Drugging the drinks of children. Wild stuff.
wait, he just walked it off? I'm pretty sure if I got drugged I'd go to the freaking hospital. Of course GAF doesn't do that either and just makes a thread instead.

Absolutely disgusting. At an industry event no less. I suppose in any event where there is alcohol, there are opportunists lying in wait. It shouldn't come as any surprise but it is never an easier pill to swallow when you hear about it.
And to people who lash out at real victims or even unintentional victims: saying "shame on you" is an incredible understatement. Fuck off.

That's just it, they don't "need" to do this. They're doing it because they want to.
I mean the point of drugging someone is to impair their judgment and knock them out. You're not going to get a whole lot of rational decision making done while roofied.
I don't know, not me.

Incivility, even towards jerks, can get you banned. It happens unfortunately all too often when someone gets too mad at another person for backwards views/bad statements and ends up being the banned one.
And you would be wrong.
That mixup occurs with people with no/little drinking experience. It's very easy for someone to know the difference once they know what heavy drinking feels like to them.
where did you get this information because it's ... it's bad information

Then you don't know very much.
It's very very different. Specifically for me, whatever I got dosed with gave me prisoner syndrome and I couldn't communicate for help or even move on my own.
yeah sorry I meant after the fact. Could have been anything in there I wouldn't want to take chances even after feeling 'better'. I guess we have enough threads about people being incredulous about americans not going to see a doctor but still I hope he got checked out.
Rape culture is real, and it's a particular problem in the gaming industry. I mean, look at all of the bans that happened on NeoGAF this week because of perverts--that one guy in particular in the E3 cringe thread, ugh. A woman was wearing a pretty conservative t-shirt and he went on a deranged rant about how she was "exposing" herself.
Are you kidding me? Having illicit drugs in your system is completely different from getting too drunk. They are designed to incapacitate you as soon as possible.

Oh yeah I gotcha. Yeah hopefully, it would be bad to have some delayed reaction to it or something.

They aren't btw. I instantly put anyone who jokes about rape on ignore list, it is never funny.

Wow, fuck these scumbags. Way to sour a fun event with this shit.
That sounds terrifying.
The Wikipedia on "Data Rape Drug" references a 2009 study:
"Results: Of the 97 alleged drink spiking cases included, there were only 9 plausible cases. We did not identify a single case where a sedative drug was likely to have been illegally placed in a drink in a pub or nightclub. "

My sister was drugged when I was a teenager. She was lucky in that it must have happened not long before she'd left the club, and she'd been dropped home that night by a friend before the drug had even kicked in properly. Even by next day she was completely unable to speak, and could barely walk. When I was old enough to go out on my own, her experience certainly made me completely neurotic about keeping an eye on my drinks+anyone I was out with, or buying new ones instead. Hyper-vigilance, such fun.
I remember it being horrifying to watch, I can't imagine what it must have been like to go through that. I'm so sorry.

Bright side is no one died. You could have a bad reaction, you can roam around blacked out and get hit by a car etc. So many things can happen.

Do you feel that's an accurate and charitable summary of the section you read?

Have you ever been drunk before? Because that's not really true at all
What are you asking?
No problem man. I can't even imagine what it would be like to experience something like that. Hope all is well.

Can't say I'm surprised. When you've got people using VR to blow and hump each other, and groping girls at events, it's pretty clear you're dealing with a group that's desperate and pathetic.
Makes me sick.

The wording had me slightly confused, another poster provided a valid answer, that is all.
Jeez, wtf?!
And multiple people got drugged? I wonder if it was just one stupid individual drugging as many drinks as possible in hopes of drugging one girl or there were other scumbags attempting the same thing. ugh...really hope they somehow manage to catch whoever was responsible.

Well this thread is about as expected. Random victim blaming and dismissiveness under guise of concern for the reputation of The Gaming Industry.
patched up some loose ends for you, there.
'As far as I know'
Have you ever been drunk before? Being on drugs is completely different and you would be able to know something is wrong.

Well, shitty people doing shitty things doesn't astound me, but it does sour an otherwise wonderful event like E3.
The game industry's filled with shitty people, so it's no surprise.

If you got banned for fairly tame remarks like that, half of GAF would be banned lol

Milo is one of the worst people on the web. He's like some demon that shows up to feed on darkness and human suffering.
Milo didn't apologize for his shoddy and irresponsible writing after the Shaun King race hit piece. He's an unrepentant bastard through and through.
That's giving him too much credit. He's just a loudmouthed shitbag.

It's almost unimaginable what a self promoting shitbag he is. This week he had a speech in Orlando to smear Muslims and complain about Twitter briefly suspending him.
anyway I don't want to distract from how horrible the actual situation here is but yeah fuck that guy

I'd say it's almost certain there were multiple people. I don't know how common this is in the US but in the UK this has been a problem for a long time and was at one time at least disturbingly common. Given the thousands attending, just one person seems a low estimate.

That really sucks.
On an unrelated note, his name is "Will Powers"? Like in phoenix wright??? How have I not heard of him before
