It's given me no end of amusement. I just wrote it as a random little joke about the way people in game journalism say a lot of things that are just plain asinine. Bluinkalchemist asked if he could repost it. The sheer number of people that have believed it an honest article has just completely...

That's intentional. The piece was commentary about the state of game journalism. Part of that is editing. So yes, I intentionally skipped a number. I was curious if anyone would notice it.

Yeah. You've got me. (The subtitle for the original was "My Ode to Video Game Journalism.")

Good job. Because sexism is just as much a men's issue. We have to live in a bullshit world where men that drool at breasts and use words like 'ta-tas' represent cultured, reasonable and mature men poorly. You did say it. What a big boy, forming your own thoughts. However, wrong. There...

If anyone was interested, here's our Kickstarter campaign release for Machine Age Productions' first completely independent RPG: In addition to the various RPG work I've done with White Wolf, Catalyst, Paizo, Green Ronin and a number of other publishers, I've been working on a thing of my...

In promotion for my new game, I'm considering doing ladies' shirts. However, they're almost twice the price of male shirts. I'm not entirely sure why that is, but it's a bit of a deterrent.

Yeah. Weird quote. I've worked with White Wolf (Vampire the Requiem, Werewolf the Forsaken and Hunter the Vigil,) Catalyst Game Labs (Shadowrun and Eclipse Phase,) and a number of other things in various places.

First off, Victoriana is a pretty good steampunky game. Also, my friend Shawn Gaston is making an RPG based on his supercoolawesome webcomic "Clockworks." It'll trump anything I could do on that front, he's a steampunk aficionado. Second off, I had a blast. I've done this panel over a dozen...

I think Nintendo can point to a few million people per title that don't have a problem with it.

That was so stupid, so unlike the rest of the game. Your choice is, "Make a logical decision to protect the world," or, "Be a total, mass-murdering dick with absolutely no incentive to do so." That's not a moral choice, that's just lazy.

Nintendo will probably do it sooner than later. Then a bunch of gamers will ***** and moan. They'll say it's a gimmick. Then Sony and Microsoft will do it three years later, and everyone will call them revolutionary. (And no, the Virtual Boy doesn't count. Although it was fun.)

It's a good thing there's no hostility out there to drive women away from gaming.

I was citing the guy that stated that we haven't evolved past violent impulses, and that without video games, we'd resort to murder. I write pen and paper RPGs for a living. I don't have inclinations towards violence. I don't fantasize about hurting people. I don't think that slights against...

And throughout history, we've had plenty of art, drama, literature, et cetera that didn't involve antisocial fantasy. Go figure. Although, going back to his original argument, I'll take it as a compliment. He said that we haven't evolved out of our violent tendencies. I apparently have...

So before video games, nearly half the population of the civilized world killed people? I was completely unaware of this. I would have thought that we'd have died out as a species, if so many of us had a need to kill. And frankly, if you would kill someone if you were deprived of video...
