HAY GUYS LETS FIND OUT WHAT FEMINISTS THINK OF A STATUE OF A PAIR OF BLOODY BOOBS

Seriously, just stop. Patrick, you're in touch with your feminine side. We get it. I know you're going to shake your head and lament about the state of the comments section on the internet while you pat yourself on the back for being Mr. Smartypants, but this is article really lame. Sex is used to sell basically every product in the world other than Polident. Get used to it because it isn't going to stop. That lame Dead Island statue thing was stupid because it was a stupid thing, not because it was a symbol of male chauvinism in a male dominated industry.

You are going to continue to see shit like this because hot people are still the single most effective way of selling products. You're going to continue to see sexy college ladies in bikinis and cowboy hats on beer commercials and you are going to continue to see hot ex NFL players wearing just a towel hawking Old Spice because it has been determined that a lot of women buy their husband's/boyfriend's toiletries.

So just stop.

Please don't try to use common sense here. We are just enjoying ourselves in this very repetitive multi-article discussion about a female torso zombie statue.

At least Patrick didn't quote himself this time. Still, this progressive, Kotaku-esque clickbait shit needs to stop, It's a horrible statue made in bad taste, nothing to cry about.

I'm guessing you're a guy, who hasn't delt with sexism. You shouldn't dismiss things you have no experience with.

What? Direct experience is required to talk about something? So history is a non-subject.

When Patrick first joined Giant Bomb, he repeatedly said in his articles that he would not talk about his personal political beliefs as he did not feel they were necessary in his writing. As time went on, he started to plug his favourite political podcasts, put his liberal slant on news stories which did not require it, dropped his political opinions on the Bombcast when they wasn't asked for, and now he is actively seeking out some kind of validation for his own moral slant in the form of this article.

Look, I love Giant Bomb and I think Patrick is a great writer. However, this is nothing more than a "ha, told you so" to the community and an ego stroking by a man who believes only his political views should be noted on this site. He could at least have sought out a more balanced view of the situation. After the first three women said largely the same thing and no other viewpoint was represented, I could not help but picture that characteristic Patrick smirk behind all this.

I know this is a ramble, but I feel the other Giant Bomb guys do a great job of concealing their political ideologies. I have no idea who Brad, Jeff, Ryan or Vinny vote for. I could certainly guess, but it definitely isn't as clear as the liberal, Democrat voting, Reddit-reading klaxon of Klepek and his incessant need to spin gaming news a particular way. I find it distasteful, even if I agree with him on issues like this. It's a bit gross on a site which was founded on being impartial and fun.

Just my tl;dr opinion.

Agreed.

When I finished watching the video I called my wife and asked: Can you do this? She did.

Thanks Drew, you're great!

@crcruz3: You know, that's the ONLY situation where i like using sticky bombs.

Yeah, pretty much the same here. I avoid them most of the time.

Just got back there again and... "I can't see a thing!"

Unreal. This game is fucking with me.

"I can't see a thing" events do not happen if you're quick enough in the previous level. This was made to prevent frustating speed runs, but i like to use it as a strategy. I call it "RUN! RUN! RUN! I HUNGER for gold".

I need to kill Anubis in 4-1 though, so you can only move as fast as that allows basically. If i don't get him in 4-1, is he in 4-2?

Anubis is in 4-1 only. I was obsessed about killing him 2 weeks ago and found that the best way is using sticky bombs, using Tiki Traps or the shotgun.

There is so much wisdom in this generator... I can't stop clicking!

Should Minecraft be 60 fps?

Should Dead Island be outlawed?

Borderlands meets ICO in the new Monster Hunter sequel.

How effeminate vampires could increase Duke Nukem Forever's popularity.

Should Battlefield be on rails?

Ugh, taking that goddamned key to Tunnel Man is a nightmare. I, for the life of me, cannot get luck to go my way at all.

Thank god for studios like grasshopper and platinum. Not that all of their games are the best ever, not to say other studios from japan don't hit it out of the park at times as well, but shit like this is why I have a huge soft spot for japanese games. I need me some strange.

I know exactly what you mean. When I was trying to take the key to tunnel man and was doing a good run the "I can't see a thing" used to drive me crazy!

I finally did it and I'm trying to reach the City of Gold myself now...

Best of luck, fellow Spelunker!!!
