    Open Letter to Parents of League of Legends' Players

    Your time has no value to anyone but yourself. If someone values your time, that's pretty neat. But no one in this world has to do so, unless they are paying you for work. You may think a parent making a decision that affects your time is inconsiderate, but they have no obligations to consider...

    Women in games are not systematically oppressed - a vertical slice

    I don't think you really understand what the meaning of "sexist" is. A rape scene, any rape scene, creates a victim. Now, that can be of either gender, but most commonly found in our digital media today is that of male-on-female rape. Ergo, most rape scenes victimize females. So, when you...

    Question for fighting game fans.

    Sheik, Falco, Fox, Doc. If you've ever played competitive, you always have some kind of Spacey game. That's why I'm loving Project M so much, though. Character diversity is so welcome.

    Question for fighting game fans.

    Word, good shit. I play Sheik myself, so I know all about dem chaingrabs. Especially against Marths. Ironically, I model my Sheik after M2K's as well. Though, I've always watched guys like KirbyKaze, Tafo, Fly Aminita and even Isai from way back and tried to incorperate a lot of their game...

    Question for fighting game fans.

    Lol! That looks like M2K in the gif, there. Not to say you can't do that, (chaingrabs are really easy once you figure them out) but amirite? Edit: Put post inside the original quote. Whoops.

    Question for fighting game fans.

    You know, I'm seeing a disturbing trend of people dismissing Smash as a more laid back game. No. You are very wrong. Simple button inputs are absolutely necessary for a game like Smash because of the different win requirements. And they also lose context when you consider that 5 out of 6...

    Define a hardcore gamer.

    I guess I always have considered myself a "hardcore gamer", though the line between hardcore and casual is becoming so blurry. I've been playing video games since I was 4, my mom had a NES with Batman and Tetris. I was able to make it to the Joker's level (never beat it) by age 5, as well as...

    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    See? Exactly! This guy gets it.

    What, like a philosophical difference? Because no, legally, there isn't much of a difference. You're not property, so you have to be fed and clothed and attend some form of schooling, but outside of that, you belong to your parents. Hell, in some cultures, you're born and by the time you're Five...

    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    Alright, no. It's not okay to name your child after Adolf Hitler. That is obvious. Just like you can't name your child Akuma in Japan. I get it. But, regardless, the parents had every right to do that. They're shitbags, to be sure, but rights can be abused. I don't think OP is abusing his right...

    I'm not dismissing bullying, I'm saying that there are way worse forms of bullying than making fun of your name. What would you have her parents do instead? Name her like a dog? Every parent has the right to name their child. It's the right they get for making the child in the first place.

    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    How can you call it selfish? What, do you wanna wait for the child to be born to let it give it own input? Have you ever heard of Picabo Street? Her parents called her "little girl" with the intent that she would choose her own name when she could, until she was three they went to Mexico, and...

    Wow. Look, bullying sucks all around, but there are FAR more possible things for children to find and make fun of for any child. My first two names are William Robert, and when shortened, becomes Billy Bob. You think I didn't get shit for that my whole life? How often I was called a "hick", or a...

    PC/Console gaming segregation

    ...Wow. It's called "Preference." As a consumer with money to spend, I decide whether or not I'll enjoy a game by looking for certain functions or features that one has to offer. All Thr33X has done to this point has engaged in some defensive name calling. Why should you care enough about one's...
