They shouldn't have to, I wasn't saying they should. I was responding to the comment "Also, people forget there's like, 10 different people writing for RPS.". I am not asserting a guilt by association argument or demanding a response "for shits an giggles". I am just pointing out my lack of awareness about anything they might have stated or implied in opposition to Walker, which a person could then logically determine whether or not a special consideration should even be applied to any remarks about RPS that notes that not everyone is approving of that specific editorial push. I assume that not everyone fits into the same exact mold as Walker, I don't feel the need to constantly mention that fact whenever a criticism is made about "RPS", because as a whole, that is what is being publicly represented, AFAIK.
I would think that the usual norm would apply and that editorials would represent the views of a site or news outlet as an institution, as determined through debate/discussion amongst the members of an editorial board/staff.
Condescend away.
I actually agree that most RPS staff probably agree with RPS' stance, and certainly hope they do as I personally believe it to be a worthwhile cause, and we can ascertain that they support it through the facts that at least one other editor is editing and approving of the articles going up on the site, and that though following a few of them on twitter just assessing that personally they all seem quite liberal(though this doesn't mean they necessarily support RPS having liberal content, but I would think they support it anyway). My first two questions were mostly to clarify what you meant as I was a bit confused as to whether you took issue with .
Where I actually disagree with you is on the initial post I replied to, where you imply through your generally flippant language and directly calling it shrill and intransigent, that you think it is, well, shrill and intransigent. I mainly dislike this attitude because it's this sort of desire to not discuss problems with the industry and culture of gaming that prevent gaming from becoming a more inclusive industry. Sure in the relatively mature fields of GAF actual overt sexism is not too much of a problem, but I'd put that down to solid moderation and the requisite private email account up the average use age, but there is a whole lot of complaining whenever topics such as feminism come up. It's very frustrating to see so many people predisposed to shutting out a movement which is at it's core beneficial to all.
This exasperation is not directly aimed at you, but rather an attitude you expressed. Maybe you perfectly understand the issues, but just don't care and would rather not have various critics bang on about various social issues in gaming, But I'd rather them hammer away until a spark is struck that just continue with casual sexism being a mainstay in gaming culture.
Because a discussion originated in the thread, and hey it's probably more on topic than half the posts in this thread, and besides, the sub discussions spawned are what make this thread interesting IMO.
...and Chivalry.

So Konami is asking to Microsoft and Sony to remove Skullgirls from the Xbox Live and PSN, could this affect to Steam too?

Thank you, I'll check it
Thank you bro!
Ohhh, you are right, that's why they'are looking for another publisher
Just sent you my votes. As I said in the PM, I have played very few 2013 games

Yeah, most of the great games I've played this year are from 2012.Just sent you my votes. As I said in the PM, I have played very few 2013 games
Same. I have a lot of catch up to do, also I've been replaying some others for the "PC Experience" like Sleeping Dogs.
2012 or earlier, in my case. Just coming up with 5 games released on Steam in 2013 that I played extensively and would put on a list like this is going to take some thought.

The best deals come after the year of release has passed. Like paying 10$ for the Far Cry 3 deluxe edition.
Pretend you're attending Balamb Garden and you're studying for a SeeD exam. ; )
(Okay, maybe I'm not helping. But I tried!)
Yeah, or 2011 (To the Moon and Super Mario 3D Land; haven't finished the latter yet), or 2010 (Puzzle Bots), or 2009 (Arkham Asylum), or 2001 (Deus Ex).
Thinking about it, it seems I haven't played many games in general this year...
I wish! I'm already on the second disc and tomorrow is my last day for finals, so I'm sure I'll have the game completed by the end of this week

I had to check my purchase history to make sure they are from 2013.
That's also the reason.

Too bad the game never actually delivers on the level that Giantbomb presented it as

Not exactly Steam related but not sure where else to ask....
Will I have any issues with 2 Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receivers on two separate PCs but next to each other? Will I have to worry about the signals messing up with each other?

Broke 2000, I'm coming to get you Xelios and JaseC...
... oh, wait, voting doesn't mean I own the games? Fuck.
I remember 2007. I almost bought a PS3 instead of upgrading my PC!

The final boss in Hotline Miami is some kind of next level of frustration.

There's a glitch spot behind him where's he's unable to shoot you.
I may not bother with swimming through the Greenlight pool, but I did pay the Submission Fee, which doubles as a charity donation, so ner.

It was and thank god it did because I'm having enough trouble coming up with a full list. I need all the good stuff I can get.
Yes. I was cracking up so hard when they ran over that car.

Yeah it can get pretty fraustrating. It took me over 30 attemtps before I finally managed it. Fortunately it's like 10 seconds long.
Or every large bot boss in Borderlands 2.

Good to know, i'll check it out tomorrow. I thought i was being trolled being insta-gibbed the second he stopped talking.
And here I was thinking I could finish off two games today!
Is there any other way to solo that game?
- Enter boss area
- Find place where you can't be hit
- Spray and Pray
Not that I know. Well, I used a corrosive sniper rifle, so it was more peek, pew, hide, repeat... but yeah, that was basically the last third of the game, which made it incredibly boring.

As somebody that used to drive a delivery truck I find it absolutely mind blowing that anyone would find a simulation of it fun. I called it work.
Or am I missing something and is it really not a simulator?

Not trying to dismiss or sidestep your comments, just noting that as I was typing my response it couldn't help but veer into issues best left to subject specific threads. I would be happy to continue this in a preexisting or new thread though.
You can mod the game like crazy and basically make it into a arcade truck game. The fact that you have internet radio in the game (and can add some more radio stations) is a nice thing as well

I did not glitch and solo'd my first playthrough, boss fights were painful to play.
I made the mistake of smashing through the Borderlands DLC just prior to the release of the sequel and consequently I grew tired of the game relatively quickly. The change of setting was nice for several hours, but eventually the monotony just became unbearable and I had to stop. I do plan on resuming my playthrough one day, though. Perhaps once Gearbox has stopped releasing crummy DLC... and after I've bought it all.
I think this is the first time you've used her actual name and not Jar-Jar.

Jar Jar?
Only 30? Sir I bow down to you. Having to reload that section over and over nearly drove me to uninstall the game

Speaking of Suarez, I actually heard someone actually say her name on TV. It was almost right
Or Scorsese, as she's known to friends.
