A Yolo Wizard posted:it wasn't on the podcast or front page soooo it probably was never. The Brown Menace posted:a while ago, some chick from his college days accused him of raping her and it was all over the place, especially places which are going all "oh it wouldn't be ethical to pry into someone's personal life" about the zoe thing (though it isn't about who she hosed at all, they know this to deflect attention away from the real issue of corruption) no, i mean, i'm pretty sure they never actually mentioned this directly. maybe klepek said something on his blog, but he is a goddamn goober. jeff posted something on the frontpage saying "hey gamers, stop being loving scum, and dont imply that you're part of giant bomb or associated with us at all", which never actually mentioned the situation at all because he's not a goddamn drama queen fuckin lol

The Brown Menace posted:the point inflation is besides the point. there needs to be shades of scores between good, very good, and flawless games. haha loving video games aren't graded on some absolute scale of game perfection. weirdo spergs like Ulillillia might arbitrarily assign impossibly exact values to everything, but Real People don't do that because reviewing media isnt the same as grading a math test. game sites realized that giving a PRECISE NUMERICAL FORMULA OF SCORING PERFECTION was retarded because it is entirely unrelated to the question of "is this a good loving game?"

jalopybrown posted:I assumed the interactive art instillation was free but it seems to cost actual money, how long can you draw it out if you didn't do the speedrunning? about 4 hours. it was actually really cool for the art assets, since they were were able to create a place that felt sorta "real". most games will copy/paste objects as necessary in the game (since they are budgeted only for a limited number of unique assets for an area), but here basically everything was one-of-a-kind, which is impossible for games of bigger scope. the original $20 price was loving ludicrous though

V!ntar posted:I don't get it. Why is everyone on Quinn's side arguing about misogyny? This has nothing to do with gender, she cheated on her boyfriend with 5 guys in the gaming press. Thos 5 guys gave that pretentious poo poo of a game good reviews. Where does it matter that she was a woman? they're arguing about misogyny because the response isn't, "oh, maybe she is not a very nice person" but instead "i knew that dumb feminist bitch was a lying whore! keep this liberal BULLSHIT out of games!"

Nion posted:Sarkeesians videos are pretty much on the level of a high school project. Clips lifted from Youtube videos completely unsourced, text read straight from the Wiki and TVTropes pages for the subject, never moves on from What into How or Why. Decent if you want to get a B-/C+ in class, useless if you want to convince anyone of anything. People don't get mad at her videos because they are intro-level stuff, but instead because they can't loving handle intro level criticism. All you need to do is point out something basic and obvious and people get frothing mad about feminazis any actual academic criticism would be lost on gamers lol

apparently Gone Home was IGN's (PC) game of the year http://www.ign.com/wikis/best-of-2013/Best_PC_Game gamespot nominated it for GOTY too either the indie conspiracy is a thousand limbed beast that traps all, or video game dudes sorta like gone home makes u think

Lobster Harmonica posted:The Zelda and Mario games both happened to be really good tho, ie really technically proficient with great visuals on weak hardware and really well-designed and paced gameplay Zelda and Mario were great, but they were still iterative and not really innovative. critics liked gone home for actually doing something that felt new (expanding the interacalary segments of FPS shooters and survival horror games, that are based on narratives through exploration, into a full game) there shouldn't be a yearly gone home franchise with bitchin DLC packs, but it was a cool game when it was released. Also it can be described as a love story between a lesbian and the idea of a ghost
