You Filthy Gaijin...
April 12th 2008, 02:05 CEST by Greg

The Japanese are at it again, showing they have no idea how to broach racially sensitive topics in games.

Recently, Capcom released a trailer for Resident Evil 5. In it, Chris Redfield is in a town which looks to be Caribbean, populated by black people who apparently turn into zombies. Which he then has to kill, or something.

The imagery from the trailer is controversial. Is it meant to reflect history? Is it yet another example of Japanese game developers playing off of racial stereotypes (ala Barret in FFVII, hell the topic name "filthy gaijin" is yet another Japanese stereotype)?

And since we're all playing this game, here's my personal ranking:

Nemo > Incredibles > Toy Story > Cars > Toy Story 2 > Monsters > Rat >  A Bug's Life

I'm a big superhero nerd, so I'd put Incredibles first and probably Cars and Rat last. Other than that, all good.

Really?  All of you like Toy Story 2 less than the original?  For some reason I just liked the story more, my daughter prefers the first one as well because she says it isn't as sad as the second.

I like the whole Sid plotline. The second one was probably funnier, but the first had a better story.

I'm not sure I ever saw toy story 2.

Perhaps I should be downloading all of these movies to help finance what's left of my sanity during the coming 100+ hour dynasty warrior six 100% achievement extravaganza / fiesta / fiasco / doomsday plot.

I have my fingers crossed that Pixar will never attempt another sequel. That road is fraught with peril.

When you stop caring about your personal appearance, or if you just simply want to scare off women.

This is so fucked up it deserves its own sig.

Sabrina Poirier, a student at Pensacola who withdrew in 1997, was disciplined for what is known on the campus as "optical intercourse" — staring too intently into the eyes of a member of the opposite sex. This is also referred to as "making eye babies."

Of course keeping in mind that Toy Story is still better than every Shrek Movie, so that's the scale  was going by.

Yes, but at that point space will be affordable, and consequently stowed out with filthy slack-jawed peons and their poorly-behaved spawn, snorting and guffawing at the oh-so-humorous zero-g toilet facilities. Honestly, who'd want to share the heavens with such vermin?

His father is getting old, maybe Garriott wants space while his father is around to see it?

It does sounds pretty extreme, but I guess they call it once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for a reason.

Being in space might be fun and a good way to impress girls, but if I could save money doing so, I'd be fine with just having the experience simulated and then just telling girls I was really in space.
