… or Google is making some very strange “private contractual arrangements” with the big media companies. I’m inclined to think it’s the former, but I suppose it could be the latter which would really piss me off.

Cosplayers are going professional?

I have to admit that I’m really surprised to learn that cosplayers are being sponsored. Though it makes a lot of sense, especially given the amazing attention to detail and work being done by some of the cosplayers out there.

There seems to be a trend of confronting misogyny going on. There’s been lots of discussion among atheists after the whole ElevatorGate blowup and now I’m seeing it crop up repeatedly in video gaming circles. This is a very good thing which I hope will improve the environment for everyone.
