I've only read up to page 3 in this thread, so I apologise if this has been said already. Shaft's blackness is intrinsic to his character. He fights racist bad guys, almost every scene has him beating the shit out of someone for saying something nasty about black people. Luke Cage's...

Seriously, man, without the Special system, this is a worthless poll.

You fucking joking? Kingdom Hearts and everything about it is AWESOME, and everyone I know agrees with me.

No, see, you wouldn't notice everyone ELSE quicksaving and quickloading, just your own. However, the one problem with this is that some people would have diametrically opposed goals. They would quickload forever, until one of them realised that it was futile. It's a great argument for...

War. War changes everything. These are the words that have been ceaselessly rolling through my head for the last five months, as I hear them over and over again from my laptop. My old, borrowed laptop with only one game on it. Fallout 2. It's not fair. Spore was coming out in just a few...
