That's Rez, and IMHO dualshock itself is pretty vibratory. Lots of ways to make it vibrate forever.

Fez is a boring puzzle game with groundbreaking gameplay like needing a $600 phone.

Edit: I guess a several hundred dollar tablet or ipod would work too. In theory you could use a digital camera I guess?

I don't even know what the fuck I'm doing!!
I personally don't care who she slept with or what lives she ruined with her fat sea pig vagina, that's between her and them.

What keeps me reading this entire drama saga is the greasy poo poo she did to promote herself, kill any press degrading from her rising star and destroying other people's businesses(charity) to pocket monies for herself.

That's a pretty rotten person on the inside; penis or no penis.

Like somebody had posted 30 pages ago now, if she had apologized for all the greasy poo poo saying things got away from herself and her ego went unchecked for too long and all the press people(Phil Fish, Marty Stouffer, Ferda White Knight John, Blue Haired Delicate Guy, Guy who looks like he's on acid) all said 'we hosed up and crossed some lines' Nobody would have cared and nobody we be this deep into this drama.

Instead it is a train wreck I can't look away from, as people on Reddit posted before it got deleted by another questionable mod over there "Streisand effect in full force"

I don't think an internet-drama-fan-fiction could be written any better then how this thing has unfolded, it just has so many charismatic characters.

Sadly for Fil Phish, I think his end is going to be a tightly tied rope and then we're all going to feel a little bad for not pre-ordering Fez 2

The thing is you used to get banned/probated for going against it in GBS 1.0. It's still pretty big on subforums like Games (e.g. gamers.txt is usually goons literally shaking over pointless poo poo like a gamefaqs poster saying "zelda is hot", other threads like the LoL thread have those videogame sexism discussion once in a while), TV/IV (e.g. goons shat themselves over another goon saying a female character is hot a couple of months ago) or D&D (gently caress going there so I don't have examples for this one).

Like the initial "story" wasn't even that bad.

Yeah she slept around with people in the industry, but just because she did doesn't mean she did it just to advance her career. The industry is her main social circle and if she's going to make some poor morale choices, well those are the people she's going to do it with. People sleep together for a whole slew of reasons which don't necessarily involve trading sex for favors.

As for Nathan Grayson, he did commit an ethical violation but there's a real point that he never specifically covered her game. He's written articles where her game is mentioned, or even mentioned prominently, and while this did up her profile there's no reason he wouldn't cover her even if he wasn't sleeping with her. Yeah he should have removed himself from writing these pieces and is a bit of a hypocrite, but really all that is expected is a small apology and the expectation he won't cover her anymore.

However the way they've dealt with it along with their supporters has been incredibly disgusting and insane. They really have turned this from a minor event no one would have cared about into a massive poo poo fest that's probably going to burn down PAX itself.

It's pretty dumb how the Internet has gone all "omg game journalism integrity" when really the initial story was all about gaslighting, abuse and going "hey, this person presenting themselves as a paragon of virtue, fairness and equality is actually being a loving awful person, fyi".

But hey, Internet drama isn't anywhere near as hilarious when it doesn't devolve into polarising "issues" that are tangentially related to the original incident, resulting in all parties throwing poo poo at each other.

In summary, :f5:.

I think I got a really good vision for my RPG of this.

Joey Winn's Quest
==================

You are Joey Winn, an aspiring game developer. You like making games and are trying to break into an industry dominated by men and have just gotten a job at a new indie game company. However your boss wants to sleep with you.

Part 1: Sexual Harassment in the workplace, sleep with your boss or not.

Part 2: Game Jam disaster, sleep with reporter or not.

Part 3: Joey Winn start's making Robin Williams Quest to help people understand suicide. However it's not getting green lit. Gul Dukat advises her to go and frame the 30 year old virgins of Sorcerer Chan to cause controversy in order to get the game Green Lit. If she chooses to do this, it works and Sorcerer Chan commits mass suicide and the game is Green Lit. Otherwise she puts a lot of work into it and it's still Green Lit.

Part 4A: Now here's where things get awesome. If you've chosen the dark side decisions in Part 1 through 3, Joey Winn's boyfriend will rat her out to the internet. She has one last choice to get the alternate ending (apologize) however if you don't take this you then have to go through the Dark Side ending where you need to fight Total Biscuit and Internet Aristocrat. Afterwards you manage to have an unfulfilled life with money, wondering how things came to this.

Part 4B: If you've chosen all the light side decisions in Part 1 through 3, Joey Winn will have to fight Gul Dukat. Afterwards she manage to get less money but Robin William Quest helps start her career off and while she's not famous, she see's she really helped paved the way for future female game devs and goes on to have a wonderful life.

I think I can get this done by Wednesday, just in time for the PAX protest.
