Guess I'm getting a PS4, then. I like being able to play games when my internet cuts out (which, you know, happens to most of us from time to time). So long, microsoft!

You consider YouTube comments interesting?

Yeah, why wouldn't they use men? It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the industry's issues with homosexuality, could it? As Anita said, a lot of these stories are about the main character recovering from a loss of masculinity because he failed to perform his patriarchal duty as a...

I just want Jade Empire 2. Please Bioware, please make Jade Empire 2.

What the hell are you even talking about? Did I say it did?

What these guys said. You know what? I give up. I give up! I'm a woman. I've been playing games since I was 8. I've followed The Escapist as well as many other gaming websites for years, and pretty much every time the issue of sexism comes up, I go through a certain process - I get a lot...

Did cover songs kill your family or something? You're being very harsh on them. And I think you're wrong, but I get the sense that you're not going to be easily persuaded on this.

I think you're underestimating the amount of work that goes into completely rewriting and recording a song the way JoCo did it. Nevertheless, it doesn't matter how unoriginal you think it is - Glee still took JoCo's work without asking. It's not unreasonable to suggest that they should have...

As a bi woman, I would be very uncomfortable showing any kind of affection for my girlfriend around some of the people in this thread. I'd like to say "get over it and don't be an asshole", but I'm afraid it'd fall on deaf ears.

I'm actually surprised that so many people here are saying the footage didn't affect them much. I've been playing violent video games since I was nine and I had to look away as soon as he put the gun in his mouth.

Thing is, you don't get to decide how another person is supposed to interpret the words you use. If you say 'fa*' in front of a gay person and they feel upset about it, "I didn't mean 'gay'" is not a very good excuse. I absolutely appreciate that you don't use it in front of strangers, but...

The only point I'm trying to get across is that he didn't think about the implications of what he said before he said it. Sure, it's entirely possible that including your girlfriend in your hobby when they're not that familiar with it is a scenario he relates to, I'm not at all saying he meant...
