabbing can often result in dragging you under as often as not. Swimming to and grabbing someone is a good way to drown yourself. A flailing cat on the other hand doesn't have the mass to do that. It would be...

    Woman robs man on side of road, Two "samaritans" help her because she's a woman

    The article also says that she was allowed to flee the scene and he was not. If they were simply stopping the altercation (and not harboring any sexist attitudes) why would that be? Generally speaking men are not victims of sexism, but it does happen. Seems to me that it happened here.

    White People are... Better?

    Yes, the immediate effects of the explosion were hellish. But it was a numbers game. The only other option for beating the Japanese was to invade the mainland conventionally. Doing so would have caused vastly more civilian casualties (even if they died more "humanely") as well as blowing up...

    LoadingReadyRun: Fear Itself

    Ever since he got that promotion, Dale's Devil Character has started to spend his time hiding out in his office making scatalogical image macros to post on facebook. Though to be fair, that's his job now. For when Mark Zuckerberg finally bites it.

    The Felicia Day/Destructoid situation

    Today I learned that it's only sexist if you're being an ass to all women. Oh, and that firing someone who calls a woman a glorified booth babe is about defending the woman, not about solving our industry's problem with sexism. Because an individual can't be sexist to another individual.

    Poll: Choose a Chaos God to Worship

    Hail Slaanesh! Lays for everyone! ... Forever!
  11. Q

    The US should probably consider banning hate speech like the rest of the free world.

    Actually, the US's legal approach to free speech is not as avant-garde as you seem to think is. That is to say, Westboro Baptist Church can show up and be inbred, bigoted pigs at this man's funeral, but in a lot of contexts there are repercussions for spewing hate speech. Private-sector...

    Don't go to college (if you're in college, drop out)

    Well there's your problem. Not that business majors are dumb or anything, just that you have to go for a career that's in demand. I make $65,000 a year with my degree because there aren't as many people willing to get an engineering degree. The demand outstrips the supply. It really does...

    Playing as a Different Gender

    Double post I guess. The rules page came up twice.

    Playing as a Different Gender

    I'm a guy who doesn't mind playing female characters, and the reason is simple: If you're gonna watch the back end of a video game character 2 to 4 to 16 hours a day, it might as well be nice-looking. No one has really ever mistook me for a girl, so who cares?

    What do you guys think about teen pregnancy?

    This. Although I'm always a little bit freaked out when I think of the fact that there is apparently a whole subgenre of reality TV about how great teen pregnancy is.
