    The Last Thing We Need is Developers Policing Mods

    Okey, let me try to give you a slightly shorter answer then, so that you might have the time to reply if you so wish. Let me reiterate that the Strawman in question is the very association of the term "white" with slavery, historic oppression and more specifically as an attempt to demonize white...

    The Last Thing We Need is Developers Policing Mods

    Yeah, so about that strawman... I'm sure you both can deduce that weirdee's representation in games analogy was more to point out the game industry is not exempt from larger existing socio-political schisms and that it has bearing on the effects/reaction towards the mods in question. The jump...

    Sweden Considering Sexism Labels For Video Games

    I don't think there is any problem with the PR of parties like Fremskrittspartiet, otherwise they certainly would not have, as stated before, risen that much and wouldn't have won the parlimentary election 2013. Whether or not you have stopped paying attention to the media or cannot comprehend...

    Escapist Podcast: 093: World of Warcraft and Cupcakes

    So, just curious. Is there no official health care information service to call and ask whether or not your symptoms calls for medical attention in america? And about this greed thing. I don't really get the moral debate angle on the issue. During the last console generation consumers of...

    268: Hey, Listen, I Like Navi

    Great article, I never figured why she got on peoples nerves that much. I always felt she was very discreet, you can pretty much ignore her throughout the entire game if you want to and those "Hey"s and "Listen"s stops if you just take a sec to scroll through some text from time to time.

    Favorite Final Fantasy Game

    FF X for me. The battle system was rewarding and tactical, the ATB systems always felt decent to me but never great, except in Parasite Eve. Also it took the story elements from earlier titles and really improved upon them (in my opinion. I think FF VI had the most interesting cast of characters...
