    Valve Pulls Controversial Game Hatred from Greenlight - Update

    People here have watched enough to know the game isn't purely about killing civilians, right? A lot of people here haven't even watched the trailer (that clearly shows police and SWAT shooting back) to know this isn't just a civilian slaughter sim. It's an isometric shooter with a 'lone gunman'...

    Doctor Who May Head Towards a Woman as the Doctor

    Fair enough, he definitely gets more hate than he deserves on the Micheal Bay scale but I think that's because he's failed to find a target audience. You see a Bay film and you know exactly what you're going to get, explosions and 'MERICA served up with a dose of slow-mo and doves. If that's all...

    Doctor Who May Head Towards a Woman as the Doctor

    Did I run over your dog or something? Calm down. 1) It's a figure of speech, don't take everything so seriously because one day hyperbole will kick your ass. 2) River - 'the mysterious one' to the point any decision she made could be explained as either 'she must know something we don't'...

    Doctor Who May Head Towards a Woman as the Doctor

    Some days I really hope Muppet, I mean Moffat, has a heart attack and can't write anymore. He wrote a passable "hipster/twat" for the last few incarnations but every side character has been one dimensional and flat. Capaldi doctor has been horribly treated in favour of building up a Clara arc...

    Anita Sarkeesian states that sexism against men is impossible

    Quite a large and vocal part though. It's not even just feminism, the whole "prejudice + power" argument is used by racists, sexists, and other bigots. Some lovely examples that may make you question your sanity (check the reblogs and comments if you want to be convinced its real, no satire...

    Why Straight White Guys Shouldn't Always Play Games As Themselves

    You might not have suggested anything, that's half of my problem, but I was explaining that given how capitalism works you need to provide companies incentive to change. If you don't they will keep doing what they do now. Come on, argue against capitalism with me. A female led Ass creed would...

    Why Straight White Guys Shouldn't Always Play Games As Themselves

    Transistor didn't do that well. It was an indie game with fairly low sales and a tiny cost allowing it to make a profit. Look at something like Dante's Inferno (a mediocre 3rd person action-adventure with a medium advertising presence) and compare it Remember me (a mediocre 3rd person...

    Why Straight White Guys Shouldn't Always Play Games As Themselves

    Yes, it was mediocre. Are you even readying what I write? would caps help you? you do seem to like using them. GOOD GAMES ARE GOOD GAMES REGARDLESS OF THEIR PROTAGONISTS MINORITY SATUS. MEDIOCRE GAMES CAN SCOOT BY BECAUSE THEY APPEAL TO BRO-GAMERS. GOOD GAMES THAT ALSO APPEAL TO BRO-GAMERS SELL...

    Why Straight White Guys Shouldn't Always Play Games As Themselves

    First of all no, nobody in group 1 really dislikes games based on their protagonists minority status. That was the whole point I was trying to make. It's the people in group 2 that you have to convince. As for 'where are these games?' well the most recent examples would be something like...

    Why Straight White Guys Shouldn't Always Play Games As Themselves

    Firstly a thing called capitalism is what makes things as skewed as they are. If you want change bitching online is considerably less effective than going out there and showing your support for games with female / black / gay characters which don't appeal to group 1. Sadly the only members of...

    Why Straight White Guys Shouldn't Always Play Games As Themselves

    There are 2 types of people in this world: 1) Those who role play their characters and couldn't care less about their race, gender, species, sexuality, ect... so long as the character is well written capable of sucking them into its universe. 2) Those who play games as themselves and get...

    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Sequel Teased

    I'm guessing the writer's never seen Robocop to recognise ED-209 when he says "Giant bipedal robot" Can't wait for this to be real, hopefully it'll capture the spark of insanity that made the first game work.

    OKCupid Asks Firefox Users To Support LGBT Rights, Switch Browsers

    Did the COMPANY issue anti-gay actions or speeches? No. Did the CEO use his position to spread his anti-gay views? No. Are the company supporting the CEO's actions? No. Are this specific group of LGBT members blaming the COMPANY for the actions of an INDIVIDUAL? Yes. Is this going to...

    Watch Dogs Delay Means Game Systems Were Not Cut For Sequel

    Release a buggy, half-finished mess and we all scream "You should have finished it before released instead of rushing it out the door!" Hold it back to fix problems found in testing and we all scream "Well you said we'd have it by now I'm not buying it you lied to us" Guy's, let's be...
