I just don't see where the all outrage comes from. It's a youtube series she got funding for? Why do people care so much?

Jeff Cannata is kickstarting his own show, will likely get more money, and the $500 reward tier is a spot on his xbox live friends list (and Anita is the one wasting people's money ). Welcome to kickstarter, enjoy your stay

I guess I'll go with benji's theory that they're scared she'll close down nintendo

STRONG INDEPENDENT SPACE CAPTAIN THAT DON'T NEED NO MAN

[cool breeze]

yes... and shes talking about how the cultural problem manifests itself specifically in videogames

but what's the point? Singling out video games isn't going to solve any problems.

if I had to guess, it's because video games are (or were) an area that people aren't (or weren't) talking about.  I don't know how long ago this kickstarter stuff came about.  james gournalist and forum peoples only got talking about this like last year.

only questionable part of the video was when she was talking about older games getting re-released or something

[Don Flamenco]

HA!  I watched that video and she definitely did not cover every single angle of this subject completely.  Where was X, Y, and Z? 

thus her arguments are invalid and she should stay in the kitchen until she can come up with a logically inarguable, complete presentation of gender relations in the game industry in one episode.  I mean, she says that women are presented poorly in games, but a woman worked on the voice and music for the game Pin-Bot, so I'm not sure why she says there's sexist stuff in games.  and look at jade raymond.

(White) nerds always have fear of anything relating sexism, race, etc. It's Axiomatic.

Which is a separate thing from whether this person is making valid points or not regarding sexism.

[Hock]

Its easy to figure out why gamers (and nerds in general) get really defensive when any -ism discussion comes up.  Just look at their reactions when someone talks shit about their favorite company or series. They take it as if you are personally insulting them.

So when you accuse games of being sexist, they see it as you accusing them of being sexist.

I'd be afraid of buying a PS3 fat at this point due to YLOD issues. It's gonna happen at some point because of the crappy lead-free solder.

I had mine for almost 5 years and had no problems, so as long as you take care of it, you should be fine.

You've just jinxed yourself. I took care of mine and it YLOD'd after four years (February 2007 to January 2011).

You have been warned.

amend that to" "the games industry needs better PEOPLE." specifically, more diverse creators than unenlightened, sexually regressive manchildren who got into the biz to draw half-naked pandering waifus or create virtual guns that operate with fetishistic detail or pen their latest D&D power fantasy.

Also, what is Steve doing? He has more posts than anyone else in that thread. Pull out man!

Man we need studies about how to seriously tackle a problem of writing flat characters.

[Trent Dole]

Don that is pretty great I must say. We'll probably not see true equality, via gender or ethnicity, in our lifetimes. I'd say 'it fucking sucks but what're ya gonna do?' except if even the idea that such things are in need of discussing provokes such a hostile and negative reaction we clearly have a much further way to go than I'd like to think we do.

Say what you will about the overall quality of their writing [or quality in general], but most Western RPGs handle gender issues much better than just about anything else in this industry. Or, at the very least, are good at avoiding them.

This.

My launch 60GB died two weeks ago. Always kept it in an open air environment and tried to compress air it every so often. In fact, when I took it apart to remove Ni No Kuni from the Bluray Drive, little to no dust build up. It's pretty much inevitable.

Saints Row franchise is the most progressive franchise in gaming. Make a man? Game doesn't care. Change that man into a woman mid game via plastic surgery for a price of 800 in game bux? Game doesn't care; characters just say "change your hair?" Aside from a very stupid piece of dialogue in SR3's pro wrestling mission every single line is gender neutral towards your characters identity. Each and every voice can choose from have different stories and personalities and origins. One female voice is a sexually empowered maniac. The other likes to play it cute but with a hint if menace.

One man voice has the Boss as suave, another as a generic gang banger. Each and every gang is gender and race neutral. No one cares. In SR2 there is a Japanese yakuza gang and most of its members are a bunch of white suburban kids. Gang has black, white, Asian, Latino members with a myriad in differences in gender? Why the fuck not?

For being considered the industry class clown, SR really shows a type of world that simply does not exist: where people are not judged by their race or gender on how bad ass they are. I suggest any pretentious wanker to dissect those games line for line. They will probably come surprised.

[Himu]

Reason 999 why SR > GTA

Max Payne is so good, dunno why I overlooked it before. Straightforward action game with good production values and settings. I heard bad things about the dialogue but I think it's spot on.

Really good job of bringing Max Payne back.

dude... it has the best character creator EASILY, but calling the rest of the series' content progressive is so very i mean jesus christ there is actually a mission in sr3 where the characters whole house is filled with "black widows" and you have gun down hundreds of mostly-naked women. seriously man, come on

This place is so shallow. Who cares how big her videogame collection is--it's all about the size of her titties.

Also she's paler than I am--and I'm a fucking hermit living in the coldest fucking major city in North America.

Drakengard 3 for PS3? Didn't see that coming.

[cool breeze]

people be claiming ex-Cavia people are on board

I only ever tried the Drakengard demo, but I read up on it after playing Nier, and understand the connection between those two.  And Nier happens to be one of my favorite games in the past couple games.  So, here's hoping it's localized and I can let myself get excited.
