[QUOTE=Annoyed Grunt;47235974]Do I have to give in my ISIS card to become a Nazigamer? Do I still retain my right to 40 virgins?[/QUOTE] If you turn in your ISIS card to become a Nazigamer, you lose your right to 40 virgins, but you [I]do[/I] get a portion of the company's gold bullion and free access to any of the misguided women who are with us just to avoid being harassed.
Still bothers me people try to compare a segment of the gaming community to ISIS while taking on the "they had it coming attitude" about the Charlie Hebbado attacks.

So, like, people inciting violence against people at PAX are not going to be able to go, right? They're not allowed in, even though some of them said they're not going anyway, right? [editline]1st March 2015[/editline] Ha.

Brianna Wu is spreading rumors about bomb threats at PAX - as usual, she screams it out on twitter in an attempt to give herself more attention. It's like she thinks SVU is real - at this point it's gone from obvious lies to insanity. Nobody is going to shoot anybody. bomb, or otherwise over videogame politics. How can anybody, specifically the press, legitimately listen to her and not fact check this stuff. I can't wait until she finally vanishes into irrelevancy like Zoe Quinn did - those people deserve no attention and should not represent any form of gaming. It seriously boggles my mind that anybody takes those threats seriously. It doesn't help people like KiA give her even more attention by constantly talking about her - but taking obviously fake threats and attempting to push them like they are going to happen to real world people in a real world event is too far. By inciting and increasing panic she has become the worse then those who send the threats, one way or the other.
If they do Im packing up and leaving I hear someone is offering trips to Mars seems far enough away from the stupid to start over.
[QUOTE=JesseR92;47238808]If they do Im packing up and leaving I hear someone is offering trips to Mars seems far enough away from the stupid to start over.[/QUOTE] What if there are stupids on Mars? You can't return home. I guess you could kill them, I mean it would go down in History as the first Murder outside of Earth and first Death on Mars. Anyway, hopefully Brianna Wu shuts up and loses the attention she gets. Also, what ever happened to R60 on PC? Did she ever explain why the greenlight page got taken down?

Because that world view of hers is disturbingly distorted. She needs help, but not the help she thinks she needs.

Hope she thought to do that before saying something on Twitter.
reporting to twitter is like reporting to the police right? thats what i learned in victim card class
Just something to think about, Darksydephil was anti-GG, while Pandalee(his gf) was GG.
[QUOTE=Everstvetita;47238943]Just something to think about, Darksydephil was anti-GG,[/QUOTE] Show of hands, who's genuinely surprised at this? Thought as much.
[QUOTE=Everstvetita;47238943]Just something to think about, Darksydephil was anti-GG, while Pandalee(his gf) was GG.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'm not going to take someone who thinks that smoke alarms are ineffective and they'll just wake up when there is smoke into consideration for this debate, regardless of side.
[QUOTE=JesseR92;47238808]If they do Im packing up and leaving I hear someone is offering trips to Mars seems far enough away from the stupid to start over.[/QUOTE] They've already stopped taking applicants last I heard, and have gotten to the point where they're sifting through them all to find the ideal finalists. Doubt they're taking any more for a long time. Sorry pal, you're stuck down here in the sewers of stupidity with the rest of us, at least until the first trip goes over well and they consider doing another in the future. On the bright side though, video games, internet access and laughing at morons will all remain a daily part of your life.
I never got why people want to go to Mars so much. Aliens and demons are ready and waiting to attack as soon as we get there, and if humanity somehow managed to survive that, we'd be stuck in an endless civil war on Mars, complete with major powers using armies as their proxies and space Nazis killing kids. You may get some good stuff come out of Mars, like miners fatally cripping an evil corporation via a revolt and a petite cyborg girl knowing super-powerful marial arts that saves everyone, but it's just not worth the pain and suffering.

She will be investigated and questioned since she is the only one talking about it. It's a serious crime to lie about bomb threats in the US isn't it?
