Who's the redhead in the upper left?

New character, kind of a bad guy/Yu rival, does not have a Persona.

I have not been this excited about a character confirmation since...probably Terra in Dissidia!

Bah, only caused a mild amount of drool! (Seriously, I think Persona knows who its audience is...)

Obvs.

In other news: Shock! Palutena in Smash?! Still, the sheer amount of KIU stuff getting into Smash is pretty awesome. Maybe we will get another KI game this decade or next?

Kid Icarus games come out once every other decade, so we'll have to wait until like 2031 for the next one <_<

www.owen.org/blog/7308?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=google-and-the-trolley-problem

Discussion of how to handle emergencies with automated cars.  Then it goes on to talk about it in terms of Aasimov's three laws of robotics which is kind of lol and nearly made me post it in IotD.

It does pose questions about market choice on different vehicles based on how they are designed to handle these situations, but it paints it with a kind of ridiculously broad brush.

So... misc link for a nearly interesting discussion point.

Edit - To be frank I could see it being distasteful in putting your actual life in direct control of Google programmers in some kind of rebellion against them being in all parts of your life, but meh.  You already are putting a huge part of your life in control of some programmer somewhere, whether it be software on your car or in your health industry machines.

Also being someone who won't ever be able to drive, I already put my personal safety on the line with people I don't trust by everyone else driving, so blehhhhhhh.

Those kind of comments are just endemic to the majority race of a culture, I'd think. I actually DO get comments like those in Japan. In particular the "round eyes" thing, the "only date white people" thing, the "can't tell white people apart" thing, and especially the "I'm so into white culture, have you seen X?" bit.

The round eye thing is at least generally contained to the kids.

Yeah, basically this. That said the reaction shouldn't be "well the majority race of every culture pulls this crap so it is OK" but "Well with that in mind what steps do we stop the majority race from being so shitty all the time." I know soooooo many white people that bitch about their treatment in Japan and then turn around and pull the same damn shit when they go home, or best yet while they're still in Japan but with a group of non-Japanese people.

Anyone who owns 51% of Capcom's stock will now control the company.  I've heard estimated costs in the $500 million range.  Here's hoping Nintendo acquires the guys who did the netcode for MvC3

You... want someone who did the netcode on a fighting game to get it to improve?  Apparently there was big steps taken on MvC3 that I didn't know about.

I have heard good things about the Wii U Mario Kart netcode though, so maybe they are in an okay place.  I suppose all the HRRRNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG from the internet about lag in the new Smash Brothers game will let us know on way or another.

Not sure if sarcasm or not.  The only fighting game I've played with worse netcode than MvC3 was Injustice.

You mean the masterwork of storytelling, Injustice, whose spinoff gave us one of the worst panels in comic book history?

I dunno, the point I was making was that it doesn't really bother me. It comes from a place of ignorance, but not malice in most cases (round eye thing aside). They don't get exposure to the minority culture so they ask dumb shit. I kinda feel like by being here and just letting them know that we are individuals is kinda already the steps we should be taking to lessen the effect. *shrug*

Yeah, that cut it for me back when I was a shithead in college and pretty damn ignorant myself, but that doesn't cotton with me anymore. Whether it comes from a place of ignorance or malice the effect is the same on the minority culture. Most of the stuff said in that video I'm sure most people have said out of ignorance (like, how do you even make a comment about putting chopsticks in your hair out of malice?) but that doesn't mean it doesn't get fuckin' old for a lot of people (not everybody, sure) who have to deal with it day in and out from everybody else. Hell, the fact that it does come from a place of ignorance means it is a problem that can be fixed through discussion and edification. Were it coming from a place of malice then that would be pointless.

They are at least easy to discern as lips and teeth. I don't even know what is with his eyes. Are they supposed to be shut and he is crying? Or are his eyes really, really blue and really, really disfigured? Which one is worse?

Zenny said pretty much everything I felt the need to say in this thread now.

That said, time and a place.  Right now, that is probably not a fight I would feel like having as DJ.

This is pretty fun.  There is a few that got me pretty excited but I was full OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME at the idea of a Pam Grier version of Aliens.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it would be an improvement, but...a thousand times yes.

Rocky: I don't think that's very funny...
Bullwinkle: Neither do they, apparently!
