    OKCupid Asks Firefox Users To Support LGBT Rights, Switch Browsers

    Can't see a reason to care much. Mozilla and its affiliates are staffed by people who aren't bigots, too. He's one man, and his contributions are misguided, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the product itself. This is getting on a soapbox just for the sake of doing so, even...

    Jimquisition: The Adblock Episode

    Likely been said before, but I feel the need to point out that the kinds of obnoxious ads that Jim complained about are probably a large reason why Adblock exists, not the other way around. They assaulted our eyes and our ears long before Adblock's time, so no, they're not a response to it. It's...

    This Coffee Maker Has DRM to Lock Out Competitor's Refills - Update

    The sad thing is this is going to work to some extent, particularly on the office end of things, because as we all know, every office thinks coffee is mandatory. The average user might find brand-locked machines to be bullshit, and it is, but corporate gophers aren't hired for their brains...

    Gay in The Last of Us: Left Behind (SPOILERS)

    There's nothing unusual about a girl getting a crush on another girl. It's also not unusual for a boy to have a crush on another boy, but that's not what we're talking about here; I just want to make it clear there are no exclusive rights. This is regardless something that happens more often...

    Wind Waker is Still the Best Zelda, and You're Surprised?

    I could actually really get behind something like this. Like, Link's washed up, and not nearly as endearing as when he was younger, and just before the fact that he saved the world is leaving the peoples' minds to be replaced by what a bland guy he is when there's no evil to slay, shit suddenly...

    If I Were the Opposite Sex, I Would Fancy the Hell Out of You!

    I'm homosexual, but I'm also old enough not to be offended that you forgot gay people exist, or perhaps would even rather they don't in the first place. Thus, I'll play along, although in all honesty I can't say as any that you could think of have struck any particular fancy with me; it's...

    Warface Producer Defends Female Designs as "Cultural Relativism"

    The female is Sniper Wolf? Fine. I cast my vote for one of the guys to be in Snake's sneaking thong. Make it happen, Crytek.

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    In and of itself, no. You're not homophobic because you're not into people of your gender, for example. It's the reasons for your refusal that make up the important parts, but if it's a matter of attraction or aesthetics, you shouldn't feel badly about that; you like what you like. Not more...

    Poll: Gameplay vs Graphics

    Eh, speak for yourself. Not everyone's done such things.

    Poll: Gameplay vs Graphics

    Depends on what you mean when you say "graphics". If you mean the tech behind it, that's among the least important things about a video game. There's a reason so many video games from a couple of decades ago can still be enjoyed even by the people who weren't around when they came into being...

    Poll: Avatar Discrimination

    Anyone who doesn't regard what I said because I don't have an avatar probably weren't worth the effort of communicating with anyway. As for my own bias, I block all of your avatars anyway, so I'm not skewed toward wanting to stab you with a pencil for that obnoxious animated .gif, or that...

    Special Needs guy beat up over his GTA 5 copy

    You should hear of some of the things that have happened to people during the releases of Dragon Quest in Japan, then. There are laws that apply solely to that series because people go fucking apeshit over it. That's what happens when you're the most exposed country on the face of the...

    Pokemon X and Y Director Discusses Changes in Story

    It really doesn't; millions of people play the series, and most people don't take video games that seriously, or much of anything that seriously. Again, you're talking about the minority (most people don't even go onto message boards to talk about video games, so you're talking about a minority...

    Special Needs guy beat up over his GTA 5 copy

    Don't be an ass. I've lived in Arizona for seventeen years, a state that's likely bigger by itself than whatever country you live in, and have never come close to seeing such a thing, and can say with reasonable certainty that if someone saw it happen, they'd do something about it. I wouldn't...

    Pokemon X and Y Director Discusses Changes in Story

    Most people who play video games aren't the nerds who populate internet forums, using terms like "metagame"; that represents the minority. Your view of the world does not reflect the world as a whole.
