I got diarrhea just reading this.

I grew up with Saranac (upstate4life, or something), and I find then hit or miss. The pale ale, black forest...some excellent beers. A lot I don’t miss, though. Nonetheless, I can’t help but pick up a mix pack from time to time.

Moved to Boston about 10 years ago. Whenever I hear a Pats fan go on this tirade about how “they hate us cuz they ain’t us,” I’m always like, you know, it’s not even really the team itself, it’s you guys, the fans. You showed up 15 years ago, suddenly interested not so much in football but in bragging about how you…

So the logo is actually a lion. The only reason you are interpreting it as racist is because of the context that you know the corresponding NFL team has a racist nickname. The rest of the team names in this game are clearly derivatives of their corresponding NFL franchises, but none are really offensive in nature…

LT is the real enemy of Native Americans.

The man (woman?) who drives Gronk’s party bus isn’t fancy? Color me surprised.

It certainly has a lot going for it—great community, good replayability, beautiful game—I’d say it does a lot of things really well, but not sure it does any one thing at a mind-blowing level, and nothing about it seems ground-breaking to me (other than it being an MMO on a console, which is like saying the iPhone is…

I still play a lot too. I don’t know if I’d call it one of the best of the last few years, but it’s very good and fun to play with a good group you know.

Yes. Those are the rules.

I am actually of the mind that a well placed insult is part of healthy competition, so long as it is done in moderation and all in good fun.

That doorknob one gets me every time. I want to manufacture conversations online so that I can use it.

Oh, to hear Ron Swanson say, "But little did he know that his joints was wack." Except it's a bust, so it wouldn't say anything.

("Baggage" here being a flagrantly non-descriptive euphemism for sexual-assault allegations, plus a host of minor transgressions. Get used to it, because no one involved wants to talk about Jameis Winston's off-the-field history in anything but the blandest of terms. Here, let me blockquote an example.)

The reason I think your QED counterpoint about white people is irrelevant is because we're not talking about a problem with white people being poorly represented in video games. That's just flipping the script and creating false equivalency. It's not a problem, so it's not relevant to this discussion. Yeah, sure,…

But the whole point of this article is that you can tell, that the effect of the voice is problematic—the tropes, stereotypes—sure, part of that is design and writing, but if you had a black actor in there, maybe he'd say "I'm not going to say 'I'ma bust a fat cap in yo ass, honkey" when the idiot writers told him to.…

One's blackness is a defining characteristic. Read the article, they say as much. If you want an authentic portrayal of a black person, the black experience is vital. Without it, you end up with stereotypes, tropes and superficial expression. No white person can truly understand what it is to be black in this…

I would think the person most suited to voice act a black person would be—wait for it, because this is going to blow your mind—a black person. But maybe you're right, maybe it's just that white voice actors are just plain better at being black characters.

You didn't answer my question.
