Yep me too.

When ever possible I always play as a black male character.

I remember when I played World Of Warcraft. someone messaged me, and asked me why my character was "black" (Human Shadow Priest) When I told him it was because I was black, he seemed genuinely surprised. He said he didn't think black people played those kinds of games.

I actually like Z Nation way better. They actually have a purpose other than just surviving and were able to produce an original idea with the Murphy character.

Thanks for the recommendation. Z nation is pretty good. too early for me to tstate if I like it better than the walking dead but so far season one has got me unlike what happened with the walking dead.

Good grief, right?

He shouldn't have asked you that to begin with..even if you were white, you should feel free to play as any character that you want without fools asking 'why you picked the black guy'

I made a black toon for destiny (it's kinda recent right) and so far no ones called me out

I also made a black character for nba2k14 to play online....but like I said...the servers were full of other black guys...it was kinda refreshing to find lots of brothas to game with, without the usual white supremacists ruining shit for everyone :o

But yeah long story short, the anti-black shit is real

Whenever I can, I try to host games instead of joining other servers. That way, I can moderate and remove the guys who take it too far. Lots of people simply refuse to use voice chat...but why should you deny yourself something that does make gaming better when you're with the right people?

I'm getting close to finishing season 1. No where near as good as the walking dead. They come at you hard on episode 1 then slowly disappoint.
 
Fox needs to do a reboot/revival of Space : Above & Beyond IMO. The show had that reboot Battlestar Galactica feel to it in a way and that was way before Galactica was even in the works.

The more things change... I always get happy when I pick up a game that has the option of giving your character black skin and I love it when my son self-designs his characters that way.

If it's any consolation...when playing a basketball game online, the servers were populated with black guys (black guys dominating basketball online - surprise) making fun of the odd white guy who'd show up with a white character

It was quite different than the usual black bashing in games dominated by white players

And yes...I self design my characters to be black in every game I play.......because I'm black by popular demand :cool:
