If playing video games isn't a big enough waste of time for you, watch strangers playing video games.

Actually I kind of enjoy the commentary free play throughs. Nexa and I watched all of "The Last of Us" that way, a game we wouldn't have played for a variety of reasons. If a game has a decent pace and narrative, watching a well edited play-through is basically watching a TV show.
Additionally, sometimes the banter can be more entertaining than the game itself. I'm a fan of MFPallytime and the TGN Squadron's videos of Heroes of the Storm, but there's no way I'm touching that game until it's past beta. Despite its polish, there are definitely issues with the game apparent in vids that I'm sure I wouldn't enjoy. Dark Souls videos can also be entertaining, though I definitely don't watch as many of those as my roommates(who are also big fans of Markiplier, AGermanSpy, EpicNameBro and bunch of others I don't watch much).

With the rise of E-sports, watching competitive games has become a rather interesting market all its own, as well.

I'm sure that's occasionally true, but in my experience 99% of "banter" is two Swedish guys yelling at every mundane game moment. My kid watches a lot of that sort of thing, I can't be bothered to try to find the few that aren't like someone driving an icepick through my temple to listen to.

I watched some Hearthstone on twitch during the big tournament. Typically, I don't like spoilers to my games.

I had a hard time coming here originally to find answers to my EQ questions as I like to try and figure game stuff out myself. EQ quests were so convoluted and specific though - a typo would ***** up 2 hours of work. I'd have given up on a lot of good content in frustration if not for allakhazam.

Maybe I'll try watching some of the story heavy video games that I'd never buy or play.

Amen. I can't stand watching the "well known" YouTube game reviewers and critics, much less watching Let's Play videos. It's all either too-cute fast talking or just people screaming. I suppose that's what the kids are into these days what with their "lolcats" and "dubsteps" and "microwave ovens".

I watched a few interesting SC2 playbacks a while ago on youtube. It was actually pretty good while there was some general silliness, when the game started, there was interesting commentary explaining decisions being made and why as he played the match. Pretty informative.

Not good enough for me to go back to over and over though.

I watch Nick Landis' Let's Plays simply because it's amusing watching Krillin spaz to horror games.

That's much of why I like MFPallytime. He can be silly as all get out(and I do really enjoy that), but when he's by himself, he comments on everything going on, sounding a lot like a sports announcer. It's especially true on the HotS vids.

It is social justice with their stupid, retarded, feminist agenda that turned this into a very ugly culture war. It doesn't stop at video games.

Just off the top of my head these retards have shit up the following:

Atheism (Atheism+)
Comics
Magic the Gathering
Heavy Metal Music (#MetalGate)
Science Fiction-Fantasy Novels (#SciGate)
4chan
Reddit

It's all the same bullshit, whining about quotas excuse me 'representation', calling anyone who disagrees with them misogynists, etc. This push back isn't just from white males--the one demographic it is absolutely okay even encouraged to be racist/sexist toward--but has jumped across every gender, sexual, political, and racial line imaginable. Why? Because those infected with the virus of Social Justice are the most dishonest and untrustworthy people I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

What do gamers want to talk about? Games. What do feminists want to talk about? Genitals and who they like to rub their genitals against. No one else is interested; we want to talk about the fucking games.

I'd be equally hostile to any other kind of retarded agenda takeover. If Republicans were trying to push their pro-life agenda into video games they'd be met with equal hostility. Not because I disagree with Republicans or because I'm pro-choice, but because that transformation is not needed or wanted. It just so happens far-left moonbats are doing it this time around (last time it came from the Right in Jack Thompson).

Sarkeesian is a con-artist, professional victim, and Grade-A Bullshit Artist. Anyone with a functioning brain will see right through her bullshit. Her antics have garnered her half-million dollars over the last several weeks. Brianna Wu has demonstratively been caught in several lies.

Oh so do I. It would be the kiss of death for Halfchan, a day long since coming. /b/ hasn't been worth visiting in years, /v/ is moderated to hell, and getting rid of /pol/ would just make the place unvisitable. That and it would pick up traffic at 8chan and /baph/ would probably stir shit up more during the chaos.

In newest of news; Feminist Editor Ryulong has been banned from editing Wikipedia articles.

Why? Because like every-single Feminist I have encountered he was dishonest and edited lies into #GamerGate-related articles.

Good riddance.

I'm sorry but that's just an incredibly ignorant thing to say.

Everyone lies, it's not a feminist trait. It's a human trait. Show me some proof that lying is more prevalent among those that think women and men are equal human being than it among those who think men are superior human beings.

What the hell? I stated (implicitly) from the get-go that it was based on my experience. No sorry, I didn't keep a log of every Feminist I've run into nor do I intend to.

Actually, I'll make a single-solitary exemption and partial retraction: Christina Hoff Sommers a.k.a. Based Mom.

That is the one feminist I've run into that hasn't absolutely lost her fucking mind.

If liars and professional bullshit artists have taken over your ideology then that is something you need to take up with your ideology; not with me. I'm not interested in playing the game of No True Feminist or Not All Feminists Are Like That.

I think you should read the post again. Your typos indicate that you were in a hurry to reply, which likely means you skimmed his post once you realized it was anti-feminist. I'll break it down for you:

Now that we're all on the same page... carry on.

I don't know who any of these people you're talking about are.

My point was, we're all liars, not just feminists. You, me, the dali lama, mohammad and jesus. We all tell our stories as we want them told.

To make a claim that all the people who don't see eye-to-eye with you on an issue are 'liars' is just a really stupid thing to say.

Should I repeat that again?

And here you are pushing the same bullshit I hear from feminists all the fucking time. Just because someone hasn't backed your female superiority ideology doesn't mean they think men are superior. It's a false dichotomy and is a dishonest tactic.

Furthermore you've also tried to homogenize feminism with egalitarianism. Feminism is the ADVOCACY OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS on the basis of the political, social, and economic equality to men. Words have meaning; egalitarians are actually concerned with equality; Feminists are concerned with women only.
