[QUOTE=Ithon;46936700]Nightline going to do a hitpiece with a LW.[/QUOTE] Hit them with the Intel branded tweets and other gems.
[QUOTE=Ithon;46936700]Nightline going to do a hitpiece with a LW.[/QUOTE] Wait, who? When? How beneficial will this be to GG?
[QUOTE=TheJoey;46932606]there's also this article by "ben shapiro's truth revolt": "Is Intel In Bed With An Anti-Semite?" [url]http://www.truthrevolt.org/commentary/curtis-intel-bed-anti-semite[/url] not a huge site i dont think? but still plants the seeds.[/QUOTE] This looks crazily right-wing. If I remember correctly a lot of (somewhat dangerously) right-wing people have become more aware of the SJW issue due Gamergate. If they start pushing against them more it's probably an everybody-wins situation due to occupying them from promoting their own terribleness.
[QUOTE=Xenomoose;46936804]Wait, who? When? How beneficial will this be to GG?[/QUOTE] tonight, might hit on GTAV [url]https://twitter.com/JujuChangABC/status/555540170272157696[/url]
[QUOTE=Ithon;46936827]tonight, might hit on GTAV [URL]https://twitter.com/JujuChangABC/status/555540170272157696[/URL][/QUOTE] This seems like the exact opposite of "hitpiece on a LW". EDIT: Dammit, I misread the original post. Hitpiece WITH a LW. Goddammit. Rate boxes, please.
[QUOTE=Wii60;46936446]i wanna touch on Pax for one more thing that i forgot to mention. Pax actively bans booth babes. for those who dont know what they are, they are women who advertise a product in a companies booth. they are given the title "booth babes" because the women are usually attractive. heres a example story from Pax Aus: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/LhXgc62.png[/IMG] and the new Booth babe policies limit what clothes they can wear (it says "ANY gender" but name me one guy who wears higher than 4" skirts and shows navel and clevage at pax) [URL]http://i.imgur.com/zlZkRJk.jpg[/URL] hell the entire Pax Aus Guide looks terrible: [url]https://imgur.com/a/QeK0M[/url][/QUOTE] I saw that thread. The Diversity Lounge was filled up with only white people.
[QUOTE=Zet;46936911]I saw that thread. The Diversity Lounge was filled up with only white people.[/QUOTE] Must have been on the first day, it was deserted by the last day.
[QUOTE=warneccruid;46936283]So nice to see this thread again and with that a hot news. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YKVc176.png[/IMG] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/4xJ69LE.jpg[/thumb] Tyler is dating a ubisoft employee [URL]https://twitter.com/TheFartRises/status/555547927255732225[/URL][/QUOTE] [img]https://i.imgur.com/i5nd27y.jpg[/img] What the fucking fuck. And he has the gall to call us out on a joke? His "journalism" career is a fucking joke. [editline]15th January 2015[/editline] So basically, PCGamer went full Kotaku.
afaik the article only said the joke was getting old, not anything console wars-related...
now PC GAMER is in full damage control everything related to ubisoft is getting deleted on the site
[QUOTE=MasterKade;46937062]afaik the article only said the joke was getting old, not anything console wars-related...[/QUOTE] He wrote articles pushing Ubisoft without any disclosure at all, which seems to be the main thing people bring up. About the "Let's stop calling ourselves the 'PC Master Race'" thing: It starts out that way but then he goes over to not-quite language-policing because it makes people uncomfortable. [URL="https://archive.today/yfV3C#selection-965.1-965.20"]It even has a "We need a new term."-section.[/URL] It's completely idiotic because you can't kill a meme like that, and writing such an article only perpetuates it because even more people start using it just to piss him off.
[QUOTE=warneccruid;46937092]now PC GAMER is in full damage control everything related to ubisoft is getting deleted on the site[/QUOTE] [B]HAHAH HOLY SHIT![/B] [editline]15th January 2015[/editline] Any proof on that?? [editline]15th January 2015[/editline] Oh shit, some of the info posted on @TheFartRises is huge. Well... time to ditch PCGamer.
That pc gamer guy is hilariously bad at hiding it [url]https://archive.today/zCEQr[/url]

Doesn't that seem a little off?
[QUOTE=warneccruid;46937092]now PC GAMER is in full damage control everything related to ubisoft is getting deleted on the site[/QUOTE] Talk crap, get slapped.
Hahah TB is on a roll, read his Twitter TL

[video=youtube;nbIHJVNSGI4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbIHJVNSGI4[/video] gamergate livestream they are talking about a zoe quinn & SA info dump that comes out soon. no smoking gun content but it adds context
that stream went off the rails once queeny got on board, funny.
the best gamergate streams have satan on though so

The nightline video can be watched here: [url]http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/feels-gamergate-target-28238598[/url]
I need sleep but leave your comments in the ABC, if you use not your shield talk about that as well.
[QUOTE=Zet;46938000]The nightline video can be watched here: [url]http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/feels-gamergate-target-28238598[/url][/QUOTE] Dat same old unfounded line about how video games influence people, only they traded violence for sexism....
[QUOTE=warneccruid;46936283] Tyler is dating a ubisoft employee [/QUOTE] I know I'm a bit late to the party but please, for the love of god, don't post links to Press Fart or give him attention in any way possible. Half a year ago he has been told by Dodger (female YouTuber) to get mental help because he was seemingly obsessed with her. You can find her statement [URL="http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1s2fjne"]here[/URL]. Also TotalBiscuit commented on him [URL="http://www.twitlonger.com/show/nh2uij"]here[/URL].
Yeah Fart is a psycho, stay as far as possible from him Someone retweeted him talking about tyler and some of the things he said commenting on his tweets are flat out disturbing We want disclosure, not scrutinize their private life. This is how you get people to get on the defensive instead of addressing your concerns

[QUOTE=Wii60;46937385] they are talking about a zoe quinn & SA info dump that comes out soon. no smoking gun content but it adds context[/QUOTE] For my taste they're jumping to conclusions too quickly. Also a few statements are simply wrong, like McIntosh saying that Charlie Hebdo "deserved" it.
[QUOTE=Wii60;46936446]Pax actively bans booth babes. for those who dont know what they are, they are women who advertise a product in a companies booth. they are given the title "booth babes" because the women are usually attractive.[/QUOTE] I think this is a rather light description of booth babes. It's advertisers trying to get attention with cheap sex appeal... I really don't mind them disappearing from conventions. Cosplay is cool though 'cause at least it's related.
