Even beyond that I've funded a convention I plan to attend this summer through kickstarter and am waiting until funds become available to back Shroud Of The Avatar.

The Dead Island people got a mutilated womans torso into production and presented it to the world as a "cool thing", clearly without any sorts of alarms going off. they expected - and in some quarters got - applause. <br /><br />but sadly yes, it's not a uniquely geek or gaming culture problem. its just the context i've been stewing over it in this last couple of weeks.

The homophobia that crept out over the Judge Dredd 'gay' 2000AD issue was foul too.<br /><br />But it's not just geeks that are like that ... whenever I read comments threads on half the stories on the Guardian website, the casual abuse by posters of those they disagree with it appalls me.<br /><br />Those who savaged Professor Mary Beard after her Question Time appearance weren't geeks or gamers. They were just mainstream vile.<br /><br />So while [insert group]phobes in the gaming community certainly need to reflect on their conduct and learn to value others and show a bit of human decency even when they don't like something, I'm not entirely convinced that they are exceptional in their unacceptable behaviour.<br /><br />The sad fact is that the Internet has proven itself a petri dish in which some of the worst aspects of human unkindness can flourish. I'm hopeful that thyis is a sign of its infancy and it and the behaviour of those who use it will in due course mature.The Pindoctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304980382810379154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108709432182067151.post-29947306631229130042013-01-16T22:27:27.865+00:002013-01-16T22:27:27.865+00:00I would also recommend this to people - fans of ho...I would also recommend this to people - fans of horror or not - as long as you have seen some horror you will get it....Mavis Cruethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193144501899579868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108709432182067151.post-28014166522818560572013-01-15T20:02:24.152+00:002013-01-15T20:02:24.152+00:00Shhh, spoilers!Shhh, spoilers!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546836447177223646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108709432182067151.post-58698371159966703092013-01-15T19:04:25.184+00:002013-01-15T19:04:25.184+00:00I really enjoyed this film - and you've missed...I really enjoyed this film - and you've missed some of the references that this was a Joss Weadon movie and has some amusing Buffy/Angel cameos thrown in.

I ordered it to download to the DVR just before leaving my office at DISH, and it was ready to watch when I got home. I know you weren’t thrilled with the character design in ParaNorman, but I loved this movie, and I thought Laika did a great job with the animation. The 3D was spectacular. I also love the fact that my kids liked this movie too; it’s rare that we find a movie that the whole can watch AND enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108709432182067151.post-548461493543222362012-10-23T10:09:06.834+01:002012-10-23T10:09:06.834+01:00I just watched Chronicle - I was not that blown aw...I just watched Chronicle - I was not that blown away to be honest.

Too often games 'cinematic' these parts which while being pretty, get real dull real quick. Crisis 2 was least amongst the offending games but I would have preferred more control than I got. The bridge section was less awesome due to this.<br /><br />I can only add that one hopes Black Mesa, along with the multiple Game of the year success of Portal 2, will convince Valve to finish the Half-life story arc. The game. the fans and the success of Steam would merit it.Jayleonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740420712204598542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108709432182067151.post-15521143538713818712012-05-15T05:24:29.918+01:002012-05-15T05:24:29.918+01:00Nice review of 'A Scandal in Belgravia'.
