" @StaticFalconar:   Korea =/= Race  Korea, as a single piece of land, is not a race.  It's a country.  People who come from there are Koreans, which are (if you want to be picky) Pacific Coast Asians (since Asia is really fucking big and encompasses a wide array of races).  Yes, I have this nagging issue with everyone that claims racism when another insulting a state.  It's like me being called a racist for insulting Great Britain when I'm American.

" Hey guys, have you heard about this thing called Freedom of Speech? It lets anyone, even douchebags, say what they want. I think that's pretty cool. "

I don't think politics should come in to play when discussing the review of a product (video game, movie, book, etc.).  It should be judged on its own merits.  I understand saying that the story premise seems a little odd and farfetched but to go on an Anti-North Korean and South Korean rant is unprofessional.
 
I don't think he needs to be fired.  But he needs to be reprimanded and taught what is appropriate for a review and what isn't. 

I think when people think about 'oldies' music (whatever that terms means to that person) they tend to think only of the good music.  I've listened to quite a bit of music from a lot of generations and I can say that the one thing that I've learned is there's always going to be good music and bad music.  Regardless of the generation of music discussed, there are just as many bad songs as there are good songs.  
 
So, to answer the OP; you're opinion is just as valid as mine.  But I would challenge you to look for bad music from the era of music you enjoy and good music from more modern eras.  I think you might see that the 'oldies' are quite as golden as they seem and modern music isn't as shitty as you might think.

I would like to see a new version of All Quiet on the Western Front.  I would want it to be somber and cold.  I wouldn't want it to be Saving Private Ryan with trenches but, rather, a little slower moving and without the big set pieces.  It would need to really emphasize what it was like to be in a war of attrition and how that affects the mind's of the soldiers just as the book intended.

I like how now this thread has become the spot where the Patriots(andBillMaher)AreGod and MrKlorox get to have their childish name calling contest out in the open for the rest of us to watch.
 
...where's my popcorn?

" @JasonR86: So in your opinion, the only way a game can influence a person to violent acts is "heat of the moment" things like those times people have been killed over games of Counter Strike or StarCraft. Moments which could have occurred in any competitive situation? "
