It's Nothing Serious.

OP/ED: “Mr Laurie Croft” and the F-Word

Feminists and feminism have issues with the way games approach women. Some believe that a woman showing any amount of cleavage is a crime and further objectifies women while others feel it is an expression of liberated female sexuality. I suspect the whole issue would be far less of a problem if men were treated the same way.

It’s Nothing Serious: The Op/Ed Edition

You’ll notice I’ve changed the site around a little. The three column design was great for grabbing people’s attention on a daily basis, but now that I’ve scaled back on writing here and put most of my time into my column at The Escapist It doesn’t make sense chronologically to have  posts from different days all sharing the spotlight.

I thought I’d start again here with some older Op/Ed pieces I wrote and later add to this collection.

Scientists Shocked to Discover Girl on Internet

Typical 'girl' on the internet

Typical 'girl' on the internet

While (unsuccessfully) searching for intelligent life on the internet scientists have stumbled on what they believe to be signs of an alien beings known as ‘girls.’

Lead scientist and one time internet dating service user Carl Johnson said “For a long time we’ve been searching for signs of a female presence but until now all our data suggests that any women are actually 40 year old men from Milwaukee. Now that we have irrefutable evidence of the existence of ‘girls’ everything has changed.

A spokesman for PRIC (Patriarch’s Rational Internet Coalition) has demanded photographic evidence or it didn’t happen (lol).

Man Breaks up With World of Warcraft

You'll be back.

You'll be back.

James Shoemaker, a level 80 Death Knight recently broke up with his girlfriend of four years, World of Warcraft. In his letter to Warcraft he wrote,

“Dear Warcraft,

We’ve been here before, the boredom and frustration of the endless grind that is our relationship. I know you’ve tried to change, promising that you’ll eventually be happy with who you are and give me what I want.
I know you can never change. Every time I feel like I am getting close to you hurt me by nerfing my ability to experience the content that makes up your darkest nooks and deepest crannies. I know I’ve come back to you so many times, but this time it’s really over. No amount of content will make me content, plus I’ve found someone else named Halo. So don’t come around looking for me, promising 14 more free days. I am better off without you.”

Resident Evil Writers Consider “Racier” Sequel

Aye carumba!

Aye carumba!

Capcom is considering setting their next resident evil game in Texas. The snippets of plot we’ve heard suggest that the yet unnamed protagonist will hunt down infected Mexicans trying to cross the border.

Here in the office we’re laying odds on Capcom announcing a half-mexican side kick, with a seperate pool on whether or not she’ll be named ‘Maria Sanchez’.
