  • Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Not Playable at Tokyo Game Show but New Stage Presentation is Expected

    Sadly, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will not be playable at the Tokyo Game Show 2014. That's the bad news. The good news is that Kojima and Konami will show off a new video during special stage shows while TGS 2014 is going on.

    Even better is the fact that a Konami rep posted on NeoGAF that the trailer will not focus on Afghanistan as most of the previously trailers have.

    Zoe Quinn Exposes #GamerGate to Actually be About Harassment and Misogyny

    Overnight, Zoe Quinn provided a wealth of proof showing that many of those persons participating in the #GamerGate "movement" were completely misled about its intentions and true motives. Many that jumped on to the #GamerGate wagon believed that they were fighting only for journalistic integrity in the gaming industry. On any other day, that would be a great cause that most people would probably get behind. However, there were some who had their doubts and said that #GamerGate wasn't about journalistic...
