Dress codes are often how small-minded, cubicle despots get their jollies. They love hierarchy and the games it allows them to play. Later, they go home and someone shoves a cattleprod up their ass or makes them wear a maid’s outfit with their dick hanging out. These two activities are closely connected.

“Riot” is white person speak for anytime there are enough black people assembling in one place to scare them.

Ok, so the cop was charged with murder

An on board robot doctor would be cool

That’s a huge part of why Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto games have always portrayed minority groups the most accurately. They consult people in the know, if they’re not already on staff. DJ Pooh (Co producer of Friday) ended up co writing GTA San Andreas after the Houser brothers finished their original script and…

The problem is: why aren’t those under represented entering game development? AND regardless of “why”, how do we get them in to the industry?

Except that a woman of Puerto Rican heritage from the Bronx has been bombarded with the “standard” of a white, upper middle class man from the suburbs, so she’d be better qualified to write his story than the other way around. And yet, which way does this tend to go? Oh.

That’s a great point, how devs go to exacting lengths to portray non-existent cultures yet fall on their faces when depicting real people for whom there is near limitless reference material.

....and it’s pretty much exactly what Narcisse thinks we need. The article isn’t just about that one topic, though. The problem with saying “well black people just need to make their own games” is that it implicitly ignores all the other issues he talks about and appears to give developers a pass for doing such a bad…

I think this must be like the Japanese equivalent of our own home-grown “stubbly buzz-cut dude with a hoodie and a growly voice.”

But that’s still a double standard, you can’t say its ok to objectify men and not ok to objectify women cause way more women have been objectified in the past. If its wrong for one, then its wrong for both, and if its ok for one then its ok for both. .

Lovin’ the bearded Chun-Li pre-preorder costume

Rule One of Marketing: Create a void and fill it with product. Case it point: make women hate their bodies and then sell ‘em shit.

Someone needs to figure out how to ride a plasma tube to space. Quick, call Elon Musk!

Because they needed a pretty blonde white woman for the love interest. Diversity is good but it can’t trump mainstream US audiences!

It feels like some sort of unintentional commentary on sexism: “As the female member of the team, Sue’s basically invisible. We don’t know what her power is.” Sue: “Hey look guys, super-powerful forcefield over here!” “Yep, we have no idea what she can do.”

It doesn’t exactly hold up in comparison to actual screen shots from the trailers:

For a split, godawful second, that really is what I thought

Sue: *uses forcefield to shove a bunch of cargo containers away*
Guy: This is Sue! She can turn invisible.
