I already sold my 360. I'm done with consoles (with the exception of the Wii U, because Mario Kart, Smash Bros., Pikmin, Zelda, etc.)

If you mean "needed" as in "the current hardware is nigh obsolete and it wasn't even that good to begin with", then yes. They are very much needed.

If you mean "needed" as in "I want to play a superior version of these games!", then no. I have a PC.

What's all this extension and app talk? I just go to feedly.com and use it that way.

You have the app, which puts an icon on your apps drawer on Chrome's homescreen, and the extension, which puts an icon that links to Feedly in the navbar, next to the Settings icon. It seems that the extension doesn't show the number of unread feeds you have, though... It's a pity, but I think I'll stick with The Old Reader for the time being.

I'm trying Feedly, just to see how it compares to The Old Reader. The layout is definitely nicer, but does the Feedly (beta) extension for Chrome display in real time my unread feeds? Google Reader Notifier and the official The Old Reader extension do that, and it's extremely convenient for me. I like reading my feeds as they are updated, not waiting until a certain time to read them all together.

That was amazing. And the BABIES! SO. MANY. BABIES! Congrats to Ryan and Anna again!

PS: The photo with the "summer jams" says that Ryan's name is "Ryan Thomas Davis". And there was I, thinking he was actually called Ryan Taswell Davis. Derp.

That's not an apt analogy. "LGBT" is a term that includes several different sexual orientations. What you are proposing is that one illness ("psychopathy") contains another illness ("sociopathy"), as if the term "gay" included also "transgender", which obviously doesn't. If you were advocating for a "mental illness" page which included both "psychopathy" and "sociopathy", then it would be an OK analogy, though such term is not too suitable for a gaming wiki. Also, if you wanted to be clinically correct, the proper diagnosis would be "sociopathy", not "psychopathy".

Like I've said, "psychopathy" is often used to refer to both disorders, so in the page I'm proposing, the title "Psychopathy" is an umbrella covering two (arguably) different concepts, just as LGBT is an umbrella covering many different concepts.

But it doesn't have to be called "Psychopathy". "Antisocial Personality Disorder" would also be a fine title.

There is no such thing as a "psychopathy" from a clinical point of view. The correct (and clinically accepted) term is "sociopathy", though "psychopathy" has been used both distinctively and indistinctively to refer to sociopaths. The thing is, both wiki pages differentiate well-enough these terms and justify having two different pages for them. There's very little overlapping between the two.

Still, it's not an apt analogy. If you assume "LGBT" to be the umbrella term, then "mental disorder" or your proposed "Antisocial Personality Disorder" would be the analog you're looking for. But having a wiki page for the umbrella term does not invalidate the need to have different pages for the individual examples of its components. You should create a page that encompasses psychopathy, sociopathy and other personality disorders (kleptomania or compulsive lying, for example) and name it however you want. And you should also create individual pages for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual and generally non-cisgender characters too. Again, having a broad term does not mean we can't have the smaller ones too.

Seems fine to me to have both.

I would just like to hear an explanation of why it's fine. And why, in contrast, there's a catch-all LGBT page instead of separate pages for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transsexual (and any number of other terms that fall in that category)

That's not an apt analogy. "LGBT" is a term that includes several different sexual orientations. What you are proposing is that one illness ("psychopathy") contains another illness ("sociopathy"), as if the term "gay" included also "transgender", which obviously doesn't. If you were advocating for a "mental illness" page which included both "psychopathy" and "sociopathy", then it would be an OK analogy, though such term is not too suitable for a gaming wiki. Also, if you wanted to be clinically correct, the proper diagnosis would be "sociopathy", not "psychopathy".

The main difference I see on how both terms are used here in Giant Bomb (and I assume that's because they are used differently in the games mentioned) is that a psychopath has clearly lost all contact with reality, while a sociopath is fully aware of their anti-social behavior. A better option would be to change "psychopath" to "psychotic person" or "psychosis", but then again, Dead Rising does call the enemies "psychopaths".

I was going to disagree with you, but then I saw the totally underused macro and thought to myself: "Man, this guy means business. He surely can't be wrong!". The constant switching between bolded and normal text also proves your point without a shade of doubt.

So, yeah, you win, duder. I would give you the title of "Winner of Everything", but titles don't mean shit.
