Whoever modded me troll was apparently too stupid to realize how perfectly appropriate my response was.

Fuck you.
The video was revolting, horriffic.
I watched a few seconds, determined that it's the same shit I've already been doing in a bunch of other games, and turned it off. What is the big deal?
First Person Shooters ruined the game industry for me. The games are without plot and are entirely brain dead in the attempt to finish any sort of tasks.
Newsflash: the typical video game has always been brainless and/or lacking any real plot. Most FPS games today have a plot and narrative anyway. There's a big difference between Doom and BioShock.
Then we will all be stuck with the next FPS that is just point and shoot with new pretty graphics and no plot.
Yes, because the only two types of games that exist are CRPGs and FPS'!
Despite this, I'm not sure allowing character customization is a good idea. First, there is the familiar tradeoff of depth vs breadth, so customization leads to shallower stories
This makes even less sense than the article's summary.
OMG that's a reason to start rounding up everybody with brown skin!
What never ceases to amaze me about you liberals is that you always, always, always turn anything Islam-related into a race issue (why? Islam obviously does not constitute a race) and come up with alarmist fantasy scenarios where all "brown people" are rounded up and gassed, when in reality the Western world is ruled by Islamomania, and it would be unthinkable to even criticize Islam or Muslims, let alone start rounding them up.
Calling it now: I will be modded -1 troll etc. because the leftist-liberal hivemind of Slashdot cannot tolerate any dissent, but is also unable to formulate any counter-arguments.
You're acting like there's something unusual about a Muslim extremist in Europe. They are a dime a dozen.
I think games allow you to connect with the characters and situation much more.
For me it makes no difference whether it's a movie or a game (or how interactive the game is). Only the the writing and presentation matter.
Articles like this have lots of words in them, but they have nothing to say. They're just noise. I could write an article titled "can there be diarrhea in my ass?" and it would be the same thing.
Yes, games can have political messages, and have had political messages. The end.
Lots of people love to sneer at video games and dismiss them as children's toys, devoid of artistic or intellectual content.
And they are mostly correct. There are very, very few video games that can even hope to compete with movies in terms of storytelling.
Having nonmale, nonwhite gamers increases the range of games available, which gives you more variety in what you can choose to play.
Yes, because black people need their own video games.
Also, white people can't play Japanese games because they are only compatible with Japanese DNA.
Bush came and went. No religious war started. Americans just like to bring up God all the time.
The president can't launch the country's nuclear arsenal just because he feels like it. And in case you didn't notice, Bush is no longer in office. So clearly his remarks were meaningless.
The Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns are ordinary military operations, religion has nothing to do with them.
Two people saying something about God is meaningless, and certainly not even remotely comparable to Jihad.
How the fuck did that constitute trolling? Does anyone here, besides me, know what trolling actually is? The average Slashdotter has to be in his early teens because older Internet users should fucking know better.
Oh cool, my karma has dropped to bad now. All because of fucktards who can't get an erection unless they've recently abused mod points.
