EA employees talk gays 'n games

Written by Random J •

This just made me smile. I think it's great to see the games industry pull something like this, and for a company as big as EA to be the ones to do it. Personal feelings about EA aside, this was a great thing they did.

It's bad enough being ostracised for being a gamer and what you love, but to have to deal with pressure and discrimination because of who you love too?! It's a f**kery. Hopefully this video will help gamers see that it's okay to twiddle joysticks with the closet doors open.

The huge misconception about being gay before the 'come out' is that you are the problem. F**k no! The problem is with those who aren't willing to accept you for who you are. And coming out is a great way way for you to find out who your true friends are. Perhaps not so great in the midst of it all, but great in the long run.

I was sifting through the comments over at Kotaku, and of course there were ignorant f**ks making "faggot jokes". But they probably have their own issues. Chances are the guys making those comments secretly want dick anyway. Good luck to them getting it with attitudes like that. And no guy is going to go knocking on their closet door to offer it to them. Unless they're desperate... Really desperate... Like, not had dick for months and can't even get it via Grindr desperate.

    Aww, wow. That was really big of EA to do. The cynic in me remembers that this is EA though and I can't help but think there's a guy behind the camera with a gun and some auto-cue cards forcing those employees to read off them all in a bid to lower the negative rep they've accumulated over the years and I half expected a trailer for Dead Space 2 to be tacked on the end lol. But all jokes aside, EA and the employees that put this vid together get major, major props from me for having the balls to do something like this :]

Black refiners. We’ve gotta talk about that Milchick and Drummond moment in the Severance episode, “The After Hours”.

Written by Random J •
So, I’m watching season 2 of Severance. And as I post this, the ninth episode of the season “The After Hours” has just aired. And I really wanna talk about it. Well, I wanna talk about one moment in particular — Milchick and Drummond’s lil’ chat. Probably one of my favourite moments of the episode, which felt like the culmination of lots of Milchick moments diverging — adding a new wrinkle to a story and a world which already has more wrinkles than a newborn Shar Pei. Severance has made a commentary on a lot of things. Corporate shenanigans. Abuse of power dynamics. Sexisism. Homophobia. Religion. Consent. Control. And now I guess we can add race to the mix. Full disclaimer. To fully pre-empt and prevent being branded a liar and being misleading — the images in this post with subtitles are not official subtitles from Severance. They are subtitles I slapped on the images for extra effect and humour’s sake, in the vein of ‘What would these characters want to actually say’. I am including...

Nintendo and the Switch 2 pricing shenanigans

Written by Random J •
I am one of the few people in existence who does not own a Nintendo Switch. Y’all. Even my mum owns a Nintendo Switch. It’s crazy, because I have been with Nintendo through thick and thin and owned near-enough all of their systems. Nintendo has been a constant presence in my life. But the Wii and the Wii U left a sour taste in my mouth which made me apprehensive about buying a Switch. And because I had Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild on Wii U, I had no real incentive to buy a Switch early on. And then there was the Joy-Con drift issue which was a thing from the very beginning. But by the time the Switch had blossomed into this great system with a fantastic library of games, I figured ‘I’ll just get the rumoured Switch Pro when it drops’. Of course I knew this probably wouldn’t be the name, but I was adamant that a revised version of the Switch would release at some point and hopefully Nintendo woulda fixed them damn Joy-Cons. System redesigns mid-way through a console life cycle ha...

Game Review: Kingdom Hearts III | A mess

Written by Random J •
I typed this post after the first couple hours of playing Kingdom Hearts III, with the intent of posting it the next morning. But then I kept playing it more and more, and this post just became a near diary of my thoughts of Kingdom Hearts III. So, what was supposed to be my First impressions, became more like my first, second, third, forth, fifteenth impressions. Basically a su-   Fuck it. It’s a damn review. As if anybody gives a damn. This post isn’t that spoilerific. But there are definitely spoilers. So if you’ve not played through Kingdom Hearts III yet, then go stream “Don’t Think Twice” by Hikaru Utada on Spotify.
