At least people were trying to hold legitimate debate, and the ignorance was at a minimum. Now Donkey Kong is an example of a black character, and Cole (Gears of War) is representative of a large percentage of black people within this country.

I know when I go to my fridge I cant help but marvel at ALL DAT JUICE I got in there.
that rock band thing? no joke if they put out a parliament set, id be all over that shit. but it would be fuck hardmode though.

yeah. that's what I mean... the dismissal of black music in "rock band" because of the "band" part... it's like... do they not know where rock music came from?
honestly i'm still blown that folks actually reacted negatively to San Andreas. reading that GAF thread still cracks me up.

That DK thing is a joke right?
It's definitely a joke. The only question is whether it was malicious in its intent, or just a failed joke/attempt at sarcasm. Either way it was pretty boneheaded hahaha
if people are talking about rap in rock band, the reason it's hardly in there is because rap is a licensing quagmire.
Even if I bought the entire Snoop pack (i only have one), i'd still have more non-rap black artists in my Rock Band library. The only track I bought of his was because.. surprise, they had to take it down due to licensing issues. So I grabbed it before you couldn't buy it anymore. Gotta have rares.
Otherwise I have no idea why people would be bringing up RB in that thread..
Black artists I have in my library for RB off the top of my head:
Darius Rucker (his country single)
Jimi Hendrix (AYE?, A:BAL, and the last RB3-era pack they put out)
Jackson 5
James Brown
BB King
Otis Redding
Earth Wind & Fire
Deltron via Gorillaz's "Clint Eastwood" if you want to count that

not rap, but black artists in general in rock band. theres quite a bit to choose from too.

Nintendo needs some black protagonists so no one can bring up Ganondorf or DK anymore when talking about black video game characters.
I always thought the story of Sundiata would make a good game; it could be like Zelda in a different setting.

Surprised people haven't been talking more about the ending of Fast 6/Bad guy for 7 leaking.
www.aintitcoolnews.com has the story spoiler, and I can see some people getting sad, not me but certain people.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Yeah, dude was trying to live a rockstar life on the taxpayer's dime. Some of the shit he bought was cool like the Malcom X and Bruce Lee stuff but WTF at 8k for the MJ hats, lmao. Biggest fucking waste of money right there.
This sounds awesome to me.
GAF, in general, prefers Sony systems. So, there's going to be meltdowns unless the reveal melts people's eyes and heralds in a new generation of Sony dominance. Most of GAF wants nothing less after having the PS3 come in last place.
I think the PS4 will cost $400-$450, come with a new PSMove, and have the FF7 remake at launch. I dunno. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony started charging for PSN, but gave 1yr free with each new console purchase. Or maybe allow "free" access to used games with a PSN sub.
There's no doubt about it. The rules on GAF are part of the reason why there aren't many vocal conservatives here, as the "traditional values" bullshit doesn't fly here. Simply regurgitating those Fox News/AM radio "values' talking points has led to many conservatives getting banned because they are either unable or unwilling to articulate their opinions.
But GAF is fairly liberal overall, though. Part of it is because (IMO) gaming draws a more Left-leaning crowd, and another part of is that GAF is global community. Our Euro GAFers aren't scared by the reliabe Republican boogie men of universal healthcare and gun control.
If you really want to know, then take a look at Gamespot's System Wars forum and 4chan. That would be GAF without the mod team here.
I have a Glock .40. Wife hated it at first, and was really angry when I got it, but she's alright with it now. I take her to the gun range every month or so.

Its barely a spoiler. If you have a brain you can figure how the movie would end. Its not scene specific, its just how all the pieces end up.

Lol, let the over-hyping commence.
It's like when you are dating one of Dy's exes, aka women with kids. You keep some cheap dollar general toys on you to keep the kid busy and not staring you in the face.
Vader is Luke's Father?
Slay you might be able to get the twitch app or ign.com.
expecting a lot more of backlash since everyone is wishing to the moon on this.
