Deadly Premonition will never get fixed. Even the "director's cut" on the PS3 was actually a lie. Rising Star Games added the "director's cut" and Swery's signature to the cover in the US and Europe to make sure fans of the game to double dip, figuring no one else would actually buy it. That PS3/PC "director's cut" is actually just the original PS3 game from when Deadly Premonition was originally released on the system in 2010. There technically are some additions to the game but they amount to one or two more sentences story that add nothing. The controls are improved very slightly too but it's so minimal one may as well stick to the 360 version if that's what they have.

NISA just re-released it on PS3 in a "limited edition box set" thing, although I'm not sure why - it's been almost three years...

It's probably 4chan coloring my perceptions, but when I see /pol/ as the end game for "political incorrectness" it's hard to give the concept much sympathy. PC Police/SJW/whatever is just a lazy shortcut to cut down criticism, ironic considering it tends to be wielded by people purportedly in favor of free speech. There's still a whole spectrum between being overly sensitive and being a Hitler. People on the internet should grow some thicker skin. Joseph Joestar:I thought plastic bags have been 5p in the UK for a few years at least. In the Netherlands they have been 5 or 10 cents for a long while now. Only in super markets though, and they are the sturdy kind, not those white see-through kind.

There's still a whole spectrum between being overly sensitive and being a Hitler. It really is a binary issue though, either you think people (or media) should be held accountable for things that they say/do, or you don't. Anything in-between is completely arbitrary.

Although I agree, there's also the unfortunate implication that if you are of the opinion that the media should be held accountable, you are automatically a demonspawn misogynist from hell. Which shouldn't be the case, because it's perfectly reasonable to believe 99 percent of all humans that identify as a journalist is in some form evil without having to resort to hating women as well.

I guess to cover both ends of the spectrum, Ben Kuchera and Nero are both pretty much evil. The Gawker guy, after arbitrarily outing that executive guy and trying to pass it off as "seeking the truth" or some shit... Rich Johnston is another person along those lines. I agree, "pure evil" is a gross exaggeration on my part, but I think they're all reprehensible human beings that abuse the power given to them.

The only thing I know is the internet is just not fun anymore, politics aside, who's right and who's wrong aside, with the MRA fedora tippers on one side and cat eye glasses wearing "SJWs" on the other, the internet is in a pretty miserable place right now, I simply miss the days when the net was a playground for nerds, the days of chocolate rain, all your base, Nintendo Sixty Fouuuuuuuuuuuuuuur and DO NOT WANT. I mean years ago no one used to debate "political correctness" on the internet, the very idea would have been patently absurd, the internet used to be all about saying whatever you wanted, offensiveness was simply the nature of the beast, it's bizarre to think the "wild west" era of the internet is already over. Seeing how people behave on facebook or sites requiring facebook to comment, can't say i'm convinced that doing away with anonymity will have any meaningful impact outside of fragilizing people who actually need it (whistle-blowers, marginalized ppl, etc) I disagree. I'm not sure how it is in France, but employers here in the US abuse the shit out of Facebook and other social media for looking for reasons to fire employees - I can't imagine how much worse it would be if everything else was de-anonymized. There's private investigation firms that specialize in finding dirt on people's Facebook accounts. I'm not even talking about cases where someone posted pics of getting drunk or something stupid - a lot of companies will flag things that don't fit their MO; one example is that if people don't update or post enough then they're seen as being a liability because they're "obviously" not a social person, and aren't a "team player." That is some fucking creepy, full on Big Brother shit right there, I especially hate the idea that if you don't frequently post on Facebook, let alone God forbid not even have one, they'll fire you for that, Facebook can lick my ass. MRA isn't a derisive term but rather, the name of a movement. I will totally refer to people I dislike as Goober Graboids from now on however. Graboids are pretty cool, are you sure you want to give "them" that? ;p Speaking of which, I have a lot of respect for SWERY for not only mentioning Tremors but Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (of which I've recently realized I lost my copy, which saddens me). FUCK YEAH REMO WILLIAMS! link link

I'm a fan of Remo Williams for many reasons - the movie is a great example of 80's cheese. Chiun is a great character because of how racist he is, he reminds me of my in-laws. Unfortunately even if they knew Sinanju they wouldn't teach me.

I'm not a big Ben Kuchera fan but like, Ben Kuchera never contributed to immediately turning Gamergate from whatever its standards of seeking "ethics" in game journalism was supposed to be into basically an anti-woman hate group like Yiannopoulos did. Like this comes up every few pages when a discussion about politics in gaming is happening, and I'm still not understanding why one "side" is awful when its crimes are "writes articles about video games I disagree with" compared to another that's actively malicious as a career. Sorry I didn't see that you added more to your post, it's true that the movie Nightcrawler is basically a documentary. But at the same time, the examples you put forth make me believe even more strongly that this is pretty binary.

Yup, it's an entertaining movie and you gotta love how you could get away with such a blatantly racist (though still lovable) character as Chiun as recently as the 1980's.

Well, writing clickbait about videogames is the least of his negative points. Anyway my excuse is that I was at a loss, I needed two objective examples of pure evil games journalists but... well,.... anyway I hope that we can at least agree that he's incredibly scummy, and that tabloid-style of journalism (game or otherwise) is a detriment to society.

It's not racist, they got a Jew to play him so it's all good.
