You know the Resident Evil 5 debate our people have been having? The “is it racist” thing? Well, mainstream media just picked up on it. Specifically, The Atlantic. It’s important to realize exactly what is happening here: a periodical that is over 150 years old has published something on the ethical and moral conflicts related to a video game’s subject matter. That’s huge! This is a chance for advocates of gaming as an art form to interact with sort of folk who decide what will be remembered as art. Comments are enabled in the article! Get out there and show them how intelligent, civil and personable we can be!

Or, you know, just keep doing what you’re doing. I’m going to go back to playing Scrabble on Facebook.

Side Note: I’ve had the RE5 demo for a week now, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to play it. I loved Resident Evil 4, but there is something about the sequel that just makes me feel off. I get the same vibe from footage of this game that I got from Call of Duty: World at War. See below if you have no idea what I’m talking about but somehow managed to read this entire entry.
