Originally posted by Spartanforlife4 View PostOk. I thought it was about misogyny so I guess I was right with that. The article I was reading though was an entire story about developing some game and I had never heard of that part of it or the people involved with it and it was just so far above my head that I thought everything I knew about Gamergate was wrong.
On the flip side, I found a site that hosts a bunch of old games. NHL 94 is actually more fun to play than the current NHL games because there aren't any auto-goals.
There's many different threads in this between cultural co-opting, people whose societal positions are made less on creating and more on controversy generation, and general ethics in between the journalism and marketing communities in that industry so its a lot more complex than "its the basement nerds being upset about women in their presence".

Also live (at least for the moment) within long stumbling distance of this wonderful little place.

I'd love to have a more modern pin, but only really have room for one, and my wife really likes the Dealers Choice.BOSTON UNIVERSITY TERRIERS

The gaming media has been one giant advertising wing of the industry since the original Nintendo Power magazine in the 80s, if not longer. Funny how it only became an issue when women started commenting on the apparent sexism in most major publishing houses.Last edited by unofan; 02-16-2015, 01:57 PM.

Saw an ad for MLB 15. Looks good! It'll be the first new gen version I get.
I've been playing 14 on PS3 this week in preparation. Twins are 10-1 in spring training so far.PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris

If anyone's playing Clash of Clans and is looking for a new clan, a buddy of mine just started one and we only have 4 members (levels 109, 88, 70, and 63). Looking for people with at least 1200 trophies and at least at level 60.St. Cloud, Minnesota: You could do worse...

Re: Official Video Games Thread VIII: Titans are destined to fall
PS Vita 3rd birthday sale on PSN store. Nothing that exciting, but you could get a few cheap items.
I bought Hyperdevotion Noire (Vita). It's an SRPG in the Hyperdimension Neptunia universe. Not a sale item sadly.
Wife picked up Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires (ps3).
Also pre-ordered MLB The Show 10th Anv. Ed. (Ps4) last week.PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris

I'm supposed to have a Jr. Pac-Man (factory/official conversion of a Super Pac-Man) delivered today, and my EM pin is failing. It's really going to look like amateur hour if the guy who just restored a machine is dropping it off next to one this guy can't get running.

Originally posted by Twitch Boy View PostRelax. My TZ is still in a heap on the floor with half the solenoids not working (took a bit of an abrupt transfer to Denver, closing on a house soon and will worry about it then)
I've really only jumped back into arcade stuff in the last couple of months because we had our first kid last year. The week after we found out about the pregnancy, the pin went down and I didn't have time to fix it until the kid was a couple months old. I feel guilty making even a quick fix if there's anything more productive I can do.
The pin was running by the evening. I fixed some nagging issues that I was trying to ignore (oversensitive leaf switch on a pop bumper, stuff like that), but mostly, I think EMs just hate the cold temperatures. It needs winter to end more than I do.BOSTON UNIVERSITY TERRIERS

Re: Official Video Games Thread VIII: Titans are destined to fall
Picked up Disgaea 5 while in Japan. It's not hitting the US till October...
You don't need to be able to read Japanese to play that series since it's all stat based. So it makes a good import.PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris
