In my opinion, 2016 is an even better year for video games than 2015.
Actually, I think you'll find that according to the last two pages, 2016 is the worst year for videogames ever and they were always bad.

didnt it end up that nintendo figured out she was moon lighting as a callgirl as well and thats why the fired her. If the reason was genualy about the paper then thats bullshit. i have friends who have to write the same kind of paper for psycholgy and criminal justice.

I'm fairly sure the escort stuff was scumbags exaggerating, but even if it was that's still a hosed up thing to fire someone over. Especially when it's because scumbags are desperately trying to dig things up to get her fired.

Genuine curiosity here, is there actually any proof that she was that? Or is it just more of the same type of bullshit as usual?

Sorry that the lady got fired for moonlighting as a "something".

I don't know why anybody is continuing to harass her. Just delete your twitter and go off the Internet for awhile. The fact that the first thing she did was attempt to make this seem like she was being ousted for speaking her mind or whatever and then saying she's going to work for a progressive feminist game developer out in Seattle like okay

Lady needs to delete her twitter, update her resume, and maybe consider not offering herself as an escort or lingerie model when working for a children's toy company.

Yes it did. She was fired because hate mobs fed Nintendo inflammatory information which they used as a convenient excuse*.

It just occurred to me that I've never seen a Ghibli movie on a big screen.

Actually the only Japanese animation I've seen on a big screen is Pokémon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh (yes really) and Tokyo Godfathers.

One of those is good. Digimon.

I saw Mononoke with a friend and we were the only ones in the movie theater so we just took 2 seats right there in the middle. 5 minutes after the movie starts parents with 2 young children come in (6+10 year old), father checks his tickets and lo and behold it turns out we're sitting in their seats. The movie is already playing and I looked around the empty room with a 'really?' look on my face he wouldn't have it so ok, we go 2 rows to the back. BTW the movie had an 18+ rating where I lived. 5 minutes later we had a bit of a laugh when the family was leaving the room in a panic trying to hide the children from the screen because a guy in the movie just had both his arms cut clean off with an arrow and they were dangling from the tree and blood was everywhere. Anyway, what I'm saying is don't take kids to 18+ animes just because they look like Disney.
