I think he meant you were going to place the image spoiler tags.

The file itself isn't really all that big, but yeah that's the gist of it.

Ah yeah. That one isn't terrible. Not gassing up the chainsaw this time.

Vintage computing and gaming has a link to the first major console..... taken apart!

Its been quite some years since I've seen one and I've known about this system. I've never seen a complete one before. I've also seen pieces of it, and now I know what they are in case I find some again.

quite informative!

A link to US (and some euro) Konami NES box art.

All of their late 80's releases and their similar look.

ME GUSTA!

The BBC covers sexual harassment and abusive language against women gamers... I know we talked about this before, but man, it's sad to see it so prevalent with little to no action taken by anyone.

There's absolutedly nothing that can be done to stop harassment through internet means other than saying, "hey, you are a douchebag" and banning them from the server, which can't happen if players can't control their own servers, which simply makes the 13 year olds group together in shitty, unregulated servers.

It's not exclusive to women, either, they just have an easy way to being picked upon. Racism and being a douchebag in general is everywhere in the internet and multiplayer videogames are on it.

Great, then the civilized can remain unharassed.

There's a bit of a difference between assholery in general and groups of people continually and consistently being targeted. I'll agree that racism is also huge still, although I hadn't heard much about it in relation to games. Now if you were to go to 4chan, that's a different story...

There's a problem: Newbies will have to play on shitty servers until they find good ones by chance and manage to stay there without getting murdered by the more experienced players that populate them.

I'm just cynic, I think Xbox live is pretty much like 4chan

Now seriously, in my experience, most people who harass women in internet games are just douchebags, they don't even have a sexist agenda, all they care about is trolling and enlarging their e-penis.
