“HIV isn’t cancer, something that you can contract through no fault of your own.” So, all those people that got it through blood transfusions in the 70s and 80s before proper screening procedures were developed must have committed some horrible sin that we don’t know about, huh? Shut up. Tyler Perry wants to fashion himself into some sort of demagogue, which is pathetic considering his work always has the subtlety of a cartoon anvil being dropped on the heads of his audience.

I have a wife. I won’t be watching this movie with her because I appreciate her enough to know that she’d hate it. I also know that she’d resent a ploy as juvenile as trying to get her to “appreciate” our relationship by subjecting her to a film that tries to teach that lesson. Neither of us needs to be preached to by someone we don’t know. Nobody does. I don’t want to form an opinion about this movie firsthand. I’m familiar enough with my tastes to know that even if I saw it for free it’d be a waste, and if I paid for it my money would be going toward a man whose art I think is lowbrow and whose moral messages I do not agree. Now, maybe you think I’m being condescending to you. I hope you do, because I certainly think your response was condescending to me.

Any person responsible for the televised abortion that is Meet the Browns could not be considered deep. Not in any universe. Tyler Perry is so shallow if he were a pool he’d need “No Diving” warnings all around him.

This is one of those rare times in which I actually hope a person is being sarcastic and/or trolling. If you need a piece of media to show you that taking your partner for granted is a bad thing, you are not ready to be in a relationship. Also, I haven’t seen the film (given the fact that Perry’s work is almost invariably misogynistic and full of uninteresting, two-dimensional characters with very binary moralities), but given the article’s content, “don’t take your partner for granted” isn’t even remotely what it is about.

Good news! They are making one; it was announced at DICE last year. :D

Given the timespan between this announcement and LaPierre’s original press conference suggesting it, that makes the Speed of Stupid about three and a half months.

I don’t really know what to think about this article. On the one hand, Bioshock Infinite really is so good that the only possible way to improve on it is to give more of it to us, and opening up the world so that the game can be played in a number of ways would be great. That said, I’m not a huge fan of sandbox games, which is the typical approach game developers take when they want to make a “go anywhere, do anything” game; there’s too much freedom and not enough structure for me. That’s a personal choice. I don’t really agree that it shouldn’t be a first person shooter, though; like it or not, it is part of a series of games. The Shock series has always been first-person. Irrational Games saying, “we’re going to make a new Shock game but it won’t be an FPS” would be changing things fundamentally. It’s like Nintendo saying, “we’re going to make a new Mario game but it’s not going to be a platformer, it’s going to be a puzzle game”. Well, they did that; it was called Dr. Mario. It was hardly bad, but at its heart it wasn’t a Mario title in the way the public understands what a Mario title “means”.

She also for the longest time eschewed makeup and deodorant as a social statement. Which is fine if that’s what you believe, but apparently someone was able to convince her that many (not all) people would think her more attractive if she wore some eyeliner and lipstick and didn’t smell bad. Just goes to show, no matter what happens, as time approaches infinity, all things, people or otherwise, approach “normal”. Take that for what you will.
