Friday Clip-Show: Fifty Shades of Takei [Video]

I usually try to come up with some sort of witty intro for these Friday Clip-Shows, but... I don't even... I can't properly find the words at the moment. Just watch the dang video, you (probably) won't regret it...

The McRib (Food) [Review]

Some things you can always count on.  Tide comes in, tide goes out. Grass is green, the sky is blue, and McDonalds will always bring back the McRib.  What is the appeal of this sandwich from the world's most famous burger joint?  Is it the slathering of sauce, the fact that the pork patty is shaped like a little rack of ribs, or the sheer mystery of it's limited availability?

#1reasonwhy Explodes on Twitter and Shows Sexism is STILL a Major Problem in the Games Industry

In case you haven't seen, the twitter hashtag #1reasonwhy is being used by females working in video games to bring the sexism that comes with a male dominated industry to light.  Even if the thought of this makes you roll your eyes and you think that this topic doesn't matter, I really wish you will take a second and scroll through these tweets. If you are not willing to even try to put yourself in another's shoes, you are part of the problem. You can read them here.  From what I gather,  this started after someone on twitter asked the simple question: why are there so few female game developers? The ladies then assembled their answers under the hashtag #1reasonwhy.   These stories from women that work in the video game industry are infuriating and sad at the same time. Everyone deserves to have a career they love and they shouldn't have to worry about being bullied and treated differently because of their gender. It's sad that it is almost 2013 and women still get treated this way have to do something like this to bring attention to it.
