Amazing.

All art is inherently political, so go find some other hobby if you don’t like it.

I’d definitely love to see a history of peasant clothing! Fuck the aristocracy!

Platonic ideals: Plato’s philosophy is centered around the notion that what exists in our physical world are only imperfect copies of ideal perfect forms that exist out in the universe. Ethan is stating that COD 4 was the epitome of big budget, blockbuster video games, transcending our physical world by being part of…

Oh yes, I’m sure this game will give you an authentic Western experience. Half-way through the game you’re gonna get cholera and die from diarrhea induced dehydration.

Personally, I hate DS4. Poor battery life, useless sensor bar, useless speaker, useless touchpad (it’s pretty much a giant “select” button), and even after years and years of use, I stil dislike the thumbsticks. They always slip. And the placement... I know it would mess up the iconic design, but Sony really needs to…

I still don't see any USB ports in the back...

*squeels like Bobby Hill*

So fucking sad but true.

I’d feel accomplished that I inspired someone. That someone loved my work so much that they alluded to it in their own work would definitely be fulfilling. I've never had money anyway, so I'm used to living the way I do. But to inspire, to influence someone else. That would be something.

I’m surprised people are still pissed off over such a dated topic. Artists “steal” from other artists all the time. That’s what art is. That’s how culture is created. Unfortunately, our shitty capitalistic ideology is more concerned with where money is going. We side with corporations to strengthen copyright laws that…

No need to essentialize fatherhood here. I have a daughter and it still feels like a lame trope to me. Don't get me wrong, The Last of Us is one of the greatest games I've ever played, and has of the best narratives FOR A VIDEO GAME. But standing on its own its pretty eh...

How ignorant and ethnocentric. No one language is easier or harder to learn than others. It's all relative. For an English speaker it may be easier to learn German or French because they share a history together. But for a Chinese speaker English is bat-shit crazy, because English is a bat-shit crazy language. Unless…

Why couldn't they eat that giant troll instead of the deer? So much more meat. Plus! Trolls are delicious.

“My life is so horrible because I live in a castle!”

Sounds like this would make an interesting post-colonial read. Definitely something I’ll be looking into. Have you considered how the intended audience affects the text? In other words, is this a game aimed at an American audience, operating under the framework of Western Hegemony, perhaps subject to cultural…

As well as Borderlands, Sherlock Holmes, and Supreme Commander 2. Last month we got Gears 2, month before Deus Ex. PS-Plus has been consistently dissapointing since I got it (except for Grim Fandango!)

$18 won’t even get you a 1.5 hr movie on blu-ray when its first out.
