If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

In other news, the Oscar Pistorius murder trial verdict is apparently going on. The news says that the reading could take hours. Whoa. :shock:

From reading the local papers (or online) a lot of those seem to be of the "received a call from the x block of y street, police responded...". If there was just a threat posted online, I doubt it would make the news. "Just a threat post online'!?!!? What the fuck is wrong with you!?!?! It was enou...

In fact Peez's article is a gold mine of irony. When he says the following he really should be discussing his own broken and motley horde.

If you are depressed please seek professional help! Science, bitches, it works. (well it has for me at least.) To be honest, I was wrong. You can get to the "good ending" where you find a therapist, start to take meds, and your life improves. It all depends on whether or not you decide to either st...

Regardless of the actual content of the game (I haven't played it yet), I think it's an own goal to point to DQ as an example that 'women can code'. I "played" it.

More video links on gamergate and the SJWs. Pretty concise - no video, just audio to the screen, but Luetin plays BF and other games, Minx plays a lot, posts a lot of GMod.
