Can't really disagree with any of that. I actually deleted my .exe files of the Sonic trilogy when I learned they were being legitimately sold on Steam for a not-awful price. But then I never ended up buying them, I just erased the emulations from my hard drive cause my "bargain bin doesn't help the creators" excuse was invalidated, so they honestly did not lose money either way.
That's similar to how I feel. If the only place I could find something is in an obscure bargain bin where the money would not go to the creators anyway, then screw it. However, if I can support someone by buying a product, I will if I can. Meaning I'll either buy it or go without.
I can dig what was being said about feeling a bit on the sidelines and in a gray area with some of these feminism issues. A lot of women have a mentality somewhat closer to men about this stuff, even if it's not necessarily the norm.
For instance, I can see why people are put off by the body types in Dragon's Crown, but I've talked with females on Pixlbit that don't mind the big ol' titties at all (and in fact are lesbian or bisexual and kinda like 'em) and in my case, I just think it looks ridiculous and maybe even juvenille, but so do some of the male models in the game.
Where I think I can be a little more easily persuaded to take a side is when the gaming culture takes a bad turn in real life, like the "fake girl gamer" crap that happened at a con recently, where females got that label slapped on them literally, and sometimes in personal places. I'm a lot more comfortable saying that's definitely harassment than I am saying a depiction of an impossibly endowed woman is part of a larger conspiracy to enslave every mammal with a vagina. And yet, having just made that hyperbolic straw-man like the asshole I am, I can understand that more realistic and strong depictions of females like Faith in games is certainly a good thing, and can certainly understand oversexualization of females in media as a legitimate problem for female gamers.
I do wish the female bloggers would comment on the topic more; in fact, the specific reason I usually (usually) refrain from commenting on blogs on the topics is that I rarely see the female side of this community weighing in (sadly, I think rangergirl's blog is an exception to the norm), and I would prefer to have a discussion, not cheer or jeer a rant about what Sarkeesian did wrong now.
That's not to say I haven't enjoyed some of those male-written blogs I didn't comment, or that I don't think there's valid points in them or that men just shouldn't speak at all on the topic (I just did), I just wish the discussion about feminism on this site were less of a sausage fest, and realize the irony in my comment not helping things in that regard.
Yoshimitsu was my favorite character to use in Tekken. I usually use Nightmare in SCII.Or Link, since I had a Gamecube. Actually, maybe I used Link more.
Damn, you stole my answer.
Non-pervert answer: Fox McCloud, provided his friends aren't at the space party. Krystal can come, but that's it, then we'd head out to a space bar and find more people to drink space tequila with and then hop back into the Arwing. I'd never drive drunk in real life, but given the chance to fuck around in a death machine in space after a fine beverage in a world without consequence for a day sounds nice.
See... I don't like the first one, I thought it was more cheesy and boring. So I don't know how much I care about this, but I guess I wouldn't mind it.
Evil Dead II on the other hand was hilarious and I need to finish it.
That one's cel shaded, too! Might go on my list!
Well, I think it's an allegory for Japanese Imperialism the way the Fire Nation's reign in Avatar The Last Airbender was. It's just more subtle here. Really subtle.
Being white means always having to say you're sorry ... do you always play with Talim in SCII?
I saw Oldboy on Netflix and it was one of the strangest, intense, disgusting, and impressive things I've watched. I am not liking this American trailer, to be honest. Makes it look too normal. I mean, I'm sure the very abnormal twist is still in there, but I am not a fan of the style it looks like the movie is taking on.
Spike Lee is an interesting choice for director, but it looks pretty meh; something the original certainly was not. I will hold my judgment until it comes out, but I'm not expecting much.
