“The Legend of Zelda” is classist, sexist and racist: Game takes dim view of workers, women..

LOL making a fuss about a video game..I always thought that liberals have NO life, this just reaffirms that fact

[Sarah Barracuda]

Zelda: The Wind Maker HD came out today for the Wii U, Im gonna buy it

Meanwhile China is positioning itself to take over the world.

There two guys at the refinery where I work who look just like Mario and Luigi. They know it and play it up..

[RightGeek]

Someone has too much time on his hands

[Hardraade]

On the other hand, jihad firstperson shooters are probably A-OK.

Ridiculous? Moronic is closer. Funny, the Zelda series are my wife’s favorite games to this day.

It’s a game for God’s sake.

[darkangel82]

Of course it’s moronic, it’s Salon. The Marx quote doubles the idiot factor.

[tet68]

Karl Marx described this relationship as one of “oppressor and oppressed,” comparing it to that of “freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, (and) lord and serf.”

It would seem that the author has never had to run a
business or lead a crew...

Marx, that’s so 19th century.
Marx and Mohammed, both stuck in the past.

Pretty brutal all right, but nowhere as brutal as Pong. There the little dot represents the Working Class, bounced back and forth between the paddles of Capitalism. And you know what? If they miss the paddles they DIE! AND THE CAPITALIST GETS A POINT!! And so there they are caught between the violence inherent in the oppression of the system or DEATH!

Don't even start me on Ms PacMan.

[Caipirabob]

“Dead Rising” is insensitive to the needs of “life deprived” Americans. At least the democrats still let them vote.

How do you like the Wii U thus far?

[Sarah Barracuda]

The Wii U is great..it can play Wii games too so it will probably replace the Wii soon. I think the mistake Nintendo made from the get go was that they charged too much for the system, 350 for the deluxe model(Which is what I have) was overpriced..if they had made it between 199-250 I think they would have sold more. I am looking forward to Super Mario 3D world its coming out November 22nd that game looks GREAT

[JSDude1]

What a loser, I wonder what the people in NY drink to make them think up such crap..!

[miliantnutcase]

We’re looking at getting my 5 year old son a console for Christmas, and it’s looking like a PS3 at this point (due to cost). However, regarding the Wii U I really like the concept, and of course the Nintendo exclusives.

[miliantnutcase]

lol! Or Conker’s Bad Fur Day

[Sarah Barracuda]

The PS4 looks awesome..but for a 5 yr old depending on the kinds of games he likes to play, I would consider getting him a Wii U..its more kid friendly, and maybe the price will go down..some stores already have them marked down..Wii U fit comes out November 1st, Mario and Sonic Olympic Games 2014 also comes out in November..Wii U party comes out the end of this month so yeah they are coming out with some good games..Your 5 yr old might like Disney Infinity Starter Pack, that is out for all the systems..or if he is into Pokemon the new Pokemon X & Y is coming out on October 12th..many games to choose from, maybe around Black Friday is when they might have some great deals

Well said!

And this woman is very grateful to all of the men who make my modern lifestyle possible. (Of course, the best man of all is my wonderful husband.)
