  1. How much was the bet? If it is going to be Bush vs. Clinton, it is going to be a groan/cringefest. I am hoping for Rand vs. Warren.
  2. Milo is the court jester that will make everyone laugh. Nothing espaces his level of snarkiness. Example below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=371XViG9gsI But in all seriousness, the guy broke out with the GJP-list. Credit where credit is due.
  3. It's not really photography if you do it with your mobile. The Lumia 1020 does the job alright. I am not a professional in any way, i just want *some* quality.
  4. Michael Koretzky, board member of the Society of Professional Journalists have asked anons at 8chan to try send someone to represent GamerGate in a discussion panel. So now there's a strawpoll for this. Get in and vote you lazy schmucks! http://journoterrorist.com/airplay/ http://strawpoll.me/4286750 I voted for William Usher. //edit: Strawpoll updated
  5. Well, that was short. I only use my mobile for photography and facebook.
  6. I don't know. You tell me. I'm not doing any research. No. I'll spend more effort to get you to tell me about this than it would take to just look it up. This, I swear. Now tell me about what people were angry about in witcher 1! There were cards of nekkid women you could collect by sexxoring the women in game, as I understand it.1 It was changed to pictures of scantily clad women you could collect by sexxoring them in the US version 1At least this is the only controversy I recall... Oh. Good to know. Yes, pretty much. I didn't think that you were sensere. My point was that there actually was a similar plot-point with Geralt as with Black Widow (sterilizied due to training and seen as monsters), but that was never mentioned. Because boobies.
  7. I don't know. You tell me. I'm not doing any research. No.
  8. This reminds me of the whole Internet hate-circus that occured during Witcher 1, when Geralt due to his Witcher-training has become sterile and cannot have children with Triss. The amount of people hating the writers for trying to make Geralt to be seen as monster was excruciating. Poor guys where hounded of the internet forever. Oh wait, that's not what happened. That's not what they were angry about. Wasn't it something else?
  9. Someone should draw him being a baby who's embraced by a motherly Vivan James. I am thinking in the vein of all those orthodox iconographs depicting Mary and Jesus.
  10. I fully expect, within about 2 months, Joss to come out like this: //edit: wrong link
  11. Any source for that? It's a rumor so far, so therefore no sources.
  12. Related rumor: FullMcIntosh "harassed" Joss Whedon on Twitter about how "problematic" Age of Ultron was, all ending with Joss deleting his account. https://twitter.com/josswhedon
  13. They are behaving worse than the avarage group of 14-year old girls. These aren't just some random people. Chris Totten for example is co-chair of IGDA DC, has written for Gamasutra, frequent speaker at GDC and DIGRA. Well, well, well. Look who just responded to the same thread:

  15. Sooooooo, what we apparantly need is a commissar an ombudsman that looks through art galleries and art forums for content that is objectively intolerant or anti-[insert religious group that is granted minority privilege status according to the Lex Absurdus Infinitum, paragraph 3]-ist. The ruling of the ombudsman is not of course final and can be appealed in open court, but the art itself or the exhibition will be closed for public viewing until all appeals have been used. Expect the median time for the appeals to be 3-5 years. ...or maybe you should just thoughen up, buttercup. Other people's freedoms shall not end where the feelings or religious nutjobs begin.
  16. "ideological perfection needs the blood of heretics to function" Sorry, i have to cut you off there, but that phrasing is metal as ****. The election may come and go and the results may vary, but so far, the sentence above makes it all worth it.
  17. Cromwell is a story of his own really. Committed regicide, told the Scots to doubt their own religion, managed to be curse a in Ireland ("Mallact Chromail ort!") and executed after his own death.
  18. Uh, when is the UK election btw?
  19. All foreigners, and many Britishers get this totally wrong. The key point is that we don't actually need to vote for parties AT ALL. We vote for a person. Parties are supposed to form when the monarch asks a given person if they can form a government. The government doesn't even technically need to have the majority of MPs. Hence what I'll end up doing is voting for the bugger I like, rather than the party they are in. Sorry, in scando-land such a thing is incomprohensible, as we inhale socialism and exhale solidarity. Can this "person" you speak of have thoughts and form opinions of their own? Well, i never! Either you belong to a group or become shunned by all, that's what i say! You can vote person even in such scando-land systems, but because one person and form minority government/cabinet, but that is usually just waste of time, because one person don't have power in parliament of hundreds of people, so they need to create alliances (in other words parties) to get anything done and minority governments/cabinets have bad habit to fall soon as there is issue that MP in opposition don't like (we have had several minority cabinets that weren't very long-lasting). Although our voting system favors parties especially bigger parties because of usage of D'Hondt method. In parliament votes parties can use issue party discipline, meaning demand to vote as party sees best instead of what individual MP sees best if there is discord in party by threatening its members with different punishments (closing them out from party's functions or in some case even by threating firing them from the party), which usually would make MPs in question job much harder (although not impossible but rarely MPs go against them, at best they just don't vote), which is not necessary best way to do democratic politics, but such things are hard to prevent in any political systems that are based on cooperation between large number of people. I wasn't that serious Currently the system bogged by drunkards "tapping into the conciousness of the little people", inner city-activists trying to tell farmers on how to grow their lands and various celebrities messing it up for everyone else. Thankfully they are too incompetent to touch the constitution.
  20. Volourn simply cannot stay neutral on injustice.
