^ Nah, the music doesn't gel with the occasion. I generally don't enable any music at all when I play, not even GW2 music, because I prefer to listen to the ambient sounds.

I think the "unofficial" name of Tequatl is "Tea-kettle", but I usually call him Tequila...though I wouldn't want to find him in a bottle of the stuff. I usually play with only the game sounds as well, but will fire-up the mp3 player when I'm doing general PvE stuff.

BSN boards' resident journalist wrote an excellent article on the latest debacle here: techraptor.net/content/guild-wars-2-writers-fired-after-twitter-spat-by-arenanetMy opinions on the incident are these: 1) Deroir was a massive fan of Price and was using the thread as a chance to engage in a conversation with someone he looked up to. Price used the opportunity to set him up to be mocked by all her followers. 2) If you're angry at people address the incident with the people you're angry with. Lashing out at innocent parties makes you a giant arsehat. In this case Price was exasperated by some attitudes she confronted at work and lashed out at one of her fans. Ignoring him was an option, but that would have been sensible. 3) Also Price has a history of being a giant arsehat, so it shouldn't be a surprise she went down the road she did. 4) This incident by itself doesn't seem like something to be fired over though. Usually a string of apologies are given out. Could be something more to it?

Usually a string of apologies are given out. Could be something more to it? I mostly agree, though not necessarily fully with point 4. I would say it put her on thin ice if this were the only issue around; not necessarily over the line into firing territory, but "can see there from here *very* clearly". Her prior behavior, however, could have made this the final item - e.g. the TotalBiscuit comment, prior internal comments (that we wouldn't know about), and so on.
Because she made it about gender, Peter Fries was also fired - he could have apologized, especially if the situation was that he was defending a colleague, and posted before he knew the full story. However, given the path she went to immediately, if she were fired and he wasn't (even though her actions were more egregious), it's highly likely it would have been spun as "woman gets fired, man gets a tap on the wrist". Note how, in all of her inane justifications, she never mentions he was fired, too.

I'm glad she's kicked out. I think her marbles went out of whack. I'm surprised she thought she could attach her company's name to her twitter account, talk about her company and her duties there and still think she was not representing the company. I don't know her personally, so all I can do is guess based on her behavior (in this incident and in the past), but I believe it might be inextricably tied to why she accused Deroir of sexism in the first place.

Before I start, kudos to Techraptor for the objective article on the issue. They were one of the few who offered an objective take and weren't acting as a mouthpiece for offended devs.
However in general, the gaming media's embarrassing arse-kissing of Price on this issue (and gaming devs in general) cements my opinion that the gaming media doesn't represent gamers interests at all. They represent the interests of those within the industry first, and the community second. It's like if political reporters sought to look after the politicians first when delivering news to the public, what an utter joke.
It's a shame that gamers don't have a media that looks out for gamers, but good on the developers for cultivating a media that looks after their interests though, nice work there champs.

No surprise to hear Sarkeesian also leaped into the fray, baying as her wont , to the defense of the two former devs. I honestly don't understand people any more. What's wrong with the world today?

To me, this only further reinforces my point about how Devs by and large are just divorced from reality, and only want to exist in echo chambers. It also, imo, really drives home how all those years Devs say the Bioware fanbase is "toxic". Well if what this guy said is considered "toxic" to them, then it's 1000% clear that anything other than blatant brown nosing of their ego is "toxic" behavior. It's hilarious how hypocritical that stance is, and even more hilarious how people like this refuse to see the hypocrisy of their attitudes. Maybe they DO see it, and just don't care, because they are too far convinced of their own self righteousness, I can't say for sure, but either way, it's a pathetic state of affairs.

Jessica Price fucked up plain and simple. Her narcissism and absolute refusal to accept the possibility of wrongdoing leads me to be believe that she's a psychopath.
