It really sounds like you are arguing FOR Libel/Defamation/Slander to be an okay thing. Worrying. It's more like there are laws, but lawsuits and court are a rich person's game. Also, social policies exist (welfare state, social security, unemployment insurance, environmental policy, pensions...

So publicly traded companies openly represented a particular political stance and other people openly showed their displeasure with it. Seems legitimate, out in the open, and specific action at the companies based on company specific decisions. What we have here though is a personal attack...

Based on how I've seen you posting EiMitch I would have been thrilled if you had actually been going "head on" with your detractors, instead of immediately dismissing the difficult arguments pointing to your flaws in reasoning, inventing definitions based on your personal bias and not what is...

I'd like to add a friendly reminder: if one could foresee such a backlash (as is manifestly obvious based upon the fact that this was OKC proposing a type of boycott), then it is not a stretch to say that said backlash is being taken advantage of to profit other individuals/companies. The...

I figured that's what you were getting at, and I understand that saying the story that way wouldn't exactly lend credit to your cause. I play HoN and LoL, and I know how bothersome negative feedback gets when the tide of war is going poorly. It's too bad when a virtual refuge turns into...

A sublime blend of Western and Japanese ideas of what a third person shooter can be. Fast-paced action, blisteringly-colorful particle effects, upgradeable weapons, ridiculous, over-the-top dialogue, with a cheesy, equally ridiculous and over-the-top twist. I don't know any other way to say...

This should go in a different forum than Game Discussion. Though, I personally stopped flaming people when I was ten, i survived this long, so I can't really relate to someone who can't suffer words that'll get them red-cheeked. Then again, it isn't the wrath that person is getting from...

Every company makes their products with cost and profit in mind. I'm sure the money they are saving on unnecessary functionality is going somewhere else: probably another franchise reboot/remake. So far Nintendo hasn't exactly been pushing many envelopes, with the exception of motion, or...

So much derp. Ubisoft should just save themselves some cash and stick to CD keys, everything else just makes everyone unhappy. I guess crackers can thank them for giving them a challenge to test their skills on, and whomever is programming the DRM for giving them a job. I can't imagine why...

Funny thing happened to me. I managed to successfully apply for a scholarship. The organization was called The Alliance for Minority Participation. I'm not a minority where I come from yet, and technically they aren't allowed to prevent any particular race from applying/receiving it. The...

I'd like to ask you if this is mostly about performance anxiety, or about your competitive desire to win? If it is really the anxiety because you don't feel like you are doing well, or don't feel like you know what you are doing, I would suggest finding a RL buddy to play with. At least with...

Perhaps, but as a role playing game (though the way we are approaching this game right now is like a dating sim) the opportunity to interact with the character over the course of the game could potentially give rise to some dynamism that could offer an emotionally charged scene that would make...

I think the real issue here is depression completely unrelated to ethnicity/race/culture/etc. This forum is probably the least helpful place to solve your issue. Why not stop by a counselor's office? I assume you go to a school of some sort that offers such a service, I'm sure you can work your...

I see many false correlations being made here, and plenty of straw-man arguments being knocked down, or invisible/unacknowledged audiences/stances: these are counter-productive to real discussion. The main question is what this community thinks about the issue. Not to draw a bunch of notes out...

I have really been enjoying the new addition of all these players, makes playing spy just like when it first came out ;D
