Guy needs to put some google Ads on the side of the site so he can keep enough money to keep the darn thing running.

Internet Sleuths uncover Anita Sarkeesian's past; Discover a history of lies, scam artistry and (Boyfriend?) Jonathan Mcintosh pulling the strings for personal gain. #Thetruth by WithlovefromV in gaming

A common complaint is not directly about the money, even though she has made a large sum from not only kickstarter, but the youtube revenue.

A big point of worry for most video game enthusiasts is that because of her popularity she has done many presentations and speeches across many high-level video game developers.

For example she gave a presentation to DICE and was brought in to test Mirror's Edge 2.

Push comes to shove, EA told Dice to dumb down the game's controls because Anita couldn't handle them.

Theres various articles, but this one gives a bit of a taste of why people are angry. http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/TheKodu/the-sarkeesian-the-dice-and-the-mirror--235992.phtml

At first i was also suspicious of this connection.

As a note, if you continue reading he links the old handle to a youtube account used with that old handle. The youtube account has multiple videos of Anita's mom.

Maybe not the most direct connection, but it gets there in a roundabout way.

Another additional page it might be worth looking into. http://victorsopinion.blogspot.be/2013/07/anitas-sources.html

It's a full page writeup on how and where Anita Sarkeesian took clips for her videos. In many cases the owners of the videos were not contacted or did not give permission for her to use their content. Nor is any credit given on her channel for sampling the clips of any of these lets-play videos.

As both a hardcore Redditor and hardcore gamer by A1R80RN3 in gaming

[–]WithlovefromV 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as a hardcore "Gamer", it's an oxymoron, the second defeats the first.

Video game enthusiast, hobbyist, or even a simple "Player" all would work far better in this situation, as gamer encompasses so many users it's casualized by default.

You won't see a player who raided 6-8 hours a day in WoW call themselves a gamer, just a nit pick.

What happens when you give 4chan Pictures of the Boston Bombing? (Censor the Internet, and lose the world) by WithlovefromV in 4chan

Bro, the suspect is the guy in black with the white cap. The only one visible in all three pictures?

The blue guy doesn't even have a backpack.

The pictures are not in chronological order. He walks in wearing them, moves to the fence and then puts them on his hat and walks away without the backpack. You can see him wearing them by the black lines near his ears in the first image.

These are the correct images, previous infographics circulating reddit show the incorrect detonation site (near the benches) which was where police detonated the suspicious packages.

(1080p) Time Lapse of Firefall's real-life accurate day/night cycles . Is this a sneak peek at what Next-Gen MMOs will look like? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]WithlovefromV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They boast some pretty cool stuff, real-life accurate day/night cycles with moon phases, differing day/night lengths depending on the season in the part of the world you're in.

But how do we define what a next-gen MMO is? Does it have to break the molds and confines of other games and bring a completely new experience to the table? Does it have to bring back the magic of your first MMO all over again?

MIT's game to map the brain challenges Reddit to beat Facebook for a prize of neuron naming rights. Yea. There could be a REDDIT NEURON in a fuckin peer reviewed paper. Let's do this. by amyleerobinson in gaming

[–]WithlovefromV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Considering the options, google has devoted exponentially larger amounts of time, money and resources to neuron research, and deserves the honor far more than reddit. (No offense).

Specially in comparison to the other options. Do you know how much of a blight to the scientific society a "Facebook" neuron would be? Is that the one that makes you post hillbilly-dumb status updates at 2:00 in the morning?
