Comment Re:Congratulations (Score 2) 762

Everyone seems to be focussing on "Titstare" which was admittedly juvenile, sexist and potentially offensive. It may just be me, but what's the problem with "Circle Shake". It was juvenile and potentially offensive, but was it sexist? It keeps getting mentioned in the same breath but I just don't see the comparison. One was objectifying women, the other was a joke about masturbation.

Comment Re:Voting "Accident"? I think not. (Score 1) 343

What happened is that apathetic voters simply put 1 into the first box on the page and dumped the paper into the Ballot box. They really didn't care who was in the box, they just voted to avoid being fined (yes, in Australia if you dont vote you get a fine). I'm just glad one of the obviously racist parties (One Nation, Stable Population) wasn't in pole position.

You don't have to vote to avoid a fine, you only have to attend a polling place and get your name crossed off. There's no requirement for you to actually cast a ballot.

Comment Re:I've been playing MWO since closed beta... (Score 1) 189

There's a definite negative agenda behind the original summary and article. The bulk of the community ARE happy with the changes and have continued to play. It's only a vocal minority that have screamed at the top of their lungs for attention, I sat in (online) on a couple of #saveMWO meetings and apart from a few well considered opinions the bulk of the talk was whining/specualtion about things that hadn't happened yet or were basically untrue.
