“there’s nothing wrong with the video game community”

”the free market would provide”

excuse me while I literally piss myself

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

i know it’s stupid but this actually makes me want to cry

video games are the thing i love most and nobody wants me

the middle schooler inside me has a really hard time with that

I’m so fucking sick of this shit. Every god dammned day there is another thread that “PROVES” that Anita has no ground to stand on.

Maybe if these fucks could take their heads out of their ass for a second and just see how much effort they are taking just to prove her wrong, they would see that they 100% prove her point.

I dont understand what peoples major issue is when it comes to diversity in media. If you dont want a female, african american, native american, or whatever protaganist, dont buy the game. There are a million games designed for 13- 24 year old caucasian males. Those are never going away. Why not let the rest of us (non-bigots) hear a unique voice.

People are shit. Scott you’re pretty cool.

These dudes are embarrassments. Luckily there are a few female protagonists (ellen page, faith of mirror’s edge) but other than that it’s all grizzled, white men with short brown hair like usual.

Self reblogging to add a thing I found:

http://overland.org.au/previous-issues/issue-208/feature-malcolm-harris/

The account @Anti_Racism_Dog didn’t last long. Twitter suspended it quickly, a fate reserved only for the most aggressive, abusive and hateful users. What could a dog – an anti-racist one, at that – do to deserve it? @Anti_Racism_Dog had one real function: to bark at racist speech on Twitter. The account responded to tweets it deemed racist with the simple response ‘bark bark bark!’ Sometimes it would send wags to supporters but that was pretty much it.

For the short time it lasted, it was amazing to watch how people reacted to @Anti_Racism_Dog. The account would respond mostly to what the sociologist Eduardo Bonilla-Silva would call ‘colour-blind racism’, that is, racisms that are generally right-libertarian in orientation and justified through appeals to supposedly objective discourses like science and statistics. It’s a notoriously insidious white-supremacist ideology, a virulent strain evolved specifically to resist anti-racist language. Colour-blind racism defends itself by appeals to neutrality and meritocracy, accusing its adversaries of being ‘the real racists’. Although its moves are predictable, they’re hard to combat rhetorically since they’re able to ingest the conventional opposition scripts. Colour-blind racists feed on good-faith debate, and engaging with them, especially online, is almost always futile. But when they’re barked at by a dog, one whose only quality is anti-racism, they flip the fuck out. They demand to be engaged in debate (‘Tell me how what I said was racist!’) or appeal to objective definitions (‘The dictionary says racist means X, therefore nothing I said was racist’), but @Anti_Racism_Dog just barks.

@Anti_Racism_Dog inverted the usual balance of energy in online dialogs about race. Precisely because the dominant global discourse is white-supremacist, it is rhetorically easier to make a racist argument than an anti-racist one. Look at almost any comment thread or discussion board about race and you can see anti-racists working laboriously to be convincing and to play on their opponents’ ‘logical’ turf, and racists repeating the same simple lines they were taught (‘I didn’t own slaves’, ‘I’m just stating the facts’, ‘The Irish were persecuted too’, etc.) ‘Trolling’ as a certain kind of internet harassment is tied to time: the successful troll expends much less time and energy on the interaction than their targets do. It’s the most micro of micro-politics, an interpersonal tug of war for the only thing that matters. But have you ever played tug of war with a dog?

A true troll doesn’t have a position to protect because to establish one would leave it vulnerable to attack, and playing defence takes time. @Anti_Racism_Dog, by fully assuming the persona of an animal, was invulnerable to counter-attack. You can’t explain yourself to a dog and you look like an idiot trying. The only way to win is not to play but this is the colour-blind racist’s Achilles Heel: they’re compelled to defend themselves against accusations of racism. It’s the anti-racist argument that gives them content; theirs is an ideology that’s in large part a list of counter-arguments. After all, white-supremacists are already winning – their task now is to keep the same racist structures in place while making plausibly colour-blind arguments against dismantling them. @Anti_Racism_Dog was empty of anything other than accusation and so left its targets sputtering.

The account served a second purpose: as a sort of anti-racist hunting dog. @Anti_Racism_Dog quickly attracted a lot of like-minded followers who understood the dynamics at play. Whenever it would start barking at another user, this was a cue to the dog’s followers to troll the offender as well. There’s only so much one dog can do alone. Colour-blind racism is particularly dangerous because it isn’t immediately visible as such. It provokes good-faith discussion from liberals about what counts as racism, muddying the water. But @Anti_Racism_Dog’s strategy draws new lines about what constitutes acceptable discourse on race, placing colour-blind racists on the other side by speaking to them like an animal. What would be taken as totally insane in flesh space can be infuriatingly clever online.

Dude, you ordered both?
Slightly jealous
But I’m a frugal son of a bitch
I’m still freaking out cause I spent 50 bucks on the dessa preorder

Amazon gave me 1000 dollars for a financing account. I’m a slave to Amazon for the next year.

Amazon is dangerous. I work with a dude who justifies his amazon prime by getting 3 deliveries to the store each week with free 2 day shipping.

Apparently, to the Sony fanboys/anti M$ brigades dismay, the xboxOne is leading in pre-orders with a price point 100 dollars higher. Looks like the ditch the gamers embrace the casuals has worked pretty fucking well for M$ already.

x-bone was available for preorder right after the microsoft conf
PS4 wasn’t until after the sony presser
which was like midnight
Give it time

You’re such a fanboy xD Xbox-one will be in more households by xmas even IF PS4 has better games. It’s the way it is now too

I’m not a fanboy, I’m a consumer advocate.
If I thought microsoft did have the better console I would be all up on its junk.
I’m lucky enough to live in a two console house currently and I have always found the xbox360 offputting and mean and kind of EAesque in its money grubbing ways

It seems like this trend will continue into the next generation.

Is PS4 online service Subscription based now? And I concur as far as the trend with Pay for every little fucking thing ever. M$ really popularized that. I wont be buying either console however, the fanboys are rabid yo.

To play ps4 online you’ll have to be a PSN+ member I believe. It’s about 5 bucks a month but they give you a free game every month. They started the PSN+ subscription optionally a few years ago and every I know that got one loved it. It also allowed for cloud saving on the ps3 which is nice when you ran out of space on the HD. And the games they give you aren’t shitty old games, they’re usually new and fun.

Other than being half the price sounds pretty close to a gold membership. I’ve never really paid attention to free games. I get my fair share of free indie games online. Not to mention steam has tons if that’s your thing. (for PC atleast)

I haven’t been a pc gamer in a long time mostly because I haven’t wanted to pay for a high end comp in a long time
07 through last november or so I had a gateway laptop I used for school, and now I’m using my brother’s dated laptop.

I used to be all about Everquest and Counterstrike 1.3-1.6

I’m not telling anyone to buy a ps4
I’m not buying a ps4
I’m sticking with the ps3 for a while because I still need to beat ni no kuni and demons souls. I still need to play the last of us, bioshock infinite, infamous 2, killzone 3, mass effect 2 and 3, borderlands series. I would like to try the DMC series, Bayonetta, Journey, Heavy rain, Far Cry 3

So my advice to you is: Own a ps3. Wait out a price cut on the ps4. Buy 2 of them.
