Prove very little and when published in a form like this prove even less. Sexual harassment and assault are highly politicized and in many cases overstated. When the mere accusation of sexual harassment in the form of making dongle jokes in a private conversation can end careers it's blatant sexism to claim it's not taken seriously enough. Sexism? yes: spreading fear that men are abusive and dangerous.

Ive personally never heard of a man in the games industry getting rape threats for having an opinion.

Death threats are every bit as common. Being a different gender means the hatred may be sexualized. "No rape threats against men" is a piss poor measure. How about coming up with some actual numbers reflecting the supposedly heightened hostility against women? Because no I won't take your word for it.

Many men believe women have no worth in the games industry beyond appearance.
The video game industry is particularly egregious at only representing women as sex objects. As such, many gamers are trained to only see women in that context.

Would you care to back that up with facts? A survey maybe? Because it sounds like you pulled it straight from whence many of your other claims come. One sexist asshole does not a culture make. There are many games with strongfemale characters. And don't say sexy clothes prove gamers are sexist unless you want to talk about the thousands of hulking, musclebound men in games.

This kind of harassment leaves long-lasting damage. It affects our friendships, and can cause us to be distant from others.

So your overly sensitive friend proves that the same hatred is worse when leveled against women? Equality means standing up for yourself. If you want to be a damsel in distress you don't want equality.

Women in the industry are told by men what is valid for us to feel.

No, women in general are told they're special and need everyone to cater to them. Then the gaming industry didn't cater as much garnering feminist ire. You can feel whatever you want but so can I.

This looks like a lot of fun (both building it and playing it), but it's been done before.

I've had a go at one of these in the local mall and they are great input devices when calibrated correctly.

I couldn't find much hard information online about its accuracy, but I did find this FAQ, which includes cheat codes to effortlessly max out the calorie counter.

"Enter "GLYCERINE" as a code, then press L1 for a nitro boost."

I had something similar happen to me this morning. Was looking for Cheat Code Central and typed in cheatcodecentral.com by mistake (forgot what the original domain was). AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny FAQ includes this and other nifty bits of info.
