Well shit. I guess I definitely have to get this game now. Dammit, AC! I spent so long avoiding you, but now apparently I've just been fooling myself.

God dammit. So this means I actually have to buy this game now, right? The thought of hearing Kreyol in a game almost makes me misty eyed, though is it actually Kreyol? Spoken by people who hopefully actually speak Kreyol fluently? And not people who maybe kind of potentially speak French and are now speaking Kreyol…

WhOA WHOA it's coming out for PS3?? Alright, officially buying it. I did not want to spend money on a Vita just to play it. So glad it's coming to a console I actually already own.

Speaking as another First Gen-American Haitian, usually in actual Kreyol, it's spelled "Kreyol". When talking to people, though, I tend to spell it as Creole because I don't really feel like having to explain the difference between Haitian Kreyol and Louisiana-esque Creole. Haitian Kreyol is an incredibly phonetic…

There's something called Google. And doing your research. There are a number of local charities that actually help specific areas that need all the help they can get. If you're serious about aiding your own people then you'd find a way to do it.

Wait - DID Allen release a statement regarding her most recent video because I have been so painfully disappointed with her since I saw it.

This. The fact that her definition of feminism includes the ability to actively objectify a group of persons who are even moreso belittled in day to day representation and the core of their representation is more often than not falling into the territory of their being sexual beings and that's it makes me question…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

My S.O. and I purchased a Wii recently and it made us realize that even though Nintendo doesn't actively produce games that are in our primary boat of interest, they still make games that are pretty timeless. A Nintendo console will likely be a staple for us just because it does such a good job of tapping into our…

I feel like this whole Sony vs. Microsoft thing is like watching a presidential race. We have the hard hitting hopeful that everyone's banking on not failing and the flip flopper. It's entertaining at first but I've seen this before and I'm ... kind of bored of it.

Pretty much all of this. Also am I the only one who also doesn't trust them due to the ease of taking away all of these features? It makes me wonder how quickly and easily they can go ahead and reinforce them.

I think if your biggest worry is coming off as an asshole then you should maybe prioritize using proper rhetoric when discussing it. Not the biggest puzzle to solve, really.

Man oh man. I was thinking about this the other day. I used to play the shit out of this when I was a kid. My brothers were cool enough (retrospectively, now) to actually get this for me when I was a little bean. I thought that this was widely known about, kind of shocked that people are treating this like it's a…

This mod came out when I was a kid. Photoshop wasn't really a popular thing back then.

Don't like it, don't read it. Seriously, I don't get why people decide to make comments like this for specific authors.

Hahahahahaha please go on to tell me more about the experiences of minorities and how they are clearly most certainly and definitely treated as equals in society. DO go on.

It wasn't "Bioware" that decided to publish this, it was Matt Rhodes. He did it because he had a lot of requests from people to see a lot of his works in progress/unpublished/scrapped work and to get insight into what goes into being a concept artist.

It's Shepard. His blog post says

I know it's a joke but for people wondering about this - it's a common technique to make sure that you don't end up with repetitive looking characters and to make sure that their silhouettes read well to distinguish one from the other.

I have the art book and they were all still very safe in respect to the concept that Rhodes actually considers canon. The majority of them still looked way too human like for my personal tastes.
