I also think its out of place. I think in a world with zombies, nobody would give a shit about skin colour, they would just care if you were undead or not.

Hey, do you have a link to any studies looking at what gender etc people play as in games? I would really like to read some actual science on that subject. :)

I don't give a shit who I play as in a game, be that male, female, pac-man, or square. I think people that _need_ to be "themselves" in games have deep seated ego problems.

"You're a white guy playing a black guy who kills zombies. Boo-hoo." I would hate that in real life. Seriously. Fuck zombies!

Also: "Saying racist shit about people and looking down on them is". FTFY.

Lets see how strong they are if everyone stops playing.

Sandbox games aren't an extension of MY behavior. What's the point in being exactly who you are in real life? You don't need to spend money to do that. I play GTA but I would never steal a car in real life. Ridiculous statement.

Perhaps you should find out if you are randomly generated someone who looks exactly like you before you write it off? You might get lucky and get to roleplay as someone who's exactly the same as your unimaginative self.

Considering he bashes white American males as being sexist, is being a white American male actually the most advantageous position though?

You play a specific person with a specific history and personality. You are saying you would prefer it if the character was more generic and featureless?

That's insane. You would really play that? Rust: Crayola edition.

I took it that xe was just educating Americans as to how the rest of the world works. I didn't read any "surprise" in xe's statement.

The less racist you think you are, the more racist you ACTUALLY are. Anita said so.

No no no. The new definition is that Power + Privilege = Racism. That means that it's literally impossible to be racist to white people. Something about vacuum cleaners apparently.

Yeah I know right! "This is a safe space for trans* black characters only. No shitlords allowed"!

Either we want people to be able to "associate" with their characters or we don't. If we don't, then it takes away a large part of the argument for having more female player characters in games. If we do, then nobody should be forced to be a gender, skin colour etc, that they don't want to be. So if it's racist, then…

Hell yeah! Handbreak turns are the way to go! Who cares if you lose a few wheels in the process? You can auto heal! :D

Been playing it for a few days. They did a really good job with it. The physics are spot on, it's got all the old power ups and cars and a bunch of new of each too. Much better than TDR2000.

I was quite amazed the other day to find out that Carma2 came out only a year after Carma1. The graphical leap between the 2 is significant. I would say there is about the same leap from Carma2 to this current one, only took them a million years. I'm not really complaining though because this new game is great. All…

Stephen: Hmm. I wonder if there's an upgrade later that makes underwater platforming easier and if the justification for it being tough now is that you'll appreciate the upgrade more.

If there has been a more direct situation of comparison, I can't think of it. The female one will even be out first, so there can't be any talk that people are already burned out on ghostbusters. Time for those actors to prove themselves, if they do we will surely see a greater percentage of films passing the bechdel…
