Also: if Anita Sarkesian could please go get a real job and stop tying to monetize the feminist movement, that would be great. She's hurting it far more than she's helping it.

Not sure I really agree

I think that video games is one industry where the portrayal of women is an actual serious issue that does need to be brought up

It does, and it has been - but her method as I mentioned is basically like Jack Thompson and violent video games.

Totally re-watching The Goonies right now. 80's geek FTW.

Damn. Kuemper with the shutout and of course I played Varly...
Though, wouldn't have mattered since apparently Vermette and Shattenkirk had big games and I still would have lost by like 10 points on the day.

I'll be honest and admit to not keeping a strong eye on what's going on in video games anymore. I thought all she did was seminars and videos?

 

[MainDotC]

I loved The Goonies. One of a few 80's movies that has stood the test of time in today's instant-gratification society.

 

[BK201]

Back to the future is pretty bad ass, maybe some bill and ted or terminator, the karate kid, the breakfast club etc 80's movies mare pretty good.

Sweep the leg.

 

[BK201]

Cauliflower steak, spicy peanut butter spaghtti squash, MORE CAULIFLOWER, and hearty mac and cheese.

Did you make that?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Talking about 80s movies and no one mentions They Live?

You criticize a thread for not having the right 80s movies reference and you didn't bring up Ferris Bueller's Day Off?

ugh...couldn't stand that movie. There's something about Broderick that just annoys me.

Yeah, if we're talking 80s iconic movies, there's E.T., Little Shop of Horrors, The Shining, Stand By Me, Poltergeist, Neverending Story.....great decade for movies.

How could you miss The Princess Bride and Labyrinth (or any of the other Henson movies)!

The THing. The original one with Kurt Russel is on my 80s movie list. Still better than all the horror/monster stuff they're putting out today.

Please check out this guy's analysis - gives me much more appreciation for the movie.

walking through Barnes and Noble and what do I see...

 

[Baby Ryan]

Rogers (mobile service) pisses me off to no end. I'm legitimately angry for once in a very long time

Like, I'm raging on the inside right now, Rogers is **** me off so hard. Crappy company (in terms of mobile service). Limits you so hard and when you say you're going to leave they pony up the discounts out of nowhere, what the crap.

Gamer Gate is like two different issues that happened really close together and blown out of proportion by industry journalists because they had nothing else to do.

1) you had that one developer who made the depression game or whatever, having her personal life publicized by an exbf - which included dating a game reviewer for a while (though he never reported on her games /they didn't date any time around the game release)
2) Had that other person who made some videos about misogyny in video games and got all the SJW and White Knights on one side with her and a bunch of people proving her point on the other side, with normal individuals pointing out she basically was just being Jack Thompson 2.0.

They got CNN'd and both make feminism look bad.

That explains why a bunch of people are asking about it now. In the game world #gamergate is basically over now and a good month and a half old news at least.

Was confused why people at work were talking about it this week suddenly

I can't believe they have a Data action figure. Love that kid.
