I'm horrified at the thought of someone drinking Mountain Dew to begin with, let alone drinking Doritos.


I love it how the bag says: "COLLECTOR'S ITEM - NOT FOR CONSUMPTION". A sneaky attempt to kill dirty colsole scrubs? One can only hope.


So then...does it actually contain chips? I mean, if it does and it's not for consumption, what's the point? Is missing stale chips in a bag going to effect the quality of the collector's item?

Woman plans to make a game about abortion clinic hijinks, can't BELIEVE people on the internet respond in a myriad of emotional ways!

http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/Carl...me_Thoughts_on_Making_a_Very_Serious_Game.php

About a year ago, the news cycle had come around to the abortion access debate again, and something about the rhetoric of “choosing” presented as if the particular choice of whether or not to continue a pregnancy was equal for all women struck me as particularly strange. Those seeking abortion have their choices shaped by factors ranging from where they live to how much money they have to the hours at the local clinic – if there even is such a place. The number of factors at play reminded me of the character building process in many roleplaying games. And, so, the seed of an idea took hold: What if there was a roleplaying game about abortion access?

BRILLIANT!

You know, this image got me thinking.

If aping Movies is a good way to advance videogames. Then one can be only optmistic about the hobby - raping old franchises for ideas has become a true art amongst the likes of EA.

If it actually focuses on the systems behind clinics and population and stuff, I can see it being a cool game.

It's possibly interesting, but there is a colossal amount of naivete going on when you're reacting that way to an emotional response to such an idea.

Ministry of economy? Is my tax potatogold going into promoting popamole now?

:rage:
Developing Polish game industry is extremely important to countermeasure the leeching of Polish potato by the West. We must be able to both provide Polish alternative to Western games and leech on Western gamers.
It's an economic War.

Well I didn't think the author of that article was very cross about anything, but I guess acknowledging negative emotional response to something that's going to be immediately controversial because of old white people is a failing.

Ignoring your political bait, the point was the entire thing could have been easily predicted, it wasn't some discovery that people react emotionally to highly emotional and divisive issues online.

Naw, Dewritos is when you dissolve your Doritos in a glass of Mountain Dew so you don't get that orange shit on your controller.

'I am by no means trying to make fun of or express defamation towards Mountain Dew, Doritos, subsidiaries or associates. In fact, I have a Mountain Dew tattoo, a Gears of War tattoo, sandals and a faux Dane Cook hairdo.'
