Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I don't believe Facebook is a legitimate means of having solidarity with a group of people thousands of miles away who are experiencing something we cannot begin to understand.

a constant message throughout a lot of these messages is a fear of isolation and abandonment from the rest of the world. certainly in the grand scheme of things, it wont have any significant impact. But it's a little thing to do that could give them some reassurance.

I doubt it, but it can't hurt. I just think it leaves you wanting, when you ask yourself "what can I do?" and in response you make another Facebook group. There's nothing you can do, but do whatever you think will help them or yourself I guess.
Because the last thing people who feel isolated and cut off from the rest of the world need is a connection to other people no matter how silly the rest of the website is.

Clearly you are a master at psychology, Sarksus.

Oh man, Iran is fucked up.

Oh wait. Chad just posted pics from last nights frat kegger! sweet!

    There are times when the PA experience is perfectly distilled down to one moment, and this is basically it.

    5 stars because it's the Iranian resistance thread and that's just about the one post in 100 that doesn't boil down to 'holy shit'.

    I'm trying, through my blog, to break into the journalism industry. Any eyes and ears that pick up on any leads towards that end are greatly appreciated. PM me if you happen to hear anything.

    Would've been better if they'd shopped an IRG fistbumping an Basij, but unexpectedly lolworthy nonetheless.

    Where's the I Like This button?

    This isn't really that great, but I will rate it five stars as a show of solidarity with the Iranians.
