Stop Adding "Gate" To The End Of Words, The Scandal Had Nothing To Do With Fucking Water!

OT: I'm totally with you. I always feel like it's a way for people to make their controversy sound serious and legit (read 'make it sound more legit to themselves').

Have you seen their structures? OK, you should have, but did you notice something? They are really smooth and polished. Does this remind you of anything? Yes, indeed - Apple! I reckon that whatever the Protoss equivalent of Apple was actually took over the market and provides everything. So yeah - you have the Apple teleporting buildings but they only work with Apple approved power source and other Apple approved technologies. It would explain why their stuff is so expensive, too.

And the Terrans show us what happens if PCs win - they have modularity and some ugly but effective technology.

So the Zerg are Linux? A cluster-fuck of random 'versions' with no clear order beyond a single-minded core (kernal) and a lot of complicated steps in adapting to certain things.

Huh. Interesting way of looking at the Starcraft species.

What would we consider the Xel'Naga?

There is an additional joke in there with Bill Gates and "gating" but whatever. Use your imagination.

#GatesGatingGate?

I mean, since MS seems hell-bent on closing (gating off) the open nature of the OS/platform with their own version of the AppStore and DX exclusivity, seems fitting, no?

The Xel'Naga are obviously Linux - they are a higher species, after all. The Zerg are what happens when a race switches to a diet of fast food only. That's just grease, it ain't no "creep".

Sure. They've started going the Apple path. If we don't stop them, they'll take over the houses, as they've always envisioned. We are facing a bleak future where if we buy, say, a new toaster, the house would greet us with "YOU MUST BUY ADDITIONAL MICROSOFT PYLONS TO ACTIVATE THIS PRODUCT"

Ah. That would explain the smell...

And then, of course, after you manage to activate the toaster, you have to sign into Live before you can make toast with it.

They may take our lives but they'll never take our naming conventions!

USA! USA! USA!

Looks like #GateGate15 is in full swing!

 

[GundamSentinel]

Oddly enough, that was the #1 reason I didn't want anything to do with that discussion. If the people involved start to throw around such ridiculous terms, you know it won't go anywhere good.

It was stupid to begin with and got to make even less sense when it started to describe one side of the argument.

 

[Shiftygiant]

Yeah, fuck you Alex Baldwin for naming Gamergate

 

[snekadid]

Did Gamergate take place at the Gamergate luau for gay, lesbian, and transgender allegiance?
!

Nope, it took place on the Gamersgate.com site but removed the s to prevent google search confusion

Gategate begins....
