“There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again. Fool me one more time after that, you must be making a new Gran Turismo game.”

This is a more than a little condescending to anyone but single men, isn't it? You realize you're making all of the same points Jordan Peterson makes that he claims explain the gender pay gap, except your conclusion is to change the rules and stifle ambition for everyone because of "those darn hard young working males."

We need more diverse and inclusive video games, but we need to get there through rewarding companies that seek out and provide more opportunities that prove what should be obvious; that women and those with untraditional gender roles are fully as capable as men, *not* lowering standards because they aren't.

This is one of those things i only thing about when i'm setting up my pc for the first time, but ublock origin / noscript in firefox, ublock origin for chrome. If you want to use roku, etc, look at pihole, which I need to get off my ass and do. Maybe uMatrix for chrome too, but i like having a generally unfucked with browser for work stuff.

@robertforster: a bot bumps it because of knock off viagra, a mod deletes the bot post, a real person replies... knock off viagra wins.

If you've never met, or yourself been, a 14 year old boy, they're usually shitheads in one way or another. I'm always surprised that this is news to people. Most people on this site probably aren't that, but a lot of Gamers are. Trying to discern their mental state is probably a waste of time, and / or a lively topic for bridge night.

The fact is, your chosen pastime is / has been largely dominated by an age group of humans whose brains are equivalent to mashed potatoes.

Second on Matchstick Men, but its sort of just a good movie, not a good Nick Cage movie.

This is how I'd look at it, were I bigwig and just bought multiple video game sites at bargain basement rates, one with a lot of unique visitors and no paid sub model and one with 1/10 of the visitors and a paid sub model. GB has a successful long time paid sub model and talent that drives people to actually pay. The only scenario where such a model might transfer to another, say larger site, maybe something like Gamespot, is to merge the talent and the site together.

I haven't been to gamespot in years... they don't actually have a paid sub model right? I'm assuming not.

@thehende92: The ME end song is great! I forgot about that. ME1 may be GOAT soundtrack.

Holy lord that Press Your Luck thing Dan has going on is terrific.

No knock warrants are nonsense. Maybe my google-fu needs work, but I can't even find any news pushing this on why the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act hasn't gotten any movement since it was introduced on 6/11. At least Louisville banned them.
