the world of warcraft lore thread used to be one of the funniest threads on the forums because posters would have absolutely pyschotic meltdowns about the factions and accuse each other of supporting in real life warcrimes because they played an orc but it mellowed out after the blizzard forum was axed

That's because most of the worst offenders who didn't get banned quit WoW forever and started posting in the "I hate blizzard and everyone who plays their games is a nazi" containment thread instead lol

It got so stupid they instituted a rule that you can't misspell the name of a particular faction leader because some people were convinced that other posters were doing it on purpose to own them somehow

People who think Iron Man isn't pro-american propaganda, didn't realize that Camp Omega in MGSV was an obvious political message, and think manchin is the SOLE reason why biden "can't get anything done". Apparently the idea of an old man being able to be bribed to vote yes for reproductive rights is immoral, but not voting against them in the first.

Arkham Knights is gonna be copaganda bullshit like the Spidey ps4 games are. I'd recommend instead playing Half Life 2 for a realistic portrayal of what the First Nation people has gone through in history. America should be burned to the ground, fact.

Stop it with. It may be a fun joke, but all it does is have 3 or 4 posters responding with nothing more than "you misspelled X's name".
This is not a hard rule, we all make mistakes, you won't get a sixer for this happening once or twice. This is a rule for repeated offenses.

My hot take contribution for this thread is that John Wick is a lovely knockoff of Max Payne.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiNHpol9L80

Max Payne 3 ended up being the most relevant artistic work about the intersection of race and class war into a format dipshit Americans could comprehend years before militant fascism could take power in Brazil.

Taintrunner posted:

people keep saying Max Payne 3 is a lovely ripoff of Man on Fire but I’ve never played a game that screams CLASS WAR CLASS WAR CLASS WAR above all else

Taintrunner posted:

didn't any of these fuckin' people play max payne 3 it was like the greatest primer to the class war and how it intersects with race in brazil ever made

Taintrunner posted:

one of the greatest games of all time

I reinstall it and beat it yearly, Max Payne 3 loving whips the llama's rear end

I actually never got far in Max Payne 3 because I went off the beaten path to get collectibles in a mission where there was explicitly no time limit on things and it gave me a game over for it. Why, game?

Anyways, that's more important than taintrunner.
