Australia's game prices really are stupid when you make comparisons like this.

Man, you guys really have it bad, hopefully something will be done about the prices. I mean, it took forever to get you guys an 18+ rating for games, so there's hope.

I'm just pulling shit from Twitter now. In a "so stupid, it's hilarious" article, major news stations in the US decided to to a piece on recent video game tournaments. It seems that they homed in on one topic: "Girls play video games."

No fucking shit, America. You guys still don't know this?

It's because the general 'image' of a gamer in the minds of those in America who are ignorant of the truth, be it intentional or no, is an obese, 40-year-old man living in his mother's basement. We're still just as stereotyped as any other group, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

Of course! How else are they going to learn new recipes from cookbooks? [shot.]

But yeah, nothing I can say could completely state how incredibly stupid that was.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

To be fair, gamers apparently haven't learned that lesson. Publishers either: for instance, Remember Me almost didn't get published because your character kiss a man in the game and it would apparently make gamers feel too icky.

One of my favorite games features a female protagonist, and no, I'm not talking about Bayonetta, although that is one of my favorites. It's just not the one I'm referring to.

EDIT: Also, I was let down because you made it sound like there might have been a gay kiss, Sandie. I am sad now. ;_:

Remember Me doesn't have that kind of customization.

Also for all this "immersion" talk, we certainly like to be solidified in one powersuited stereotype
