I think it's really hard to care anymore. The New 52 shat all over my DC, and that put me off superhero comics enough that I only really read them when someone lends me a collected edition. My guess (without following the link; see above re not caring) is that they're going to try and make it...

"Actually Reed, it's about ethics in video game journalism!"

Not until we invent article-writing robots incapable of considering anything outside of a very narrow set of guidelines. Probably better to find somewhere that aligns with your biases than chase the impossible dream of a site that attempts to separate culture from...well, culture.

Escapist: I don't even understand why anyone would fly fish. Clearly everything was superior in the old days when we spear fished. Modern fishing is a travesty. Thanks for killing my hobby, fishing developers!

OH YEAH! Come, have a glass. You'll soon find all your troubles just...melt away...

I vote we go somewhere entirely unrelated to games, like a fly fishing forum, and warp it into Escapist 2.0

On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for all things drops to zero. Plus, you smell. OT: OH NO! If the Escapist goes, what shall become of my arbitrary numbers? My post count, my join date, my only true measures of worth in this confusing life! Oh god, what about my badges...

Conflation, my unfortunate brother. There are, I'm sure, perfectly reasonable GamerGaters who are actually concerned with the lack of journalistic ethics like yourself. However, there are definitely a lot of abusive, misognyist types using the hashtag/movement to vent their bile and shout...

Plus there was that one episode of Vernoica Mars where she goes "undercover" as a girl gamer at some kind of weird underground gaming club full of anti-social dudes terrified by her presence. Blech.

...are any of those things that require explanation? Not only do swords and knives have different weapon stats to show the difference, basic common sense provides as much as we need; shorter and lighter weapons are faster but less damaging, for instance, when swung. As for ladders and...

Nah, don't really matter what the blade is so long as the head comes off. In the first episode with Gordon Walker, Dean takes the head off one with a circular saw. /Supernatural geek

Hell no. Someone posts a declaration of war that isn't about feminism or gamergate? I'm all for it. OT: What's in it for me? I don't go around joining every League that asks, I'm not that kinda girl.

Thanks! That's cool, always good to be doing something creative. My girlfriend is forever pestering me to write creatively, but whenever I do I end up hating the results. Much easier to write about other people's work; those who can't do, become critics. If I were him, I'd have stuck with...

Most of your fights take place in open spaces. Sometimes you'll seige a castle or town and have running battles through the streets and castles, but more often on mountains or in forests. That said, while the atmosphere is hardly gothic it does do a good job of making you forget where you...

Not bad, not bad. Stressful, exciting, terrifying - if the doctors are correct with their dates, I will become a daddy before the end of the week! You? Eh, I dunno. It can get horrendously complex when you have to consider rules interactions, but if all you want to do is play big creatures...
