Re: Don't Vote...

I dont even know if I'm registered to vote...besides, I have a paper that isn't going to write itself

Re: Don't Vote...

You can actually check your status online.  www.voteforchange.com is a very simple site that will tell you if you're registered, and if not, whether you still can (some states have same-day registration so you can register the same day that you vote).  It was set up by the Obama campaign, so it's branded that way, but anyone is free to use it.

Re: Don't Vote...

 I'm not voting, my state is a repulican state, they vote repulican every election, no candidates EVER come here to do speeches, we aren't a sway state, they KNOW they have our electorals, why should I vote when it won't matter?

Re: Don't Vote...

i don't care, so i'm not voting :) either way its one more idiot running the country that has few worthy points to work with and isn't more than a figure head either way, he can only urge one way or the other, after the governments in though the peoples say goes out the door on anything that was "promised" during the election term.

the government votes itself in anyways, we merely vote locally, beyond that its all electoral college voting government into government.

Re: Don't Vote...

Apathy of the citizens is what keeps giving the government more bureaucratic power.

Re: Don't Vote...

 IF you don't vote, make sure you do it VOCALLY!! Protest in the streets. Rally outside the polls. Make sure people know it's wrong!

Seriously, to everyone: Research, then vote! Make sure you know all the options and what will happen for each. Tired of McCain and Obama? Remember: There are still other candidates out there. Write in a protest if you have to, but make sure your voice is heard!

Re: Don't Vote...

I protest the fact that these 2 idiots are the only options we have, since the media didn't follow the other guys at all, even though at least one of them may actually be a better canidate than both of them...  but when statistics are massively against you, you have one option, vote with the remainder. 

We have 2 idiots to choose from, which idiot do you want.  I just know I don't want the idiot that picked a lady that thinks Earth is 6,000 years old, and I rather have the guy that hired over a dozen nobel prize winners to advise him on matters of climate change, medical stuff, and so on. (I wonder if he learned was most scientist know, over 95% of climate change is due to cycles that the sun goes through, and the remaining less than 5% isn't all human either. [I go along with the BS though since I think solar panels and other green technology are a no crap items that cost less in the long run, but that is me.])

If the media would advertise the 3rd guy, or he would have raised enough funds, then this could be one hell of an election where a 3rd party shows they could take power soon, but it didn't happen this year.  I give it 12 years until a third party will either come close or be in the white house if the current parties don't go through massive change over the next 12 years.

Re: Don't Vote...

In Canada, we have 2 major parties (Liberal and Conservitives) and 2 smaller parties (NDP, Bloc Québécois) and then we have something called Independent which is the really really small parties like the Green Party. We give a fair mount of screen time to the smaller parties too, but it doesn't really make much of a difference.

Green party was able to be part of the major debates, but they only ended up with zero seats (out of 308). Huge amount of people hate both Stephen Harper and Stephane Dion, yet they have the most seats.

Media doesn't matter, people are just voting the party they were loyal to years before.

Re: Don't Vote...

I'm with you on that...  not.

TechnogeekIf the developer were male there wouldn't have been a "conversation" in the first place.10/19/2014 - 2:27am
Montetrolls are just at their absolute worst when it comes to women and feminist. You could bet good money that if the developer were male the trolls would be silent and the conversation would actually focus on the journalism.10/18/2014 - 9:18pm
MontePapa: Not the first time we've had a journalism scandals before, but the harassment never got close to this level; the difference with this scandal is that feminists are involved. Without the feminist angle, their would be A LOT less harrassment10/18/2014 - 9:15pm
Papa MidnightMonte: That's honestly rather short-sighted. As has been proven with other persons who have been targeted, if it wasn't Quinn, it would be someone else.10/18/2014 - 6:26pm
AvalongodI think that's part of what gives an esoteric news story like this real life...it taps into a larger narrative about misogyny in society outside of games.10/18/2014 - 3:29pm
Avalongod@Monte, well the trolls made death threats that came to police (and media attention). I think this is tapping into a larger issue outside of games about how women are treated in society (like all the "real rape" stuff during the last election)10/18/2014 - 3:28pm
WonderkarpZippy : Havent tried the PS4 controller. might later.10/18/2014 - 2:37pm
MonteSeirously, If Quinn was not involved and GG was instead about something like the Mordor Marketing contracts, the trolling would have never grown so vile and disgusting. There have been plenty of movements in the past that never sufferred from behavior..10/18/2014 - 1:57pm
MonteWe have seen scandel's before but the trolling has never been as vile as what we see with GG. Trolls usually have such a tiny voice you can barely notice them, but its like moths to a flame whenever femistist are involved.10/18/2014 - 1:53pm

Matthew Wilsonthe sad thing is there are trolls on both sides of this. people need to stop acting like their side is so pure.10/18/2014 - 12:19pm
MechaTama31So, only speak out on a scandal that hasn't attracted trolls? I wouldn't hold my breath...10/18/2014 - 10:49am
MonteI feel like GG just needs to die. The movement is FAR to tainted by hatred and BS for it to be useful for any conversation. Let GG die, and then rally behind the NEXT gaming journalism scandal, and start the conversation fresh.10/18/2014 - 10:33am
quiknkoldand we dont have a Dovakin to call a cease fire10/17/2014 - 7:37pm
quiknkoldThe whole thing is Futile. Both sides are so buried deep in their trenchs that there isnt a conversation. Its just Finger Pointing, Name Calling, Doxxing, Threats. there needs to be a serious conversation, and GG isnt it.10/17/2014 - 7:37pm
quiknkoldI thought it was a good article. Jeff is right. I feel like GamerGate did destroy its message. I am for Ethics in game journalism, but man. so much hate. and its on both sides. I've seen some awful stuff spewed on twitter. Its a big reason why I exited..10/17/2014 - 7:34pm
Matthew Wilsonwhile he focused on gg, he did call out both sides crap.10/17/2014 - 7:18pm
Papa MidnightThat was a damn good read offered by Jeff Gertsmann.10/17/2014 - 7:17pm
Matthew Wilsonhttp://www.giantbomb.com/articles/letter-from-the-editor-10-17-2014/1100-5049/ deferentially a nice write up.10/17/2014 - 6:44pm
