Back to the issue ... at hand ... I think where the bullying he's talking about really comes in is online. Lack of female characters is unfortunate, but I don't think it's inherently sexist to make male-oriented game like Gears of War, and for people to prefer those games over most others. And as jgusw pointed out last time this got brought up, women will play games like that, too.

Which is where the main problem comes in: harassment of women in online play. Obviously, having never owned a current gen console or done any serious gaming online, I'm not a firsthand witness to it, but there are plenty of horror stories of dismissing female gamers online. There was also a recent twitter trend regarding a "grope gang" at a con a facebook friend linked to in a status of his. It is all apalling.

I forgot where I was going with this. I guess I was just agreeing with the video. Also, if Nintendo released like a DLC or something of the lost Shiek chronicles that filled in what happened in her parts of Ocarina of Time, I'd love to buy it.

I did before I commented, "female in the video" was a joking reference to porn viewing, not the escapist link. And I use a very powerful brand of lube, of course. Hopefully, people get that I'm joking. lol

I think a lot of people have that sentiment after last go-rounds' RRODs and whatnot. Being a Nintendo faithful for all the systems I owned, and sitting out last gen, I never had to worry about any of that, but there's clearly evidence these new home computers will shit bricks out of the gate, and I'm not willing to learn that the hard way, when I can just glean that lesson from others online.

Wait, was that a Clerks reference? I'm gonna pretend it was.

I took more of an afraid of the future approach when the XBO was first announced, and was kind of pissed that this was where we were going, but ultimately thought, "well, I sat out this gen, I can do it again." Then PS4 at E3 made me want one, but I'm still going to have to pony up the cash (by pony up, what I really mean is decide the student loan rate doubling doesn't affect me buying something as unnecessary as a Japanese gaming system, which may or may not happen depending on what jobs I land in the near future) to get one in the first place. At least it's the cheapest non-Wii U option.

Honestly, I'm wondering how much Microsoft actaully affected with the change, considering a lot of people complaining don't seem to have been planning on buying next gen at all according to comments. How true that is, I don't know, but food ... I got distracted.

You kidding? asrealasitgets, mothman, Nicelob, Cary, and a couple other people have the game. I'm honestly a bit surprised you were able to avoid those posts. lol

Well, first of all, I masturbate at least twice that amount in a day, but secondly, the female in the video has to be enjoying it to "get me there," and that's how I know I'm not a sexist.

In seriousness, I know the blogs you're talking about, and frankly, my stance is "white knight" and "feminazi" are both blanket terms that I don't care for, and people are too vague when discussing these things for me to care much or comment in most cases. Unlike me. Clearly.

Well, that's a shame, cause you and Yargz seem to actually have fun with the core gameplay. I think instead of having all these monetary requests, every game from now on should just have "Man of Steel" Superman flying around on screen, but with a bunch of logos, like that guy from Mystery Men.

Think about it,

I read "Shine Peacock Shine" to the tune of "Ride Captain Ride" by Blues Image. Well, that's not the lighthearted direction this went at all! lol

I've been lucky to have some pretty decent bosses, but I can definitely relate to the frustration with even those sometimes. Although they weren't always smiling. lol I shouldn't talk, I've probably come across this way that one year I was an assistant manager.

Maybe this guy acts that way cause he's a peacock with a pea cock? Now that, I can't relate to. Anyway, is this an old boss, or did you come out of retirement for a bit and get a jackass? Or is it about a boss at all?

I've never played Yakuza, but I do love objectifying virtual women for cheap virtual gains.

On a serious note, the combat sounds fun, but this sounds a lot like GTA, but with Japanese characters. In your mind, what really sets the series apart?

Really loved "This is Now" and really needed "There Is."
