    Favorite anti-heroes

    I'm probably going to get hate for this considering the character is...divisive, but Jason Todd, the Red Hood. I first got exposure to him from the animated film Under the Red Hood, I found him to be more realistic than Batman, and there is something incredibly sadistically satisfying about...

    EDIT: Why aren't their more movies/games in which humans are not the focus or don't appear at all?

    Personally I think you have it backwards, cinema has become incredibly cynical and nihilistic these days, misanthropy is downright popular nowadays. It's gotten to the point that I've grown quite fed up with films like Avatar (humans are bastards, despite the insular bloodthristy culture of the...

    Ender's Game Author Asks For Tolerance After Boycott Threat

    I'm seeing a lot of 'but he doesn't incorporate his hatred into his books' arguments from Card's defenders, which is actually incorrect. Regardless if your personal opinions, Ender's Game was the only book of his to be unambiguously well-received, and even then he incorporated portions of his...

    Competitive Gamer Arrested For Hitting Ex-Girlfriend

    As a feminist: misandry is a thing, pretending it isn't just makes you look like a pretentious asshole constantly trying to belittle the opposition. Like it or not, the decentralized nature of the feminist movement does lead to the inclusion of psychopaths and idiots. Remember that news story...

    Sony Demands Cash For PlayStation 4 Online Play

    I'm noticing a trend with this specific contributor 'Sony Demands' while 'Microsoft Drops' or 'Microsoft Stops' or 'Microsoft Gives'. I don't want to throw any accusations out there (oh, who am I kidding?) but I think he might just be the slightest bit biased.

    "Entitled gamers" starting to remind me of "frivolous lawsuits".

    Aren't you the same asshole that told everyone to pop the tit out of their mouth and stop crying? The big mature man acting like such a mature adult that he couldn't go for five seconds without flinging insults at people he disagrees with, who magically has a job that he got based on his...

    Assassin's Creed Creator Says Nobody Cares About Discs Anymore

    Given that I support the used game market, despite not really using it myself, and that I quite like owning physical disks instead of shelling out money for downloads that I could lose with one bad power surge that forces my device to format itself, um, yeah, no. Weather in West Virginia can get...

    Games With Gold: Too little, too late

    It seems that people aren't taking the advice given when they're told not to forget, the Microsoft apologists are out in force, and they're possibly more obnoxious than the Nintendo Defense Force. Microsoft is not a poor company, they have a monopoly when it comes to computer software, but they...

    Escapist Monster Hunters

    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is making me seriously wish I had more disposable income to buy a WiiU, but I'm focusing on jumping ship from Microsoft and Xbox anything to Sony's PlayStation 3, I'm holding off on going next gen until I've got all the cards shown, or however that saying goes. With...

    The New York Times Criticizes The Last of Us for Having a Male Protagonist

    Rebel Raven stated it best, but to put it in the simplest way possible, companies choose to turn things that shouldn't be a big deal into a big deal (piracy, the sex of a character, etc) and thus we as consumers/gamers/whatever react to that. When a company actually feels the need to pander in...

    The Last of Us: Plot/Ending Discussion

    The thing that I liked about this ending, because apparently I'm not a misanthrope (getting quite tired of the stock 'lol, humans are parasites' crud) is that I ended up rooting against the protagonist. I wanted to stop, God did I want to stop, but I had to see it through to the end. And God...

    What is your gamer stereotype breaking hobby?

    Political activism, I'm very vocal about my views on...everything so I guess in a way you could consider me the gaming equivalent of a preacher sans the religious aspect. o.O I'm not sure if that's a good thing, but I like angry arguments and deep discussions so it's arguably fine in my books...

    The New York Times Criticizes The Last of Us for Having a Male Protagonist

    While I can understand your frustration over being pidgeon-holed, despite you just saying I can't get where you're coming from because I have a penis, I think maybe your rant will do more to damage your position than enforce it. Joel is not a dudebro, he's a grumpy old man who often struggles to...

    This is Why Criticizing Anita Sarkheesian is Irrelevant and Pointless

    So now your argument is 'well if you can't keep X out, you're as bad as X' so it's guilt by association? You realize literally anyone can be guilty of being a part of the Internet, right? Shall I turn this argument back against you by saying you're as bad as the transphobic radfems simply by...
