How terrible. As a film person that's the beef I have with a lot of Westerns. I love Westerns but the way they treat the prostitutes (not to mention the Native Americans of both genders) often makes me so mad that I, too, have to say no to the experience. So I'm joining you in your outrage! Yikes, Sam!!! How terrible. As a film person that’s the beef I have with a lot of Westerns.

I don't normally take the time to respond to things in the Exponent, but this is just inexcusable. Be sure to check out http://studentsagainstabuse.com/ if you haven't already.

]]> Comment on Fallen from Grace: Or; What Video Games Can Teach Us About Religion by Adam S. http://blog.samanthablackmon.net/?p=17&cpage=1#comment-36 Adam S. Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:42:57 +0000 http://blog.samanthablackmon.net/?p=17#comment-36 I’ve been playing through DQIX as well, I’m hoping it opens up a bit soon with an airship or something like Final Fantasy. :) The religious aspect is interesting too in how it tries to draw in the player. YOU are a part of this system, and therefore you are on this quest. Some of it is for personal reasons, of course, but a lot of it comes from an obligation to this system and your place in it. (being vague for those who haven't played yet, haha) I also think the hyper-Christianity mixed with some Norse mythology really brings the world together into a unique viewpoint alongside the visuals. Characters are super cute, tiny, and almost childlike alongside a religious mishmash that sounds like a kid piecing together a bunch of ideas they've heard to explain why bad and good things happen in the world. Oh yeah, and you can dress your characters however you want, much like an MMO. That's fun. Get this game!
