I don't much notice the actions of strangers in a public space. If someones being loud for any reason - making out or getting rowdy - then they need to consider others. Aside from a noise perspective, there's no harm in it. If it makes you uncomfortable to see people in a sexual context then...

How about some peer reviewed longitudinal studies on the affects of trolling before we start abusing a monopoly of force up in here?

I was recently diagnosed with a mild form of SAD. I had thought I was depressed for a few years, but it always seemed to go away just as it was getting too much, generally throughout the Winter. I get mild depression symptoms from June through August, then I'm fine until December through to...

They set a target for their games, graphically speaking. Then they reached the target, without going any extra mile in any case. I know nothing about coding, how hard or easy it might be, and I don't care. Good for you, business people, for achieveing your business targets. I hope the game is fun.

Assuming that someone is going to fall into within 90-95% of a population seems reasonable to me. There's a novelty to homosexuality that is unavoidable if it is not something that you come across in your day to day life. Surprise by it's definition can't be ill intentioned, so I wouldn't worry...

Two women were murdered, that's tragic. That isn't necessarily indicative of any trend; it's literally the second smallest sample size possible.

Sure, I never pay for products that I haven't seen. So I don't pre-order or don't crowd fund, unless I can see footage of the game being played by a third party. I also don't buy rubbish PC ports. That's pretty much everything.

Well, my parents got me into games and my almost all of my friends I play games with. So it seems bizarre to me that there would be a 'gamer closet'. It's a hobby, and sure,someone might say it's a waste of time, whatever, but most people I've met recognise that what they enjoy doing is...

I picked up the Rise of the Samurai campaign for Shogun 2. It's fun, but not a patch on Fall of the Samurai. You just can't beat ship to land bombardments on the battlefield.

SEGA have forced CA to totally alienated their core player base at this point. Unfortunately I won't be playing this, not until I can finish an hour of Rome 2 without it crashing to desktop, or without a boat travelling across land when it wants to dock, or the AI attempts to defend itself...

I know it's a minor enough issue, but please don't refer to kilograms as weight measurement. Weight is a force calculation for gravity's effect on a mass - go ahead and use pounds or Newtons. If you're talking kilograms, that's mass - and it's constant regardless of gravity. Minor physics error...

Eh, I found Half Life 1 pretty boring. Very much of it's time. Half Life 2 was a mish mash of every other game mechanic under the sun, and was fun. There's no need for a Half life 3. The Half life story is nothing special, nor the characters. I really don't understand the rampant desire for more...

From what I've seen nobody is saying whole games are purely sexist - apart from the ones that clearly are. Certainly anyone who is decrying every new title as entirely misogynistic and an attack on women isn't going to be taken too seriously. If you watch Tropes vs. Women in Videogames, the...

Great message you're sending there. Don't hold the franchise to ransom because you made a shitty cash grab and people saw right through it before it was even released. The only way to make The Sims 4 a game worth getting is the promise of FreeLC, but that's not a promise EA is willing to make...

I hope this guy is being honest and that he is going to hit all these targets he's talking about. Unfortunately he's not the first EA suit to say this, so I certainly have my doubts.
