Wait, it is hers. It's official.
I originally made the mistake of posting about it on Twitter, then immediately saw Rusty's post and immediately deleted it, less than a minute up. It was up long enough however for Minecraft Server bots to start spamming me so I guess thats punishment enough. [img]http://u.cubeupload.com/Coldmute/AqqlDz.png[/img] Ohh yeah, so also I noticed a thing people are retweeting where apparently Wu is saying she won't be at PAX East because of threats and harassment. Except well she will be there for panels. Of course GamerGate gets the blame because lolreally? Apparently there was something about how she called the PAX Staff three times for *mumble* and never got an answer. Comedy.
What ever comes of this just make sure you archive the shit out of everything.

[QUOTE=Comrade_Eko;47169174]It's James writing about gender, so of course he does something stupid like say portal is a traditional fps that appeals to women even though he has wrote several times in the past how stupid it is to call portal a traditional fps. It's James, he's a really smart guy and I agree with so much he has to say about games in general, he just kinda stops using logic whenever someone says the word "gender" around him. Which is ok, no one is perfect, it's just his opinion after all. I'm not butthurt in the slightest that he and I disagree on this subject, but I am still upset how he spoke about TB, at least until he apologizes for it, which to my knowledge he still has not done.[/QUOTE] Or faith. Otherwise I'd agree if he was still doing proper research though (but unfortunately this hasn't been that much the case lately so he sometimes produces outright ridiculous material).
Digging on UBM They own: -Gamasutra -CareerGameGuide.com -IGF -GDC (game developer choice awards included) and this is just their Tech sector of their media arm jesus christ [url]http://www.ubmgamenetwork.com/[/url]
[QUOTE=Xonax;47169606]If they somehow manage to figure out how to edit their posts and snip it, do you think we should Archive the page?[/QUOTE] You can't, Garry made the forum really opaque in that regard recently. The best you can do is screenshotting everything. (I'm pretty sure mods can see past versions though.)

[editline]19th February 2015[/editline] I wonder if anyones bothered trying to grab a similar domain to a popular site or blog then archiving something that looks like the website that isn't. I certainly wouldnt notice an incorrect url on some of the blogs we've been seeing archived related to GG. Not that this would serve much if any purpose for anyone.

UBM is located in London, goodspeed Garry.
I dug some stuff up after talking with Wii60 and think that I found some people in the tech industry who are not very fond of Gawker. The list of names include both higher ups in Apple as well as Oracle. This class action is going to give so much munitions it's not even funny (okay, it is actually). [editline]19th February 2015[/editline] I'll make a post about this later. It's 4am and I think sleep comes first. [editline]19th February 2015[/editline] Also Death Grips.
Shit guys, she found out. [url]https://twitter.com/@Pixelgoth[/url]
Leaking private info? Exactly what part of the info we 'leaked' is private? :v:
[QUOTE=Xonax;47170128]Shit guys, she found out. [url]https://twitter.com/@Pixelgoth[/url][/QUOTE] leaking super private emails that are on her site
[QUOTE=Xonax;47170128]Shit guys, she found out. [url]https://twitter.com/@Pixelgoth[/url][/QUOTE] Someone's getting a bit too mad about having their e-mail (which is already) public. Maybe they shouldn't be a professional moron.

[QUOTE=Xonax;47170128]Shit guys, she found out. [url]https://twitter.com/@Pixelgoth[/url][/QUOTE] Looks like someone's feeding her bullshit via MC chat b/c she hasn't bothered checking this thread. Or sources lol
"Does anyone know if the Facepunch forums are directly tied to the company that creates Gary's Mod? Because if so I want to talk to them." Welp.

tbh I'm surprised we've gone this long talking about GG without someone taking notice.
[QUOTE=Elstumpo;47170321]tbh I'm surprised we've gone this long talking about GG without someone taking notice.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's quite shocking. I guess it proves how lonely all of us are.
