I actually agree that mechanics are more important as far as games are concerned. I don’t play a game specifically for any intellectual or narrative value. If it has it, cool, but games actually have shown to be quite lacking in both catagories. Where video games excel is in the game part of the equation. Games are…

Dam, I didn’t think of that either lol. My statement concerned only stories, and I was willing to say that non-story driven games did not have to be political. But when you put it that way. Shit lol.

But A. My interpretation was included in paragraph 2. Paragraph 1 already proves this is a very political story, and it doesn’t even go into everything I read into it.

Oh but come on this is an easy one lol. This story is born out of a writer’s experiences and values, and the way the reader reacts to it is born of the same, and these are not gained in a vacuum but in the act of participating in a society. That makes this story political already. The values that are built into this…

Wow see I didn’t even think of that.

Well those games also don’t have stories. I think the politics thing applies to stories, more so than just games in general. I mean Pac-Man was also probably not too political (though this maybe is a bad example, since there is Ms. Pac-Man, which is a game that is easy enough to see how it was political). But…

I don’t think so. Politics are encoded in our world view, and our world view is what fiction is made out of. (Sorry if this question was rhetorical).

From what I understand (never played the game myself) it’s the kind of game you play to challenge yourself, that people like it because they have to work really hard to make progress in it. Like I’m playing the Witcher 3 right now and it’s cool but waaaay too easy, even on the highest difficulty. There’s no challenge!…

Yeah you right. I’ve known many myself. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt though.

I’m pretty they just joking. Try to harm a hair on the body of any one of these kids and every single one of these parents would fight you to the death though they might not raise a finger to protect themselves in a fight. Parents are complicated people.

Same.

Yeah I have lots of digital games on steam, a few on PSN, but nothing beats disk. You can’t put your massive collection of digital games on a shelf man. Lucky for me, I have no kids.

Just googled, it’s not.

She looks really young for 50 though, they could’ve kept her on.

Yeah that was my take away from this too. Not the fox has no love for black people thing that’s something everyone knows, I mean the she’s only 50 thing. She looks mad young for her age! But I guess it’s true what they say, black don’t crack.

Trump’s hurtful words instead of Clinton’s acts of treason?

I don’t know, outrage hasn’t seemed to be working. It just fuels him. Maybe jokes will have the opposite effect?

“Dark Souls is not broken and is a beloved franchise by every single person on the planet... period.”

lol didn’t even realize that was him.

Some of these were genuinely funny. My favorite was the gamecube one. I laughed way to hard at that one.
