I see Kathleen is wearing a wedding ring in the video but Graham isn't. Clearly this relationship has some commitment issues.DirgeNovak said:Also, congratulations to Graham and Kathleen who got married on Saturday!
I feel much better knowing I'm not the only one.Makabriel said:Ovispositor jiggle physics.. I laughed way too hard at that one.
Beware old men with many daughters.

...based on what sales figures? The ones I am looking at show the quoted games selling rather well.soh45400 said:Game after game has proven that action games with female leads do not sell well weather you like it or not. And a lot of them are still made. And this includes great ones like Mirror's Edge and Beyond good and evil.
Just recently there was a whole debarcle over the most recent far cry cover being released without context. Its actually kind of hard to avoid being labelled racist for some reason or another, low hanging fruit and all.soh45400 said:But no one talks about the racial inequality in games.
One sin does not excuse another. (Also is there evidence for this too? I don't know the composition of escapist staff myself...)soh45400 said:Escapist itself has NO non-white staff in the videos or articles as far as I know but they do have women. The Escapist convention, based on videos I saw here, could have been mistaken for a KKK rally with the lack of non-white people there.
And yet they insist on biting the hand that feeds the time and time again. Frankly they -shouldn't- be making money. Just saying.soh45400 said:These people have to make money, you pathetic hippies.
Sweet lord... you are a braver soul than I, spelunking the youtube chasm.Namechangeday said:Off topic: I cannot believe I just read all the youtube comments.
Since this video was released before the wedding to kickstarter backers, I don't think that's a wedding ring just yet.Clankenbeard said:I see Kathleen is wearing a wedding ring in the video but Graham isn't. Clearly this relationship has some commitment issues.
Action games with female leads are also under-supported by their own publishers, and are provided, on average, ~40% of the marketing budget of other similar male-led games. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy, not an insurmountable fact.soh45400 said:Game after game has proven that action games with female leads do not sell well weather you like it or not.

Except, people do talk about it. Just last week, there was a major outcry within the industry over the hiring of two white men by GiantBomb - leading so significant criticism leveled at mainstream game publications over the white-male homogeneity of staff-writers while non-white and non-male writes frequently struggle in freelance, and have to supplement their income through crowd-funding and outside work. This criticism was, admittedly, led by a number of women, but the focus was very clearly on diversifying the critical voice in several ways, including race, gender, and sexuality.soh45400 said:But no one talks about the racial inequality in games.

Yeah, I don't think you've ever seen a woman in real life.uanime5 said:Also the way women walk is different from the way men's walk, so you can't use men's walking animation of female characters without them looking odd.
Like I said, I don't think you've ever seen real women. There are plenty of women with narrow hips. I'm a pretty skinny guy, but I know heaps of women who have more slender frames and less body fat than me.uanime5 said:If you'd ever watched a woman walk you'd know they walk differently to men. As women have a different shaped pelvis to men (they need it to be wider in order to give birth) they swing their hips when they walk.
