Right, and the Klu Klux Klan thought that they were doing what they were to uphold good Christian Values. The terrorists did what they did because of their belief in Islam, but that same kind of belief in Christianity has led to all kinds of terrible things as well, like the Sabra and Shatila massacre, the Lord's…

Right. I suppose I think of it this way: If the Islamic religion views Muhammad as god's prophet and speaker on earth, his messenger acting as a mouthpiece and speaking with all his authority, where do you draw the line? If A president or ruler snubbed a foreign emissary or diplomat, did he simply snub one man, or did…
I think it kind of comes down to the belief that Muhammad was essentially God's prophet. Even though he himself wasn't seen as god, as I understand it he was seen as God's agent on earth. So If I disrespected the person that essentially served as god's mouthpiece and representative, did I just disrespect just him, or…
I'm pretty certain that it's one of the ten commandments, no? "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image." And I guess considering his position in the religion as essentially God's messenger on earth, I guess the rule was extended to him? Either that or it's getting into the other commandment of "Thou shalt have…
While I'm not saying it was necessarily involved with the making of the comics, I'm pretty sure Islamophobia is a thing. There's a difference between being somewhat critical of a certain religion, and being irrationally terrified of the religion itself. Around the time of the Ground-Zero Mosque fiasco, there were…
If you want to hear more stories like this, they have plenty over at the Trenches website: http://trenchescomic.com/tales/post/
You see, it would be, but by any part of it all being Bidoof, no matter how small a fraction, it automatically becomes somehow... less. No matter how many legendaries you graft to it.
What amount of resources should we utilize to make sure Brianna Wu is safe from street racing challenges? Should we throw Jace Connors into prison? An indefinite detention in a psych ward? For what crime? Crashing his car? Believing stupid things? I turn it around on you, what should we do about Jace Connors?
I think they made a couple comics about a Gamestop employee having Nam flashbacks. during a zombie attack. And when someone asks for a refund. I don't think those comics are particularly offensive. Not to mention, there are plenty of games full of combat and murder where it ISN'T glorified. Fallout lets you callously…
Hmm. I guess I don't know the details of exactly what can cause a PTSD flashback, but regardless of the infastructure put in place for soldiers, wouldn't every modern military shooter carry the same potential for a PTSD flashback, causing them to relieve the near death experience as well? Also, even more likely to…
About the same way that murder is funny: it isn't. What's supposed to be funny is the fact that despite the fact World of Warcraft spins your character as being a heroic legend, they still stop rescuing people from terrible fates as soon as they reach an arbitrary number for a quest with an incredibly minor reward.…
"Oh, but if this whole science thing is true, then why weren't the Colts' balls under-inflated? They played in the same weather, right? EXPLAIN THAT," the haters shouted as a final resort.
True enough. The horse is already out of the barn this gen. they could try to entice a third party developer to make games, but I'm guessing that's harder to do than get them to make a cross platform game. Would be nice if they did though.
Okay. Second hand source, and the original site deserves credit for the interview in the first place, but still a pretty decent article.
Haven't read the rest of his articles, so I can't really comment on them, and I'm sure Kotaku does use plenty of actual click bait all the time. What I'm talking about, is that this article is fine. Interviewing people in a qualified position to comment on the industry, is actually journalism. As for the quote above,…
As someone who likes Nintendo, I thought it was a good article. As much as I like Nintendo's games, they make some seriously questionable business decisions. The article is an interview with someone who actually is in a position to share why that is. That's not click bait, that's actual journalism.
The problem with third party support could be remedied at least in part by making the specs of their console comparable to that of their competition. This would at least allow for cross platform ports, which would drastically increase the overall library of games available.
Now I just wish that we could play a real Pokémon game starring one of the villains. Imagine being able to play as Team Rocket or Team Plasma? Ah, one can dream.
Well, yeah, it'd still really suck to get it, but it's far less virulent and spreadable than the higher level ones, so it's far less likely that someone would get it in the first place.
