  1. Has there being any news on how much the heists are going to pay out?
  2. But she's wearing a hat!
  3. Choose your database and then click the custom button underneath it. Your changes save file should be there to be selected.
  4. Sneaking on an extra 20 players is the tactic of the future. Did I mention Sepp Blatter is my uncle?
  5. I say that, after 30 games, I'm top of the PL with Newcastle, 24-3-3 and scored 107 goals.
  6. So it'll be March 12th before the servers manage to cope with the load.
  7. I will not have the name of Phillippe Albert sullied with such comparisons and slander. You're both going to die. Rafa first.
  8. I think a lot of shit teams set up against City to lose or try and nick a 0-0 and give them tons of possession as they try to stay compact. Sunday being a case in point. In the Champions League, teams actually try to beat them and often show how extremely average the majority of Man City's team are.
  9. The greatest defender in football history. Absolute hero.
  10. Roger Ebert gave it nine stars after Warhol gave him a hand job.
  11. Gazz

    Cricket!

    Well, Israel are shit at cricket...
  12. Wasn't that in response to those stats that female gamers outnumbered adolescent male gamers and therefore the stereotypical gamer image was dead? Of course then the adolescent male gamers started spitting bile all over the Internet and firmly reestablished the stereotype that they are the dregs of society.
  13. Again, let me reword this: I'm just saying, if you excuse the issues in games media as being "it's just video games", then you can excuse the sexism and misogyny by also saying "it's just video games". Sure, it's just video games, but why settle for shittiness in video games when we can not? That works for both ethics in journalism, and issues of sexism and exclusion. I think you're missing my point, Gamergate suggests that it is fighting to eradicate nepotism and cronyism from video game journalism, but these are inherent human social constructs, we inherently favour people we like, it's part of our social make up. To attempt to eradicate it is as nebulous an idea as fighting a war on 'terror' or thinking that one day humankind will eradicate racism. It won't happen, these things, however socially unacceptable they are, will always exist in some form. I really don't think you can equate sexism, misogny and transphobia, ideologies that ruin people's lives and actively oppress minorities with someone giving a favourable review for someone they like's game, in a sea of video game review websites, magazines, Steam, Twitch, Youtube and all the other platforms that you yourself can review a game before you purchase it. Dead Island went platinum on preorders alone off of a trailer and that game was shit. Everyone is guilty of so called 'unethical' bias, if I were a game reviewer I might give a Crusader Kings III a better review that in deserves because of how much I played CK2. Conversely I might give the latest COD a shitty review because I hate that genre of game or I might give a bad review to WWE 2K16 becase CM Punk was once a dick to me at Comic-con. Absolutely impartial subjectivity is impossible. Gamergate is wasting it's time.
  14. There's not an industry or area of life that doesn't suffer from nepotism, cronyism or inherent bias (look at politics for example), pretty much all of human civilisation is based on 'if I scratch your back, you'll scratch mine', why does anyone expect video game reviews to be any different?
  15. I think the ref screwed Man City last night, it should have been at least 9-0.
  16. My question would be if Gamergate is so passionate about ethics in journalism, why are they so concerned with gaming journalism, literally the lowest rung on the journalistic ladder. Why aren't they storming the battlements of the major news channels or Rupert Murdoch's skull shaped volcano lair?
  17. We donators don't have ethics so we will cheer and maybe club some baby seals in celebration.
  18. The more ridiculous thing is since he wasn't booked, he can be retrospectively suspended. If he'd been booked, no action could be taken.
  19. It's reviewing video games, it just simply doesn't matter. There are far, far, far more important issues to deal with in the world than if some dude is getting a backhander to give a review. What score Kotaku gave 'Super Army Shooter XIV: War Bastards' is so unbelievably inconsequential to anything. Personally, I think it's a lot of people who have gone far too deep down the rabbit hole of 'Computer games put me as the all powerful centre of the universe and that is an addictive feeling' that when they come up for air and realise how utterly insignificant they are in the real world, they try and shout really loudly to make themselves seem important.
