Great article.

I loved the tid-bit regarding the Nuon...and, specifically, how it was developed by the same team as the Atari Jaguar. :lol: (It even launched with Tempest 3000!) Those guys just could not catch a break!

I don't know about game addiction, but that guy has an addiction to hyperbole and fallacies.

Much has been said about women and video games. This topic runs the full gamut from legitimate concern regarding stereotypes to Amazon feminism. Oftentimes such articles are specifically written to provoke reactionary bile from misogynists rather than to enlighten the audience.

Today I was delighted to find an article written from a neutral perspective with regard to video games, gender, marketing, and history. This includes a few words from Carol Shaw and Lori Cole.

:roll: maybe a less one sided article.

Also as a result I believe 4chan has gotten kotaku to remove Patricia Hernandez from staff. They have removed all of her articles from the last year.

A good piece on exactly where these "corruption problems" in the game industry actually exist.
