It’s confirmed. Hollywood hates anime.

Oh jesus.

I watched Jeff’s stream as it happened and Am listening to the Bombcast now. I think it’s probably similar to some of the things that Vinny spoke about in his MinnMax interview, that at a certain point there is a chaffing with management, even if you are technically part of management. That they are theoretically…

Yeah. I never got the sense that Gertsmann’s contrarianism came from being an asshole. Dude is hella knowledgeable about video games, and has been in the industry since the 90s.

At some point, you’ve seen everything and hype just isn’t enough anymore.

I mean who wouldn’t be cynical like he is when you’ve been in the industry for as long as he did? And been burned by it?

I’ve seen GMG ban accounts for having differing opinions. It’s not like they haven’t been pushing some people away. 

Also, it is a year to the day since the Brad, Vinny, and Alex left. I’m guessing there was a “stay on for a year” aspect to his contract he didn’t option to renew. In hindsight, this may have been the plan all along.

Does anyone else feel like was sort of inevitable after Brad, Vinny, and Alex left?

I get what they are trying to do but I feel like at some point we are going to get a warning screen that says “Warning this game contains conflict”

So just say African-American then, instead of being a white person on the Internet trying to tell people who does and doesn’t count as black.  I promise that’s never going to end well. 

You’re not helping yourself. Just update the article to say “African American” instead of “black”. Unless you want the controversy. Controversy of this nature though.... is probably not the type you want as it’ll probably be stigmatizing.

So Deejay, Sean, Birdie and Dudley aren’t black because they are Jamaican, Brazilian and British then?

Elena and Laura can CERTAINLY be referred to as Black. The term African American has been passé for some time, outside of corporate circles. One can be from Kenya and be Black. One can be from Brazil and be Black. Blackness transcends one’s nationality, and just as Black Americans have a connection to slavery, so too…

GTF outta here with that! “It’s different” my ass.  If you meant black, say “black”. If you meant African-American, say “African-American”. Words are important, right?

I mean the ages of the protags really vary between titles. The oldest confirmed age is the protagonists of X and Y who are at least 17 but more likely 18

The one thing I would love to see still is age selection.

Like, I understand the traditional story is all about kids entering the world of pokemon, but a lot of fans who grew up with, and still love the game (myself included) who started the game at 10-11 are now fully into adulthood.

I would be nice to see some…

Good. So much respect for what he’s done (especially the music, how often does someone so tied to the creation of the games as a whole also make the iconic tracks?) but this is for sure a series that relies on retreading the same ground over and over, and new blood is exactly what it needs, and it’s a rare thing that…

“Deliriously anticipated”

It’s been like 14 years of Funkos dude, Beanie Babies existed for a hot seven months.

I’ve been a lifelong liberal and I am so fucking sick and tired of liberals these days. Jesus fucking christ it’s a comedy show you humorless douchebags. Was this part of what drove so many people to Trump, this expectation of 100% purity from everyone?
