RE racism and the dtoid community
kevvo | 9:51 AM on 04.11.2008 11 comments


If your not a game player and you see RE5, you could see it as racist.

I personally praise capcom for what they are doing, then again I am a gamer. Those who don't game outnumber the gamers. Even larger if you just look at black people who game compared to those who don't game. Granted a lot of us don't see it as racist. Just remember that issues that we have dealt with in our history are not easily forgotten and the impact of which can still be felt by many blacks today. I am a big proponent of saying whatever you like but I have seen somethings that have made me take a double look. Just be weary of what you say, we all have our opinions, but know some history or have some class before you make some of them.







With that said, I can't wait to shoot the black zombies in RE5, go capcom for the bold move!

Random guitar hero thoughts
kevvo | 7:13 AM on 12.06.2007 5 comments





Its amazing how I have had to justify the greatness of this game to some of my friends. Whats even crazier is having to justify why a black man can be good at this game. Been playing guitar hero since the original came out. I find it funny that my black friends thought I was crazy for trying it and that no self respecting black man would play it(you should have heard them after I beat the game on expert....) Along comes guitar hero 2. I still heard the same issues from them, but not to the same extent, maybe cuz it was the sequel, or that it came out a little over a year later like the madden games they buy every year for that little change that EA makes that justifies spending another 50-60 buck on the game(we all have those friends). I stray from my thoughts. Another great game, had its moments too(fuck psychobilly freak out on expert and that robot of a fucking kid who was on youtube). Now I sit here WITHOUT guitar hero 3, why you ask? because I wanted to wait for rock band(which is fucking awesome) and lo and behold I turn on my 360, glance at my friends list like we all do when we first turn the system on. All my friends from college(HBCU representin') are playing guitar hero 3 like its the new madden. What was I saying 3 years ago? Now its cool? maybe because its made by the people who did tony hawk? people by those every year for minimal changes? Or maybe they can admit what I admitted 3 years ago. Its a great feeling to rock out.....even if it isnt a real guitar....
