You should have gotten one of those adjustable desks so you don't die a premature death from sitting too much.
Master Milk said:
Where? Oh do you mean those desks that mount to the wall and close up to look like a cabinet?
I bought this desk because studying on the bed causing me to fall asleep and get nothing done. Me using it to read the Black Culture thread is just a plus. lol
Just in time for E3 too ^^

Nah, that sounds weird. Airplane chair desks, no thanks.Londa said:
There was a thread awhile ago about how all the sitting we do is killing us. Some people started talking about adjustable desks to combat the problem. You can adjust the height so that you can stand at them instead of needing to sit. Apparently you'll live forever.

Let him take his time. He earned it with SOTC.Parallax said:
I'm only looking forward to a few games in the next year: Deus Ex 3, Mass Effect 3, and Uncharted 3. I think UC2 has the best acting in any game ever. It has none of that over-exaggerated Mo-cap the Japanese like to do and the actors provide the voice while they're doing the Mo-Cap. I love it. More games need to emulate it.

That's a pretty neat song, it has a nice calm feel about it.

I like that song a lot. Thanks for sharing.
As far as E3 goes, I want to attend an E3 at least once in my life. Living in NYC prevents that from being an easy task.
Ah well, maybe I can rope a couple of friends along with me someday.

This is that SHIT right here.
Somebody came and decided to walk with Otis Redding or Bill Withers in 2011...I dig that. Let's see what other stuff he's got out, and what other stuff he comes out with. He has the kind of sound that might end up being Sunday chore soundtracks for future kids.

No idea. I didn't look into them when I first learned about them because it'll be a long while before I could even think about buying one. Report back whenever you get around to it.Londa said:

Come on, a rapping ninja named Killerbee (Wu-Tang reference?). He's black.
I'm watching House of Payne. Bad idea. Although I commend Tyler Perry for making black sitcoms, this show doesn't have the flair the black sitcoms of the past have.

I could've saved you the minutes lost and told you that had you posted in here about it. No offense to fans of the show here but I say no thank you.

One of these days I will watch House of Payne/Meet the Browns, even though I know I will probably regret it.

RIP Black Sitcoms.
I respect Tyler Perry, knowing his past hardships and what he has made of himself today. However, I can't stand his work, and I can't help but feel offended and annoyed by the type of humor that is portrayed in his projects. Is that all he thinks black people are capable of finding funny?
Are there any of his works that I'm simply not aware of that are exceptions?

I just thought of a better idea--rather than watching an entire episode, I'll just watch a short clip.
...
Yup, knew it. I mean, they made a joke about the microwave being used to change the channel. I'm all for "lol so randum" and everything but... yeah. I don't know what to say.
And is it just me or do we end up talking about Tyler Perry a lot?

oh yeah. i asked him about the rhyming thing, and first he tried to give me some spoken word poetry bullshit, then revised his baseless argument to say that he rhymes most likely to reference hip hops growing influence in japanese culture. i just walked away from him after that. you wanna argue if buccha from air gear is black, fine. but bee and raikage are obviously fucking black and he truly couldnt admit it.
as for tyler perry, i was done with tyler perry when i heard a recycled robin harris joke on his show. 5 minutes was all i needed to come to the realization that his brand of comedy wasnt for me. the scary thing, is i know quite a few white people who just love the show. i dont have the heart to ask them why though

Any who Mr. Kojima made a cool tech demo of his multiplat engine using a black character
I think that's cool.

I'd like to see him step out of the stereotype he's created with the Madea universe and go rogue. Maybe do some SciFi or something. That small cameo role he had in Star Trek was a small glimpse

Kojima gets mad props for using a black character. I'd be interested to see that character more, but it's most likely just for tech demo purposes.

and wow @ that screenshot. Go away from the gaming side for a minute and you miss something big. Gonna go checkout the video(if there is one)
The screenshot just made me realize that in most of his MGS games there has been a black character, and they're usually very detailed too like Drebin or the guy from MGS3(his name escapes me at the moment)

Oh well, I think that character is then. I think the fact is further made or hinted given said powers.
