Re: Game Gabbin' News

I understand your rationale for wanting things to cool down, but unfortunately that would guarantee that nothing changes. Regardless of what your thoughts are on Zoe Quinn or who is to blame for this entire debacle, game journalism needs to change. The most vocal and influential players involved in ...

Re: Game Gabbin' News

There isn't really any reason to fight people over something that can more effectively be discussed, and trying to find common ground would be better then trying to just push the people you disagree with until they are out of the picture This sentence confuses me because it seems to me that changin...

Re: Game Gabbin' News

Of course it's worth it, they're basically the faces of the industry. They do a large part to control what's popular. But see control is an illusion. If you choose to not let it affect you they have no control over what you play ;o Even if it doesn't affect you personally, it does affect what the m...

Re: The Current Events Thread

I know this is a foreign concept to some people, but different cultures can require different governing and lawmaking. There isn't really a set of policies that works for every one. Generally you see a call for independence when a substantial minority of a country becomes really dissatisfied with th...

Re: The Current Events Thread

Independence is an issue that gets brought up in Belgium a lot as well (although it's less an independent state and more plain splitting the country in half) and the one thing almost every one seems to agree on that it's a bad move economically and financially. The smaller you get as a country, the ...

Re: Game Gabbin' News

There are definitely assholes who used gamergate as excuse to harass people and do "le epic raids". Discussing what "gamergate was about" is pointless because it's a concept and a concept can be used to suit any one's purpose. If I had to wager a guess I'd say the reason this blew up so much is beca...

Re: Taboo Topics (Heavily moderated)

I think the issue is often that you feel the need to point race out rather than what term you use.

Re: The Elder Scrolls

I'd recommend doing at least one House questline if you haven't already, particularly Telvanni. You geta cool wizard tower and stuff.

Re: General Game Gabbin'

Why take a side anyway? I support cool projects like TFYC and I don't support people who resort to low-handed tactics to promote their shitty games. I don't give two shits about anything else.

Re: General Game Gabbin'

My understanding of the Gamergate shit: Quinn makes a pretty shitty videogame that no one cared about prior to this controversy. Quinn allegedly had sexual relationships with journalists who proceeded to promote the game. Quinn also faked being harassed online (by wizardchan of all places) to garner...

Re: Movies

Saw Hercules, it was ok. I'd say

first half < iron man
second half > iron man

3D was alright too for once. There was a scene with a dagger flying towards the screen that got me for some reason. Curious to see how the Rock will perform as Black Adam.
