Reverse Racism, Explained
I've posted an example of the "white jokes" he's referring to:

More of a social commentary on common prejudices, really.
MORE BLIZZARD: HEROES OF THE STORM Trailer
When I say they're not a creative force, the emphasis is on force. Yes they have great music and sound and they're quite clever, but they're not defining new genres or breathing new life into them.
Their art and character design tends to be one of two things (or a little of both):
1. Family-friendly Games Workshop
2. Americanized anime
Now, I'm not trying to shit on Blizzard; I was a huge fan for a while (mostly in Starcraft's heyday); but I recognize why I barely give a shit about what they're doing anymore and that's what I'm enumerating here.
I can agree with some of that.
You are correct that they reuse elements from other games and bring them together and polish them. Is that not creative for some reason? It's like saying that Sonic Youth was not creative since they used concepts from No-Wave, Glenn Branca and labelmates on SST, polished it and made something of it.
One thing that has always pissed me off about people trying to piss on Blizzard is they never even consider the ambient sound, the music and the environmental sound. I've spoken to people about it and it flies over their heads - "I listen to Rammstein when I play WoW"... There were parts in Wrath of the Liche King that sounded nearly straight off "On Land" but done in their own fantastic way in a fantastic world.
Not to mention the art direction and style in all of their games is very satisfying, weirdly psychedelic art. They blend all of the elements far better than most companies but actually make games out of them, grindy games but still games with many details and many elements. I definitely wouldn't say they are not creative. And as much as I liked Guild Wars 2 initially after a couple of months it was forgotten about completely,
Speaking of ex-Blizzard employees I liked the Torchlight series, both 1&2 were far better than D3 in art direction and gameplay but still became boring fairly quick.
The greatest MMA staredown of all time
Yeah, that whole guy who looks / nods down is the beta dude. It's crap. All these pickup artist sites promote that myth. Years ago, at my dojo we had a sixty-something black belt -- forget his dan but it was waay up there -- visit our club from Japan. Dude was amazingly fast and fit.
At one point, during the day's workshop we locked eyes and he bowed ever so slightly. But he never broke eye contact with me. There was no doubt as to who was the alpha male -- and it weren't me.
Print a Fully Functional Gun from Your Own Computer!
I've downloaded the 3d model files on thepiratebay.org or kat.ph
went over to my dad's workshop and printed up a sweet extended magazine for a russian sks I own. It's illegal I guess since it's unregistered, I bought it from a guy's garage sale about 20 years ago but it had a 5 ammo clip, I printed a magazine that holds 20 ammo. So I printed 2 and epoxied them together so I can put the mag in, shoot 20, flip the mag upside down and fire off another 20.
nice little system

No, They do not have profits in excess of $140 per year. And No they are not 1%ers
Sesame Workshop, formerly known as the Children's Television Workshop (CTW), is a Worldwide American non-profit organization behind the production of several educational children's programs that have run on public broadcasting around the world (including PBS in the United States).
Although Sesame Workshop is occasionally confused with PBS,[citation needed] Sesame Workshop is an entirely separate and independent organization. Some Workshop programs are broadcast on PBS, and although PBS provides some funding for those programs, the money received covers only a fraction of production costs. Other financial support comes from individual donors, charitable foundations, corporations, government agencies, program sales and licensed products. Sesame Workshop grants licenses to various manufacturers who create toys, apparel and other products featuring Sesame Street characters, and Sesame Workshop receives a portion of the proceeds.
On March 12, 2009, Sesame Workshop announced that it had planned to cut 20% of its workforce due to the recession.

Sesame Street earns $140 million a year, but somehow they get 10% of that from the American taxpayer when they could easily make it and make it quite well, on their own.
Those folks are all 1%ers, aren't they?

I am venturing a guess that they only show the one persons face because he is the only white person involved and they are not looking for a stigma of "foreign labor".
Italy is like 92% white, I kind of doubt he's the only white guy working there. I wouldn't be surprised if this genuinely is a proper workshop with proper wages, and not a sweatshop. But I don't blame you for being skeptical. Apple has proven that just because a product carries a crazy luxury price, it doesn't mean it isn't made by wage slaves.
Louis Vuitton is a French brand/company. What does Italy have to do with this?
It's a French company but this was filmed at a workshop in Italy. So, deathcow is totally right, they use foreign labor.
