^ Why do people even pay attention to these tabloids/junk? As if they had their shit together to begin with (Liverpool and most footy fans know what I'm talking about especially)! Why bother?

On another note, can't wait for the Tales re-release.

That guy can go fuck a load of flying dicks.

In other news, someone posted something here earlier about patent trolls trying to sue Nintendo again, right? Well, they lost and Nintendo can continue selling Wiis in the US.

Glad I never really read Dtoid, although I applaud him if he did try to get someone the mental help they clearly need. If not, he's a real piece of work that put the headline instead of the people (more so than he did already).

I still love Jim and some of the other dudes on Dtoid (megastrike hello!) but this is just ridiculous. She attempts suicide because she feared being outted and he didn't even wait to hear if she was dead or not before outing her without her consent. Just because he knew this about her didn't give him any right to reveal it.

I don't know the details but if people were funding an indiegogo for a game and were actually funding their surgery, it could be considered news.

No that doesn't make it better.

Relax. The Supreme Court just about always upholds the First Amendment. Nothing will come to pass of this.

Although I'm now starting to suspect Biden is just dead weight for Obama...

Her indiegogo was for a nondescript surgery, and when asked about it they claimed it was for "metal poisoning". Indiegogo took it down because they considered it fraud. It was a gamble and a pretty stupid move IMO, but it doesn't excuse Allistar's actions in the least.

On happier news, yay ZombiU! It was a super fun game :v

Also, there's nothing really wrong with them taxing media companies more. Maybe they'll pay more than 0% tax sometime! And besides, it's all just political posturing considering their hands are tied about doing anything actually effective concerning guns and violence with the awful obstructionist congress that the republicans have created.

As I said I didn't have all the details. Still a shitty thing to do, I hope they are able to get real help.

And they can certainly tax the hell out of Violent Games. See Cigarettes. Doesn't mean it's a good decision.

Cigarettes actually have a documented health hazard, linked to lung cancer, emphysema and COPD, to name a few. The most violent video games have been documented to cause is eye strain and the occasional epileptic seizure, but what video game does NOT have that risk?

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

zzzzz what a lovely comparison. Lets throw other forms of entertainment into this and compare them to cigarettes (lets throw the ATF in here too for laughs) while we're at it.

It's the comparison they're making. I don't like it and I think it's stupid. Tax the fucking guns.

I agree.
