Not sure how you got there, but i'm right there with you. I just don't think the word "game" in modern English parlance is the right word for these games (ugh, see what i mean?). "Game" has irreparably been cast as fun and removed from real importance. An example i see all the time is how people refer to an important…

They'd be judged by a jury of their fears.

This would only work with someone like She-Hulk leading, because you want to discourage villains like me who see "first ever all-female Avengers team" and think about mayyyybe committing a crime to bring them around for a so-you're-saying-there's-a chance at grabbing coffee or dinner later. With She-Hulk, it's not…

I would put down many monies for a Phase One leading up to a Mech-vengers crossover!

Secret greys high-five!

Haha thank you thank you.

I think it's like "thug life", more or less.

It's not important. You're being lied to right now as a consumer in many ways that you don't notice and integrate into your daily life. Hell, you think your voice as a consumer will influence an entertainment business's strategy (it won't; they'll only adjust tactics). And nepotism is bad? It's quite a leap from…

Again, Dodgson. GamerGate is First World Problems Gone Wild (without girls, ironically).

If he was more discriminating about the kinds of backs he was peddling, it might be more forgivable. But zits and all? Come on bro.

Iiiiii dunno about that:

Hey all you Half-Life's Witnesses, 24 words in his reply, which is a number divisible by 3!

Seems needlessly complicated when you can just activate "Have friend punch me in the face every time I die" mode. Your vision and motor skills deteriorate after frequent dying as well! Add "water only" diet throughout playthrough if you're truly hardcore (and thrifty with your grocery budget).

Also, it is a video game and therefore < respect for other people. "I can understand why" does not magically equal "less reprehensible". Following someone throughout his day's frustrations to the point where he cusses out an innocent old lady might help us understand why he did it, but it doesn't make it any more ok…

I was hoping the Enlightened West would rush to correct the backwards practices of these offensive Southeast Asians. Noooo no guys...we did it.

Fearsome power, that's what!

At least, no matter what side of this issue readers are on, we can find common ground in assuming that what is proximate and familiar to us comprises the complete lens through which we need view everything.

Great point. And i think as video games continue to spread in use, sheer multiplicity will make exclusions like this less and less impactful.

I would call him a great roll model, but that would just piece off people who know the difference.

Battlefield went to Vietnam a few times and got rather acclaimed for its efforts.
