Africa, The MMOG

Via Joystiq, an MTV Games story about a MMOG that attempts to encompass Africa in a game. From the article: "Less reserved, Adam Ghetti, the teenage creative director at Rapid Reality, the company actually creating the game, said he hopes the game will right some wrongs. 'The white American board developers of the large MMO development companies out there right now don't honestly have the right background and knowledge on the continent of Africa and its lore, mythology and rich history, and quite honestly neither did I,' said Ghetti, who is white. 'They just don't teach it over here.' The game is designed, in part, to change that."

I think one of the issues that we (Americans) have is that you normally hear of "Africa." It is the only continent that is mentioned as a country

Interesting. Especially the part where you refer to a whole continent (America) as if it was just one country (The USA).

Try again, better luck next time :)
