    The Felicia Day/Destructoid situation

    Oh yeah, and I forgot about Faith in Mirrors edge, she was one of the best power fantasies I've ever had, I fucking BECAME her for the time I played, I literally wanted to be her, and I didn't even find her that attractive, I just [platonic] loved her personality, athleticism and everything...

    The Felicia Day/Destructoid situation

    I never said I want all characters to be like that, I just don't see that problem that some are. I fucking loved Alyx Vance exactly the way she was, and Chell, well, she's a blank slate like Gordon Freeman so she's not really a character, just a skin for Portal, but it in no way inhibited my...

    Hindus Criticize Smite For "Trivializing" Their Religion

    YES THIS! Just the singularity of butthurt it would cause would be worth it alone! Crucify This!: The Game

    Deus Ex: HR....you could have been the one.

    I honestly felt like this could have been my favourite game ever. The scope, locations, plot, atmosphere, music and customisation and motivation were all spot on.... until that fucking last act. Firstly, the actual mechanics of the "pick one of 4 endings" machine was bullshit. Then, the...

    The Felicia Day/Destructoid situation

    White knights are the fucking worse part of the problem. They attract and empower the wrong kinds of girls to nerd bait and do all kinds of stupid attention seeking shit, when the quiet majority of girls don't actually give a fuck about sexism in gaming and just want to game. I've become...

    Hindus Criticize Smite For "Trivializing" Their Religion

    "HURR DURR everyone who is religious is stupid and gullible and arrogant cos I saw a documentary on the westburo baptist church.!" Don't prejudge a whole massive group of people. I'm an atheist, but have met plenty of decent reasonable religious people. Self righteous atheists like you are just...

    Hindus Criticize Smite For "Trivializing" Their Religion

    Blasphemy insults someones way of life, you could argue that religion is even more important and personal to someone than gender, which really only defines you very superficially. Honestly, I think both these people and the recent feminist surge are equally as retarded, but these guys have a...

    Hindus Criticize Smite For "Trivializing" Their Religion

    Some butthurt hindu's complain about their religion being trivialised in a game "Oh god fucking religious nutjobs, religion is dumb etc, it's only a game, cry more" Some batshit feminist complains about their gender being trivialised in a game "Oh god what a brave woman standing up to...

    Escape to the Movies: Rock of Ages

    Meh, I actually really enjoyed this. Expected to hate it because musicals are lame and I hate 80's rock, but I was in town with this chick who convinced me to go see it with her. It was silly as fuck, pretty fun, genuinely really funny in parts and Tom Cruz was fantastic. It's also...

    The Felicia Day/Destructoid situation

    "I don't know who someone is" "Therefore she isn't over represented" And how the hell isn't that expressing an opinion? And quite a bit =/= a couple of voice parts and some youtube videos, as well as pushing an annoying "GRRL GAMER XD" persona. And even then the only real "contribution"...

    Looked like a question to me! But then the white knight reaction begins and Whooosh!

    The Felicia Day/Destructoid situation

    As a journalist you generally represent yourself. I know yahtzee doesn't represent the escapist. Also, since when was journalism about sucking up and being nice to everyone. It's about perspectives and opinions. This is no better than that guy getting fired for giving Kane and Lynch a bad...

    The Felicia Day/Destructoid situation

    Might be offensive but it could also be a valid point. Part of journalism is also making valid points.

    The Felicia Day/Destructoid situation

    Yeah, and I think firing is taking it too far, and wouldn't happened was it not for the huge white knight misogyny witch hunt at the moment, and no one would have given a fuck had he said this about a guy. THAT's why I think it's fucked up.

    The Felicia Day/Destructoid situation

    Or...it's someone questioning someone's perceived over-representation in a medium, and nowhere near as one sided as you put it. I'm sure he knew about her and her contributions, and felt sick off seeing her so much in place of people he felt were more deserving. This is his opinion, no matter...
