    The Big Picture: Remembering the Real Jack Thompson

    What I feel is often lost on people in these discussions is an understanding of nuance. A 2010 meta-analysis [http://www.accers.net/Files/school/English/3rd%20Paper/Research/Anderson%20et%20al,%202010.pdf] of 136 papers detailing 381 tests involving 130,296 research participants found that...

    The Big Picture: Remembering the Real Jack Thompson

    Unrelated, but one thing that's been annoying me lately is how the anti-Anita crowd have been saying that her not "being able to name three games" on Colbert was some kind of smoking gun. I've been seeing it come up a lot with Thunderf00t's fans and it strikes me as a really weak way of saying...

    The Big Picture: Remembering the Real Jack Thompson

    Oh wow, Thunderf00t. Yeah, that guy's a total idiot. This is just one of the many ways in which he utterly fails.

    The Big Picture: Remembering the Real Jack Thompson

    YES, THIS. I'm so tired of people linking to KiteTails and her grasping at straws. I'm willing to guess that the main reason she's so popular is because the anti-Anita crowd thinks that having a woman agree with their opinion on gender politics somehow validates them.

    You guys will literally find any reason you can to play the victim to SJWs, won't you? Grow up.

    Why Straight White Guys Shouldn't Always Play Games As Themselves

    I'm just gonna say this, if you're "offended" by the idea that playing as someone not like you can increase empathy for others who are not like you, then no offense, but you're kind of an asshole.

    Married with Children as a Parody of Men's Rights Activists

    I'll admit, when I first saw the #YesAllWomen campaign I initially took it to be an attack on maleness, because the first example I saw of it was the "poisoned M&M" analogy that's been going around lately. It was a pretty bullshit analogy that can be applied to literally any group ever, and as a...

    What Has Nintendo Done Right Lately?

    What the hell is the big deal about region locking, anyway? I can't even think of any games in Japan that I'd want that aren't being localized.

    What Has Nintendo Done Right Lately?

    That sounds kind of like you're using your own negative experiences to justify a dislike of Nintendo rather than the actual quality of their games, which are still consistently very high when measured on their own merits. If your friends act like assholes to you, that's their problem, not...

    What Has Nintendo Done Right Lately?

    So, he makes fun of Skywards Sword for not offering anywhere near enough freedom, and yet at the same time he makes fun of Link Between World for offering what is far and away the greatest sense of player freedom in the entire franchise? I swear, it's like nothing can ever please him.

    Poll: Zelda as formulaic as COD?!!?!

    Well, no. Zelda always offers some new innovation to the series, be it a new artstyle and overall aesthetic, motion controls, or a new key gameplay mechanic. Zelda also has the advantage of not having a new game released every single years, so it doesn't wear out its welcome like CoD.

    Cyberattack Traced To Infected Refrigerator

    I remember watching Mega Man NT Warrior on Kids WB and thinking how crazy it was that things like microwaves would need to be connected to the internet, and now here it is happening for real

    Nintendo definitely needs some kind of corporate restructuring, similar to what Sony did shortly after the PS3's disastrous launch.
