@a.seivewright: I love the brackets in your first paragraph- nice to see someone who considers the possible confusion of the vastly underpresented demographic of epic-haters and awful-lovers

@Dayburner: But remember the Confucian-inspired "harmonious" ideal that Chinese propagandists have been puking out for the past few centuries- uprising isn't percieved well in a culture that elevates collective stability over individual freedom. As long as the government appears to (to use an outdated phrase) hold the…

@Dayburner: large cities don't nessescarily mean increased unrest- look say, modern New York- pretty peaceful compared to say nineteenth century rural Russia

@Graviton1066: it "matters" in so much as the editors decided that it would be of interest to the readers of this fine blog. It's kinda how the whole blogging paradigm works infact ;)

Hmm, I seriously don't see a fratboy shooter letting you play as Jihadists, but I find it interesting that so many people think the idea of lilling NATO soldiers in a game totally repugnant- but many of whom would happily mow down civillians in GTA

@hdgotham (Hannah Wilson): I'm sure there's a Freudian answer (and some "intereseting" anime) to cater to your tastes ;)

@hdgotham (Hannah Wilson): But most artists have good and bad patches- give the dude a very Rodriguezish project like Deadpool and he might just have a personal rennaisance

@FrankenPC: Not to sound like a prat or troll, but does it matter?

@sephycloneno15: When are dictatorships/dystopias ever efficient?

@Anansi Boy: "I say, out after nine without a monocle?! Back to the Schemes with you!"

@Serge.: I'm loving imagining (in a slightly racist fashion) a scouse exhistential crisis- lots of "alright, alright" and Everton shirts ;)

@BobbinBrain: just one crumpet? Tight git!

@HK-47: yeah but you can't just try and rehash one great game forever- look at BioWare- great devs but they're endless rehashing of the same- elite society, several any-order locations, final combaty bit, is there biggest weakness
