It depends on where you are. You can't deny, however, that black people tend to form their own communities and culture, wherever they are, just as any other cultural group does.

Nilin's father is white. Her mother is black.

And if her heritage is really black only a generation or two back, I'd expect her to exhibit some of the physical features and cultural mannerisms of African culture, or whatever black culture is pervasive where she is from.

Ahem...

So African heritage automatically makes you "black?"

If one does not posess any of the features that define one as "black," and does not participate in any of the culture that defines one as "black," then by what criteria is that person defined as "black?"

That's a black woman?

Look up the legal battle between Dyack's Silicon Knights, and Epic games. Dyack basically blamed Too Human's failure on Epic not properly fullfilling their end of the engine licencing agreement (which turned out to be a bunch of bullshit) and so they sued Epic, who then countersued the shit out of them, which drove…

Sorry Ben Kuchera, I am not going to respond to your article.

You should never have written the article to begin with, because it portrayed you as a whiny, self-entitled child. You then confirmed that portrayal by asking for questions in the comments section and then refusing to actually answer any of the questions that even vaguely disagreed with your points.

It's about the GAME, not the Players.

This article comes across as overly dismissive of what is actually a real issue.

I wasn't aware that Wolfenstein "forced" you to get any achievements. In fact, I wasn't aware that video games were capable of forcing you to do anything you don't want to do.

One line, and arguably the most important one.

So ignore the achievements. They only ruin your game as much as you allow them to. Take some responsibility for how you choose to play the game.

He didn't blame the achievements for his addiction.

I have been addicted. In a very real sense I still am. I never said it was easy. I said it was a personal responsibility to overcome it. Saying the object of your addiction is the cause of your addiction is a cop-out.

But I'm asking you. You came here and invited us to ask you questions. I'm asking you to respond to the points Ben made. I'm not trolling you. I'm asking you to explain your position. If you can't do that, then don't ask for questions.

That doesn't address any of the points he made, and frankly it's quite a cop-out answer.

Then why is the title of this article "Achievements Have Ruined How I Play Games," and not "I have Ruined How I Play Games?"
