Okay, so here's the grits. I play Jedi Knight 2, if you check out my videos, you probably say, dur, no shat Marc, you made a video. Okay, well besides that point, I logged onto a Server to slice some flesh with my "boom-stick"... and, unfortunetly, it was a server in which the spoken language wasn't that of my own. It was Spanish.
Well, my user name is Mac, my real one is Marc, I've used Mac ever since the unforgiving days of the 3-Letter Initial Arcade Score's. So, I log on, and I say: "Oh you guys speak spanish, okay, well, I don't speak it, but, I'll try my best to have a good match. [Was playing in an 8 Person Duel Match]. I do understand the HUGE politeness that almost every player expresses in the game such as Bowing, putting your lightsaber down and crouching is bowing out of a fight, and, not attacking somebody who really isn't going to fight back.
Well, suffice it to say, on the top, left hand corner, is where the game, match, and server text is read from. And all of a sudden... it says, "Mac's name has been changed to Mac Terrorist. You have been kicked from the Server." And I'm like... What the F***!? I mean, people are so worried about color in the PSP add B.S. ... well, considering that, even Microsoft Paint knows that Black and White are NOT colors, and any Art Teacher can back that up as well, and I'm very much white. But Games or People, we're one in the same. I have Spanish/English Speaking Mexican Friends, I have Black Friends who speak Somalian-Tounge and English, I have Native Friends, I have Lebanese Friends, and I have Indian Friends... who are all bilingual, so I'd just like to say this: Just because theres a war going on... against some people that we're not 100% completely exist as what/who they are, doesn't mean you need to bring your complaints to a game where all its about, is an ancient art brought to life by a Sci-Fi Fantasy Realm.
So stop the racist B.S. ... because if Racism can no longer be based on Color, or Origin, then, lets at least enjoy a game together, whatever its content may be, as though we were best friends, brothers... and as one. Because when it comes down to it, we all bleed red, and we're on www.gamespot.com, cause we share a common interst. So lets enjoy the games, until, a day we hopefully never have to see, pits us against each other, in a video game that might just cost us everything.
MB_E102, Sincerely Your's, Marc.
