A few final things before I take off... Thursday, while you're right that leaving the site doesn't have to equal leaving the forum, I don't really have the same time I used to spend here. I have a site, a full course load, a club, and a group of friends nearby that I'm morally obligated to check in with every week or so. I could have just stayed silent and avoided turning this into a big deal, but then I would be tempted to return here. And keeping up with forum topics is so much more time-invasive than direct communication through a place like Steam. Waldorf, you're right, there ARE a few other reasons, but I don't feel comfortable talking about them at this time because I don't like to talk shit about people. I might talk about it privately if you ask nicely, but I'm not interested in defecating on the carpet before I go outside. Dean: We have the desire to start our own thing because it gives us the most control over what we can do. I know that may sound confusing because you were more open than a lot of site owners, but we have our reasons. Everyone: I'm sorry if this came across as melodramatic, but I really have to move on and this seemed like the most sensible way to do it. If you want to stay in contact look for me on Steam (thecheese33 is my Steam ID). You can also find me on Twitter (@jbu3). Thanks for the well-wishes, and for making this forum a pretty awesome place to hang out. And that's everything. Bye.

I'm participating in one last thread. You can find it here. http://forum.pressxordie.com/topic/1872-a-statement-from-duke/

So, I wasn't really planning on saying anything, but people have been asking, and I want to set the record straight. Yes, I left Press X or Die. I left because of creative differences. No, the reasons don't boil down to "Six and Dean yelled at each other on Twitter." I've felt like this was a necessary step to take for a while, and while that particular conversation was a factor, it was far from the reason. No, the discussion isn't as clear-cut as "this person was wrong and this person was right." There was a lot more to it, but all I'll say is that it was a stupid debate that should have never happened, and that everyone in it was at fault in a way. That includes myself. Six and I ARE starting our own site. No, it is not an attempt to poach X-Talk users or even Press X or Die readers. We just decided we wanted our own thing. We want our own name, our own rules, our own format... we want to try out some exciting things that Press X or Die couldn't let us do. I'll stick around here for a bit to field questions, but after that I'm gone. It's been nice spending time with you all, and I'm sure I'll see most of you on Steam, PSN or some other place.

So about the allegations of the West chemically sterilizing or infecting with serious diseases in Africa via the aid-workers or whoever...
Holy shit, such a huge thing to cite in favor of those allegations.
-
Yep. Never trust a government. The mis-use of The Patriot Act is a good example of how a government can act when not properly checked. They fuck the 4th Amendment right in the ass!

What are you listening to now?

That Dead Island figure is pretty gross, and pretty shameful. Even worse is they're getting a bunch of publicity for doing something despicable.

To me, its just so god damn gross to look at. The big bone coming out of the neck.....blergh.
I guess the bust looks like an attractive purchase in game stores? Like facing directly out in the packaging.
-
If anything it's the low quality that offends me.
-
Eh. The only offensive and shameful thing about it is how tacky its going to look in someone's living room/bedroom. Who would own something so lame?
-
Count me in!

An Ouya competitor? Who would want to compete for a nonexistent market?

The Trailer Thread
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee replied to TheForgetfulBrain's topic in Entertainment Exchange
It got great reviews, if I recall. Also, Takashi Miike is an incredible director, even if this isn't exactly his usual sort of movie. -
Published my first article of the year (and in at least 6 months). Feels good, man.

Last Crap Movie You Saw
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee replied to Yantelope's topic in Entertainment Exchange
Les Miserables. It's a disaster. Awful staging, awful cinematography, sub-par singing, and the source material itself isn't very good to begin with. Oh yeah, and Jack Reacher. -
PXOD writers, assemble! I've posted a draft to GDocs. Needs your critical eye ASAP.
-
Technically with the Writers Board we shouldn't need to do this anymore.

Games You've Beat in 2013
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee replied to TheMightyEthan's topic in General Gaming Chat
I beat Assassin's Creed III on January 1. Probably the worst way to begin any year. What a piece of shit. -
Started to dig into Persona 4 Golden two days ago. Fallen in love with P4 all over again...

Once he maxes out his social link with you, then you can see other people.
-
Papa P4, why does mommy Thorgi have to live somewhere else :c ?
-
Motherboard Thorgi has an AM3 socket. She's not compatible with P4, or any other Pentium processor.
-
Man, Miiverse during Christmas time is pretty adorable. I'm seeing "Merry Christmas" in several languages and a bunch of holiday doodles. Made me crack a smile.
-
ZombiU is like Dark Souls, but good. Don't think I've had this much fun with a zombie game in a while...
-
Add me on Nintendo Network. I'm Thorgi.

That NRA press conference was fucking horrifying. We need to do our best to make sure assclowns like LaPierre are kept from positions of power.

Here's some Harvard research
-
Interesting study. Doesn't surprise me.
I bet a majority of those guns used in homes to intimidate others are probably hand guns.
Not saying we should band hand guns...or that we shouldn't band ARs...just saying for the sake of saying.
-
TIL we have an NRA too. They've basically been wound down to just looking after target shooting and bore rifles. I think they may be scaring the US NRA and what the future may hold for them.

Hooking up my desktop to the first floor TV was a stroke of genius. Piloting a giant mech has never been so immersive! Winter breaking in style...
-
Ugh, the Fuse trailer looks so bland. I sound like a broken record, but they really made a mistake when they dropped the over-the-top, cartoony style.

I concur. They should have kept it the way it was.
-
-
I agree it looks a lot more generic with it's new art style, but I'll probably still enjoy it.
-
Once I was Duke, but now I am Thorgi. (Thanks for the suggestion Waldorf).

Why not Duke Thorgi?.....DUKE.

SEGA gets a bad rap. They've published some amazing games this (and technically next, since we're on the Wii U now) generation! They've also published some heinous ones but hey, everyone has.
-
They made Zaxxon into Temple Run in Space ;_;

27 people killed in an elementary school. 18 were children. I'm not asking for gun control. I'm asking that people have a conversation about this, stop trying to push it under the rug. If we don't discuss this and think of something, it'll keep happening.

No test will stop people from getting a gun. There's a black market for guns just like there are for drugs. If you want either you can get them.
-
I can't believe 2 Elementary School attacks happened in one day. At least no one died in the first, although it's going to be incredibly tough for the children effected.
-
Yeah, the only thing gun regulation can stop are the situations where a generally law abiding person gets pissed, grabs their legally owned gun and kills someone. If someone really wants a gun for a specific purpose, and puts forethought into it, they're always going to be able to get one.
-
That would make sense if there wasn't a new generation of consoles coming up. Now is the perfect time to launch this. I guess the question is whether they can release it in time to take advantage of the market.

Whoa, 31x34 is a crazy size. You twig. My 30x34 jeans are too wide for me.
