Romanian photographer Maximilian Teodorescu recently captured this dramatic photo of the International Space Station (ISS) as it drifted across the surface of the Moon. But looking at it a bit closer, you could be forgiven for thinking it was the starship Enterprise.

Galaxy Force II will hit the eShop at a later date.

Sega is expected to eventually bring its 3D eShop releases to the West eventually, though no dates have been announced. There’s already a PEGI rating in Europe for 3D Ecco the Dolphin.

I’M SORRY BUT THIS REALLY PISSED ME OFF AND I NEEDED TO VENT.

So I liked this page last year for the shits and gigs, as you do. I found it funny, and let slide the few sexist posts.

Only recently- and after I got a tumblr- did I really start to notice the abundance of rape, sexist and racist jokes appearing on my news feed. And it pissed me off.

I said nothing, however, because what could I do? Send in a message to the page and get labelled a whore and a slut by the Admins as I’ve seen so many people do? 

Then this motherfucking gem popped up.

I usually don’t get involved in these sorts of things; if I do my comment gets lost more often than not and goes unnoticed. But I had to comment, I really had to.

I thought my argument was valid and whole, and I was actually rather happy when he admin directly replied to my comment. 

I narrowed down my five favourite games ever and posted them.

Of course, I got beaten and labeled down once again. 

When I asked for a rational clarification of his definitions of “casual” and “core” he did not reply. It was only when I directly insinuated the bias of his claim did I get a response. 

“A feminist I see.  No arguments need to be made. Good luck with getting them eggs fertilized”

Note the use of “feminist” as an insult.

I have had my fair share of gender specific hate regarding gaming. I get told I am a fake and a bitch if I get a high score; I get told to “suck a dick because you are better at that, bitch” if I get a low score; I get told to “get back in the kitchen, slut” without any prompt at all, simply because I have a vagina. 

I am beyond sick of this. I hate the fact that if a male who hypothetically plays a few hours of CoD can be easily called a gamer by the wider community but I if were to say that I was a level 34 on Skyrim I would immediately be called a fake geek girl, a casual gamer and a liar.

I hate the fact that, even though 45% of gaming consumers are female, developers and publishers still believe that there is not a large enough demographic for female protagonists.

I hate the fact that most women in video games are no more than sexulised objects in skimpy clothing.

I hate the fact that I cannot enjoy a game without being labeled and branded because of the fact that I posses a vagina and not a penis.

~sorry about the long post clogging up your dash. I needed to vent~

Off-topic somewhat, but important.

why this

…since when is Gears “casual” gaming?  I thought big-hulking-power-armor-giant-gun-dude games were pretty much the definition of “real” gaming?

PS: Anyone who’s going to get their panties in a wad over me wearing a gamer tee is nowhere near on a level where they get to call themselves my “peers”.  Y’all only wish you were that worthy.

Looking at this guy’s list of “casual games”, I’m not sure what the heck he plays. Not FPSes, not MMOs… the only thing I can think is that he plays a lot of Madden or something. Notice there are no sports games in his list. Typical fake geek boy, horning in on a hobby he has no business pretending to be a part of.

seriously, that entire fucking list is what pretty much every gamer I know (male or female) considers to be hardcore. Which is another thing that pisses me off, because why the fuck is FPS/MMO the end-all-be-all determinant of gamer cred, but that’s not the point of this post.

Yeah, and the other thing is that it seems needlessly specific. Like, why Zelda and not Mario or Nintendo mascot franchises in general? My theory: this is based on specific conversations he had with specific women he sort of knows. Basically, it’s a circular definition where casual games are defined as any game a woman says she plays, because women only play casual games. 

Word. The fact that icky girls have touched a game and gotten their girl cooties on it is what makes a game casual, not the actual content. Therefore all games are casual. Nobody is hardcore and he disappears in a puff of logic.

Now that Kanye West’s new album has been officially released after a weekend of everyone furiously listening to a leaked version, enough time has passed that we can get to remixes and alternate versions. There are no official production credits yet for Yeezus—although the tracklist for the album on iTunes reads “I Am God (feat. God),” the ever-present being in Yeezy’s life, for he is both “a God” and a “man of God.” But Babylon Cartel’s Gianni Lee and Mike Blud have put together a mixtape of every sample from Yeezus, including Nina Simone, Marilyn Manson, Snoop Dogg, and TNGHT. They’ve done the same for Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and others. You can download the whole mixtape here, or stream it below.

Holy crap. The rumor that a startling 90 episodes of lost Doctor Who material had been recovered seemed too good to be true. So we weren't entirely surprised when it was shot down. But now, the world's biggest expert on missing episodes is saying it's true after all. Could our dreams be real?
