Im a black male. I’ve never felt weird playing non-black characters, nor do I gravitate to heroes like Lucio and Doomfist. I dont relate to them just cuz their skin color is similar, and I think the notion is ridiculous.

I always found the obsession with having an African-American woman as oddly specific. We have two Egyptian women, an African man, a Haitian man, and a robot made by an African girl. It’s not like we’re lacking in Black representation with about 1 in 6 characters being black, and 14 women means women aren’t left out…

“In the future, Kojima Productions will also start making films,” Kojima said. “If a person can do one thing well, then they should be able to do anything well.”

“that Diablo III was too cartoony”

all bodies are sexual. they are created by sex and their function is to create more bodies through sex before they become run down shells. we eat, we fuck, we die, in that order. we are animals, the dumbest of all animals.

On the one hand, I have a bit of difficulty seeing how an attractive woman painting her naked body to resemble sexy videogame characters isn’t sexual (not that ‘sexual’ means it isn’t art, or that it’s not ok) - perhaps I’ve been exposed to too many SI Swimsuit bodypainting/Playboy bodypaint lingerie party/Black Tape…

The ideal strategy is to take north and south America and the pieces of Asia that connect to north America and then pinch in from both sides leaving Australia till last to conquer in one big rush.

Everybody everybody thinks that South America or Australia is Nez back. But everybody knows that you're going to go for that, so if you can take Africa, then you are golden. Because by the time you take Africa, they'll still be fighting over Australia or South America.

Yeah, clearly this dude is a paragon of logic.

Are there any references to Ray Bradbury around it?  Because that sounds like something out of one of his books.

Real, big-M “Maraschino” cherries, i.e., Marasca cherries preserved in cherry brandy, aren’t far off.

If the extinct bananas tasted like banana flavoring, maybe I glad they went extinct.

I think Origin takes this award over Odyssey for best/ignored Ubi release. Odyssey got so much great press post release from many sites. Origin was almost on par with it and has maybe the best Assassin’s Creed protagonist to date but no one talks about it or Bayek.

Doing so right at this moment. Halfway trough.

Struggling a bit with the often overlapping dialogues.

Or as well attended as a Trump rally/inauguration.

“Not sure why gender matters in a video game”

I just want to say Valkyrie Rising is a badass name for a gaming group.  

.... you thought XCOM 2 was disappointing?

Man, that just sounds like a game of chicken where the prize at stake is bankruptcy, with a runner-up prize of also-bankruptcy. No sarcasm - I hope you have the kind of disposable income to support that arrangement.

I have an agreement with my girlfriend that when she stops buying hundreds of dollars worth of makeup, I’ll stop buying lego sets.
