About the same time Seattle started getting salty about the loss of their Supersonics...

Perhaps, but he's pretty on the money when it comes to Gawker journalism :p

Well, the thing is, RE6 did make a profit at 5 million sold, it just didn't reach the 7 million sales they wanted it to hit, and thus allowed Capcom to put blame on it for the failure to increase stock prices. On top of that, it was a flagship release for a good long period, so to them, it was a 'failure'. Yet,…

I think you're estimating the amount of clout he or his development studio has. Just because he has made some popular franchises doesn't mean he just gets a free pass, particularly in Japan.

Getting outside funding for artistically creative endeavors is ALWAYS difficult, I would imagine just as much so for videogames, that while they do pull in huge amounts of revenue, the average game doesn't earn much in net profit, and therefore can still be considered a risk.

I agree with you, but we might just be a bit spoiled by 1000 Pounds Studios :p

The software most likely isn't the same, so they would have to work with completely new parameters to work completely with every dialect. It's not simply just sorting what words are used where, but stripping the dialect from background noise, variations in a single person's tone, and such that has to be anticipated.…

Also a reference to when Raphael took over the Foot Clan as the new Shredder :p

Um, just because the New York Times cycles out their articles doesn't mean the info isn't valid. Let me give you another link: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000…. You'll note the map on the page, which shows a 10-15% increase of interracial marriages in most southern states. And before you state that's not much,…

Actually I was just presenting another perspective on that; in truth, there's not much you can tell from any of these statistics. Even if blacks were the primary source of ebony porn, is that the only porn they're searching? What percentage of blacks are only searching for ebony porn? What percentage of whites? How…

It's still not even considered a failure, it just didn't reach projected figures. Unless they didn't make any net profit off of it (which they did, including DLC), it can't be considered a failure. Reaching projected sales only states that the game pretty much printed money for them, and provides stock holders…

That's perspective, then. If he feels happy maintaining an artistic perspective and being successful in his own parameters, then more power to him. As it is, a lot of people bought RE6, and considering the online stats for RE.net (especially during online events), a lot of people still consider the game pretty fun.…

Here's a better way to look at it. Because of the higher ratio of AAs in those states, whites there have gotten accustomed to the appeal of black men and women, rather than retaining a disdain against race mixing, as preached by the KKK. thus also potentially increasing the desire to mingle.

Well, there ARE other races than blacks and whites, so I wouldn't put that population at 40%...

It's peculiar when a game that can sell 5 million copies (Resident Evil 6) is still considered a failure. It didn't meet Capcom's projected sales, but I don't think it should be considered a failure...

Soooooo, if someone hacks your bank account, and withdraws funds, you're totally okay with that? Because digital numbers that represent your account balance isn't actually cash, but a promised allotment by your bank...

You should totally stop paying for your insurance then, since it's not a 'physical item' as you put it. I guess you should also not get any goods or services in return for anything you pay for with money, since it only represents intangible concepts like worth...

Not even including my issues with the PS1 (to which Sony blew me off twice and my third PS1 started skipping—the third one being before the final remodeling), I had a friend who decided to do freelance repair for game systems after he got out of vocational school and the most common problem for any system at the time…

I have a problem boning women menstruating, and I would like to keep my intimacy between the two of us, and not share the experience with any maggots or worms she may be harboring...

I dunno about that. waking up in a coffin next to a decaying body would freak me the hell out...
