I'd say that's because there's a...

...one Pol limit.

And it's FRIDAY - no bad moods!

Worth saying twice I guess.

Gotta get down on Friday.

Should probably do something about that.

Well... There has been a lot of internal strife over communist structuralism.

This isn't a link. It's a video. I reserve the right to add in a link later if I find anything worth talking about. It's also mostly just something someone did for fun.

Okay, barring anything amazing or utterly shocking, here's my one link for the night. Interested in helping out GG but don't want to write advertisers? Well, here's one option. Write an email to a dev that has spoken out amiably regarding GG and let them know that no matter how much crap they get from game journalists, you still love them. The link has a few suggestions, but maybe you'll see one of your own who you would like to recognize, so toss 'em an email.

I think the current Anti-GG strategy is pouting, misrepresentation and hyperbole.

Alternatively, you could always take a stand against GG's pro-consumer, anti-corruption message and bribe a Gamestop employee to let you stand outside and punch people in the gut as they leave the store. Disclaimer: Don't do that.

Fine, here you go. Everything you need.

In seriousness, most of what I do is go to a couple of sites from the white list for gaming news and see if there's anything GG related while I'm there. Then I visit Twitter and do a bit of harassment patrol work(checking certain anti-GG accounts for anyone harassing them to report and reading a few of their tweets in the process) and check up on a few names I follow(TB and Allistair Pinsof for instance). Then I go to Youtube and check a few channels(TB, Mundanematt, Sargon, Thunderf00t). If I don't find something on one of those, I'm almost guaranteed not to find it.

If you want to do the same, here's a Twitter for one of the Game Journos on the other side. I picked him because he's the one who sat down with TB to discuss things like an adult. If you want someone inflammatory to read for the lulz, you'll have to do a bit of legwork on your own.

Not much leg work, just go to Gawker.

So this is still a thing, huh?

I'll let you know when it's over. Either with a cartoon of Vivian James doing a fireball slow walk away from something representing some journalists' careers/the gawker empire or when TB gets all parties to sit down and hash things out.

Either way, it's likely to be a long grind ahead.

So, here's what seems to be the big to do tonight. Someone, likely a third party troll if I'm being honest, got a gay GG supporter's twitter account suspended. Additionally, Twitter rolled out a partnership with Women, Action & the Media today(Edit: It may not have been today, that's just what I was getting from recent reports. May have been as far back as last Thursday.) which aims to reduce harassment by creating what sounds like something of a monitored fast lane for reporting harassment. It is not unreasonable to believe that this was used in this instance. There is also speculation that it was a multi-party report, but I haven't seen any actual confirmation, though this looks like it might be. So that's "blowing up" tonight as it were.

Further information gives a bit of context. The person in question is Milo Yiannopoulos, the reporter from Breitbart, and it was his @nero account that got hit. I have personally never seen anything he's posted that I'd consider harassment, but he has said some things that might be reportable, despite not being targeted at any individual.

If this is the only major GG voice hit, then I figure it'll blow over. Heaven knows a lot of us figured it was only a matter of time before the non-GG things he said got him reported. If not, I suspect that this could turn into a ********* with WAM's fast lane getting pounded from both sides by reports and counter reports. Time will tell.

Edit: Milo's using his personal account(it was his professional one that got banned). I haven't seen anything on his other account's suspension, but someone sent him a dead animal in the mail.

Edit: Temporary suspension has been lifted.
