Square Enix responds to Deus Ex racial controversy

@brettjr25 Except that there are people who talk like that. You don't know what you're talking about.

@TrtL06 Bullshit. There are white people who talk like that (or similar) and you know it. It's not racist - there is no intention of harming or disparaging the "group" being represented. You know that there are people who exist that talk like this! So if what they're doing is at all accurate, how can it be racist? Eidos and Square aren't telling the gaming population that this is how all black women sound. Watch BET for 10 minutes or a black comedian's stand up and the exact same sounding dialog will come up - it's just a representation of how some people are.

In this scene, she is a poor (probably uneducated) woman digging through trash, so her lack of eloquence isn't surprising.

Seriously. What person who lives in a relatively diverse area can tell me that they have never heard a black person act/talk in a stereotypical manner? I sure as hell know some stereotypical white people. I see the stereotypical Chinese person every day when I go to class. Putting someone who represents some facets of a stereotype does not make it racist. People who are too ready to throw out the "that's racist" card are making the word lose its meaning.

Skyrim mugshots give us a taste of race

I think the models look great except for Orcs. They look way too much like humans and the females actually look like the developers tried to make them look attractive. Orcs in TES are supposed to be hideous monsters in appearance. Also, the female Khajiits look pretty strange in comparison to the males.

I think the human/elven females look fine, but the other races' females look too much like the Imperial/Nord/etc. females. Whatever, I'm still super excited for this game.

New PS3 model drops HD Blu-ray display over component

@Mrblonde57 No they're not. If you have a CRT you aren't outputting HD content, anyway, so it doesn't matter. The PS3 will still play the BluRay as far as I understand.

Class action lawsuit alleges Sony layoffs made PSN vulnerable

@ColorblindMonk "Anonymous" will eventually get bored and the frequency of attacks will slow down, I'm sure. Do you remember/did you ever hear about the Scientology protests? I'm pretty sure those have died down considerably and *channers have moved on to something new.

Infinity Ward suit against Activision going to trial

@Prboi So you can only dislike corporations or people that directly affect you? That is a load of nonsense.

Starhawk takes Warhawk into the future on PS3

May 13th 2011 5:04AM (Joystiq)
I really hope the leveling up system will be changed drastically. I love Warhawk - I think it's one of the best games on the system - but it definitely has some problems and leveling up is one of them. It takes way too long to level up once you reach a relatively low rank and your only rewards are for looks only.

Report: Sony's PSN servers were up to date

@A Sandwich The guy saved himself by saying that he got this "knowledge" second hand and couldn't really confirm it, anyway, so there was no slander.

PSN outage costing Capcom 'hundreds of thousands, if not millions,' exec says

@ColorblindMonk DRM breeds piracy and is definitely one of the top reasons why people pirate.
