since medieve warned me for a joke post in GA and I have to make sure I don't exceed 100 until I'm out of the hospital since gw will be all i got left to do...

also because unlike other topics I semi/fully derail this one hasn't exhausted its discussion potential and is more than HERES MY CELLPHONE ITS NEAT.

but I want a good justification as to why Vanit's drawn this line in the sand.

uh. was that not clear?

because I think it's pretty clear he drew it on racial grounds which is counter to what he's saying and, you know, I've never been one to believe forums are just call and responses and instead of just talking about "i stopped playing videogames i wonder if thats affected how i enjoy them" it might be better to shift focus on a pervasive attitude of near-institutionalized racism in gaming and in the audience for gaming.

however he might have another reason like he could be a foreigner and has trouble with direct enunciated english let alone an accent of any kind so I'm not going to jump on his back without that being clear!

I think you raise a very good point, Steel. I agree many games, or any media for that matter, use modified versions of English to portray the way characters may speak, by introducing foreign sentence structure or vocab. My pickle with GTA:SA really doesn't have anything to do race, and I think it was a mistake on my part to refer to the issue as 'black lingo'.

In a nutshell I guess I found it frustrating because it did more than replace a few words. Its been a few years since I played it, but I remember there being metaphors I found bizarre put back to back and then there may have been some altered vocab on top of that. I think a good comparison to this would be A Clockwork Orange (the book), where quite a large amount of the vocab was replaced and then used in metaphors, leaving me feeling alienated from the story. I felt the same thing with GTA:SA and thats why I didn't get very far in it. I shouldn't have brought the issue of race into my classification as that really didn't have much to do with my quarrel with the game.

Again, it has been a few years since I tried to play it, the issue I'm describing may not be as prominent as I remember, but thats what went through my mind as I tried to play it.
"the way you speak about rm2k3, like "modules, arrays, pointers" sounds like
you're some badass c++ programmer stuck in the past and only has rm2k3 to
work with"

jesus christ dude everything you post reads like a press release in the midst of some sort of race-driven mccain scandle or something.
