It should be good. I don't think respawn has worked on Apex for months.

Hey guys, it seems like we could have a hit on our hands.

Yes it does!

Let's make the store sell $20 skins and stop releasing new content, that will do the trick

Kind of weird that they won't allow the N word but are okay with zipper head. The way we typically handle racism is ironically racist. Like if Elizabeth Warren pretended to be black instead of native we wouldn't have tolerated it. I guess there just isn't enough natives left to be insulted by her using their heritage to exploit a system meant to help actual natives. So in turn we don't actually care about the plight of the natives. Blacks are our premier minority so they get special treatment.

I've never heard of that derogatory term. Awareness might have something to do with it.

But yes, I would agree that US culture at large doesn't consider natives much if at all.

Special treatment? I don't know, I think there is more exposure and then backlash against it.

Kind of, because I'm sure nobody would be as upset if I said beaner or spick. Just the N word. Yeah, perhaps black people being the most culturally relevant gives them the bigger platform but I don't think that really justifies the weird lines of what racism is tolerated. It should all be looked down on. Unless it's towards the whitey tighties.

Muthafukkin' Turtles in Time is beast. I'm not even really a beat em up fan so I'm pleasantly surprised.

I genuinely am hoping it's good. Itll be a nice redemption moment for EA if they can do it right. I'm also curious how they'll do at E3 since they don't typically have great E3 performances.

I might have to reevaluate my position on old school beat em ups. Loaded up Final Fight 1 and that moment when you realize you got ****ed up by like three guys for five seconds just cause you tried to punch when you were a pixel too low on the screen and they got the drop on you is a different kind of frustration than most games cause now you bout to beat dey ass in a more fist-meet-face kind of way and **** yeah. I don't know if I'm gonna become a heavy fan of this **** but I got a new go-to activity for when I'm drunk and have no desire to engage with "thought" or "stuff".

OMG an SNES controller for all things old school is amazing but now I've finally crossed the Rubicon and I'm on Yoshi's Island and I'm still not sure why Donkey Kong Country commands greater respect. There's literally no reason why Yoshi's Island isn't considered the greatest old school platformer ever and playing it with an SNES controller makes me feel better than you.

"This is flight CJ101 requesting permission to land."



It was such a cute and triumphant moment!
