Not enough people talk about how in 13 Going on 30 Jennifer Garner goes into the future and then returns to the 80s with full knowledge of 9/11 and presumably does nothing about it.
The rumors are true! I am choosing not to continue over with Giant Bomb after things carry over with the sale. My last day will be 11/30, so we still have lots more time to hangout! I've been a Content Producer with GB for almost 4 years and I'm very thankful for my time here!
For all the people asking why women don't come forward about sexual assault, look at the history of these Louis CK claims. Women have been speaking up for years and their careers have suffered for it. Believe women.
If you're a person who truly believes that women make up sexual violence claims only to receive death threats, constant harassment, and still not be believed anyway, take a good long look at what that says about you and your relationship with women.
Giant Bomb truly changed my life and I will always be thankful to Vinny and the East Coast team for giving me a chance and welcoming me into their team. Forever grateful for my time there! And excited for Vinny, Alex, and Brad to move on to the next chapter of their lives.
A lot of folks got upset with me for saying that the NYPD were White Supremacists because their dad or their uncle are cops and they're good. Any good the cops have done was in service to white people and white power. The system is racist and your uncle should quit.
Lesbian bars were already a dying breed before COVID began, but the few that are left may not survive our current crisis. If you’re able, consider donating to help keep them alive.
Today marks my one year anniversary at Giant Bomb. This job has truly changed my life & I feel forever thankful. I feel especially fortunate to have met so many wonderful folks in the industry and beyond. That and being voted Most Powerful Celebrity Gamer from now until my death.
The only respectable thing you can do when you run into someone who ghosted you is to forgive them, give them a second chance, form a relationship based on trust and mutual respect, fall deeply in love, build a life together, and leave them at the altar and never look back.
Cops violently and intentionally drove into crowds of peaceful protesters blocks from my home. How anyone can defend the police is beyond me. The NYPD are white supremacists and the system needs to be dismantled.
“You’re doing a great job at work!”: whatever
”I think I am in love with you!”: uh huh
“Wow, our dog doesn’t normally warm up to people this quickly!”:
heartbroken that the guy who claimed that women were too much work to animate into games is loudly having more bad takes on twitter. don't meet your heroes i guess.
I find that people get the most mad at me when I chose to speak my opinion/perspective about a game instead of staying quiet and letting the boys speak.
Wow! I am putting all of my Nikes in the garbage disposal!! Working with a peaceful protester is AGAINST MY MORALS!!!! I miss the days when I could proudly support them for their child labor practices like a GOOD AMERICAN!!! WOW
My New Years Resolution this year is to finally throw away those three empty Dominos Pizza boxes sitting in the bottom of my fridge. This was my resolution last year, too, but 2018 feels like a year for change.
Just a reminder: if you're a man and you see one of your male friends has a pattern of treating women like they're disposable, it's on you to call them out.
No matter how many women chew them out, break up with them, etc, they will never listen because they do not respect women.
I was once asked in an interview if I "liked the games industry" and I remember feeling kind of shocked by the question. So much of the industry still feels this way for women, and I think most men in it are, at best, completely unaware. Many are happy to maintain the status quo.
Oh god, I'd not seen this before. It's heartbreaking.
Here's a 2010 Blizzcon panel in which a fan was brave enough to ask a panel full of men, including J. Allen Brack (left) & Alex Afrasiabi (right) whether there's scope for some of WoW's female characters to be less sexualised
There's nothing quite like investing in a show and characters for eight years just to watch it conclude by selling out literally every single character in one episode.

Yesterday marked my second full year working at Giant Bomb and I totally forgot because I was too busy thinking about Bjork. Thankful for GB. Thankful for Bjork.
Dan is an enigma and I will genuinely miss working with him. He has always supported my ideas and his genuine enthusiasm for games has been so motivating for me at this job. That said, I will not miss all of the boxes under his desk that would constantly creep over to my desk.
From a newspaper to a magazine to websites and podcasts, I’ve had the privilege of working in games for 15 years. Today, I’m stepping away from the industry that’s been so great to me. Thank you to everyone that helped make the experience so special.
You can always tell a real New Yorker by whether or not they carry an umbrella. REAL New Yorkers show up to work soaking wet and angry. REAL New Yorkers are never comfortable.
Drunk History is one of my favorite shows in the whole wide world and it was my absolute DREAM to one day be on it as a background colonist churning butter or the wife of a President with no lines and I plan to SUE Comedy Central for shattering this dream.
In case anyones wondering how I'm doing tonight, I completely forgot that I put a pizza in the over and only remembered when the timer went off in the middle of me EATING AN ENTIRE OTHER MEAL I JUST MADE.
The woman next to me on this flight is beautiful and has Whole Foods bag full of healthy snacks and I hope she enjoys watching me eat this pizza lunchable at 7am.
People keep asking me how was my week and then acting surprised when I tell them I hardly left my house and idk how to respond to that except to say "yeah I'm not trying to kill people"????
HELLO! I will be leaving G4 at the end of this month! I am proud of a lot of the work I made and I really enjoyed getting to know a lot of people on the Xplay team and beyond.
i did fuck my cat. i fuck my cat all the time. he likes it weird and i can't help but to oblige! i refuse to apologize because it's consensual and we are in love. my cat is the only man who has ever made me cum. (4/69)
I just want to add another voice to defend Ellen. As a fellow A-Lister, she has been nothing but kind to me where our careers benefitted each other. I've never seen her be rude to her staff, but I would also rather die than look a PA in the eye. She killed my dog and I liked it.
