The Taint Reaper: Sep 4, 2012; by Shine

If a group of games journalists were hanging off a ledge and were about to fall I would run up there and start bashing their fingers with a hammer in order to hasten the process.

that counts as sexual harassment though.

Women will generally spend hours in front of a mirror improving their looks so that they can attract the most successful men possible. They're purposely choosing to use their bodies to reward successful behavior in men.

They do this for one reason. They believe it's easier than actually becoming successful themselves. That's why you see lots of men going into difficult high paying majors and women taking easier lower paying ones. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. That's just the general decisions of each gender. Men know that if they want to become wealthy they need to earn it, while it's easier for women to simply marry into wealth. Again nothing wrong. If a women chooses to forgo fun in her youth to achieve a daunting degree like engineering that's great. And if a women chooses to party and have fun in college then marry an engineer that's fine too.

So I'm sorry to burst your victimhood bubble but there is no underlying male domination in society. Men are far more likely to be killed on the job. Far more likely to be attacked in public. Far more likely to have to earn their own wealth. Far more likely to kill themselves. Far more likely to be drafted into the next big war to be used as cannon fodder. Far more likely to lose custody of their children in similar circumstances to other women. Far more likely to serve harsher sentences for the same crime. Far more likely to work at any occupation in the show Dirty Jobs. Far more likely to be hit as children. Far more likely to work longer hours than even childless mothers. In short shut the actual gently caress up and stop calling me a bad person for having a pair of balls.

Have you played Arnosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star?

Microsoft announced the Xbox One Elite or whatever the gently caress. I was ready to hop on that $399 1TB One with Halo MCC, Assassin's Creed Unity, and then Borderlands as my free game, but now I'm not sure if I should wait until November. The only visible difference in the consoles is that the Elite has an SSD.

recore is a cgi trailer with nothing else known except the guy that wrote cutscenes like "your best buddy, superfly" in dikatana is leading the project.

It doesn't have an SSD, it has a 1TB Hybrid Drive (SSHD) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_drive

It probably has a hilariously small amount of actual SSD cache on it, something like 48GB.

Inafune isn't a person who will sink a project, but he is a person who will likely have zero bearing on a game's quality, for good or bad.

What happened with red ash other than they released a video that was literally "hey look, we have a movement system and that's about it because we're in pre-alpha" and people got angry because they don't know what a pre-alpha is?

I think it's cause he's cracking open another kickstarter for what's basically Mega Man Legends 3 and people are annoyed over how Mighty No 9 is turning out.

Pre-Alpha is usually defined as Street Fighter 1, Street Fighter 2, Turbo, Championship Edition, and Super Street Fighter 2.

They did another Kickstarter when their first game isn't even out yet and when it looked like they were going to fail (which it did) they went 'lol we have a publisher willing to 100% fund it anyway'.
