    Bioware, Please Make A Plus-Sized Female Dragon Age Character!

    This is a weird article. Isn't the point of a Cosplay to dress as a character you like, rather than a character that physically resembles you? Surely the costume is more important than some minor physical differences. If you go do a google image search for Tifa Cosplay you'll see Cosplayers...

    The Ethics of "Project Harpoon"

    Reminds me a lot of the people that end up in meme pictures. Scumbag Steve, Sudden realisation guy or Overly attached girlfriend. They had photos on the net, endlessly reproduced. What can they do about it? Pretty much just roll with it. The internet has you now.

    4Channers makes Feminist event Scam, is found out rather quickly.

    Certainly not as good as 4chans's previous successful trolling attempts. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/endfathersday http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/free-bleeding http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bikini-bridge and trying to make money out of it too? For shame. 4chan, you sold out, it...

    Newsflash: Half-Life 3 Still Isn't Coming Out

    The ME3 ending controversy was an entirely different kettle of fish. Combine pre release hype and expectations. From game 1 you were expecting to make hard choices that meant there was no optimal solution and you'd have to sacrifice to succeed. ME1 and ME2 set the high mark for epic endings...

    First Look at Hatred - Spoiler: It's not very good

    That's Postal 2. The original postal was just a psychotic guy murdering people because he believed the world was against him. "The earth is hungry. Its heart throbs and demands cleansing. The earth is also thirsty..." Are quotes directly from that game all but said verbatim in Hatred at the...

    Poll: Kung Fury finally here

    Only had the chance to catch a few minutes of it on the train this morning. Reminds me a lot of the Blood Dragon videos, which is a good thing :)

    When you use the porcelain throne, you flush or you die.

    What is the cause of First Season Sci-fi Syndrome?

    Don't forget firefly. Season one was the best. Sci-Fi tends to find it's feet after the writers have had some time to get comfortable with the universe and the characters that populate it. In the case of Trek you had an entirely new cast of characters nobody knew anything about running...

    Time Magazine holds poll to ban a word in 2015. "Feminist" leading the poll [Final Update]

    Oh even better. In the UK they tried to get a whole bunch of politicians to wear those shirts. When the Prime Minister declined they shamed him for it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/29787347 Because obviously a man that doesn't proudly wear a feminist shirt has to be outed for his...

    Does Music Today Suck Now, Or Am I Finally 'Old'?

    Usually the best guide of whether music is good or not is if you listen to it years later after the initial buzz surrounding its release and endless repeating on syndicated radio has ended. How many songs of today do you think we'll still be listening to a decade from now? Not many I wager...

    Sword Art Online and sexual assault as tension(spoilers for SAO II)

    I'm gonna take back my last post, Episode 14 made things much, much better.

    Sword Art Online and sexual assault as tension(spoilers for SAO II)

    Honestly, the scene itself didn't bother me as it was executed because it was actually kinda realistic in setup. Sinon was a well developed character recovering from PTSD and overcame a personal challenge to fight back and frankly, this sort of situation is the kind of one that most frequently...

    The core problem with Tropes vs Women in Video Games

    The first Tropes Vs Women video uses a whole bunch of cherry picked and heavily edited, out of context video clips to make the point that "the damsel in distress trope is overused and the use of it is harmful to women". As such, she claims all uses of the damsel in the distress is sexist...

    #GamerGate Needs Damage Control Badly (Small OP Update)

    Well, this is the real problem right here. The honest criticism can't be found on any mainstream site and is difficult to find. You'll need to go on youtube, or some (uncensored) pages on reddit. Here's a good academic analysis of Tropes Vs. Women for example. http://youtu.be/bwwFx-tz9TY Now...

    #GamerGate Needs Damage Control Badly (Small OP Update)

    The primary issue with the argument of GamerGate Vs. SJW harassment argument is this. The people that throw out abuse supposedly on behalf of #GamerGate tend to be anonymous, and those that aren't tend to be ousted byh the community for A being dicks and B making the movement look bad. The...
