    What's the dumbest reason you ever got fired for?

    Some 60 year old man asked me where the hand sanitizer was. This was some years ago, 2001 I think, and I'd never heard of hand sanitizer before. I directed him to the aisle where the soaps are and he said not soap, hand sanitizer. I just shrugged and said it's probably going to be with the...

    Sexy Sex and You

    I'm 32 and I've been around. At one point I tried to count and came up with a list of around 70 girls names, there were 5 "Jenny"s. I also like to mess around with guys whenever I get the chance, which was often, so there must have been at least 50 of those, whose names I don't remember at all...

    Does anyone else want to talk about something other that social justice and gamergate?

    Not really, no. We should all be doing our part to not click, not purchase, and otherwise disrupt business as usual in the gaming community until people with hurt profits start firing the bad seed around here. I really don't want to go back to being told I'm a dead dinosaur by people who...

    GamerGate's Image Problem

    When I went to George W. Bush's first inauguration in 2001 to protest; I was there with disenfranchised Gore supporters and communists- and I was neither. That was the same story to all of the demonstrations I went to in the late 90's, mixed political interest groups and strange bedfellows...

    GamerGate's Image Problem

    Nobody can take charge either. We just have to ride it out- anyone suggesting we organize something or break off the groups is mistaken. We're doing damage right now, just by discussing this and not being docile video game consuming neckbeards. You gotta give it time, but once the money gets...

    What do people actually want male gamers to be like?

    It's clear they didn't want us to be allies; they wanted guilt ridden subjects with open wallets to lord over and prosper off of. That's what it boils down to for me.

    GamerGate's Image Problem

    How can Gamergate have an image problem when no one is leading it? To me, that seems ridiculous and suggests buying in to the stereotypes the establishment games media likes to throw around. Just ignore them and yell louder, as someone else has pointed out- what they have done as an...

    Hey 4chan? Can we talk briefly?

    People are getting tired of this I guess, but I'm not. I'm still mad as hell. Gamers want to other gamers to drop it so we can go back to just doing video game stuff. But just knowing there's other people who want us to just go back to being revenue generating sheep, lining the pockets of...

    Are we creating a generation of victims?

    It's mostly the first one, I typically enjoy reading your posts. You tend to boil most things down pretty well, that's the wisdom part, but I believe you're being a bit overly dismissive here- that's the removed ancient being part. :D Anyway, what do you think?

    Are we creating a generation of victims?

    Yeah, yeah, I read your posts- you possess the wisdom of an ancient being musing on earth from up on high... and all that. Victims, I don't know- but I'm pretty sure environment affects upbringing and today's environment is pretty fucked up. Or different, compared to mine- depends on your...

    Duke Nukem 3D - No Longer the King, Baby

    In 1996 I was 14, and every day after school I'd run downstairs, boot up the computer and jump into the Build level editor for Duke3D. I have spent likely over 1000 hours making Doom and Duke maps. In Duke 3D, you could stack sectors so that one room was technically on top of another, but you...

    What is... The coolest thing you THINK you own?

    Aside from building bad ass computers to play games on, I also prepare for economic collapse and spend way too much money on guns, freeze died food, 55 gallon water barrels, gas masks, ammo, etc. I will soon be getting a ham radio and a false mirror from tacticalwalls.com. I've never been...

    If you were a designer for the next Call of Duty game, how would you make the game better?

    -Remove Aim Down Sight! -Increase Run Speeds -Increase travel time on bullets w/ visible tracers to allow for dodging. Can anyone tell I miss pre-xbox shooters yet from the PC glory days? I'm turning 32 this year. Back when FPS games were actually fun? I mean, dodging was a huge part of...

    Jimquisition: Integrity, Journalism, and Free PS4s

    I think it's absolutely corrupting; but so is human nature. You think outside of the games industry, in regular cable and network news- if guys like Bob Woodward routinely received gifts from Washington insiders so they could do their job- would Watergate have been a thing? But of course...

    Perhaps Multiplayer FPS just aren't for me

    They're designed that way on purpose. If shooters still let you rocket jump around, dodge incoming fire, and wipe everyone on the map simply because you were better than them- no one would play them. They're designed so everyone gets kills, everyone is a winner, everyone buys the same game...
