In fairness, by GAF's standards, grabbing a girl's ass in a bar is rape, unless she explicitly asked you to grab her ass.

On that note, I should probably be in prison by now.

Pretty sure there was a recent thread where unwanted hand holding was deemed sexual assault on GAF.



we're equating his transgression to the level of puritanism of his forum. By his forum standards, that was an inch away from rape.

I didn't get that reference :(

I feel like I've read this sort of set of posts for the last year straight now, they must all practice edging or something:
No, no.  You don't understand. This week is THE week, for real this time.

My favorite moment was when the McCarthyists were trying to root out Russian spies on NeoGAF.  Their sole criteria was not supporting Hillary Clinton enough for their personal preference.
A good chunk of the "heroes" who were post history digging for that got cleaned out. TestOfTide is still out so it must have been a hefty ban. They'll still whine about threads full of them in PoliGAF from time to time (I want to say Chumley does this regularly) but the bans and Stump complaining about it seemed to put the kibosh on it.

Which just proves that the Russian-Breitbart money has infected the mods.

FatalT's in that stage where you get banned/permed and are actually in your feelings about it despite whatever you may post (repeatedly since said ban/perm, might I add)

It's not that serious and you'll get over it......hopefully  :doge

Yeah my butt is hurting right now but I'll get over it and get back to posting memes on Facebook and reading Something Awful soon. Won't take long, I promise. My main issue right now is visiting Voat. Should be playing video games and enjoying life instead of being a sissy about a web forum. I gotchu.

PoliGAF is a goldmine...

Quote
Nobody really thinks the GOP will impeach, but it's honestly better they don't. I want to be able to scream "corruption!" for the midterms.

Then weep and quit PoliGAF if Americans elect a "Trump House" ?

Quote
President Mattis incoming. I would actually be okay with that. But wouldn't the President Pro Tempor take over, unless there's some connection to Orrin Hatch I don't know about I think he would be the first person we don't have any solid connections to Trump/Russia with. Following him I believe it's Mattis since Mnuchin has a lot of Trump connections and Tillerson is like Captain Russia.

SPIES ! SPIES ! REDS !  :stop

My favorite moment was when the McCarthyists were trying to root out Russian spies on NeoGAF.  Their sole criteria was not supporting Hillary Clinton enough for their personal preference.

GAF's collective confidence in their investigative prowess should of been stamped out once and for all after the Boston bombers, when numerous otherwise self-described liberals, and many followers, on GAF and Reddit, just started looking for the most stereotypical brown people in the crowd, thinking they would have their message-board fame for cracking the code....Yet still managed to whiff.

....That said, Trump's fucked with those Russians.

I've been wanting to get NieR: Automata since playing the demo! All I've been able to afford is renting out games from Red Box! I have so many games I want to play but all I can bring myself to do is get on an Internet forum discussion about the game instead of actually playing it...which is basically what NeoGAF is.

Why are you guys so invested in this? He made a joke that would be perfectly safe on network tv even taken at face value.

Nurse played by Tina Fey or Amy Poehler or some shit: "I'm going to take that blood sample now."
Old white dude watching CNN: "Sure hope Donald manages to kick all the spics out."
Fwy/Poehler: "Oh, I'm sorry. Looks like I didn't find the vein. Let me try again."

You all want to hound this guy like he did something serious like saying the state shouldn't pay for a murderer's sex change?

The edgelord defense needs that at least the perpetror admits "I was joking" or that the place where the joke was made it isnt even less thin skinned than network TV.

I'm a male in my early 20's. If you were to ask me who I am, the 1st thing I would instantly say is "I am an anal vore fanatic". It's who I am. It's my identity. Anal vore is my life, and it felt important enough for me to tell my friends and family. I decided the best way to tell them would be to have an anal vore "coming-out party", though I didn't tell them that the party was going to be about anal vore ahead of time. I'm not stupid. I knew they would look it up in Google and see a bunch of stupid things and criticisms by trolls about it, so I decided that to make the best impression of anal vore I would have to present it to them myself.

I ordered pizzas and planned a lot of fun activities we could do that would explain to my friends and family what anal vore is.

This is what happens when you give diversity more importance than actual ability when hiring staff. It sounds like they hired folks who were completely out of their depth.

Facial animation lead was someone with zero experience with video games.
The writer was a known hack who wrote all the shit people complained about in the last game.

Why did it have to happen to this series, couldn't they have fucked up call of duty or something instead.

Quote from: RoyalFool
Come one, even the folks who left are saying it was the case. Don't try blaming frostbite etc when it's pretty obvious a lot of the B team had never made a game before and were put into positions well above their ability due to positive discrimination.

It's a shit situation for all involved, shame telling the truth in this case is giving people too many gamer gate flashbacks to admit it.

You know, it's funny that RoyalFool was getting a roasting earlier, but I've noticed that quite a few of Crowbcat's loyal userbase has certain GG, Alt-right leanings. Read the comments for this video and you'll see.

And it's not the first time I've noticed this stuff. Crowbcat does some interesting things no doubt with these videos, but I've got a lingering suspicion about his underlying motives and why his videos seem to attract certain "gamers."

Being fair, I can see why people were annoyed when diversity or positive discrimination where brought to the discussion, whatever if is true or not (I had avoided the drama so I have no idea) In any case, if there is somehow a middle truth about that is going to be lost anyway in the anti/pro GG conflict of fuckery.

But is clear, at least, that the game main writer is such a novice that somehow made dialogue worse than a regular CW show or from a random tumblr fanfic.

That Krogan fight the best thing coming from that game, thought.

What's still hilarious to me is literally a couple of hundred thousand people at most know what the fuck Gamergate actually is. I had an active account on GAF while it was happen and I still don't know the details beyond nerds got mad at a woman. I only know who Milo is because he's been doing the rounds on podcasts and TV shows...2-3 years later.

Doesn't take [strike]much[/strike] any searching. Sorry.





I didn't call him a racist nor did I call for a witchhunt.

I said that I've noticed the comments in his videos are inhabited by a large community of less-than-agreeables who seem to migrate from video to video. It's about the way he posts his videos, criticisms (often carefully chosen cherry pickings) of all the things that are "wrong with today's video games."

I've just seen that same attitude present in the GamerGate/Alt-Right movement, and in a period where more and more Youtube Gaming personalities are being exposed for being a part of these movements, I just think it's interesting is all.

RoyalFool was simply voicing what it seems a good part of CbC's viewership have been posting in a good number of his videos. People seemed shocked in their responses, but if you've been following CbC, you really wouldn't be shocked that his videos seem to attract those kinds of folks in swarms.

In short, I personally think CbC is suspect. He hasn't played his hand enough yet to fully confirm, but his videos and the community they seem to be fostering give me pause for thought. That's it.

It's a thing, where people completely cut out shampoo (and conditioner) for "healthier hair" and use baking soda instead. I can't imagine it working for a Gaf nerd with 5kg of dandruff and grease on his scalp though.

I could see it being a pure coincidence that they leaned for a little extra diversity in new hires (breaking ties between candidates and so on) and then during development hell just threw them all onto the Mass Effect spin-off disaster project in positions they weren't prepared for.

Plus didn't like large chunks of the Bioware vets cash out and leave in the wake of The Old Republic?

So this probably was like the D(iversity?!?)-Team getting called up to be the C-Team as the A-Team cashed out and then being asked to pull B-Team duty.

And there was a link earlier to somebody saying "why couldn't this happen to Call of Duty?" and I'm pretty sure that's what Ghosts was. They even took on what was left of Neversoft!

Thought the Ghosts story was more like Trump/Chavez wet dream of south america invading the US
I don't think they ever invade really, just hijack US technology to wreck up the Mexican border area, then the Ghosts do all kinds of missions down south and there's more tech hijacking. The US is always shown as the superior military force except that the "war" can't be fought like the ludicrous one shown in MW2 and 3.

It's actually almost the same plot and locations as Bad Company 2 only with crappier level design. :shh

Which is probably why I kinda liked it. And it ripped off some of that dynamic level stuff which both series dropped immediately.

I was talking more about how Infinity Ward's A-Team had all basically bolted after MW2, and what was left cobbled together MW3 with help from the forming Sledgehammer and then even a bunch of the IW leads left after it (even the infamous "community manager" who had been suddenly promoted to producer), and then whatever was left of Neversoft was shunted into IW to pump out Ghosts in the old CoD dev cycle and Sledgehammer hadn't yet totally sent the series past "modern warfare" what with Blops 2 also being set in a "near" decade or so future with only slightly more advanced technology. So it winds up being this kind of sorta spin-off by the "in name only" developers that started the Modern Warfare franchise.

To be fair: Wendy's and other places are nearly that much. :doge

Not too long ago I went to a McDick's and a Big Mac is $4 and the dollar menu is gone altogether.  Fast food prices are insane these days.

Carl's Jr. raised their spicy chicken sandwich prices from $0.99 to $1.79, and their Big Carl (which was arguably had the greatest cost to quality and quantity ratio of any burger in existence) went from a more than reasonable $1.99 to a whopping $5.79.

Trump was supposed to protect us from stuff like this!  :maf

Really, the "dollar" menus had become "value" menus again a few years ago and you were looking at $1.49 for setting up your make-your-own combos. Like double cheeseburgers were the only things still sitting at 99 cents.

Though McDonald's has adjusted theirs into some kind of "pick 2 for $2/$5" sections which happily lined up with what I got off them anyway and took the ultimate total down like a buck and a half from where it had risen. Stuff like that lines you up with some hard to ignore loadout paths, like if you're actually doing Burger King that 10 nuggets at $1.49 offer recently makes it so you gotta go Whopper Jr. and then the ten nuggets to start working towards any kind of ideal stat maximization.

Capitalism. :rejoice

I assume this all leads back to the companies were just finding it too hard to compete with the increasing quality and quantity of YumBrands! offerings.

The c-tier dev team that pumped out the fanservice DLC for ME3 made a full-fledged Mass Effect RPG with the help of new hires. They also decided to hire the same lead writer who did Halo 4.

 The results will shock you  :doge
 

meh while i find the graphical jank funny i still enjoy the game. the multiplayer can be a ton of fun if you are the host. that said I probably won't finish it just like i didn't beat dragon age Inquisition even tho i played it for 50hrs.

i need to go back and get the c/d endings for nier auto but i burnt myself out by playing it for 40 hrs the week it came out.

The thing is, not that many people stick around a CoD studio for very long. It has improved now that they alternate releases, but when you operate studios that have "pre crunch" in order to make linear corridor shooters then you accept that a certain percentage of your talent just won't stick around for very long.

They did change the bonus structure after the fiasco that lead to Respawn forming to force people to stay longer.

Like the local progression in LA for awhile was work for work for hire studio, go to Activision and work on a CoD game or go work at EALA, then go to Insomniac/ND/Sony Santa Monica, then burn out or something.

Riot and Blizzard gobble up a lot of top tier talent now. Since most of their offerings aren't on normal holiday release schedules they can offer non crunch based work environments.
