  1. Re:Media blackout on FBI Confirms Open Investigation Into Gamergate · · Score: 1

    So you are surprised that games manufacturers advertise on gaming journalism websites?

    No, that's not what it's about.

    You're welcome. Funny how my original comment is "off topic" in demanding proof. I guess the SJW's are out in force, since they can't dispute my statements.

    The FBI seems to think there is enough evidence to start an investigation.

    Really? It seems to me having read the original information on it, that there's information in some investigation, somewhere, with regards to gamergate. The original FOIA request was a blanket term for "gamergate" and if you think that qualifies as "gamergate did it" there's something seriously wrong in your reasoning.

    Nothing. This is just unadulterated clickbait.

    Welcome to modern media, or as "the media moves more towards gawker, vox, etal." Quality reporting at it's very finest.

    So at the end of the day, it still comes down to "no proof." Except what people in the media keep saying is "true" when again there is no proof. Amazing how that works these days isn't it.

    So I guess there's nothing in that article that offers proof. Rather it's "you have to take me at my word" huh? That's some pretty good listen and believe right there.

    The initial corruption turned out to not exist, so it's no wonder it wasn't reported on. After that the hate-train was already at top speed and it was too late to stop it.

    Really? Gamejournopros emails didn't exist, well damn. I guess that corruption didn't exist, all we have is your word on it after all. I guess that's why gamergate got the FTC to update their affiliate policies and link disclosure. You notice all these sites suddenly updating their privacy policies, and disclamers showing up with "ad affiliate links" among other things? You're welcome to thank gamergate now. Oh and the media guys reporting on things that are made by their friends, without disclosing that they've done so? I guess that corruption doesn't exist either.

    They threatened to shoot up a school if one of their targets was allowed to speak at a conference. That's most likely the only reason the FBI gives a shit.

    Really? Do you have proof of this? Right, you don't. Strange that your comment was modded informative. Anyone else remember when proof was required when someone was spouting bullshit. I guess "listen and believe" is a real thing for some people.

    Anything that calls itself an encyclopedia for the masses should aim as much to maintain a NPV. The problem is, NPV is long since dead especially with groups like "project feminism" injecting their political bias into everything from STEM to gaming.

    Well, Christianity is a peaceful religion too. Perhaps that explains the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition.

    Crusades are easy, that would be a response to 100 years of Muslim rape, slaughter, and forced conversion in Spain. The Spanish Inquisition gets interesting, because it was a direct result of that. Surprise right? You're dealing with an entire group of extremists that responded to extremists in kind. Then again, that's not what they teach in school anymore is it. Rather many paint it as "it was all the christians fault."

    Sorry that'd be muslims. Even here in Canada, half a dozen muslim groups came out stating muslims after the terrorist attacks. At least two groups posted something similar to this. Oh, of course they were attacked by...did you think muslims? Haha no, by elitists for putting "muslim" in there.

    That's why there were raids at 149 locations this morning in Australia too. It's only one...yep. And that's why if you go look at the studies on "who supports fundamentalism" and "jihad to install islam" you'll find that in western countries 8-25%(sometimes more) support the use of violence to do so, that includes suicide bombings.

    Islam is a peaceful religion, that's why followers just went out of their way to do this. And in Canada we had two terrorist attacks(one in Quebec), and another on Parliament Hill in two days.

    Yep that's why these guys aren't making any money at $50/bbl either right? Because it costs them so much money to pull it out of the ground. Interestingly enough, heavy crude pulling here in Canada from the oil sands is profitable down to $20/bbl, it's hovering at about $40/bbl right now. Light and medium is profitable down to $30/bbl in some cases, and newer techniques are driving the extraction cost even lower. And in the case of coal, it can be expensive...or cheap. Depending on the method that you're using to pull it out of the ground, here in Canada we mostly do strip mining for it. It's the easiest way, and companies by law have to restore the environment and have fund setup for it.

    Seagate discs for consumers have been pretty much bullet proof according to what I've been able to find.

    A lot of people, myself included remember when Seagate was so bad, so terrible and had such a poor reputation that it's stuck. That was ~12 years ago, hell it was 14-15 years ago that the entire company nearly went under because of their poor quality. They have gotten better, but even I remember factory sealed boxes(100 units) and every single one of them being dead out of the box.

    Well there anonymous, let me welcome you to #gamergate. You've just discovered that pretentious hipster trash is trying to do the same thing to gaming as well. Anyone notice that their actions "labeling someone as racist, sexist, and misogynistic" are also being done there? They also go attacking women and minorities in the movement labeling them as "braindead, puppets, etc."
