  1. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    It isn't surprising as much as it is me shouting "WHYYYYYYY" at my computer screen and wishing that Dyack would just fully sink into total and complete irrelevance.
  2. Destiny

    I added a new sheet to the Thumbs consolidated ID Google Sheets workbook, has everyone's PSN IDs if they posted them within the last year or if you're active in this thread - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zy3H7-ud_4b3yrUs-5lOanTBL7hKaVvjNDmJ8ys8CEM/edit?usp=sharing Feel free to add your name if you're left off.
  3. Destiny (MP)

    Added your link, Zeus. Also added the following to the OP, posting it separately for the thread bump. I removed the list of people and their platform IDs because it was out of date. In lieu of that, I created a new sheet in the Idle Thumbs Consolidated ID workbook specifically for Destiny players. I included anyone who has posted their ID in the last calendar year or is active in the main Destiny thread.

  4. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    According to Brianna Wu, Denis Dyack is screencapping private email conversations with other people in the industry and submitting them to Gamergate. Wtf?
  5. PS Vita

    Valkyria Chronicles 2, Metal Gear Acid 1/2 (if that counts), Disgaea series.
  6. Life

    I spend like 35% of my income on rent, it can get pretty tight some months.
  7. Destiny

    I played Destiny for an hour today. At 7am. So I guess I'm fully into the game now. I'm trying to wrap up the Dark Below missions and I've come to the strike. I actually just did the strike last night with CussedCayuse hosting, but I need to do it again for the quest (plus for an exotic weapon quest I just picked up). If anyone wants to run that strike for the weekly, hit me up at your leisure.
  8. I Had A Random Thought...

    Yeah, we're all about freedom land gold shipping oil freedom.
  9. I've seen tons of convincing arguments that say no gamer really needs a Core i7 chip unless they are running multiple displays are super high resolution. I wouldn't worry about bottlenecking at all.
  10. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    I think it's problematic for a number of reasons, including the ones you guys mention. The one that gets me is that it kinda equalizes the importance/impact of all those people and there are definitely some women there that have done some major, transformational stuff that will create real change and there are others who are more or less just aGG who retweet Storify-s and call out Nero/Slade Villena/etc regularly. It would be fine if it was a personal work of art that she posted on imgur and it got reshared like crazy, but by making this a Kickstarter it instills some (deserved or not) legitimacy and public voice that it wouldn't have otherwise.
  11. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    I want Janky Kong
  12. Show me your desk/gaming space

    Looks like a Razer Nostromo. It has a few rows of buttons analogous to WASD + adjacent, a d-pad type thing, and a joystick type thing if memory serves. Kinda like a dedicated gaming keyboard to accompany a regular keyboard.
  13. Destiny

    Actually, I'm not going to be able to get on for another hour or so. Apologies, but if you're still around I'll see you then.
  14. I Had A Random Thought...

    I work for a non-profit where I make so little money that Turbotax recommended that I apply for food stamps. I filed separately from my wife this year so they didn't have the whole picture, but it was still symbolic. They regularly send me mail asking me to spend $75 for tickets to a fundraiser or to make "my annual donation" to help all these people in need who I am actually intimately familiar with.
  15. Wouldn't want to exact the grueling toll of properly animating a woman.
  16. Is it really rumored? I saw so many people talk about her being playable like it was for sure, 100% locked up. Also, I would totally play an Assassin's Creed set in The Syndicate universe.
  17. I Had a Random Thought (About Video Games)

    Am I good if I still don't know what Leeeeeroy Jenkins is after 10 years of existence?
  18. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Destiny (PS4) is $19.99 + tax at Gamefly right now. If you don't knew the schtick with Gamefly, they sell retired rental games in good condition (often I don't even see any notable scratches, they're being sold because demand is down) and the case + manual + any included codes are in mint condition - https://www.gamefly.com/#!/game/Destiny/5007736 Buy the game and join us! It seems like Destiny is enjoying a bit of a renaissance with the upcoming expansion on the horizon. Also, less personally recommendable but still notable - AC: Unity (PS4) for $12.99, Lords of the Fallen (PS4) for $17.99, and Alien: Isolation (PS4) for $14.99.
  19. Consolidated ID Exchange

    Done. Open to any other suggestions. Also added a column yesterday for what people are interested in playing.
  20. Destiny

    No no no, there is some clan functionality. That is if you count trophies for doing stuff as a clan as "functionality".
  21. Life

    The fake American flag and "retards" crack really tie everything together. Man, what a piece of garbage.
  22. Yeah, I have no idea. If I ever buy another one of those keyboards, I'll probably just buy an expensive one and hope that it magically solves the problem through cost of materials. That K820 looks pretty slick in comparison to the K400, no idea if appearance indicates any better quality. I think I might get this thing if it ever comes out and isn't ludicrously expensive - http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-controllers/razer-turret
  23. Destiny

    Anyone want to do the weekly strike tonight? I'll probably be hopping on around 6pm EDT to start playing, hit me up.
