BlackGAF, be sure to grab your free games on the PS3. It's also been confirmed that you can download games on alternate accounts so you can get all the free games they offer, lol.

Dem reparations. Big ups to Tiger uppercut reminding me to grab the free PSN+.

Edit: It's glitchy as all hell in the store right now, though.

ZOMG

Is it possible to download those games with alt accounts and then get them accessible on one account? Like say I download Wipeout and inFamous with my main PSN (captmcblack) and then go get Super Stardust and Dead Nation with another account, and then Ratchet with a third account. Is it possible to somehow make them all playable on my main account?

Can we also get games from other regions?

YES. FFFFFF

And I actually stayed away from anything San Andreas related online. I can only imagine the backlash.

San Andreas is still my favorite GTA and I'll go as far as to say it's the best so far. (Vice City's dope too, don't get me wrong.)

I thought One Piece and the Davy Back fight was quite unbelievable as well. Ussop went on and on about the power of an Afro and thus we get Afro Luffy.

Brian Hawk from Ippo was nuts too. He's black but was portrayed as some wild American boxer with murderous tendencies? He was seen animal within context.

Heya BlackGAF, culturally interested white boy, here. I've got a question.

What do black folks mean when they refer to somebody as their cousin? Does that actually mean cousin or is it something else? The alternate usage of "minute" confused me for a while and I'm thinking maybe this is a similar situation.

For me it just means cousin or someone who is related to you but not immediate family or that explaining their blood relationship is difficult.

Minute usage refers to a long passage of time in seeing someone. I.e "Man I haven't seen you in a minute" This fits when meeting some after a long time of months to years.

Just saw first class, and liked it for the most part.
Just wished they hadn't reverted to a classic but tired movie trope. Black guys always dies first. LOL C'mon man!

"Cousin" in slang is interchangeable with "bro", "brother", "man", "son."

it just means cousin, regardless of what degree and how many times removed.

kinda like how brother and sister mean full, half, step, adopted, whatever, they're just a sister and brother.

In regards to First Class,

Of course when Shaw mentioned the "enslaved" part they had to zoom in on brotha man.
Also, of course said brotha man had to be the first one to die. Dude didn't even get a damn uniform!

Yeah, the camera couldn't have zoomed in closer to his face when he said that. I sank down in my chair, smh.

Also,
he is the ONLY team member to die...full stop.

Lol i'm going to see First Class on Sunday

One of the best experiences in regards to that trope was watching deep blue sea at the cinema.

It was full of a lot of black women who screamed at the screen every time it looked like LL might die.

The cheers that went up when he survived the whole movie.

And the lols when Saffron Burrows got eaten.

I notice in reality shows and talkshows how whenever someone says anything that could be related to a person of color the cameraguy instinctually zooms in on the reaction of any person of color.

Reminds me of when I was in class the other day some girls were talking about white south africans and one of them was saying how surprised she was that there are white south africans, and I could feel her eyes looking at me, as if she was expecting me to chime in and say something.

im trying to think if one piece has any black people, but the closest thing i can think of are the fishmen tribe.

as for hawk. i wanted takamura to destroy his ass so bad. when he was smoking his ass so bad, that he started crying, i laughed loud. bitch ass.

and im glad you guys enjoyed first class. the comic book fan in me wont allow me to go, so im out.

I'm interested in any Final Fantasy game in E3 (Hopefully we'll get some new Versus info or Type-0 info).

I'd like to see possibly a Super Marvel vs. Capcom 3, more Soul Calibur V info and Tekken x Street Fighter/Street Fighter x Tekken stuff.

I'm looking forward to surprises too. NGP megatons, Cafe/Wii 2 megatons, etc.

And, I want to see some DmC news. Although I hate the design for Dante, if the game play is great enough, I may have to consider buying a copy.

As for a BlackGAF facebook, we don't have one of those but there are a couple of us on the NeoGAF Facebook group.

Every time you see a black guy, it's one of us, no matter how cliche or racist that may sound. :lol
