1 out of ? of my NES Hoaxes - Journey (PS3)

Journey has some pretty landscapes <3 wanted to imagine how an NES adaptation would be like. I tried to stick close to the NES limitations. :D I know it exceeds them, though.

totally rad.

3 Years Later : Resident Evil 5, Race, Game Design, Africa, and Art for Art’s Sake

Only with the greatest simplification, for the sake of convenience, can we say ‘Africa.’ In reality, except as a geographic appellation, Africa does not exist.” Ryzard Kapuscinski, Shadow of the Sun[1]

Resident Evil 5 has been out for 3 ½ years. It released to controversy. N’Gai Croal, then of Newsweek, famously stated that, “clearly no one black had worked on this game,” and Eurogamers Dan Whitehead noted that it, “plays so blatantly into the old clichés of the dangerous ‘dark continent’ and the primitive lust of its inhabitants that you’d swear the game was written in the 1920s.

But that was three years ago. Why bother writing anything now?

I watch some fairly prominent video game streaming channels. One of them recently aired a Resident Evil 5 segment. And the stream’s comment section was a scrawl of facepalm, with such gems as: “I think this game is not racist because you’re killing africans in africa. It’d be more racist to say there are only white guys in Africa.”

And so here we are again. We’re doing this. Gets your buns in the chair.
