Thanks for the link! This show looks legit can't wait to listen.

And I agree with your sentiments on the timing of GOTY for 2020. Feels a little anticlimactic to have it in January.

Thank you! Really wish they were more clear on their communication here with their dates, but I imagine it must be extra difficult this year.

Beginning/Middle/or End of January?

I signed up to applaud a games journalist, no less, for having the steel to apologise and admit that the original article posted was shit. Well done, it's a rarity.

As for OPM, well selling those rags in the year 2011 is hard work.

well said

So uh, any idea what Greg has been up to these days? You know, being part of the original Gamespot crew and all...

Sony is kind of killing it on the box art lately.

" I'm half Mexican...don't take myself too seriously, but I think it's interesting that they probably wouldn't ever say "Imagine waking up and remembering you're Black" or "a Jew". "

Pretty sure Mexicans haven't been subjected to the same amount of racism and prejudice as black people and Jews. "

This segment is pretty hurtful. It was especially hurtful when the commentators made a joke about the supposedly painful realization of waking up and realizing that you are a Mexican. I understand that it can be said in good fun without the intent to insult anybody, but people have to realize that merely because someone has good intentions does not necessitate that their actions result in a positive outcome. Sure you may find it funny, but you find it funny at the expense of everyone else being laughed at.
 
For people saying everyone needs to grow up and chill out, there needs to be a little more empathy. I'm not suggesting everyone has to suppress their thoughts and feelings, but rather people need to educate themselves. It's all too easy for people from privileged groups to ignore the realities people from disadvantaged groups face. I'll give a few examples:  
 
Unfortunately I don't have specific information on white vs. mexican relations but the following accurately describe relations between privileges of dominant groups vs. disadvantages of lower status groups, and I can provide citations for my information if they are requested.

White privilege vs. Black disadvantage

• White's are less likely than blacks to be arrested; once arrested, they are less likely to be convicted , and once convicted, less likely to go to prison, regardless of the crime or circumstances. Whites, for example, constitute 85 percent of those who use illegal drugs, but less than half of those in prison on drug-use charges are white.
• Whites are more likely than comparable blacks to have loan applications approved and less likely to be given poor information or the runaround during the application process.
• Whites are charged lower prices for new and used cars than are people of color, and residential segregation gives whites access to higher-quality goods of all kinds at cheaper prices.
• Whites can choose whether to be conscious of their racial identity or to ignore it and regard themselves as simply human beings without a race.
• etc...

• In most professions and upper-level occupations, men are held to a lower standard than women. It is easier for a "good but not great" male lawyer to make partner than it is for a comparable woman.
• Men can generally assume that when they go out in public, they won't be sexually harassed or assaulted just because they're male, and if they are victimized, they won't be asked to explain what they were doing there.
• Male representation in government and the ruling circles of corporations and other organizations is disproportionately high.

• Heterosexuals are free to reveal and live their intimate relationships openly---by referring to their partners by name, recounting experiences, going out in public together, displaying pictures on their desks at work---without being accused of "flaunting" their sexuality or risking discrimination.
• Heterosexuals can rest assured that whether they're hired, promoted, or fired from a job will have nothing to do with their sexual orientation, an aspect of themselves they cannot change.

• Nondisabled people can live secure in other people's assumption that they are sexual beings capable of an active sex life, including the potential to have children and be parents.
• Nondisabled people have greater access to education and health care. They are less likely to be singled out based on stereotypes that underestimate their abilities and be put in "special education" classes that don't allow them to develop their full potential.
