It kind of feels like a shame to eat them, when you think about how long they must have taken to make…

Remember Me, coming May 2013 from Capcom and Dontnod Entertainment, is a third-person video game starring Nilin, a mixed-race lady, in dystopian Neo-Paris in 2084. Nilin had her memories wiped by her former employer, but will use her skills as a memory hunter to alter her enemies’ memories and restore her own. Exploration and platforming are major parts of the game, so expect Mirror’s Edge-style parkour without Mirror’s Edge’s major failing: Spontaneous gun battles. Combat in the game is entirely hand-to-hand, with no guns, blood, or killing. Instead, players create combos on the fly in the Combo Lab (which touts over 50,000 different combos according to Capcom) and rely on on-screen displays to see how effective they are against an enemy. If you’re not super psyched for this game yet, let me give you a quote from the co-founder of Dontnod:

CVG: Remember Me’s lead character is a mixed-race female, which stands out against the crowd of white male heroes. There’s a sense that publishers attach risk to anything other than white male leads. At any stage in development, did you feel you needed to change the lead character’s appearance?

Jean-Maxime Moris: No, we wanted Nilin to stand out. I think these sort of issues become self-fulfilling prophesies; people saying that only white males sell so then everyone only does white males. If you start believing these things you get your head inside this cold marketing strategy that you cannot get your head around. It becomes a pretty fucking racist and misogynistic way of thinking about lead characters.

To summarize: Remember Me is a third-person cyberpunk dystopian parkour platformer starring a non-sexualized non-white lady who knows 50,000 ways to knock somebody out. Coming May 2013 to PC, XBox 360, and PS3.

aka that game that I’m gonna be buying the fuck out of when it’s released

This is important for game creators to understand: that offering continuous amounts of straight white male characters will only cause players to expect that and therefore diminish the possibility of diversity in gaming as a whole.

Also, Nilin sounds awesome. FINALLY a biracial woman like me to play as!

A Bunch Of Sad, Insecure Dudes Attacked A Woman And Everyone Got What They Deserved

When Anita Sarkeesian announced plans to do a video series exploring the portrayal of women in video games, she became the victim of a massive online attack choreographed by members of the gaming community who cast her as the “villain” in their online “game” to ruin her life. It did not go well for them. But for Anita, things ended up going very well indeed. 

You definitely want to watch the whole thing, but here are some highlights: at 1:00 she talks about why she loves video games, at 2:02 just try to imagine yourself in her shoes, at 3:45 she sticks the people attacking her under a microscope, and at 8:15 she doesn’t just win the game, she absolutely destroys it.

Watch this.

And this is why only 13% of computer science department students (on average) are sexually active. Smh.

Remember when this shit was going down?  Check this out, it’s really important.  I am in awe of her bravery.

“Stuff I learned from Video Games” by Chris G (aka paperbeatscissors on DeviantArt)

Our parents might have kept telling us that video games are violent and although that is true, one particular artist has a different opinion. Artist Chris G. (also known as paperbeatsscissors) created a collection of video-game inspired illustrations that gave the gaming geek a life lesson and surprisingly they are very true if you recall playing these video games.

Games like Mario, Pokemon, Sonic, etc and though we never thought Mario the Italian plumber had a moral lesson to teach us, he apparently does. Anyway, onto the actual illustrations, all I can say is that they are drop down gorgeous, very simple and ridiculously cute, I almost like them more than the originals and that does not come easy.

Each of the characters has a great resemblance of the original but has a different art style one which I wish I could do the same. For more interesting art from Chris, check out his DeviantART gallery.

I have the urge to launch a trio of Red Shells at it.

Yoshi overtook me a lot in Mario Kart >_>

I hate Yoshi in Mario Kart. And TOAD. Little bastard chuckles when he overtakes.

Ey yo, Yoshi is my homeboy in all the games.

Are you kidding me
Who the fuck threw that red shell
I will fuck you up
