    Your reaction if we went to war with North Korea?

    1st scenario: we basically just declared war on China. I'm hopping on the first plane to a country neither side cares about, maybe Australia. 2nd scenario: we don't really have the time or money for an occupation, so I'd be pissed at our "leaders" in Washington over that, but it's not a...

    Target Audience

    Probably a combination of the fact that Saints Row isn't as much of a household name as GTA and the fact that, irreverent as the series is, it's actually one of the most inclusive franchises in the AAA space.

    A New Commandment for Developing Games With RPG Elements

    To be fair, you can do that in most games if you're skilled enough. Hell, the "Mostly Flesh and Steel" achievement in Dishonored is for doing exactly that.

    A New Commandment for Developing Games With RPG Elements

    I'd say Saints Row IV's taking away your powers was actually in service to a higher payoff:

    Anita Sarkeesian states that sexism against men is impossible

    No worries. Yeah, my main point was that since "reverse" sexism/racism/whatever is usually far less serious than the regular kind, it doesn't really make sense to devote equal attention to each. If one group is being insulted and the other is being assaulted, it's only logical to spend more time...

    Anita Sarkeesian states that sexism against men is impossible

    First off, that particular tweet, which I posted mostly because it was funny, was a guy talking about Ferguson saying that, and this is a direct quote, "black people are the most racist of all" because someone called him names. He was directly comparing being murdered to being made fun of and...

    Anita Sarkeesian states that sexism against men is impossible

    Prejudice without power isn't really the same thing at all. The whole thing reminds me of this: [tweet t=https://twitter.com/sweatpantspapi/status/539259309214162945] EDIT: just to clarify, the "early hours" being referred to are after the Ferguson grand jury decided not to indict. Black...

    Saints Row: Gat out of Hell Musical Trailer released

    Am I the only one reminded of the old South Park movie?

    Target Australia will no longer stock GTA5

    So actually listening to women instead of just assuming I know what's best for them is misogyny now? Interesting definition you have. Why are sex workers more likely to be victimized than other women? I'll give you a hint: it has to do with the fact that they can't go to the police and the fact...

    Target Australia will no longer stock GTA5

    First off, here [http://www.nswp.org/sites/nswp.org/files/Criminalisation%20of%20Clients-c.pdf]'s a link to a page listing some of the effects the Swedish model actually has on sex workers. It's not a pretty picture. Second, since I didn't want to presume to talk over actual sex workers, I asked...

    Target Australia will no longer stock GTA5

    This is a bit off-topic, but I noticed you using the phrase "prostituted women" to describe sex workers and I had to say: Do you know why sex workers get such a raw deal from society? Because of the stigma associated with their profession. Stigma that comes not only from conservative moral...

    Target Aus Pulls GTA V From Shelves, For Its "Violence Against Women" - Update

    Huh. I guess that would explain why they never seem to have any dildoes or liquid nitrogen in stock.

    Poll: Privilege

    You're saying that we should only use the word in situations that fit one definition, not the other. A brief conversation for analogy: In most of the cases I've seen it used, it's more of a response to comments along the lines of "keep your politics out of my games" or "I don't see a problem...

    Zero Punctuation: Far Cry 4 - F**k Eagles

    Personally, I'd recommend Blood Dragon. Less expensive, more fun. Also, Rex "Power" Colt is more entertaining than Jason Brody and Ajay Ghale put together.

    Erin Age: Keybearer

    That's understandable. Continuing to insist that the Reapers aren't real after Sovereign attacks? Not so much. Especially since their explanations for the attack (Saren made up the Reapers in order to get the Geth to follow him and Sovereign was actually made by the Geth) are mutually exclusive.
