i got a job climbing a greasy poll once too but that was something else

Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

What is Morden doing in the Labour Party?

Or did he get elected?

@Dinh AaronMk

We're looking at a future PM, once he kills some of the right people and greases some of the right palms.

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

I do watch TWD. One of the shows I would probably have ignored on my own, but enough people I know watch it that I sort of feel like I should. The last few seasons have been rather good though.

The cliffhanger I think was cheap, but I don't think we'll know if it was bad writing or not until we see how they start off the next season.

Sacrificial Characters and Writing their Deaths

I try to avoid that just because I feel like, when you write a character knowing they are going to die, it'll sort of be obvious. I'm more into the method of writing a bunch of characters and killing them when it feels like the right thing to do.

You wanna know what the difference between cool people and not cool people is?

Cool kids don't need parents, because cool kids are always scrappy orphans.

He look, we are arguing about TV now, just like the internet is supposed to do.

THE WORLD IS FINALLY BURNING!

I'm afraid this won't shake as much shit as it should. Too many people sympathize with the wealthy and lack the gonads to stand up for themselves over these guys.

@Vilageidiotx Well if they are being paid, sure that's fine. But does it really hurt to mention that in the review? Say its paid promotion, is it really that hard? It's some very simple things that they wanted.

@SleepingSilence

Because we don't seem to like that sort of thing culturally. Paid promotions to us are commercials, so less people will pay attention (in theory at least). Paid advertisement websites aren't going to be looked at the same way that a review website is. It's just the nature of the platform really, and I don't see that changing.

<Snipped quote by Vilageidiotx>

When clicks bring ad revenue too there's not much that can be done except for totally avoiding them all together.

But at least with movie reviews I don't know if there's any cases - at least that I've heard - where film reviewers get paid off by MGM. But if Batman vs Superman is to suggest anything than a movie that can absolutely bomb in the reviews can still get picked up by the people who'll buy tickets.

@Dinh AaronMk

I've never heard of bribed movie reviews either. But I did allude to those guys having patronage from newspapers, putting them in what would be an all together more respectable place then the over-blown blogs that constitute most video game websites.

Another thing too, which I think makes the GG entirely unnecessary as far as subjects go, is that there are plenty of youtube vidja reviewers who do a way better job at cultivating a relationship with their viewers. Which is to say, IGN and Kotoku are kind of outmoded anyway really.
