When I lived in Japan, most of the Japanese I knew would get offended by it, or at least felt they should. I'd ask them "Why? It's just a shortening of 'Japanese'. Why is it offensive?" The answer always was because they saw it used in movies as though it was an insult (basically, all the WW2 movies they saw), so they felt they should be offended by it.  |

Well yeah that's how slurs are created, that sounds right. My racist grand mother called all asians 'nips' which I assume is a short form of Nippon. You wouldn't call someone from Pakistan a 'Paki'.
Also, I don't understand the Jewish women jap connection.

Which part of the Midwest are you from? Anecdote: A construction manager and I got on the topic of root beers one day, because he doesn't drink. Being an East Coast Jew he hadn't ever had Faygo and thought I was calling him a name when I said he should try one. I made sure to get him a nice 24oz bottle when he came to town, along with his requested Dad's. |

Why would you ever need to look for Faygo unless you're in really rich neighborhoods or something?

Redpop and the aforementioned Root Beer are damn tasty. I recall Grape and Cream Soda also being pretty good. They were one of the only companies to make those flavors growing up. Since my family came across the border at Detroit in 1889ish, Dad had lots of ties to the city. We'd have Faygo in the garage fridge all summer. That's one reason. |

So, what's the current state of the PS4/Xbox One war?
I'm gonna upgrade for Christmas, and I'm leaning towards the PS4. We had a 360 this last cycle and never got around to a PS3.

The PS4 continues to outsell the Xbox One at a 2:1 ratio despite the unbundling of the "integral" Kinect from the Xbox One and the commensurate price drop. 3rd party cross-platform AAA titles typically run better on the PS4 unless you are fucking Ubisoft. Fucking Ubisoft. For exclusives it depends on what you like and who you ask. If your life would be over without, say, Halo 5, then of course you should get an Xbox One. For me I preferred the exclusives on the PS3 over the Xbox 360 (I played my PS3 much more than my Xbox 360) and for the PS4 it's the same (so far). On the Xbox One the only exclusive game that interests me on the Xbox One is the soon to be released Sunset Overdrive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS_i2HTJp2oPhantom Dust is also an upcoming Xbox One exclusive but there's no release date on that one so it could be years before it comes out. |

Phantom Dust is literally the only game I would get an Xbox for based on what they've released, but no one is going to play that game at a high level on that console because no good players own that console. I hope Microsoft names their next console the Xbox Bro. The XBro. Fuck them.

The only reasons to buy an xbox one is if, as stated, you want to play the halo remakes or if you have a large number of friends who already own it that you would play with. Some people also have an absurd loyalty between controllers despite the fact they are basically the same shape now and only differ in swapping where the left analog and dpads are.
Some, even worse people, also really care about their pointless acheivement score and don't want to lose it. We should feel bad for those people.

Ubisoft just announced that they aim for 'platform parity' between the XBone and PS4 of Assassin's Creed Unity and also plan that for future titles of the AC franchise to 'avoid discussions about the differences in performance'. This means that both versions of AC: Unity are locked at 30 fps and run at 900p even though the PS4 version could be better.
I'm at a loss for words regarding that particular stupidity

Destiny is the best Halo remake, so no reason to get a Xbox for that.

Does that extend to the PC version? I heard rumors that the PC version of Watch_Dogs was intentionally crippled and this was the reason that was being thrown around but it was all tin foil hats back then as far as I knew. |

Finally got a PS4.
What are the good coop games to play?
I guess "couch" coop is the term now? I just want something fun that isn't Diablo 3 because I have hundreds of hours in that on PC and it might crush me to play through Acts 1-4 again.

Couch coop is dead because devs would rather sell 4 people 4 games than 1 game to share.

PS 4 needs a good racer, Driveclub appears to be pretty much shit. Hopefully project cars will scratch that itch, I'm tired of barging in on my son downstairs to play Forza 4 on ye olde 360.
