It's been roughly one week since THQ Nordic GmbH decided to do an AMA on 8chan, a site that is best known for allegations that they host and link to suspected child pornography, a site that contains rampant racism, a site that engages in harassment campaigns, and a site that engages in doxxing. These are just a few of their most notable "issues." Again, it's a place where people go when even 4chan thinks they're too fucked up.

It took THQ Nordic over 15 hours to remove the link to 8chan from their Twitter timeline. That's 15 hours that a game publisher left up a...

I don't remember history being this buggy.
If there is one area that video games come up short in, it's when they attempt to tackle real-life history. Specifically, games come up well short in being historically accurate without also including a healthy dose of embellishment or suspension of disbelief. In nearly all of the games that focus on real-world history, you almost always play as some overpowered jack-of-all-trades. Yes, this includes games and franchises such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, Total War, Civilization, and even Assassin's Creed.

Thankfully, we have a game like Kingdom Come: Deliverance that comes along to not only embrace the idea of a "historically accurate" game but to completely redefine what the genre should be striving to achieve.

You start out as a nobody named...

Earlier today, the FBI released their report on the investigation into GamerGate. If nothing else, this should remove any remaining doubt that GamerGate began as a harassment campaign chiefly against women in the gaming industry, then against women in general, and then eventually against pretty much anybody that wasn't a straight, white male (though even they weren't excluded). The report is 173 pages long and contains all matter of threats, ranging from emails to tweets. It also includes various correspondence between the victims and the investigators. There is also a lot of information that has been redacted from public view. Some examples can be seen be...

As part of a recent TED Talk about the abuse of women online, actor Ashley Judd dedicated a segment of her 15 minute talk towards the hypocrisy of the gaming industry. She began by talking about the abuse she endures every day online simply for being a woman. She explained the effects the abuse has had on her and offered up insight on the trauma many women endure every day online. Judd says that she has periodically been the target of a "cyber mob" that has sent her countless rape and death threats. It has gotten to the point where she had to get someone to go through and scrub her feed for her so she doesn't have to read it herself. This is when she ...
