Lots of players on xbox360

How are we suppose to play The Rapture Metro Pack add on? I play and play and play... Never ever get to play on those maps. I have seen people get the achievements but I am miles away. Do anyone have a strategy other than patience times infinity to play those maps?

I just saw one of the videos on this site (First look Nintendo Land) and I had to turn down the audio after 30 sec cause the annoying BS nonsense that spewed out of their mouth was unbelievable I do not watch videos on this site cause I like stand-up or "funny" nonsense. I want people with game insight telling me what they think about a game, console or franchise in a semi-serious manner. If I want stand-up I go on youtube.

Honestly, this might be the wrong site for you, then.

Also, it's Quick Look, they made like a thousand of them.

First look, quick look. Who the eff cares? The point is; Giant Bomb crew is not funny, and at times annoying as hell. On a game page you would believe they had some knowledge of games and could tone down the "hahas". At least offer some more insightful videos for those who would like that.

I dont think that is too much to ask.

Definitely not my friends, school or even the media portrayals of muslims. It was a lot of things I guess, but most of all knowledge. I just couldn't seem to agree with a lot of the things that the Quran claimed, because so much of it is simply against hard science.

I thought of it like this: If I'm judging a murder case with two suspects, should I choose the suspect with the most and best proofs or the one who I just "feel" is guilty? There were just too many things pointing against Islam for me to accept it. I still think you can learn a lot of positive things from it, but to follow a religion I think you should believe everything it says and that just wasn't the case for me.

I see. What knowledge do you have in mind? Physics, biology, cosmology, things read on reddit? I sometimes wonder why it is that evolution (and all the sciences) have been taught in Norwegian schools for decades as a fact without people stop believing in a God, but now in the last 10-20 years something is changing? To me it seems to be a cultural shift I am very skeptical towards and the reason behind, a mystery.

There is nothing wrong about being Christian, Muslim, Agnostic or Atheist as long as you arent a smug a**hole about it and dedicate your life to prove others wrong and ridiculing them for not being "reasonable". The world, the universe and life is no less a riddle with or without a god.

But what fascinates me @Mushir is that I to live in Norway and from a Christian to a former Muslim I would like to know what sort of "awaken" you to not believing in a god. Norway has slowly moved from a relaxed christian culture to a more depressed secular culture just in the past 10-20 years and I have to wonder why? Its not that we have become more "reasonable" as many atheist believe, cuz we have known of evolution, physics, science implications for 150 years now, but only the last 20 years there has been this growing hostile anti-religious atheist movement in Norway. Was it your friends, the school, the knowledge you have learned, media portrayals? Do you remember when and why did you think; there cant be a god here?

But it's absolutely true. The reactionary response to any topic regarding females in video games is silly, as is bringing up irrelevant nonsense like the Feminist Frequency. You guys need to grow up.

Yes, that shut me up. Especially the "need to grow up" part. Insightful.

I'm not trying to get you to shut up. I'm simply having a discussion with you. You do need to grow up, or at least try to stay on topic.

Who are you to say anyone should grow up? That is the question my irony obviously didnt convey. That is so patronizing. First, I am probably by age older than you (but that is a guess), secondly, to be against feminism pointless progressivism PC speech and leftwing dominians in definitions and discourse is not immature but important. I reserve the right to question why people want any character choice above others.

Is there a white male dominans in non optional characters? Yes. Is that a problem? No. Why isnt it a problem? Cuz if it was it would have been changed.

Game creation is not a part of nature and has an intelligent design based on marked. More white males play and therefor identify with white male protagonist than black women. I dont go to Japan and complain that the signs are not written in Norwegian. To complain that games are too male oriented or whatever, is much the same. To expect that the world should dance to preferences that is not wanted or needed by people who do not share the -isms.

There were a lot of black people in RE5, after a white dominating games before. At once racism was called out because the zombies where black. That is also the VERY VERY important point of why there are so few female and black characters... If they are portraid in anyway negative light (most characters need character flaw to be interesting) some crazy lefty will call racism or misogyny on that. I dont know why the San Andreas Black character was not called racist.

Oh yeah, what's with those videos anyway? Shouldn't she give the money back? Where are those videos?

And booth babes who work for fighting games during conventions apparently don't know jack shit about those games according to Klepek, so don't just throw around nonsensical crap like 'female protagonist'. Why does the gender of the protagonist(s) matter?

I just found this video today

This woman and her annoying attitude. I have seen some of her "work" deconstructing popular culture and give passive aggressive snarls at any entertainment that isnt 100% PC and gynocentric. Often she doesnt get the point of what she is analyzing (i.e finding rape themes in christmas songs, loving series and movies for their correct representation of women and then being disappointed when those shows or movies walk astray in later seasons and sequels, thinking ironic characters are suppose to be taken serious etc.)

I bet that is what will come from her game focus.

I do not approve of all the hate comments she has gotten (way to many angry people online), but she truly is a BH. She is an elite cold fish and nutcracker. Also, she is not that bright.

You can't ask "why am I being silly" and use the word "manginas" in the same sentence. You just can't.

Yes, I can. I just did. Mangina is a fitting word for men who identify more with women and their rights and representation over their own sex and issues.

You said: "First I'd like to just point out that everyone does not think like you."

Thank you. Very enlightened.

You said: "Just because you don't care about the gender or ethnicity of your character in video games, doesn't mean that no one should. "

I agree. That is not the issue here. The issue is that too many nauseating feminist and manginas believe that whining about things make a difference. That change is talking about how they miss female characters in games instead of 1) Buying games that have female leads they find interesting (giving game creators reasons to make more games like that) or 2) make their own games with female leads. But no, instead they make a wish list, trying to make something come out of the air. Caring calls for action not just ranting, deconstructing and complaining.

You said: "I was really excited when it was announced that GTA San Andreas would have a black protagonist and I was really excited when it was announced that GTA IV would have a non-American protagonist."

Why? To me it just seems you have a xenophile perception. Its very common to people being exposed to too much leftwing BS. Many, many games have explored this issue. "Fish out of water" game stories are plentiful.

You said: "Just like any unexplored narrative would be."

There are no unexplored narrative.

You said: "If you're going to intentionally misinterpret people longing for a new perspective in a GTA game as "forced progressiveness", then yes, you are being silly. The fact is that you're the only one being over-sensitive here. Someone simply going, "Dang, it would have been cool to play as a female character this time," has sent you into a frothing mix of ignorance and shortsightedness."

Well, the problem is the manginas who think they shimmer when they say/write some PC BS. They say they long for something that already exists, and wish that games that work would adapt to their -ism oriented needs. But what will always be funny is how little aware they are of how bigoted they truly sound.
