Shadow of Colossus also garnered a high rating... but I find that game to be rather empty outside of fighting the Colossuses Colossi. 

That is exactly the point of SotC's setting. Just you and all of these huge colossi on a barren wasteland.

It's not supposed to be a hack and slash.
If I wasn't intent on 100%-ing my first playthrough, I would understand that.  But the only side things I have seen for 100% are hunting the lizards and finding the special fruit.  My enjoyment of Tales of Xillia is also being hampered by "Do almost every single possible sidequest".  I'm not even past Chapter 2.

Maybe I should save 100% completion for until after I have beaten the game like I used to :/

Hey fuck you >:[

It's pretty odd but kinda right but really put weirdly and it feels pretty incomplete and I dunno.

Oh god, Dashcon. I have literally known about it for less than a day and I'm already completely obsessed with it.

General overview of everything

Due to the DashCon staff done diddly goofin’ by not putting a payment schedule in their hotel reservation contract, they were asked to pay $20,000 by 10 PM last night or the convention would be kicked out of the hotel. They asked attendees and Tumblr users to donate $17,000 via PayPal and cash to keep the con going - and they supposedly raised all of the money. Con attendees then piled into the ballroom to do Mockingjay salutes and wail Freddie Mercury songs to celebrate them falling for what is suspected to be a scam (as people have contacted the hotel to ask about this “$17,000 fee” and the hotel reportedly has no idea what they’re talking about).

Numbers were projected to be from 3000 to 7000; the actual amount of people, however,  seems to be less than 1000.

I suppose the schedule and the panel descriptions speak for themselves. but I did sit in one panel called “Name That Anime” for a cool three minutes or so before walking out the door. It started 15 minutes late and was so poorly improvised on the spot it was terrible; they were giving out hotel mints as prizes if you could name the anime where “clothes are used as weapons!!!!!”

The worst part, though, had to be the so-called “video game room.” Having gone out to Anime Midwest last weekend, I expected a room full of Xbox/Wii/PS3/PS4 playing stations. In reality, there was only ONE TV in the entire room, along with a bunch of tables.

Their big get for the con was Welcome To Night Vale, a popular podcast/radio show about a spooky town. They just walked out because the con organizers haven't paid them anything for cost of travel/performing. People who paid for premium seats for the live Night Vale show have reportedly been compensated with an extra hour in the ball pit.

Features wonderful panels like:

What a retarded thing to say. Every man or woman has to worry about strangers in that situation. What woman should think of first is that you're gonna get robbed and beaten more than getting raped.
There's gotta be a better way to educate people than this liberal nonsense.

Yeah, no. That's just patently false. 1 in 5 women will be raped in their lifetime. In comparison, one's chances of being mugged is about 1 in 46 in their lifetime.

I wouldn't call it liberal nonsense, I mean it certainly is nonsense but it's about as liberal as the tea party is conservative. It's so far out there it's retarded! It's pretty sad though that some of that horse shit is bleeding into schools though. In this case I actually do think of the children. Hopefully, for the time being, it festers in some colleges hijacked sociology studies lingers there for a bit, then burns out.

If Jenny McCarthy were on tumblr stupid people would believe men cause autism via ejaccination to the vaginal cavity. This is also called intercourse, but definitely NOT consensual since a man is involved (unless the guy's preferred pronouns are she/her or xe/xyr, but it still might not be consensual even if she said yes, but what if the woman identifies as a man at the same time? Then who is the bad 'guy' at this point? Holy shit, I'm confused now, better end this parenthesis!).

How you dare you question me. One of my favorite shows is Law & Order SVU so unless there are any professional researchers or rape crisis counselors here, I am the most qualified to speak on the matter.
In the dumb situation provided a woman is more likely to get mugged then raped. Women get raped mostly by people they know and in a home environment.

Now you're also meaning to tell me that there are more rapists running around then petty criminals? 

What propaganda site are you getting your stats from?

Dude, it's Nucka.

Thank you for warning him.

The 1 in 5 statistic comes from CDC survey from a few years ago, the "National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey".

Don't remember where I first heard it, and it turns out I was off by one (it's 1 in 6).

Including Robocop and Death Wish

I refuse to believe 1of 6 women who walk pass a guy in parking lot are raped, or even 1 out of 6 women who walk alone in parking lot is sexy enough to rise a boner.

trying to push the ide athat homophobia is because of hate towards women is retarded and part of the whole "tumblr feminist" movement of trying to convince everyone that everything negative is due to hate towards women.

Its a victimization strategy that is meant to make people remain in fear longer and thus be more pliable.

Not much unlike those people that blame the jews for everything.
Anyone non retarded believes in equality of the sexes but it takes someone specially retarded to believe you acchive more equality by trying to turn every negative action into the fault of males.

Mmmmm...... I'll allow it. But watch yourself, Counselor.

Are you fucking retarded or what.

That's not really what that quote is saying (it's dumb for other reasons) and while it is a screenshot from tumblr, it's quoting a guy who's not really a tumblr feminist (he's a frequently stupid news commentator).
