PC Gamer's take on this

Personally I think every gamer should donate to this candidate. I wonder if they take Gil?

Idk if people try giving her too much money they might try to flip it and make it out that she is letting "Colleen’s World” slip into the real world... Humans seem to be stupid enough that they would buy that these days.

The artical Sylow posted says she is furter donations anyways.

It appears to me the main issue, as stated in the report, is the fact she uses this alias to post offensive things which she would not say in public.

The liberal bias in these forums is disgusting. I am sure it would be ok for Paul Ryan to post how bored he was at work and would rather be in Vana'diel or Mitt Romney to play ffxi and post on forums calling gays *** because, well....

so that came as big news to them that they are often called that?

So its acceptable, because they are often called it.

And you can't claim bias on the way you think people would react.

So you believe that all politicians go home and are the exact baby-kissing, hand-shaking, smiling baboons they are on the job?

Some people grow up. They realize that name calling means nothing. Are you offended?

Is Liberal Bias the new race/real life card or something? Believe it or not it is possible to disagree in relation to politics and it not be modivated by the difference in party.

The issue is they have taken her statements out of context, when she was refrencing the Vagina Monolouges for example. As far as saying things she wouldn't say in public EVERYONE does this, if someone claims they don't they are lying. If not in video games then in emails, to friends/family or just to themselves when no one is around, everyone has somewhere where they vent.

Wow. I was wondering if someone would be brave enough to come in here and try to defend this stupidity.

They called themselves that. I thought they were "taking it back" now by referring to themselves that way now.

She rolled an Orc rogue, she should be ostracized. Troll or Goblin or gtfo.

Other than that, this story is lulz worthy.

And I suppose killing animals for sport would be an acceptable hobby of leisure for typical or generalized conservatives.

Alas, I jest. Though I think a lot of this has to do with the general stigma around WoW or MMOs in general. I'm almost willing to bet if she was caught playing something like Cabella's Big Deer Hunting or something, it wouldn't be remotely as frowned upon. Yay double standards.

I kill animals for sport, and I play MMOs. I'm a wildcard son of a ***.

Big Game Hunter is also fun as ***. It's like you are watching me in my free time.

I think they would have just focused on her skill at handling a gun in that case.

Well, if this article holds any water, I should be able to effectively judge your ability to perform your job based on how you talk about your hobbies on internet forums.

Please tell me your job so I can judge whether or not you can do it effectively.

From a plastic controller...



I don't even know how to approach this kind of idiotic mindset of unmerited, belligerent accusations anymore.

I'm an accountant. I didn't say I enjoy stabbing things though, so you can't judge me. I already said the story was lulz worthy though. I was just making light of a HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE story. I guess if I had to defend it, I could say that in MMOs I optimize my DPS the same way I hope to optimize your tax deductions.

Ah I didn't know the game and figured it was the ones with the plastic guns in the place of a controller :/ Then again now that I think about it I havn't seen one of those for years out side of an arcade so don't mind my stupid.

Nicely done! Just never make an error in calculation in game or on an online forum otherwise someone might doubt your professional qualifications! Right?

Even if it was a gun controller, would that honestly hold any grounds or correlation to handling a real firearm? I mean that's like saying I'm a professional driver because I've played Grand Turismo.

Of course! I mean who makes mistakes anyway? If you're not 100% correct in all that you do 100% of the time, you're obviously a failure at life.

One single math mistake should get me fired immediately. I was able to calculate 25% tip about an hour ago at lunch with my wife without having to pull out my cell phone. If I wasn't able to do so, my employer should be able to fire me on the spot, no questions asked.

25% tip is really easy to calculate in your head though...

1. grow up.
2. it's not "liberal bias" it's that we're not all *** idiots, if that makes us lean against Republicans, well then that should speak for itself.

3. It's acceptable because it's mocking something that should be mocked, again grow up.

Unless your bill ends up being some obscure number like 23.71. I'd be willing to bet a lot of people can't do the math in their head. Most can estimate though.

Most people are allowed to be idiots who are allowed to be bad at simple math.

rounding up because I'm nice like that: $5.93, total of 29.64, so I'd round up again to $30.

I typically base my tips on 15% though which would be: $27.27 or $28, or if I don't have ones (or am in a good mood/they did great): $30.
