I love me some Rick and Morty, but that episode wasn’t all about gaming. Still a great one none the less.

This article is talking about Destiny, a game where journalists desperately try to remain interested a year and a half into the open beta.
~$4/gallon, and I still can’t get 93 octane in this stupid state. You forgot point #6, market manipulators and lobbyists. Even with the known confounds, it doesn’t add up. Oil goes down by ~75%, gas price down by ~10%. I don’t get it.
I know you’re going to have (and you already do have) people jumping on you, but you’re pretty much spot on. Hideo Kojima is terrible at making games (he seems to have forgotten the actual “game” component) and is almost as bad at telling stories. Weirdly, I still enjoy some of the MGS games, but yeah, anyone who…
Metal Gear is the kinda story where, when you’re playing it you follow what’s going on, everything seems tense, and except for humorous moments overall it feels like a serious work.
Then you try to explain or summarize the narrative and it becomes clear this is the most bat-shit story happening.
It really is. The writing is childish and bad, and the plotting and characterization is almost as awful (it is better, however). The thing is, MGS is absolutely incredible, as a game, MGS2 is almost as good, and MGS3 is absolutely, breathtakingly incredible. MGS4 was dumb and freakishly easy (seriously, you’re never…
This sounds so convoluted and idiotic. I didn’t understand a thing. The characters and plot are like something invented by a 5-yo with ADHD, who keeps forgetting what each person is supposed to do, or even their names. I knew Japanese games were “unorthodox”, but this is mental asylum-level storytelling. Even…
No. How fucking dare she imply that these two soldiers, graduates of West Point, an MP and a helicopter pilot, who worked so incredibly hard to even get the chance to attend Ranger school, and then completed it against all odds, how fucking dare she even think they should just shut up and go away and do ladylike…
“I believe in equality and all those things, but....”
No one said Bernie is bad because he can’t fix racism 100% day one. Like, at all. Just that he (and some of his supporters even moreso) has been fairly tone deaf on race up to this point.
Yep. I understand the article but it doesn’t put forth an alternative. If you are asking what he’s doing to help discrimination, and his plan is helping the poor, which has more minorities, in order to get them educated and in positions of power, and you just say “THAT WON’T FIX EVERYTHING!” You’re right. What’s your…
From what I gather it goes back to a line in TNC’s “The Case for Reparations” that I found really, REALLY troubling: Coates said he was against socialist reforms (like some of the ones Bernie is advocating) as a form of help/”reparations” for black people...because they’d be going to ALL people regardless of race, not…
+1000%. Re-training and body cameras are a poor Band-Aid. People need hope, and I think Bernie’s position on the state of higher education hits the nail on the head. It’s already affecting Hillary’s campaign, but honestly, she (like every other President) will focus her first four years on ensuring a second four…
That’s the thing that gets me. What is the platform that is being advocated for that Sanders somehow isn’t endorsing? None of these handwringing thinkpieces articulate it. Is there a policy that the candidates should endorse? What’s the plan?
Seems like a very all-or-nothing take. If Bernie can’t fix the problem 100%, on the day he takes office, then he’s ripe for criticism because he hasn’t done enough and won’t do enough in the future? Not really a fan of that analysis.
You’re totally right—instead of planning to alleviate racism with economic tools, Sanders should instead just plan to make every American sign a pledge stating “I won’t be racist.” That would be a much better solution.
As a non-white who lived in Vermont before, you can’t blame the guy. I met people in Vermont who had never seen an actual black person in real life before. I guess it’s also like the kids who have never seen snow? Oh wait...
For the last time: HILLARY HAS THE FUCKING SECRET SERVICE. Her events are screened much more than any other candidate. And why would you get angry that she actually sat down with BLM and held a conversation with them? That makes no sense. So your issue doesn't even seem to be about the way they did it, it seems to be…
