    Are mainstream devs deliberately discouraging women from gaming?

    I think I'll pass to avoid a potential cataclysmic scenario. It's suddenly dawning on me that this forum seems largely populated by what appear to be 50-year-olds obsessed with political correctness and reality at large. Weirdest gaming forum ever. That isn't to say it doesn't belong...

    How do you feel about the fight against Used Sales?

    Announcing the Winners of the WoW Caption Contest!

    I can't believe I spent a good 20 minutes thinking up original, creative captions with a basis in WoW gameplay and lore just to be beaten by pop culture references. I usually never post things like this, since I actually enjoy seeing superior creative works winning various contests I've...
