PS3 here. I don't pay for Xbox Live gold anymore and there is no way this game is going to fit on one DVD anyway.

All I can think is "Stop it! You're going to wear out your hinge!"

To be fair, Gabe does seem better recently about starting shit with people, the transgender thing being an exception (although I have to admit I hate being called "a cis male," even if it's technically accurate). This renewed dickwolves thing seems to be based on a misunderstanding because he didn't explain himself very well at PAX. Now he has explained himself on the site proper, and everyone should just let the dickwolf thing die once and for all.

I'm not saying that rape isn't a problem, even in the US. We all remember Steubenville, I'm sure. However, rape culture is a blanket statement that was adopted to condemn America as a whole in the 1970s and should never be used in a serious discussion in this day and age. It oversimplifies the matter in a way that makes people not even care when they hear it because it's frequently been used by histrionic people who blow things out of proportion. If rape and people's response to it has become an issue somewhere, find a more articulate way to speak against it than by using bumper sticker slogans. The general public does not listen to or care about those. So yes, I'd still say rape culture as a phrase is meaningless at best and harmful at worst. The more obnoxious you are in spreading your message, the more quickly it'll be ignored. To get back on the subject of Penny Arcade, they actually DID receive well-written, thoughtful responses from some people that made Gabe reconsider his actions. If you actually take the time to put effort into the words you use, you can be a lot more persuasive (or at least respectable) than you would ever be by using arguments like "rape culture" or "socialism" or "gun grabber." But now I'm veering off into a much bigger issue.

I feel like the dickwolves thing got blown WAY out of proportion. I personally found that particular comic pretty funny, and even if you didn't...so what? They didn't draw an actual rape. They didn't even refer to a person raping another person. It was a person being raped by a wolf made out of dicks. Unless you think dicks in general are offensive, in which case you shouldn't even be on Penny Arcade, then there's really nothing there that pertains to you or promotes "rape culture." Even the follow-up strip seemed like a pretty tame response. Social justice warriors on the internet will just grab onto any hanging threads they can get when they want to start a crusade (not talking about you, Thursday). That said, they did end up going pretty far out of their way after the fact to rustle people's jimmies. I won't pretend that it wasn't a dumb thing to do. Even Gabe recently acknowledged that he should have just let it go. On another note, fuck anybody who uses the phrase rape culture and actually means it. It's a stupid phrase and you are doing more harm than good to your message, if you even have one, every time those two meaningless buzzwords fall out of your empty skull.

I've gone back to The Binding of Isaac because I'm trying to unlock the polaroid so I can get the true ending but GOD DAMN IT IS IT HARD.

Gold Majora's Mask is worth about 75 dollars if you still have the box and paperwork. If it says "Not for resale" on it then it's worth the same amount by itself.

I own the following, all of them with their original boxes and documents: Valkyrie Profile (PS1, $85) Mega Man 5 (Game Boy, $435) Ocarina of Time Gold Cartridge (N64, $70) Kirby's Dream Land 3 (SNES, $120) Kirby Super Star (SNES, $130)

These are more uncommon than rare, and it's only uncommon in the states, but I own Jump Superstars and Jump Ultimate Stars for the DS. I also own a complete boxed copy of Harvest Moon on the SNES, which seems to be going for anywhere from 300 to 500 dollars on eBay.

This is just something I'm curious about. Does anyone here own any rare or valuable games, be they vintage or modern? Is there anything in your collection that you would like to boast about? If you own vintage consoles or hardware, that counts too. Really, anything that would get an inflated resale price on ebay can probably go here, excluding new consoles.

Welp, I donated 20 bucks, which means I'll get a copy when it's released. Now we play the waiting game.

River City Ransom 2!

I burned my hand once by (stupidly) touching a lawnmower for about two seconds and that mother was in nonstop agony for days. Burns are a real bitch.

I'm banking on your spoilered theory. Something definitely has to change because for a guy who is supposed to be humanity's last hope he sure hasn't been doing much lately to make people optimistic.

God damn, this episode ended on probably the most agonizing cliffhanger in the show's entire history.

I would've probably put Captain America in the number 2 spot myself. I still really liked Iron Man 3 but you-know-what still gets under my skin even though I try not to let it.

Fourth degree burns are a thing?

A dev at PAX has said that the Dualshock 4 can be used natively as a PC controller, and demonstrated it for the dev build of his PC game.

Why Loki actually won in The Avengers.
