I haven't read every post in this thread, sorry if I'm just saying the same thing as somebody else.

"Humor is the great leveler, after all. It’s part of what makes us human, regardless of gender or race. If you can’t joke about a particular demographic, you’re basically saying that demographic isn’t equal. I don’t know about you, but I find that pretty terrible."

We've disproven this already, haven't we? We've gotten past this, right? Punching up and not down,"equal opportunity" comedy not working due to societal imbalances of power, we've had this conversation, no?

If he did get harassed (I haven't seen anything of it, he hasn't used that word himself-I'm not saying he hasn't, but we seem to be jumping the gun a tad), that's obviously going out of bounds, but it was a pretty shitty thing to post. I'm not "outraged," I've certainly seen more offensive jokes about this subject, I don't think this means he's a total asshole who hates trans people and we need to boycott him, but I hope he reflects and maybe apologizes, because it was a shitty joke.

And you're not going to convince me this isn't a shitty joke that is at least somewhat at the expense of the trans community. You're not going to convince me that Jenner is not at least one of the butts of this joke. You're not going to convince me that it was a total coincidence that the most well known trans woman right now happened to be the woman they compared Brett Michaels, a man, to in appearance.

And I think a lot of people are misusing Ron Johnson's recent stuff in this situation. What he covers are largely private figures, everyday folks who arbitrarily end up becoming symbols of various kinds of impression due to a mistake they made not thinking they were under the public eye. Troy Baker is a public figure. He is a guy we all knew from the headline, who is aware of the level of reach his comments have due to his career. It's a double-edged sword, it helps him financially but he needs watch himself in scenarios like this. He's aware of this, and that's what separates him from the Justine Sacco's of the world.

I feel like every aspiring dev who wants to make an open world should read this. My respect for the inFAMOUS series just doubled.

I wonder if there will be civilians in MGSV.

I prefer 3D platformers so much more. Theu give you worlds to explore, while 2D ones are about executing the timing on planned areas.

Moreso than with most other devs, I wait a while after release to see if there's any issues.

Exciting! Hopefully they'll be willing to take some chances since the Star Wars name is pretty much guaranteed sales.

This seems to be following the trajectory of Season 1, a slow first half that focuses on character development, with a little too much of an emphasis on placing obvious red herrings around. Episode 4 starts to speed up, ending on a hectic action scene. I'm guessing the next few episodes will both begin to break up the character's relationships and have the case closed, with the crimes being placed on the suspect killed in the shootout. The detectives reconcile and work to find the killer outside of the law, are able to get some small justice but not the most powerful players. Callin' it.

EDIT: Just saw the next time on, Ani says "Do you really think we cleared the Caspere case?" to an older looking Ray. THINGS ARE LOOKING UP FOR OL' DONUT

It was pretty clear when they became listed as contractors, and I'm sure the team will be fine, but yeah, still pretty sad that the name is dead.

For me, my issue is that the series worked so much better as an Metroid game than the generic open world game it's been since City. Arkham Asylum is one of the best games ever made, and I'm not sure than any of the sequels have even been in my top ten for the year.

I'll start with Birthright, if I'm down for more FE afterwards I'll play Conquest.

They Came Together.
