a little bit of this:

Who fucking cares?

Some people had sex. One of them happened to be a reviewer, one of them happened to be a game developer. Big fucking deal.

This would have been over weeks ago if people just minded their own fucking business and weren't so fucking prudish.

So her game is on steam. That doesn't mean you have to buy it if you don't like it (or her.) Big fucking deal. There are thousands of games on Steam I don't want to buy. Her's is just another drop in the bucket.

some of that:

Wow! I guess it hadn't occurred to me to take gaming journalism seriously in the first place...

an there you go:
ohh unethical video game reviews, better get congress to start hearings. seriously who cares.

ugh. if you seen her clothed why the fuck would you want to see her naked?

as for the links they are trying to convey that you shouldn't pay attention to online reviews because they are fucking frauds. Well duh i think everyone knew that.

I actually kind of wonder what it's like to this new generation of gamers.

I grew up in the 80's and 90's, and back then to play multiplayer video games you had to make friends first then get together and play games.

Today you can just jump right in to multiplayer games at will. And there is no pressure to make & keep friends with the other people like we had to back then. Piss off someone online today, it's okay, because you've never met that person, never will interact with that person again. Jump into the next open public game.

We'd get Doom going with 3 or 4 people, and we were all good friends invited over to one's house. Goldeneye was the other massive game everyone played, but again, to play we all had to be friends and everyone had to learn how to get along with each other in order to have fun gaming.
