It’s an excellent argument. There’s also the issue in there of how successful those games are based on the acting contributions: while gameplay is the most obvious element, it’s the voice acting that pulls us in. Ensuring compensation to voice actors for contributing to the continued purchase of a product is simply…
I think they kind of realized that initially when they did the first DLC for Dishonored (Billie Lurk wins ALL the points!). It’s good to see them revisiting her for the new DLC content.
I really want to see where this game is going. Frankly, if it ships with graphics as is, I’ll be okay with that so long as the mechanics are there. Sometimes, I feel like far too much emphasis is put on the graphics over the mechanics and gameplay, and that’s the key: it’s a game. Some of the best, most popular games…
I don’t want to rain on your parade, but that might not happen. I’ve never seen anyone as slavishly devoted to Trump as the current crop of Republicans and his constituents. Like...I adored Obama, but I had severe criticisms of him I am happy to be vocal about (and was). Here, the Emperor has no clothes, but they keep…
Life is a process, and utopia is not a destination, but a journey. History is a jacked-up pendulum that swings backwards and forwards, but sometimes it swings in just the right way to give us karma like this. Here’s to hoping Danica Roem beats the tar out of this guy in the general.
Republican tears: it is truly the best conditioner.
Long before that, in fact: see the Magdalene Laundries. Ireland and women’s rights have had a very touch and go relationship, despite 260 women participating in the Easter Uprising (some in prominent positions). Irish women have had an active and aggressive presence in the country, but it’s Ireland: some views are…
No, it’s not, but it’s the 21st century of the New Europe, you’d think they’d figure it the fuck out by now. But suffice to say I was using a figure of speech as opposed to saying they had better treatment before now.
I love my ancestral country of origin, but JESUS CHRIST are they fucking over women right now.
Sir, I applaud you!
No!
Oh, Lord, this is going to be one of those conversations...look, there is a big difference between mocking the Nazis and making light of the Holocaust. In one case, the intent is to belittle and break down the power of Nazi imagery, taking away on of the key and integral elements of their power. You take something…
Thank you! That is a big point many people skip around. A lot of the major jokes that involved racism were Pryor’s contributions, which is also one of the things that made them so damned funny. Brooks is a genius, but he knows that the best person to write a joke is someone invested. He might be able to empathize with…
Which is aggravating, because he makes some really good points. He’s very intelligent, and his comments concerning the Democrats habit of losing are spot on. It’s just that he has that habit of not knowing when to quit and digging himself deeper when he’s crossed that line.
It’s History of the World Part I, Gregory Hines was an accomplished tap dancer (it wasn’t a jig, it was a sand dance, and he was showcasing a talent), and Springtime for Hitler was mocking Nazis. You’re in over your head.
Ooh...that sounds like something worth seeing!
Okay, first things first, being half-Jewish isn’t being half-black. It doesn’t magically grant a person the ability to freely throw around racial slurs without consequences, anymore than being half-black gives a person the right to make distasteful Holocaust jokes.
I am with you there: while I miss the NC character, she has gone far and above where she was. The freedom she has now, to really dissect film and use her educational background makes for great little mini-documentaries.
