I love the Oaf to no end. Clarkson and co. are the reason I (and a lot of my friends) even care about car in the first place. Its why I got so interested in cars, why I got involved as much as I am now.

You can not physically abuse a co-worker and not expect punishment. He was a dumb ass for being violent, and this is the punishment. I love TG, but this had to happen. YOu don't get to hit people and walk off scott-free.

My 15 year old daughter cares zero about cars. She has loved the last season of Top Gear. I actually came home from work, and she was watching the last episode, by herself. The ambulance episode kept her in stitches, it had just the right amount of NSFW humor to be just this side of uncomfortable for her. It's a damn…

The only show that's really come close to Top Gear's travel-ness is Anthony Bourdain's shows, but since moving to CNN and getting a big budget, they've ironically gotten less interesting because they can show whatever the hell they want. They're still neat, but less scrappy, and that's disappointing.

Top Gear UK didn't just get me going on cars, it's hands down the best travel show around, which is a whole new dimension you don't hear many "petrol-heads" talk about. The best episodes were the adventures out into the world's wild and unpredictable roads, which had a fantastic way of making you feel like you went…

Identical problem here.

The demise of Top Gear is really hitting our household hard. My weekly Monday night tradition with my 5 year old son is watching Top Gear. It is one of the primary reasons he is so into cars. We will really miss watching the program each week and it is especially hard since there was no warning.

You're not given a choice. There is no control over what your character looks like. It's like getting upset that you're playing as Altair in Assassin's Creed.

The choice was never taken away, everyone was a naked white man.

The one is a story-driven game in which your character is an intregral part of the story.
The other is more so a powerfantasy in which your character is kinda tacked onto a thin veneer or story.

Are you surprised a primarily American blog with an American blog writer wrote an entry using typical American terminology and not ones that cater to your own cultural preferences?

Except black people were already forced to play as white people. Think about it.

You've been playing too many MMOs. Race doesn't refer to wildly different species. The term "race" is perfectly PC and up to date; is used both in colloquial speech as well as official texts. Ethnicity refers to something completely different, which is why most surveys will have questions about both race and ethnicity.

This is actually really cool. I'm excited to boot the game back up and to see who I am.

Or they can put you in a position to question your and challenge identity, and maybe you'll learn something.

Love this concept, always have. I always wanted superhero games where you design your character to do something similar with powers.

I'm ok with racist white murricans being stuck with what they hate.

I'd rather it be abundantly clear who the racists are so that they can be shamed/hunted out of existence.

Vaguely, though I didn't get my name from the Pendragon Cycle. Rather, because Taliesin is one of the most famous bards in pre-9th century Britain, I associated him with Merlin, whether as alter-ego, father (like I later learned Lawhead did), or close contemporary.
