I feel like we shouldn't need this long of an article to explain that anthropomorphic animals aren't not what they very obviously are.

Awkward localization was a common plague of the PlayStation era. It was, in my estimation, a fantastic title with a common problem of the day. So was Final Fantasy Tactics.

That's a journalism standard practice, actually. Typically you need to be able to verify the veracity of a source and it's almost impossible with social media reports. It might be a dated practice but not a biased one.

Mainstream news is being denied entry into the city and mainstream reporters on the ground have been arrested. Still, National Public Radio has been covering the situation.

Was it the councilwoman who appeared on All Things Considered last night? That would make a sort of totalitarian sense.

What? Women in iconic rules? Not just a single token woman, either? Blasphemy! Rabblerabblerabble!

Every subculture has their rude elements. How often do people look down on genre works in movies, literature or TV?

Minectaft guy is likely more recognizable than Washington or the original painting Sony parodied here.

Damn it, I recognize Not-Felicia Day... I can't quite place her, though...

I'm oddly satisfied with your uniquely non-apocalyptic coverage of this. What would be remarkably amusing would be if there were a new installment in the SaGa franchise, though. The trademark claims would get much more interesting then, if King was dumb enough to challenge.

Not shocked by this. Particularly because this article is risking earning the subject a cease and desist.

A lot of comments seem focused on discussing the merits of Mass Effect, and that's whatever, but is anyone going to point out how painfully bad this 'blueprint' is? Like, painfully bad.
