Oh how about the king wants the princess to marry the ugly son of some other king for political reasons but she only has eyes for the handsome stable boy? So she betrays her father and leaves the castle with him but with her fathers men hot in pursuit.

So I actually searched for this lovely depression quest game. Can someone explain to me how a couple of html pages with hyperlinks can be on Steam? As a game???

Because I'm not searching it again.

if you ask zoe she will tell you it's free because it came out on the same day robin williams offed himself and she didn't want to delay the release because it contains an important message that could help people suffering from mental illnesses and so she decided to make it free so she wouldn't catch flak for exploiting a beloved comedians death

except that it was always a free/pay-what-you-want game

yes thats a good way to get free press. Shes not stupid but shes loving stupid. If she would just shut up and turn off the internet for a few days, it would blow over and she would be forgotten until the next time she cucked up.

I dont think shes capable of stepping away from the internet. Seems like her only social circle is 100% internet and thus pretty terrible.

i'm glad that, if you wrap it up in the right social movement, you can take a 15 year old's paranoid fantasy of foiling a hostage situation by stealing the guy's AK and turn it into an empowerment narrative worth at least a 500% overfund on kickstarter

I find that trailer disturbing that she's taking the concept of a character being attacked and forcefully stripped and making it humorous. That's horrific.

It's okay he's a man, notice he's kind of pudgy and has fat rolls even though he's presumably a soldier in a martial capacity working for a function kingdom and tee hee he has little heart-shaped boxers

anyway men suck as you can clearly see, as before this princess (!?) was deposed her soldiers were held to strict standards of physical fitness and her prisons were highly secure, incapable of being destroyed in a single punch by a 15-year-old girl

Holy gently caress I was listening to some guy droll on and on about Anita on her ED page and half way through I was like "this isn't the loving Kennedy assassination". I think it's pretty obvious that she and Zoe are disingenuous scammers who make their money from people being outraged on the internet (or from those defending them from the outraged), but there are thousands and thousands of scammers in pretty much every part of society. Where there are people willing to part with their cash for whatever reason, there will be others there to collect it however they can.

Really, Zoe's story is so funny because of the delusional people on all sides. You can sit on the sidelines and watch a bunch of insane people internet fight each other. I was really hoping for some full blown "internet war" to break out.

Zoe Quinn's success simply goes to show the glory of the free market system. Even stupid people should be free to spend their money how they wish and if Zoe has found a way to collect then good for her.

You should just link to the actual journalist source that kotaku is going from: http://www.newstatesman.com/future-proof/2014/08/tropes-vs-anita-sarkeesian-passing-lame-anti-feminist-nonsense-critique

It's actually not bad. They make a good point about how people calling her overfunded are basically blaming either themselves or a voiceless mob of people who willingly gave money to an overfunded project. She DID only ask for 6k.

The other point is in regards to her not being a gamer.

quote:

Pauline Kael was an ad copywriter before she became a film critic; Roger Ebert wrote science fiction. It's never been necessary to have experience creating something before being allowed to critique it. As for experience of playing games...
*insert a picture of Anita posing beside about $2000 worth of games for every system*
How many games makes a gamer?

This is hilarious because it sort of goes to denounce the first point. People accuse her of not playing games, she has legitimately stolen game footage, and a stock photo TAKEN BY HER posing beside games and quite clearly NOT PLAYING THEM is the evidence to exonerate her. I...I mean, come on New Statesman. Aren't you better than this?

quote:

Of course, it's not the same at all. This video is specifically referring to Sarkeesian's discussion of women as background decoration - that is, they don't have any influence on the narrative, and their existence is entirely predicated on their usefulness or otherwise to the player. Hitman: Absolution does penalise the player (slightly) for killing the exotic dancers, just as it does other civilians, but the crucial point is not whether the player chooses to kill them or not. It's that the game presents it as an option at all.

So women are equal to men and thus should NEVER be casualties in any video game ever because feminism. Hrm.

She has never stolen any footage in any legal sense. You may find it in bad faith not to link to sources of footage, but it is legal. There are also photos of her playing the games, and in actuality she must have played them since she obviously can retell parts of them in great detail.
