Teen kills disabled girl, plays DDO to "forget"

Aug 28th 2010 9:22AM (Massively)
The ignorant detectives are "trying to figure out" if he was acting out a "game fantasy" from DDO? Wha wha WHAT?! I don't know...but last I check there was no raping in DDO at ALL, and certainly no killing of disabled children and then raping them. Hello, McFly?! Why is it that video games keep taking the blame for some of the idiots that just HAPPEN to play them? This guy was obviously screwed up before he ever started playing video games. Millions upon millions of people play video games and never do so much as steal a candy bar. Again....WTF?

Massively Reader's and Staff Choice Awards results for 2009

Jan 14th 2010 1:34PM (Massively)
I could NOT agree MORE with the results for Fallen Earth. That game has got to be the best kept secret of MMOs. It's ridiculously under-appreciated, which I credit to too many players of "that other game" wanting to have their hand held through everything and having their "game" served up to them on a hot silver platter. Frankly...FE is the breath of fresh radiation-laden air that I have been looking for since UO and SWG passed from my life. Great choice...even if it flies in the face of the usual "popularity contest" types of "Best of" lists. /cheer I'm also really grateful that players and ex-players of "that other game" don't seem to LIKE it. They usually play until their level 2 and log out with a frenzy of help channel cries like, "ZOMG WTF THIS GAME SUX!" ....Gee, I really hate to see them go. Uhm...yeah....right.

In Defense of: Sanjaya and his teenybopper fans

Apr 8th 2007 9:29PM (AOL TV)
"I personally don't understand why people are voting for Sanjaya, but they are."

Wow, how did you manage to be so blissfully unaware of the plot by Howard Stern and Vote for the Worst (.com)? Did you bother to find OUT why he's getting so many votes? Not many are voting for him because they LIKE him, they are voting for the entertaining (and disdainful, if you ask me) sport of humiliating the poor kid.

Does my feeling sorry for him make me want to vote for him?? Heck NO!! He's drowning under the ridiculous talent of several people this season. Does anyone think he is a better singer than Melinda Doolittle? Bwhahahahahah! Uhm...no.

However, I think what people are doing to him by "voting for the worst" and making a mockery of the voting system, is disgusting.

Patchwork enforcement on the naming policy

Apr 6th 2007 6:20PM (WoW)
I had a HUGE issue recently with this naming policy deal. My partner's real life name is Sharon Lee (I won't tell you the last name). This is her first MMO, and she didn't really think long on naming her toon, because she didn't THINK she would keep playing. Well..she's lvl 70 now.

Upon reaching lvl 70 someone reported her for her name and she was instantly forced to change it. Know what her name was? Moolee. She plays a female Tauren (moo), her middle name is Lee (lee).

Come to find out that "moolie" in the urban dictionary means the "N-word." Go figure.

Now do an armory search on the REAL spelling of the offensive term, "moolie." Yeah, uh huh. So why did Sharon have to change HER name, which wasn't meant to be offensive, NOR is it even SPELLED the same way. Grrrr.

It really disgusts us that Blizzard did this. It is not consistent, AT ALL, nor is it fair.
