May 3rd 2010 11:46PM Sweet!!! Thanks for the info. I'm in SF :)

Capcom expects Lost Planet 2 to sell 3.7 million units in second half of fiscal year {Joystiq}

Nov 1st 2009 11:22PM Oh, getting killed in multiplayer subtracts from the team's total "respawn" meter. So if you die, everyone gets to respawn less. If the meter drains out and everyone dies finally, then it's game over.

Nov 1st 2009 10:38PM Spin your post? What the hell are you talking about?

Where in American society is calling someone a fa g not considered a form of bigotry? Where? There must be at least once place, if your opinion on this topic is to be considered worthwhile.

Surely this place must also be highly respected and considered a center of intellectual thought, too.

Nov 1st 2009 10:34PM Oh, and just so we're clear, I just managed to turn you into a "pussy" through a few mere words. Immediately after I insulted your group, you declared me an anti-Semite and then claimed your group has "suffered the longest."

I win, as usual.

Nov 1st 2009 10:32PM Israel is not relevant? You're a fu cking idiot. The Jewish American lobby is well known for its constant pushing of pro-Israel policies. If Jews are so smart and hard working, then why are they demanding the US subsidize the Jewish state with so much money? According to a quick Google search, the US has given $114 billion dollars to Israel.

If you truly believe Jews don't need a government handout, then I hope starting today you will demand Israel give back that $114 billion dollars to America.

Nov 1st 2009 10:27PM BPM, where in American society is saying "fa g" not considered a form of bigotry?

Middle school? Kindergarten?

Nov 1st 2009 10:17PM You are fu cking kidding me, Trance. Jews don't cry for help? The US govt has been funding the Jewish military machine in the Middle East since Israel was established. The US has given billions of dollars to your people. I think we should totally cut you bastards off and let you fight your own wars. God da mn, stupid Christians in this country funding your stupid country because they think the Bible is true.

Have you not read or seen the dozens of Holocaust movies and books out there, all showing Jews as helpless victims?

Nov 1st 2009 10:09PM Let's not forget that both Jews and blonde white women are considered very high up on the social hierarchy, though. If I was a billionaire Jew, I don't think a black person calling me a greedy Jew would be a big deal. Similarly, blonde white women are considered one of the best, if not the best, kind of women on the planet.

Meanwhile, blacks and gays (as a whole) are far lower on the social hierarchy, I think we can all admit.

Nov 1st 2009 9:58PM I agree with BPM. It's OK to be a bigot so long as your customers are bigots too.
This game could have commercials that outright say "Let's kill those sand ni ggers!" or "Islam is a joke and all of its supporters should be murdered!" and people would still be fine with this game, except for some left-wingers probably.

Nov 1st 2009 9:55PM FA GS is worse than pussies to me, but both are pretty bad. If I heard a male coworker call someone a pussy, and then he got fired by my female boss, I wouldn't come to his defense, that's for sure.

That being said, both words are pretty commonly used terms in the US military. Anyone ever seen Generation Kill? It's a miniseries closely based on the real life reporting of a Rolling Stone journalist.
There are lots of racist and sexist terms used in the US military, and white supremacists will openly talk about their views.

For example, coffee can be referred to as "November Juliet" and people will understand that in the military. What does November Juliet mean? Ni gger Juice. Uttering such a term in corporate or political life would destroy one's career overnight. But in the military, you're fine.

Militaristic video games have a interesting way of self-censoring themselves usually. Typically, all the racist and sexist stuff is left behind, while more neutral curse words are OK. The irony is that the games are supposed to be interpreted as "macho tough guys who don't care about being politically correct" types of games, yet it's obvious the game developers are being somewhat politically correct behind the curtains. Omission is a purposeful decision of any developer.
