Who is Old Man Murray and what's the Jade Redmond Comic?

http://img9.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/751/7511570fcefa0ea0acf0ed0fdff132977e1955.jpg

Basically, the way the game was promoted, Jade was front and center at all times almost to the point where she overshadowed the game itself to my memory. So I think this comic came out before the game release.

You can read the Neogaf thread where Lowtax was sent a C&D by Ubi.

Please let it be known that hereforth I have read the express mail and email sent thereforth by Famous Lawyer David Anderson of the Famous Lawyer Law Business of Nixon Peabody LLP, and furthermore a declaration shall be expressed on the part of Internet User Rich “Lowtax” Kyanka that thatforth herethrough I have conducted rigorous tests implemented through a vigorous barrage of legal studies, and furthermore hitherthrough these rigorous tests have therefore proven Famous Lawyer David Anderson of the Famous Lawyer Law Business of Nixon Peabody LLP shall be recognized as a man of the cigarillo persuasion.

The comic came out 10 years ago, right? So gamergators are time travelers! 

[Himu]

Yeah man, totally. Line up the articles claims in order of history:

Kings Quest games - 80's -1998
OMM - late 90's - early 00's
Jade Raymond comic - 2007
Gamergate - 2014

Random notes about adventure games and GTA



and OMM caused Gamergate

It all fits!

I like how the article ignores that's just how things were back then in the 90's. Shock was in. It was the decade of rebellion, Beavis and Butthead, and South Park. Not once is this considered in the article nor its relevance to GG. Remember the episode of South Park where Mr Garrison tried to assassinate Kathy Griffin? Gamergate, everyone. That's just how things kinda were in the late 90's.

Mic truly is a trash site.

[benjipwns]

So why is it people can label others Gamer Gaters and expect to be taken seriously but as soon as you call them Social Studies Warriors they automatically decide they already know everything there is to know about you?

edit: haha that word replacement. Who was triggered?

Because they are dumb hypocrites, that's why.

By the way, if you call someone a Social Studies Warrior that automatically makes you a Gamergator, that's how that works!

the fact that you're using that toxic phrase in a hypothetical that actually happens in the real world exposes not only your real agenda but actively harms real people, thanks for showing everyone here what molehills you'll burn crosses on until they're mountains to die on gator scum

i can't wait until #TheResistance puts you all down like the garbage humans you are and we can get back to the correct path of history

[Shuri]

Who remembers fatbabies.com? It was an awesome place for industry gossip at the time, then it was taken over and it got super lame, but damn for a time it was an amazing read.

[benjipwns]

Who is Old Man Murray and what's the Jade Redmond Comic?

Charles Murray, who is 74, wrote two books called Lousing Ground and The Bell Curve that were basically Mein Kampf with a veneer of science, the Gamergate movement read them and stored them away to use later when JonTron and PewDiePie unleashed their assault that scared the media into covering Donald Trump in nothing but glowing terms, as a result Trump was elected and everything we fought World War I for like the progressive use of foreign women warriors as soldiers on the front lines was rolled back as part of an extensive plot by Vladimir Putin, a KGB agent, to undo Tsar Alexander II's reforms on serfdom and expand it into the United States by peppering code words into once credible journalistic entities like Jimmy Fallon and Red Letter Media as part of a mass shift to their true white supremacist views.

Actually, fuck you, I shouldn't have to explain this shit. You should know. Playing ignorant is just one of those gator tactics that's a dead giveaway and yet you almost roped me into believing you were anything but an agent sent to undermine the transcendent non judgmental on all subjects harmony that The Bore and Yum! Brands is known for.

[Rufus]

The best part is the claim that the original GTA wasn't popular

This quote you posted above* makes me think their point was to show that other (non-edgy) games were more popular at the time.

*Zis one:

Even as violent shooters like Quake and Doom (1993) and their many transgressive offspring began to attract a new crowd, “edgy” titles were vastly outsold by games like Microsoft Flight Simulator and classic adventure puzzle game Myst.

The problem with this is that it presents the gaming industry as only a PC game landscape. In console games and arcades we had shit like Mortal Kombat. The article uses OMM to present an alternate reality where specific kinds of games of a certain pursuasion were popular in the 90's by using elitist argumentation. Anyone who played games in the 90's knows how  bullshit that quote is, especially in the context of games like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter.

I don't mean to defend the article (didn't even read it), that just stood out to me.

[benjipwns]

I don't think it should be all that controversial to suggest that GTA didn't exactly blow up until the third one which was based entirely around murdering hookers for higher scores*. Essentially a 3D Custers Revenge as the gaming press of the time excitedly described it.

*source: local news and elected officials

[agrajag]

Yeah, I think it's fair to say that the top down games were fairly successful, but the series didn't truly blow up until the first 3D entry.

[bork]

It was going on well before that.  Go back to the 70s and look up people getting offending by rock bands like KISS...and 1976's Death Race game sparked outrage:

Although the graphics are primitive and monochrome, the "gremlins" resemble stick figures, and the game's working title had been Pedestrian. In spite of Exidy president Pete Kaufman's denial that the intent of the game was to promote violence, Death Race provoked media criticism.[4] The National Safety Council called it "gross".[5] The CBS news program 60 Minutes broadcast an investigation into the psychological impact of video games,[4] and the game was covered on NBC's Weekend news show,[6] and in the National Enquirer.[4] Death Race is rated on several "most controversial video game" lists.

OMG SO OFFENSIVE

The problem isn't that it argues this.

The problem is that it goes from adventure games and PC fps to GTAIII. It completely ignores console games while talking about how games "were". Only to jump in to GTAIII, ignoring entire decades worth of game advertising and software.

Also, I would agree III was when the series took off. But people still played GTA before III. I played 1 on Mupepe's computer in fact in 2000 or something. People lent out the ps version of GTA quite frequently.

Another problem is that it mentions like two women in the industry - and "others" of course - as examples that it was higher brow and more inclusive, in an industry that had Cammy and Mai and Gameboy.

Games were so high brow and intelligent back then guys.

I remember in the first few years of Adventure Time's run on Cartoon Network, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing about the show. The lore, the characters, the humor were praised almost universally. But now the show is its final episodes and no one is talking about it. Even I, who was a pretty big fan of the show, don't care that it's ending.

I always like these threads, like, you couldn't even take a look at ratings or google trends at least first? Just...what it feels like?

Also:

I ran an Adventure Time Tumblr during its third and fourth seasons. I liked the show a lot and created a lot of original content in the form of captioned GIFs and theorycrafting. It was a really tremendous show to be in to. Back then, people would joke that it was impossible not to encounter Dr. Who, One Direction, or Adventure Time on your dashboard. It didn't matter who you followed, or what your interests were, you always saw content from these shows.

It started to fall off because it stopped feeling edgy. At its peak, Adventure Time felt like it was constantly about to cross the line over what was acceptable or discussed in children's television. From nuclear Armageddon to domestic abuse to existentialism to LGBT relationships, Adventure Time constantly toed that line and I think a lot of older people watched religiously to see if and when they would really do it.

And I don't know. Eventually, toeing the line wasn't enough because it became status quo.

It's important that each and every complicated/controversial thread has one of Slayven's one or two sentence posts which, at best, respond to the title and make up for the lack of wit or depth with a snooty reference to race relations. If *one of those types* (from Massive Duck's watch list) show up, he might throw in another one sentence post in response of the same quality. This is the kind stuff that makes NeoGAF "a neutral ground where facts and evidence, presented within the confines of civil, inclusive discourse, prevail through careful moderation".

I figure he grew up as a guy who would memorize everything about comics, sports, anime, and star wars.  Other nerds were amazed by his ability to list so many references and mock someone who called them "japanese cartoons," they would gather around him to hear him speak.  And then he entered some form of the real world and realized his observations mattered to nobody.  But you know what he could memorize references and mock other people for?  Issues of race.

And so we have a man with little insight beyond what Massive Duck, Angelus, Lui Kang, and A link to the Past tell him to think.  But he can repeat what they say and nobody can question his attempts to link disparate issues because he has authority.  He even makes the same smirk he did as a kid while dressing down another person for not having "knowledge."

Historically, America did export its racism, especially in Asia. That's not to say that BCT rhetoric of blaming America at all times is reasonable, but to pretend this didn't happen flies in the face of facts. After WWII for example, America soldiers used their wide reach and influence to wrongly say that all black people are thieves. This is why in Japan, where there are basically barely any black people, they might assume you're going to steal if you go into a store: it's what they were told by white people. So it isn't really unprecedented. The problem is Slayven makes this point with zero evidence and nothing but feelings and conjecture.

[etiolate]

Trust me, Asia was racist before US Soldiers got there. Japanese, Chinese and South East Asian relations aren't so good.
