That man... has absolutely NO literary sense, for all his analysis...

The concepts of duality/parallelism and nemesis seem to escape him. Let's hope he gets all the ridicule he deserves.

...of course, if it's a joke, then in some ways it's kinda funny... but if it is a joke, he really doesn't analyze far enough in... for instance, he fails to work in more examples of class struggle, indiscriminant violence (you destroy black and white), etc. The petition makes it look too serious for its own good.

Or you could make the counter that the player is the "universal soldier"; he is both black and white, and he destroys both black and white equally. It doesn't matter whether his enemy is the white knight or black cannon fodder, he annihilates them all, with both black and white.

And we haven't even tried to work in the quotes from the Chapter intros yet :)

Well, that's out of left field. It's so bizarre I can help but think he's joking, though (I hope?)

I'm pretty sure it was a joke, and I think it was funny. The people that responded to it and took it seriously were funny to laugh at and those that said if it was a joke it wasn't funny are too uptight.

it seems unlikely that he means it. If he means it, he needs advise... like taking up a more important cause at the least.

I don't really find it that funny, but I'm sure the guy that wrote it is laughing his ass off.

The people on that message board really need to add the word "satire" to their vocabulary. I bet these are the sort of people that go around to different message boards posting stuff that they saw on the Onion and saying "OMG TH1S IZ HORIBBLE!!!11".

I especially liked the part where the guys who didn't get the joke called the other guy a moron.

Dude, people in America love to take part in our national pasttime: being a dumbass and getting offended while playing on their Jump to Conclusions mat. So, how could the others at that forum NOT think he was serious??? The word "racist" has been thrown around SO MUCH over the last ten years that it's ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS at this point. "My feet itch! They must be RACIST against me!!!" I'm not saying racism is dead, but it's definitely NOT the 1800's anymore. Not everything is racist.

If that guy was joking, then okay. But I'm just saying that, given how over-sensitive and stupid people are here in America, I wouldn't be surprised that it WASN'T a joke.

I'm capable of much better graphic design

but I just slapped this together. Sorry....
