this is my favorite shit about black nerdom....they had fun, i dont know shit about any pokemon beef, but this was pure joy...LOL. love it

I dig it

I loathe Floyd.

He finally bought into his own hype and went off the rails with MGS5.

I love Kojima and his body of work...but after playing MGS5 I realized he’s a complete fucking lunatic.

Rest assured that we’re all every bit as impressed with your upbringing as you are.

I don’t think so. I’ve been pretty angry in all sorts of situations — even ones in which I get paid (a.k.a, my job) — where I just want to vent to the world. But using the N-word is still not among my repertoire even at my angriest. That might have been why he did it, maybe, but that’s still no excuse.

but it’s hard to feel sorry for the guy when he’s being this stupid in front of a massive audience

My experience with shitty bro-dicks in professional environments disputes this. Whispered racial and homophobic slurs are the cornerstone of every douchebro in a salaried office.

I too have a friend like that. Trying to explain to him why that isn’t okay is completely fruitless too. Something about how it refers to lazy people and not black people. Because, you know, some middle class white guy should totally be able to redefine a racial slur so he is allowed to say it consequence free.

This is a big deal beyond this fake sports league. I am really hesitant for my kids to play games online specifically because of the misplaced profanity and racism. Note, I’m not opposed to well-placed profanity.

Does this mean we might finally get Grey force users in the mainline films?

Looks different, looks new, looks fresh, looks good!
