I feel sorry for my cousins. Little fuckers have to go to school with this type of shit going on. I would have been expelled every time I stepped foot in the place if I had to deal with this thin skinned shit all the time. I see that shit on the street and I laugh, now, as an adult. What the fuck is happening to the 16 year old version of myself in High School right now? lol

When you're the side that tries to make a crime out of people laughing, maybe it's time to reevaluate yourself.

These people are so thin skinned and domineering they can't even handle being laughed at.

I've been wondering about that. all the discussion of the death of might and magic, ultima etc. mediocre after mediocre entries. shift to other genres, consoles, japan, etc.

He was cool IRL when I met him in Vegas at the SOE Live Planetside Tournament 2014.

Our team (Future Crew ) drew his team (Angry Joe Army ) in the first round and it was a brutal beat down. As in they couldn’t leave their base.

This year has been all shit in major AAA or even AA releases. Aside a few standouts its been literally fail after fail this year. I wonder when they will take a stab at COD and make that all gay and tranny so they can even fuck that solid millions a year title.

The whole crew seems like people I'd get along with great but Alex is the only one to completely tear into things but he's not really the political type. Joe tries to toe the line a lot of times and wimps out when calling out obvious political pandering bullshit.

Look, I just posted it because as soon as she said, I thought, "Yah, she's right. Video games are going through a MASSIVE bubble right now, and have been for years."

Somebody farted in the tub, and they're rising to the top saying, "Hey, ya wanna know what? This doesn't smell so bad." "As a matter of fact, I *like* the smell." "Yah, no shit, it kind'a smells like pizza."

I disagree. I think you are seeing a few games have massive success, [ER, BG3, GOW2] and so you have shitty studios releasing inferior copycat games just trying to cash in on those games success.

Sure maybe these games have been in some form of development for years, but there wasn't much push to actually release them until the genre exploded with big money titles. So you have some titles that have been in limbo for years that studios injected a little money in and pushed out the door to grab some money. Unfortunately for them gamers aren't dumb. Even when they pay off sleazy review sites, gamers see through the bullshit.

Right, but why do publishers pay off these sites? They can't all be money grubbing thieves. Some, and most, I would argue, just think, "Yah, just push this out, pay off these sites, and the gamers will grow to love it." This is what they actually believe. And the extremely vocal minority that cheers these games on, like Andromeda, is only fuel that fire.

These developers and publishers are in their own little bubble of sniffing their own farts, that they actually believe that we *ALL* want this kind'a shit.

In media (*cough*Disney*cough*) and entertainment.
