    But LA Noire is an adventure game with action sequences, not an action game with adventure sequences. Skipping the action in DA2 is like skipping the crime solving in Noire.

    The people who don't have the skill to operate a 360 pad or the time to learn are not going to play Mass Effect. A singleplayer scifi shooter has limited appeal compared to WoW, Sims, Mario or browser games, and it's a pipe dream to think you can somehow sell it to everyone.

    EAware thinks there's a magic formula that's going to get them WoW or Call of Duty sales figures.

    Then wouldn't anyone get attacked for saying something about gaming?

    I can't imagine why.

    VVVV It's a bunch of batshit crazy feminists who use video games as a platform for their agenda. They hardly play anything but BioWare games, for obvious reasons.

    Yeah, those other people aren't women with a job in Bioware, that long sought-after haven of virgin nerds everywhere, are they?

    I think it's something to do with transgendered something, possibly gaming. What snippets I've seen, it completely misses anything resembling a point.

    Fucking immature.

    Why don't some people learn not to post on forums they don't like?

    ------------------------------|

    If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you DING DONG BANNU can change the nature of a man. I’ve seen RINES move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from RINES. DING DONG BANNU damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek END OF RINE and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a DING DONG BANNU.

    :mca:

    (Yes, it's really immature to make fun of Stanley Woo like this, but I've actually been handed a DING DONG BANNU by him before. So :lol:)

    Really, people couldn't do better than make racial or ethnic remarks against a BioWare employee they don't like?

    It's certainly one step up the notch from merely making fun of their appearance or physique.

    Dushku looks like gipsy-tranny, so she don't get the role.Alyson Hannigan looks nerdy and Canadian enough my bet is on her.

    I never realized it before, but one of the leader writers for Human Revolution was a woman, Mary DeMarle. If this Hepler debacle is all about her being a woman, why doesn't anyone have a problem with DeMarle?

    I'm a chink myself and I thought it was funny, albeit a bit overdone. Stereotypes have their place in humour.

    It's the difference between crowing about GRORIOUS MODDU EDITO and calling Mr. Woo (or any other East Asian) a four-eyed tiny-dicked yellow-faced slanty-eyed power-hungry cum-guzzling gook who should've died in Hiroshima1.


    1. Disclaimer: This is in no way a personal attack on Mr. Woo, but rather an illustration of what I personally consider to be offensive racism.

    Good read, good read. I couldn't control myself and started laughing with the full voice in the office. Keep up the good work guys.

    1) Her writing - while by no means stellar - is leaps and bounds beyond the drivel Hepler cranks out.
    2) She hasn't gotten on a soapbox, claiming that any legitimate complaints about her work stem from people being jealous of her vagoo
    3) As far as I'm aware, she's concentrated on writing - her job - not making inane statements about gameplay decisions that should be left to the game designers. (Although recent products make me doubt the competence of biowares designers as well).

    Every type of humour becomes shit when mob-mentality kicks in, because it becomes harassment.

    I wonder if Mary Demarle wrote the Pritchard/Malik/Jensen bromance dialogues.

    Yeah. I was being rhetorical of course.

    There are many other women working as writers, but nobody seems to mind.

    Yeah,it looks like it's just a leftard who found the opportunity to attack gamers,the tea party,conservatives in general and everything else he doesn't like.I don't get why people around here like it,is it because it's in Forbes instead of a random blog or something?
