I hope you aren’t clicking on that link I put up earlier. Games have gone hand in hand with propaganda over the years. A propaganda game is a game with an “ulterior motive” and sponsored by someone who wishes to be seen in a good light. Some of it is “pretty lame” like the various …

Hags of Lag – Tauriq Moosa Wishes To Usurp Us
We were doing this before it was “cool”… That upstart newbie Tauriq Moosa has the audacity to demand our help on his blog! What is he? Lazy! Honestly! So he is jumping on the sexism in gaming bandwagon. I am sure we have heard it all before. So what do I want you to do? …

Hags of Lag – Guns don’t kill, Games Do
A lot of what we do as people who play games has harmed our image. A lot of the ideas and stereotypes about us are from the behaviour of our online players. The idea of gamers as nowt but childish, sexist, racist children is harming us. And people have noticed, we aren’t a group of …
