  1. So I got insurgency from Biggs. Might try it out. Probably. Thanks Biggs! Shaftiel
  2. Assault is fun. I agree with Ca*COUGH* *COUGH* *HACK* Sry.. I think I had a hair ball or something. Shaftiel
  3. One persons facts are another persons baseless opinion. You are mistaken, and you will not win this argument. There is no upside to this for you. Either accept that the admins need to hear everything that is going on and enjoy the game, or don't and leave. Your choice. Both choices are acceptable in your case. Shaftiel
  4. lol, looks like server one has been dead for 12hours. People don't like the new order Shaftiel
  5. Tennille Shaftiel <------- old
  6. I have not owned a joystick in forever...... Use to agonize over a joystick purchase. Had to fit my hand just right, buttons had to be in the right spots, the base couldn't be to small, or to big.... lol So much fun Shaftiel

  8. I swear to god I am not a trouble maker! lol Shaftiel
  9. Usually we lock a topic when/if people start getting angry and start losing their temper. That has not happened yet lol. And anyway, I want to know how someone can claim journalistic fraud when dealing with a subjective entity like a game where its based entirely on personal opinions. Shaftiel
  10. All of your examples are of the backlash against Gamersgate, not of the supposed journalistic lies or abuse that spawned it. You are pointing to the result not the origin. Of course there will be a violent push back. Violence breeds violence. Regardless of what you claim the majority of GG believes, the very vocal minority has the reins right now. The only way to validate your position is to provide examples of journalistic ethics abuse that are egregious and wide spread enough to warrant the movement at all. Not point to the backlash against the violent attacks from GG. Shaftiel
  11. What does that even mean? Give me an example. Shaftiel
  12. Dude. On one side we have a woman who didn't sleep around to get good reviews for a game. On the other side we have people threatening the lives and families of women. There is no winning this. Shaftiel
  13. OK. This is completely ridicules. What are you talking about? Radical feminist movement? Honest video game news? These are preposterous statements. Why is anyone worried about what ‘Zoe’ did or did not do, regardless of the reasons she did them? Are there more women writers and bloggers talking about video games? Sure! Do they have an opinion that might differ from that of a 16 year old boy? Sure! By expressing that opinion are they a part of a vast feminazi conspiracy to ruin gaming forever? No! Kids need to deal with the fact that other people enjoy different aspects of games, and that not everyone agrees about what makes a game enjoyable. Given that whether or not someone enjoys a game or not is a purely subjective issue, what do you mean with the phrase, “ … gamers just want honest news about video games”? What news do you think you are getting? Is it that a game you enjoy playing is getting bad reviews and you don’t agree with it? Would that then be dishonest news? Unfair? What does ‘honest news’ even mean in this context? There are no absolutes in ‘fun’. Everyone enjoys things differently and for different reasons. This whole thing reeks of a childish tantrum because not everyone enjoys playing games the same way as you. The Gamersgate movement has at the very least been hijacked by a very angry, very vocally violent group. It does not have any viable moral standing. It is nothing but a mouthpiece for angry women hating gamer nerds. There is no way to defend it, it has no legitimate value in any discussion involving ethics. Shaftiel
  14. So you are going the conspiracy route on this? The 'man' is spreading lies and misinformation about this wonderful and completely rational group? Regardless of the supposed motives (Which, by the way, I think are completely ridicules. Ethics in gaming journalism? Its a completely subjective issue, there is no right or wrong answer) of this 'movement', it definitely seems to have been hijacked by some pretty extreme individuals, and no longer serves as the platform it was supposedly intended for. Shaftiel
  15. I have no idea what this is all about, but whatever it is has upset my girl Felicia Day. That is not allowed. Anyone able to explain what 'Gamersgate' is? Shaftiel
