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)? |

So basically lying is only bad if you're caught huh? "GUY WHO OUTRANKS YOU: Take Superfly here and reconfooble the energymotron."
|
|
I did not have sex with that woman! "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
Or any other. |
|
Yes, I did, and I have the crying baby to prove it! "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
That's just sick, man. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)" - FoRmaT
|
|
#804 by FoRmaT Yes, I did, and I have the crying baby to prove it! Joker would write something like that.. "GUY WHO OUTRANKS YOU: Take Superfly here and reconfooble the energymotron."
|
|
My kiddy is prettier than Joker's. (He must have been lucky and must have received more genes from his mum than from me :)) "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

#804 by FoRmaT Yes, I did, and I have the crying baby to prove it! I know you're trying to be funny on purpose, but since it's probably the sad truth... man, just stop i already. 30k was a nice thing to pull off, sure, but you're back where you've left off. Not really surprising, but have a little pride, for goodness' sake. If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

Hey, so you didn't like my joke. No big deal, is it? Come give me a hug, you grumpy one! "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

Even your gaggle impression sucks. If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

For anager. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

Who are you're trying to channel now? I think I've lost track. If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

I'm channeling my desire to keep it peaceful this time. Teflon Don, nigga! Teflon! "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

What, no "homeboy's got rhythm"? I'm disappointed. If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

Hey, yotsuya, there's something I wanted to ask you; Do/did you rise your child(ren) bilingually (is that correct to say?)? My wife and I want to do that, but I find it very hard to be consistent with it... As my wife speaks very little German, I'm talking Spanish the whole day. I know I shouldn't, but some force is driving me to continue to speak Spanish to my kiddo too, it's hard for me to switch languages all the time. What has your experience been with this whole multilanguage thing? "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
FoRMaT- My wife is bilingual, and I'm not. I speak very little Spanish, so that isn't an issue. Our older kids understand enough Spanish to get by (aqua, comida, and the like), but we couldn't have a conversation with someone who speaks nothing but Spanish. I'd like to learn it, and I'd like my 6 year old to learn it, but it's not vital. I mean, we live in America. Everyone I know and interact with speaks the same language I do. I don't have any relatives who speak nothing but Spanish. I'm third generation Mexican-American, so it's not like we hold sacred the mother tongue or anything. |
|
Conversely, I could have said, "What, just 'cause I'm Mexican-American you think I speak Spanish and wear a sombrero?!?!?!", but it's nice to have you back, homie. :) |
|
Wait, you don't wear a sombrero?! What's the point of being Mexican if you don't use it as an excuse to wear a sombrero?! Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

He does wear a poncho, though, and has one of those long, droopy mustaches. Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.

Well I'd hope so. Next he's going to tell us he doesn't take a siesta every afternoon. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

I dunno if I'm supposed to act German and drink a flagon of ale during lunch and come back to work drunk and miserable, or if I'm supposed to act Irish and drink a few pints of stout during lunch and come back to work drunk and angry. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

CheesyPoof (#823): I dunno if I'm supposed to act German and drink a flagon of ale during lunch and come back to work drunk and miserable, or if I'm supposed to act Irish and drink a few pints of stout during lunch and come back to work drunk and angry. Both! |

He throws oranges like a motherfucker. 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."

He fucks mothers like an orangethrower. |
|
Thanks yotsuya. In our case, I want my son to learn Spanish because all his family from his mothers side is Spanish-speaking, and also because we might move back to Spain some day. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
That certainly seems like a good reason. Also, it's always a good thing to know another language. What about English? |
|
It's mainland Europe, I assumed English would be coming in with the milk. Bilingualism pretty much guaranteed, or at least I hope so! So Spanish would be, like, the third language to learn. Pretty good language choice though, used in many places. And I hear it's very similar to Mexican! *cough* So yot, do you get to take the day off for El día de Muertos and whatever other crazy things movies portray as Mexican culture? Seems like a waste to not (ab)use your heritage at least a little.. "GUY WHO OUTRANKS YOU: Take Superfly here and reconfooble the energymotron."

Also, do you fire pistols in the air when happy? MP3 Of The Week: Pete Rodriguez - I Like It Like That.mp3 (?)

The English lessons, in school back in Spain at least, are total shit. 99% of all Spaniards I know/knew would not have a bigger repertoire than "fuck, thank you, please" and five words or so more, I kid you not. In Germany, it seems to be being tought better, (or Germans have more talent for learning languages, who knows) because most adults seem to at least understand quite a bit, but nowadays you are pretty much forced to know English anyway, because of all the English that's being introduced more and more into the German society. Scandinavian children do amaze me with their English skills. Back when working at the hotel, it wasn't unusual to see Danish or Swedish ten-year olds who spoke incredibly good English. If we stay here, I'm confident he'll get good at speaking English. If we, however, go back to Spain, I'll help him learn it as good as I can. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

If I have a chance later, I'll post a manifesto on the state of being a Mexican-American in 21st Century America. And as far as 'Mexican' holidays go, no, I don't celebrate them. In fact, in Mexico Cinco de Mayo is a minor holiday, kinda like Arbor Day here. It's celebrated here in the US just an excuse to drink and eat at the taco bar. Dia de los muertos is a fascinating holiday, but you don't see people celebrating in their homes or anything like that. You only see it celebrated by cultural organizations. |
|
We need more drinking and taco holidays. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

I'm so Mexican I just had fondue for dinner tonight. |

lwf is a fucking douchebag. |

Seriously, on my 6th playthrough of Mass Effect. Love all of the differences of class and background choice.

Ain't nothing wrong with illusions of choice. Also, anyone tried the expansion? Is it good? "Braid breaks one of my personal most fundamental rules of games design within minutes of starting - they have timed puzzles."
|
|
I enjoyed the game and all, but I can't imagine playing it six times. |
|
gaggle (#839): Ain't nothing wrong with illusions of choice. Also, anyone tried the expansion? Is it good? I was curious about that too. I have the game, but haven't played it, and the DLC is on sale. Is it worth getting, and should I get it before my first play through? |
|
jjohnsen (#840): I enjoyed the game and all, but I can't imagine playing it six times. I can't imagine playing it a second time. I got sick of hearing the exact same dialog despite picking different options just from dying and having to replay sections. Then again, I'm not on what bago's on. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."
|
|
I tried a second time and made it about 30 minutes in. |
|
Apparently you had to restart the game to play the expansion? Not a chance. |
|
No, you just have to have a save available prior to your return to the big space station. Also, be warned: the expansion is really difficult. Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.
--Flowers |
|
I didn't think it was so difficult, and it was fun. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.
|
|
Well, I was getting my ass handed to me over and over, which hadn't been my experience with the rest of the game. Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.

This game is all about the multiple playthroughs. If you're the sole survivor you get to know the guy who is killing the scientists from Akuze. If you Do the Torfan ruthless bit the Major Kyle story is part of your background. The order you tackle the missions is important to the dialogue, in addition to the whole renegage/goodguy bit. You can stumble upon a plot in progress by landing on a random planet, or actually talk to everyone and get the clues that lead you to the interesting planets. Your only real goal is to kill Saren, and you can even talk him into doing that.

Yotsuya, you're from Arizona, right? How do you feel about it as a place to live? This last trip over to the US made me realise how much I like it over there, and how sick I am of my own country, and that I'd be a fool not to take the opportunity and move. I've been to Arizona and liked it for the dry heat, rather than the nightmare humidity you get in most of the other states I've visited. Is it culturally part of the South, or is it more like Florida or California? Moat.

If you liked the dry heat, they have plenty of it for you. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.
