I mean, I don't go out of my way to avoid authors of a particular ethnicity. Generally speaking, I can't even remember the name of an author unless I really like the book(s) - but I do admit that many of ones that immediately come to mind are white, so I guess I need to start reading different books

To be fair, some news media networks still think we're a bunch of mass-murderers and sociopaths. Killing Americans in a video game won't really tarnish the reputation of gaming that much (either people already think video games are evil (a demographic that luckily seems to be shrinking) or they...

To be honest, I think Stanley Parable is a bit overpriced if you don't buy it on sale. It is occasionally quite surprising and includes excellent examples of narrative, but other times it just feels run-of-the-mill unusual/wacky, if that makes any sense (that is to say, parts of it didn't really...

Wow, a lot of responses generated here. Which is somewhat of a testament to Sarkeesian's notoriety more than anything else. I mean, are we really surprised about any of this article? Is there anything new here? Bob has been on this stint about equality in new media for quite a while (to the...

I like the direction they've taken their Kajiit. I know they're supposed to be dirty thieves and whatnot, but from what I saw they've been given a more noble, lion-like aesthetic. I like the idea of playing an elf, but not so much in Elder Scrolls. I applaud Bethesda for not just making mer...

On the topic of how sympathetic the pirates are: The way Abdi (Muse) says his line about how they are fisherman sort of led me to believe that he was just making a blatant lie. In fact, I was actually kind of confused when Tom Hanks (Phillips) held onto that concept and told the pirate that...

Jim, I think I've said this before, but you really should consider voice acting. I would buy any game if you're the villain in it.

Rutger, if we were to go by your definition of something being a choice, all of the following would also be choices: Heterosexuality Gender Ethnicity Etc. You shouldn't be scrutinized for being who you are. Yes, homosexual individuals can choose to not "act upon" their feelings and...

What irritates me most isn't that there will be sequels. It irritates me that there will be ANNUAL sequels. Assassin's Creed after Assassin's Creed of samey, Call of Duty-style multiplayer-focused gaming with a watered down story. And this will eventually happen to everything that Ubisoft...

Or, even better, make the challenge to get the highest score on vocals on the easiest difficulty. Then put a desk fan in front of your microphone and walk away.

F***, someone beat me to it. Weird as it sounds, Yu-gi-oh's probably the game I'm best at, even if it's not the one I play most often. As long as he doesn't have access to what I call the "asshole cards" (the ones that destroy half of the cards on your opponent's field for no cost like Raigeki)...

Since you are on this site, you are probably aware of the storm of criticism surrounding Microsoft's latest console, the Xbox One. It requires an internet connection, you are no longer allowed to own games that you buy, the Kinect is always watching you and writing down your dirty little secrets...

Deus Ex: Human revolution, despite being my favorite game of all time, had just about the worst main villain group I've ever seen. It's the freaking Illuminati. And guess what? They want to take over the world. Now, they are surprisingly vague on just how they plan to do this. Yes...

While this arguement does hold up in most genres, it doesn't quite apply to multiplayer, first person shooters. Chances are, if you wait four months to play it, they've released DLC, which is going to double your cost of entry and is essentially required to play the game. If you wait for them to...

This is the best option. I would be sure to include "I know that outwardly he appeared to violently hate his enemies and only love his friends, but I'm sure on the inside he actually tried to follow Jesus's teachings." I think this neatly explains how anti-gay protesters are wrong.
