But Dragon Age 2 didn't even give me that. The "story content" was almost entirely aimless, pointless, meandering, bizarre, and directionless, rarely involving my companions, rarely involving interaction, and usually just "kill some dudes" or "find some plants" or, if I was REALLY lucky, "get Anders upset about the…

Seriously, I'm playing through Dragon Age 2 for the first time right now.

Games development doesn't mean the artist was hired immediately once the project started. Especially given the amount of tech they had to develop based of the few demos that were released.

Right? People act like reproducing is some kind of biological process that bodies are actually designed to carry out. You know what's really a biological imperative? Me downing this entire bottle of scotch.

You're missing out on our key policy points right now -

Come on now. Pregnancy is your own fault. You don't deserve special accommodations for something you choose to do, as opposed to something outside your control like losing your license due to repeat DUIs.

Come on, USA, it's about time you earned the term first world country and implemented several weeks of maternity leave before and at least half a year after someone gives birth. Paid maternity leave, of course. It might even help with abortion rates, because people are more inclined to have a baby, when they know they…

Yes and I agree with you - the "blackface incident" was just stupid and cringe worthy. The problem is, the context for it is very, very different here. So some Australians try to defend any blackface issues with the difference in cultures.

While that may be true in some instances (honestly, my old high school friend…

Oh my. My comment made it seem like I thought the commercial was racist. I don't, but apparently a lot of Americans did, and Australians were right to get upset at them about it. But I do remember some of those same Australians bringing up the blackface incident as a reference to America's ignorance of other cultures.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong and then wrong some more. I will agree to the last about the blackface issue but you are waaaay off track on the KFC ad. Not everything in the world (as in the other 6.2 billion people) is viewed through a myopic American eye. I wish Americans would stop trying to dominate the world and demand that…

The problem is that they didn't see it that way, as a symbol of institutional slavery, because "we never held black people as slaves." Their reactions were only exacerbated by a KFC commercial that came out a few months later which was supposedly about the black people and fried chicken stereotype.

I'm going to guess they were white Australians. Let's not excuse Australia's problematic history with race any more than we excuse America's.

I both love and hate the fact that he uttered that sentence with a straight face.

Political correctness aside... if you weren't racist, wouldn't people telling you they don't like/are offended by something be enough for you to cut that shit out?

"My black Klansman friend doesn't think I'm being racist."

Before any tries to defend this, the majority of people in the UK do know that blackface is offensive because we had black and white minstrel shows, we do not have a different history. This guy is an idiot just like the idiots in America and across the World who wore blackface for Halloween.

This is dumb. I bet they thought they were making some kind of statement with the black dude dressing as a KKK member. And I know that black dude let's his friend say "nigga" all he wants and it's cool because he's one of us.

"Haha, they can't unrape you! Haha you get it right bro? Haha THEY CAN"T UNRAPE YOU HAHA. Amirite? Haha, you get though right bro? Haha."

And they wonder why sexual assaults are so underreported.
