« on: October 30, 2009, 11:01:41 AM »

well i guess im alone.  but then again so are the 4 people who bought the last 2 star fox games.  face it this series needs a jolt in the arm or its going to just die.  every one was pissed with metroid prime and that direction, until they played it.  i promise if you give me 1.5 years and a decent sized team and i can have starfox both re-imagined... and re-energized.

i remember a year or two ago there was a topic on the forum that i may have started... or at least took over about starfox.  i really really think the game needs a reboot.  i also would love to see it in a wing commander (if any one remembers these games) type of story and open world environment.  you would not be taking to much away from the core mechanics of starfox... however you would be updating it as far as what modern systems are capable of.  every one here needs to remember starfox was a big deal originally due to the cutting edge graphics of the time.  it also had a massive ad campaign behind it.  star fox 64 was a sequel to a massive game. and it had the rumble gimic with it.  all other star fox games were pretty much changed and buried by nintendo.

i was wondering after reading how famous musicians have come out against this game and so many on so many boards have i got to thinking.

after hitman came out were there statements by assasin groups deamonizing the games?
and what about car jackers with grand theft auto?
and how bout the plumbers union?


nope just with music games.

hey dasmos... i play guitar bass and drums in real life... im in a band.  but i play these games with people who dont know how to play music.

Me too man, but trolls will be trolls Even the one or two friends i'm still in touch with that play an instrument enjoy getting a kick outta these games, probably because they can only dream of playing a song like Hot For Teacher on a real guitar

Speaking of guitars, i gotta get a new amp and quick! My guitars getting dusty.

that is the thing.  some of these songs i have no chance of ever being good enough to play.  plus if you dont have the right set up its really hard to make some of these songs sound good any way.  unfortunately i don't have 3g's to plop down on amps and pedals right now.

bon jovi is probably the worst thing that ever happed to the human race... ever.  he is worse than slavory, worse than killing in the name of god, worse than nick cage even.  i cant prove it but im pretty sure that his music is the cause of cancer.

this is a really bad list in my opinion.  the face to face song is one of there worst.  why a live nirvana song.... why? not sure about the sonic youth song. the bronx song is terrible.  rammstein, well thats just garbage... and i really really really hate bon jovi.  the rest of the list is ok, but this has to be the most dissapointing guitar hero list ever.

has it been hard to find? i hope so, i went in to game stop the day after it came out and bought it and got a copy of the special edition.  the one you were only supposed to get if you reserved the game.  i wonder if there first shipment was just all spec ed's.

you know Mario games aren't the same thing over and over again.  punch out to super punch out had many many different boxers.  this only has one, I'm not saying this is bad.  i was going to buy this game any way... and I'm sure I'm going to love it, all I'm saying is i don't think this game is a 10 due to the lack of innovation.

you know i havent played this game yet but with that being said i can think of a few reasons why this isnt a 10.  the only one im going to list is there is only 1 new boxer, other than that its the same game we played for ever.  if they weren't going to give us a new experience why didnt they do that 5 6 7 years ago?

.

What I was talking about was the old MK1 Genesis vs SNES version. The Genesis version didn't have blood in it by default, but you can input a code to enable it. Don't remember that one being told to be toned down or face de-shelving...

.

that was before there were video game ratings.  that was when sega and nintendo policed themselves.  and they did a fine job of it.

you know i remember the mortal combat days with the snes and the genesis.  [..]  i dont care about blood i care about a good story and game play and non crappy graphics.

I have a feeling you were looking at the wrong game series then.

i have a feeling you took part of a quote out of context... i didnt do that to you.

you know i remember the mortal combat days with the snes and the genesis.  all my sega friends told me that MK was better on sega's platform cause there was blood in it.  but what they never really stopped to think about was it look and played better on the snes.  i dont care about blood i care about a good story and game play and non crappy graphics.  to write an entire blog about how the lack of blood takes away and how it should be in and what not takes away from the important things in a game.  game play and story.

that statement wasn't a racial statement. Probably a poor choice of words given the topic.

Yeah I know. I didn't actually mean to direct the link specifically at you either, it's for EVERYONE.

yea you may have offended someone with that.  i believe the correct term would be, its not a African American and European American  world.

The intended target of offence is actually white people who think that racism doesn't exist and that affirmative action (and other racial policies) put white people at a disadvantage.

For those who didn't bother reading the link I offered. Here is a song.

racism isnt dead... if any one thinks it is you should see the Detroit city council... they are probably the most racist people outside of a clan rally that you will ever see.

And if I'm misunderstanding you, and you actually do plan to make that change, you are just speaking about the racism issue as a whole, then we shouldn't be arguing anymore.

well i think we can be done arguing any how cause i never once typed that slur that i can remember.  i do see where your coming from and my original argument was not about the jap/jpn thing but about racism in general...

by the way that was the first time i typed said slur.

so let me just see if i can understand where your coming from.  you want me to constantly look over my shoulder when i say/type any thing to make sure im not offending any one.  is that what you want.  do you sit by the racist dictionary at all times when your monitoring this board and any others to make sure that you never say/type any thing that can be construed as racist at all times. 

i have alwayse made the point in all/most of my posts that i am not trying to harm any one intentionally... i was mearly trying to make the argument that you cant make all the people happy all the time and once and a while were going to say something wrong,  and with that i was only trying to also make the point that i am not going to apologies for an accident made with no ill intent.  thats all nothing more nothing less.

yea but at the same time now i have to look over my shoulder every time i speak and hope that i don't say something inadvertently racist to someone who may or may not be within earshot of me and my conversation. 

so either way the selfishness is going to be on display.

if you recall the original intent of this blog was to show that some people were being racist and didn't even know it... and my original comment was that unless you are trying to be racist your not.


if i walk down the street saying *** *** *** *** *** over and over again thats a dick move and not what im talking about.  that has the intent to hurt.  but the true selfishness comes when someone is trying to change the way you think and act so they are more comfortable.... what about me why don't i get to be comfortable... why do i have to worry about the words i say.


some of the most racist things i have ever heard came from the mouths of people who claim to be working for the minority's.

well what your advocating is not at all what i was trying to get to.  and as for when would it be worthwhile... well to put it simply it wouldn't.

now dont get me wrong im not saying that i would do stuff like that at work just to piss people off.  and im not saying that we should just poke the wounded bear so to speak just to get them to get over it.  im just saying i know there is no malicious intent behind what i say other than humor so im not going to change what i do.

and when you give power to the racist they have power...

At what point would it become worthwhile for you to make the change? If your co-worker was offended by it? What about your good friend? Your best friend? Your girlfriend?

i think the better question is at what point would  it become worthwhile for the offended party to get over it.  racism exists for 2 reasons.  the first is people are racist... and the second is people get offended by words.  when you take the power away from the racist they have nothing on you... but when you give the power to the racists than they have every thing on you.

i grew up a white fat kid in detroit.  i was the minority, i got crap handed to me all the time.. and it bothered me when i was 12.  im 30 now and i understand that when i get called fat ass or cracker/honkey/ whatever that there trying to gain power on me.  i wont let them.  and i am doing so much better for it now cause i took the power away... i don't let it bother me.

if the average person (in a minority group) would just look at how stupid a slur is and ask themselves why it bothers them they would probably laugh at themselves for being so stupid for years.


let me pose this question for the board... how many people here are a minority... and i don't mean not white... i just mean the only women in an office or the only white kid on  your block or the only asian (or if you would rather ntsc-j) guy in school. and how do these words affect you.  we have had a lot of discussion from what would seem the "majority" but nothing from the minority.

I think everyone is making good points as to how people can understand the context and learn to be less offended by it.

My beef, as James C. mentions in his blog post, is that it isn't that hard to change your habits when it comes to typing it. I'm pretty appalled that some just can't be bothered to do something so insanely simple.

and you know what would be even easier?  not being offended by every freekin word you see or hear.

were not racist any more we have obama as a president now.  and before any one gets all pissy with me or tries to get me suspended that was a joke.

the problem that most people have with racism, or at least should have is intent.  its all well and good for a black guy to throw the N-bomb but if a white guy does it than he's racist.  sorry, i wont let it work that way.  what the average pc jerk fails to realize is that when you get rid of a word that is derogatory all you are doing is setting up the new word to be derogatory.

take midget for example.  years ago this word was used to describe people with dwarfism.  then they felt that it was derogatory so now you are supposed to use "dwarf" or "little person".  im going to tell you what i think little person is more condescending that midget.  and what are we supposed to do 20 years from now when dwarf is considered derogatory... then we just call them the underdeveloped, or the chronically short.  it has to end somewhere, we have to lighten up as a society and not see every description turn to a racial attack.


now i understand where your coming from and what you are trying to say.  however, you also need to understand that intent on a word is far worse than the actual word. 

and now that i think about it, you should also realize that i used the word midget freely however i also used the word n-bomb instead of the actual word.  that should go to show that we all fell (and wrongly so) some racial and derogatory terms just dont hurt like others. 

its got to be fair across the board or just taken off.  thats the long and short of it.  its got to be fair game for all or for none.  so when the gansta rappers stop using it i will to.  cause i have just as much hate behind my jokes as they do in there songs.


and thats a real dialog about racist language.

i await your criticisms and what nots.

THey should've been more open ended about it. There should be an environmentalism phase and post apocalyptic phase, which shows the horrible society we'll have if nothing is done to combat global warming.

or like many other people believe you could have the global warming stage... then the global cooling stage... cause man made global warming is not very factual right now.
