I still remember the anger in the 16 bit gaming community when square decided that western gamers werent smart enough for RPG's, so they didnt release ff5 in north america, despite the fact that ff4/2 was a barely advertised hit in the US and canada. The old gaming mags were up in arms about that for years.

Streets of Rage 2 was the 2nd game I ever played on Genesis...I had no idea this even existed! The game brings back memories of hours of old school beat em up action with my brother. I even bought the (ridiculously over priced) import version of part 3 (Bare Knuckles).

Why must genders have boundaries in the first place? Do we need to gender-neutralize all characters in order to get people to believe that each gender is equally possible at achieving anything?

Bustier and leggings, no. Tighties and leggings = Superman, Batman, and it looks like green lantern.

Dont forget chinese pottery found in ecuador from long before Colombus, as well as African shaped heads in pre-Mayan central America.

The new sexy is 'covered and shapeless' apparently. I cant wait until victorian dresses return.

Reconfirmation of my earlier thought: Women HATE SUCKER PUNCH.

No my argument is you replied disclaiming the poll by saying "it didnt say X about tea partiers", when the surveys was about 'y'. Yes, Y leads to X, but if you read it, your response would likely be better aimed at attacking something that was in it, rather than jumping to the assumption (no matter how obvious).

Why must a movie be the greatest thing in history to be anything short of HORRIBLE in modern movies?

Um, the survey actually proves a lot. Just because you do not like the results does not mean it is invalid (considering it wasnt done by a media org or political party, but a university...Id say it is pretty valid). Please show me your counter data before you attempt to discredit it. Otherwise I could sit and argue…

Why does every movie have to be utterly spectacular to even be decent? Tron, Scott Pilgrim...nowadays 'good to ok' watches = HORRIBLE KILL WITH FIRE! to most movie reviewers.

Cant argue that statistics. I know it angers tea partiers to no end, but stats show the MAJORITY of them hold high levels of resentment towards blacks, mexican americans, nonchristians and homosexuals. As a person of color who actually sort of visited one of the tea party events a few years ago, let me tell you the…

Different strokes for different folks, I say. I find Serene Booty jiggling to be hot as hell. I recognize that its not a mainstream thing that 'mainstream' America would find a strong, athletic, shapely, black female to be to their tastes, but for the sake of 'everyone else', let me just say yes there are MANY people…

By I35 corridor, I meant primarily Austin and San Antonio. Corpus Christi isnt on i35, but its part of the "south Texas 3" as in largest three cities in south texas.

I appreciate what I am seeing a lot of commentators say here, but I grew up moving around a lot in the late 80s-90s Texas, the Austin-to-Corpus Christi tri city I-35 corridor. Not exactly rural territory. The region was probably 50% hispanic 40% white and 10% black, and racism in schools was as normal as cell phones…

Poor taste? Yes. Douchey and cheap...absolutely.]

My only thought is just because there is no evidence that other animals did not evolve sentience does not mean its not so. The same random chances that allowed Mammals to evolve as such could have happened with reptiles, and amphibians before that, and fish before that etc etc. We know nature fills niches with similar…

Its probably a cultural thing, but I loved the film. All the way back in high school everyone I knew was a fan (going to a diverse high school means you get exposed to things a lot of other folks arent used to or dont understand).

I dont think the decision to make the 'bad guys' korean was necessarily rooted in fear mongering as some are saying (though I recognize there are serious potential perception problems with that...how would a korean american gamer feel playing this?)
