Spawn On Me Episode 26: #MikeBrown lived in Brookago too

As members of the black American community, we are not immune to the events of the past 10 days. We don’t pretend they do not exist and we open the show, with frequent contributor Shareef Jackson, acknowledging how the uprising in Ferguson has affected us and we talk solutions. We then talk about how the gaming media tried to marry real world events to video games. We take N4G to task about its moderating practices and name names.

While all of this craziness was happening at home, the world’s largest gaming convention, Gamescom, was taking place in Germany this week and we would be remiss if we didn’t talk about some the biggest events taking place there. Plus, so much more!

With how immature gamers can be... this probably going to devolve into rants about he was a thief (which is alleged) and thus deserved it.

Probably, my hope is that people listen to our show and take away that fear of police brutality from the black community is not unfounded. I'm hoping it doesn't de-evolve into the usual nonsensical arguments we've seen to negate black lives meaning something.

Matter of fact, let's debunk some of that right off the bat so that we can focus on the actual issues at hand.

1.There is no such thing as "Black on Black" crime.

2. Black people have been speaking up/marching/protesting deaths in their own communities for decades.

3. If Brown did steal something (alleged) it is not punishable by death.

4. Rioting/protesting is an American tradition. Any looting that happened during the first couple of nights was minimal. Please watch the livestreams being broadcast from people on the ground and not broadcast news which has been royally screwing up coverage.

Also I would love to know from people who have websites and post here what they think about the N4G moderating issues we talked about in this episode.

Its a shame how many people blow the looting out of proportion and use it to downplay the public outcry and act like it isn't legitimate.

I have to emphasize that this is an extremly well made remake, it's the full game with all the content and features plus more. Visuals and sound is very close to the original, this version was recently published. I know there's a lot of predjudice against Dreams, which is a shame and not really deserved, the tool is much more capable than many think.

Just a reminder that Dreams is free on PS+ Premium... if you have it, go download it, and thank us later. It's a truly fantastic game.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26610d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake610d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69610d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26609d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!
