omega64: True, still didn't click the link but now I'm curious. >_<

ddickinson: DON'T CLICK IT! Wait and see it first hand in the game. :-)
I know, that's why I bought it. ;)
Already own the game and dlc on Steam but just thought might as well. xD

omega64: Lol, they did that? xD
Yes, they made Thor a woman. Disney are changing the race/colour/gender of many of the old superheroes. I think Captain America is now black, Ms Marvel a Pakistan-American Muslim girl, the Hulk I think is now Korean-American. And there were others. It is the usual PC crap to pander to the idiotic PC masses. Why not make new superheroes and give these ethnicities their own identities, rather than just slap a new face on the already established ones? The new female Thor could have been a Norse Goddess, or a Valkyrie or something, a character in her own right, not just a simple gender swap.

Edit: I might be wrong with some of it, but I am pretty sure it is correct. I don't really follow Marvel and DC stuff, this is just things I have been told, and some I have seen the art for.

ddickinson:
A norse godess or Valkyrie would've been pretty cool.
Now I remember all that stuff, yeah it's pretty weird.
It can work though, in the Marvel films Nick Fury is a black person instead of white and it works perfectly. :P

Just seems weird to try and change so many characters lately.

For me it is not an issue about the colour/race/etc. It is that they do it to pander to PC crap, to pretend they are representing minorities. Give them their own characters, put some effort into it rather than just switching colours or sexes. Not that it happens only in comics, overly PC crap seems to be everywhere these days.

That might be it, I don't really know how to feel about that kinda stuff. :l
I'm really bad at noticing race apparentely. :P

Like the protagonist of Remember Me was a female black person.
It took an article pointing it out to me for me to realize she was black. >_<

omega64: No, providing useful answers to people seems to take too much effort.
Of course it is -.-
Well i guess one just has to try that. I'd like to participate in that game of Bros too :)

avatar
ddickinson: Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it won't continue for too long or cause you any problems or damage. Maybe Thor is angry that Disney was so ignorant that they thought Mjolnir was called Thor and that whoever weilds it is called Thor. Someone should hve told them Thor was his name, not his title or the hammers name. :-)
Well thankfully is hasn't damaged anything yet - i guess you can swim in our garden soon though ;)
That might be it - and calling him Donar here might be a good idea too :)

ddickinson: Well, either way I hope you have a really great time. Be sure to let us know how it goes. Maybe the could adapt it to take place in Victorian era Germany, with a more German social theme. That might be fun. :-)

I read that it will be in English, is there a reason for that and it not being in German?
I think it's a little late to make any changes.^^

They originally started out as a student project for the university's English language department. That's why they perform in English. I also believe some of their members don't even speak German.

omega64: *tells wife somehow*
If it lets you play with Steam peoplez I could play it with you sometime.
*watches wife get upset for some reason*

Sure, if the technical aspect is sorted.
I'm quite hyped about the game after the rock, paper & shotgun review.
Should be fun with multiplayer too :)

Well, if you are white and in the west you are supposed to feel ashamed and blindly follow what is actually a form of racism in itself, just directed away from the minorities. :-)

So pool party at EiTs? YAY! But I am only going if the other ladies do. No one want to be stuck at a male only pool party. :-)

That makes sense, especially with some of the members not speaking German.
Has there been a release every day of the sale?

AgentBirdnest: Has there been a release every day of the sale?
As far as I know, yes. With the exception of the weekend.

I think so, if not every day then most days. At least that is how it has seemed. *shrugs*

Yezemin: As far as I know, yes. With the exception of the weekend.
Ho yeah... Release-less weekends makes sense... I wonder what we'll get today then :-)

ddickinson: I think so, if not every day then most days. At least that is how it has seemed. *shrugs*
Totally unimportant: A quick search of the thread shows that I have the most *shrugs* here by far.
I guess I am a very confused individual... *shrug* :-)

Who do you think did the most hugs or the most waves?

Hugs are hard to say... Either you, Moon, Owl, or myself.
You've done the most silly waves, easily :-)

Nobody compares to my amount of helmet tips B-)
