You are right, but you are not right at the same time. If you want to equate this to death, than it's not the fear of death that they are afraid of, they are afraid of a meaningless death. A death full of plot-holes, inconsistencies that simply don't add up to why they didn't die. Kind-of like war.

Mm... about what? I gave a few reasons why I felt ME3 was a rushed patch -job of a Mass Effect game: usually linear dialogue choices with not even the "illusion" of choice kept intact. To the point where I actually stared at my screen wondering why everyone stopped talking, and then realized "Oh! I can actually say…

So wait, you are telling us that people who create content that Youtube is making money off of, shouldn't see any of that money? People who spend their own time and money to produce quality entertainment and reviews should do it for free?

How is this different from any other job? I posted this on another story, but here I go again.

I'm a graphic/web designer for a marketing company. My wife, three boys, and myself all rely 100% financially on this job, and I have zero control or input on how the business is run. It's pretty much the same thing, I don't know why people want to pretend that it isn't.

true, but you can say that about any job... Look at the people who use to work for enron, or hostess (before the comeback).

And what makes you the arbiter of worthwhile-ness and productive-ness?

You can say that about any kind of media.

Sorry folks, democracy is a sensitive topic now.

I think the point that hammered home how fucked up YouTube's copyright claim system is was a few months back when some chick in Russia put copyright claims for all things Persona on YouTube and it was even affecting the Persona videos put up by Atlus, the people who actually made the games and have the copyrights to…

Oh really?
I actually had no idea he was part chinese. I guess that does make things a little bit better, one of my complaints was that they were more concerned with hiring a big name than they were with hiring an Asian that American's don't know the name of.

Like when they think "this movie won't sell well, unless…

Keanu has a good amount of native Hawaiin and Chinese in his ancestry. Plus, my understanding is that he's acknowledged as a "half-breed" in the film.

The movie looks cool and all,
However I have a problem with non-asians trying to reprise asian roles.

Atleast in Last Samurai, it kinda made sense for a non-asian to become a samurai (well...they did a somewhat decent explanation of it).
My problem with it was "Oh these Japanese Samurai have practiced the way of the…

I agree that it's horrible, but it also wrong to assume that the US is the only one doing this. The original article specifically listed both the US and the UK as spying in these games. China is notorious for their cyber actions. If you have the means and a genuine fear for your people, you're going to "watch over"…

You do realize it's not just Americans.... all governments are doing this to get/maintain control.

There's a reason Americans criticize their government when they do stuff like this. American Government actions does not equate to American actions. So, no,
"American's" are not the "badies". Just like "mulsims" aren't "blood-hungry terrorists".

You seem to be generalizing just a tad, as if America is solely made up of Islam hating homophobes who will be rebelling against the state any day. The reality is only a portion of Americans live up to that generalization, and most of them are over 50 and slowly but surely being replaced by younger voters.

Please refrain from saying "you" in reference to the entirety of the country. The only one's that live here who want to take over the world, are the Government entities, Republicans, and Kanye West.

The rest of us just want to live in peace with all of the other countries.

Actually, there are a good amount of non-religious people that think open nudity isn't good for children. You're blaming religion is no better than the overly used blame Obama meme.

A great number of people would disagree with you. And to this day, it is still THE greatest PC game of all time. Great pacing, story, atmosphere! Not one game in the past 5 years pales in comparison.
