Forget a Halo extraction shooter, give us Global Battle prototyped back in Halo Reach development!

I've just been made aware of this. This is absolutely an insensitive joke. Earlier in the stream, we heard Ashley read out a username that contained the word “Nega” (short for negative) and all of us, including chat, freaked out because we misheard what was said. Once the misunderstanding was cleared, we poked fun at the absurdity of it. However, the "joke" relies on the fact that it's "teetering on racist" - which ultimately is no different than making a legitimate racist joke. I apologize for any harm this has caused, and for the fact that we ever thought it humorous to joke about in the first place. Racism is NEVER okay and we should always strive to be kind and lift each other up.

Anybody else think kfc has gone downhill?

lots of strange reactions to this game. let’s clear some things up: childless men do not have paternal instincts the way that childless women have maternal instincts (we observe this even in the way little girls play vs. little boys). men first experience paternal instincts once they have their own children - and typically, those paternal instincts are only ever felt for their own children, and no one else’s. men are not nurturers. men don’t gush over cute kids in public. men don’t have baby fever. if a man wants to possess a child for any reason other than it being a product of his own lineage, he is likely a predator. and you’d be taking the feminist/radical gender abolitionist position to protest any of the above points. this should explain why a “dad simulator” game marketed to mostly childless men gives people the creeps.

Josh Hutcherson tells GQ Hype that he tried to flag how unrealistic Peeta’s face paint disguise was in ‘The Hunger Games’: “I was like, ‘Look, I know this dude’s a baker, but how is he doing this? Baking sourdough is not painting. How the f**k did he do that?’ Why didn’t someone stop it? There are so many people who could have stopped it. They let it happen to me. I just lay there.”
