I've made some of my best friends from online games :heart-full: I wish gaming could just be about that again.. feels like it's been forever.

It never stopped being about that.

Recently, in Warframe, me and 3 randoms were trying to farm a boss for materials, and one of the players, a gigantic asshole, ran ahead of us and pitched a complete bitch-fit when we weren't fast enough to keep up with him. When we did the mission again, apparently me, and the other 2 players thought the exact same thing at the exact same time:

All three of us started crouch-walking around the player in question in concentric circles.

We then proceeded to crouch-walk through the entire mission.

And then to add a further alien strangeness to the event, I somehow got a Zanuka Shade, but whatever.

Long and short of it, we all laughed like idiots and had a great time. Both Avey and Pillow are now on my friends list. :P
 
I'm going to share one of my favorite WoW memories and then go to bed.

I was playing my nelf shadow priest and my friend and I were messing with some low level blood elves. I would use a dot spell on one of the elves, then mind control them and use a healing spell, which would stop the dot spell from killing them. Basically I just kept them close to death and prevented them from running away with mind control. This went on for maybe five minutes, not very long. Afterward I felt kinda shitty for doing that. I'm usually a horde player, but my friend and I migrated to alliance when we joined a new server.

Anyway, my friend went to bed and I decided to do something good to balance out my karma. So I rode to the tauren starting zone, cuz I fucking love taurens and remembered the early quests really well, and found a new player, like level 5. The way xp worked was that if you weren't in the other player's party, whoever did damage first would get all the xp when the mob died. So I started following this new player around, planting my dot attack on mobs the tauren player had shot with his bow. I followed him around doing this for hours, helping him get xp and protecting him from the more dangerous mobs.

I was alliance. He was horde. We could not communicate through chat, as the game imposed a language barrier. But he understood that I was helping him. It didn't take long to gain his trust. We ran all over the starting zone all night and I helped him do his quests. He seemed really happy for the assistance. Eventually some higher level horde player showed up and chased me off, but I felt like I'd done a good thing. Whoever that level 5 tauren was I hope he looks back on that memory just as fondly as I do.

Someone beat me to the punch, blast it all! XD But the spiderwebs stretch farther than we could have ever anticipated, it's altogether both scary AND exhilarating the deeper we comb this shit!
 
The level of smuggery, arrogance, and disconnect in some of these people is almost a little too out of touch to believe. They have the GALL to call us gamers toxic, when they're acting borderline Nurgle's Asscrack.
 
Wow, I'm actually truly amazed that IGN has had nothing do to with all this talk about corruption in games journalism. Like holy shit, are we in Bizarro World?

I mean, a few weeks ago everybody was making fun of gaming journalism for this crap:

Where did things go so wrong?

God, I hope IGN is clear of this. One of my current favorite comedians writes there and it'll kill me if it turns out he is also banging Zoe.

Zoe confirmed the final boss of video game journalism, a death snatch that swallows and corrupts all it touches.
 
I have to wonder if the InternetAristocrat decided to release his video the day before Zoe sits on a panel at PAX just as a big "Fuck you". She's sitting on a panel because she stars in a documentary about up-and-coming indie devs so shit might be a bit awkward. It's being previewed during the panel. God, I wish I could sit in that room.

I heard Mr. Repzion is going to sit in on that panel. I'm expecting she'll cancel.
 
If any shit happens to Quinn at PAX, false flag or not (though probably false flag), this cause is pretty much done for. No amount of Alec Baldwins and IAs would be able to redeem us from the amount of mainstream and non-gaming press that would report it as a hate crime committed by misogynistic trolls.

I think protesting PAX is important, and I think as many people as possible should. I just wish there could be someone on the inside making the fuck sure Zoe was kept safe.
