There seems to be two kinds of shmups... The "daysu daysu" kind with little girls, and the good kind, with jets and missiles and things. I much prefer the later - the challenge (as long as it's a fair challenge) and music are awesome perks, but I don't need a plot much more complicated than "Stop the alien invasion"…

I've heard good things about this. Worth watching? Game of Thrones levels of good?

You know, I'm a huge fan of Shmups, but I've never understood the appeal of bullet hell shooters. I mean, sure, it's fine to have a bullet hell boss or for a challenging part of the level, but dodging a wall of bullets just isn't fun. Give me Raiden II or Einhander or R-Type 3 over bullet hell any day.

Eww... I hope it's not FORCED multiplayer like Diablo III. I REALLY want this game, but I loathe playing online. That would be a deal-breaker for me.

But since it's a video game, he'll inevitably start shooting up schools. Right? Fox News, back me up on this one.

I have experienced stereotyping based on my race and anti-white racism. If you haven't, I can't get all uppity and call you ignorant - because that's not fair. I will tell you, though, that it hurts. And it hurts especially knowing that nobody will ever stand up for me, just because I'm white and "there's no such…

Okay, so... If someone assumes I own a car just because I'm white (which apparently means I have money), I shouldn't take that as discriminatory? If someone calls me a racist just because I'm white, I shouldn't take that as discriminatory? If I see "kill all white people" written in the bathroom stalls at school, I…

The fact that the state of women is bad doesn't somehow mean that the state of men is so awesome that they are above reproach. What don't you get about that? The same goes for white people.

Oh yeah, it's "fake" just because I'm white. You and your racist buddies are really on a roll today, eh?

So it's okay to be racist against white people, then? Is that what you're saying, racist?

Buddy, you're a racist. You're a misandrist. Outright. You're a hateful, bigoted slimeball.

"You're not allowed to feel discriminated against because I said so, stop whining."

You don't understand what either misogyny or misandry are. They aren't social institutions - they're words that mean "male hating" and "female hating". If one "individual" says "all men are trash" (as is common on websites like Jezebel and FreeThoughtBlogs), it's a misandrist remark. There are certainly pockets of the…

You must be pretty fucking stupid if you honestly believe that. You can say it's "rare", I'd probably agree with you on that. But saying it doesn't exist? You're fucking dumb, man.

Just look at Patricia Hernandez's posts about that Sony press conference. They don't have any female presenters, therefore she makes the assertion that people at Sony are all a bunch of bigots. Shit like that is exactly what it's talking about. Sure, it's not quite "Get back in the kitchen" rhetoric, but it's close.…

See, Cliff, I take some issue with what you've written here. With one article, you've written off every single opponent of Anita's work as a backwoods hillbilly misogynist, and that's just not fair. Yes, there are issues of race and gender that need to be rectified in some corners of gaming, absolutely... People in…

"Sure, right, you're rolling your eyes and probably haven't read this far before commenting. This isn't some tokenist gender-equality issue, it's a gameplay decision a lot of golf fans—many of them men, regardless of the gender of their avatar—need to know of before they get the game, given the primacy of The Masters…

Funny, our banks didn't need a bailout here in Canada.

Oh wow. That's pretty fair, then. Why haven't they tried this with the bankers that caused the collapse of the US economy?

That's only because so few of them get caught (without being able to bribe their way out of it). I truly doubt there is a single rich person in the world that's never stolen.
