I'm even willing to try as Japan, even though I haven't a clue on how to play the production/industrial side of it.

That's okay. The Japanese had problems with that too.

By all means, please.

I will get on that this evening.  I have about one game month to recap right now.

Finished BioShock Infinite. Awesome in so many ways, but I cannot say much about it as a game since I played on Easy just for the content. I'm not much into SP FPS generally.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

The black girl leading the Irish worker's revolution reminds me of CdM.

One thing that was a bit weird was the silence of the poors and browns. Apparently those people have nothing of interest to say. Unlike the rich white folks in the beginning who had lots of dialogue. I don't know if they blew their budget on the early game or if it's an extremely meta dig on prejudice or if it's some other creative decision or if they really didn't consider this.

That was one of the first things to cross my mind.

They're just that downtrodden.

Seriously, though.  What are they gonna say?  "I'm hungry"?  "Being poor here really sucks"?

I wasn't exactly clear why there were blacks in Bioshock infinite.  If the people hated them so much, why did they let them in?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You need a labor force.

You could find a white labor force.  I mean, lots of places had white laborers.

They weren't really white, they were Irish.

Playing Crysis 2.  It's sort of like someone remade Half-life 2 in New York and to be less compelling.
