  1. Season 8 scripts have leaked.
  2. Correction: All my favorite PC games from the past five years ago. My favorite game from 2017 was Horizon: Zero Dawn, which is a Playstation 4 exclusive. I bought a Playstation 4 in April/May. This is the first time I own a Playstation. Horizon was the exclusive that sold me the console. I had wanted to play the Uncharted series and The Last of Us. Those Playstation exclusives were tempting but not quite enough to make me commit to investing in a new gaming platform. Horizon: Zero Dawn plus all those titles finally sealed the deal for me. After buying a PS4 for Horizon: Zero Dawn, I used to opportunity to finally play all those titles. They are great games, but I liked Horzon the best. Before Horizon, Sony had never been able to convince me to buy a Playstation. In the past, Playstation was missing a strong exclusive franchise in a very important genre to me: Western RPG. Playstation has had plenty of JRPG, but JRPG and WRPG are not the same. I have always hated JRPG, but I am addicted to WRPG. So, Sony could not convince me to buy a Playstation without a strong exclusive WRPG series. IMO, Horizon was the right move for Sony: it has helped Sony capture the one particular segment of niche gamers that previously had no reason to buy or own a Playstatiion. It is the same reason why Microsoft is unable to convince me to buy an Xbox One... or any Xbox console in the near future. The Xbox console series currently do not have an exclusive WRPG franchise, and it does not have any upcoming exclusive WRPG, (not one as good as Horizon anyway.) In fact, Xbox seems to be very lacking in exclusives... not just in WRPG but overall.
  3. All my favorite games from the past five years or so - i.e., the rebooted XCOM series, the rebooted Tomb Raider series, (I hated the old XCOM and Tomb Raider games but love the reboots,) the Batman Arkham series, etc. - are exclusively on Steam and unavailable on GOG. So Steam has my preference by default. Ultimately, what matters are the availability of apps and games, not a platform. Furthermore, many of my other favorite games had been available on Steam for years before GOG finally got them; (for example: TellTales' The Walking Dead series.) When GOG finally started selling those games, I had already played and finished them on Steam. I used to re-buy those games on GOG when they were heavily discounted, (like at 75-percent or more.) Then, I gradually realized rebuying games on a different platform is a waste of money: after I finished a game on Steam, I have never replayed it on GOG or anywhere else. I simply do not have the time to replay a game. I own hundreds of games, on Steam and GOG, that I have never gotten the time play. I really cannot go back to any games that I already played and finished. Any time I spend on re-playing a game would be better used on playing a game that I have not played. So those are the two reasons why I have been spending most of my gaming money and time on Steam and not GOG. If a game I wanted but not yet owned was available on both Steam or GOG, I would buy it from the platform that sold it at less. DRM really does not bother me as long as it is not overly intrusive and does not require always-on Internet connection, (like Diablo III, which I have refused to buy and play even though Diablo 2 was one of my top favorite games of all time. Nowadays, I have bought so many great games that I want to play but have not had the time to do so. I do not have to deal with any company that offends me with their business practices, which is why I have completely written off EA-BioWare and Blizzard.)
  4. These short episodes have been building a fascinating sci-fi post-apocalyptic world. Obsidian should get in touch with the people who are making these videos and make a game based on this world, before ADAM becomes too famous and everyone else wants to work with it, (i.e., the latest episode immediately trended at number-one on YouTube when it came out.) ADAM is still in its early stage of world-building, so Obsidian may be able to contribute their ideas to add to the world. Here are the three episodes that are currently available:
  5. Except video games are targeted at children. The minds of children are not fully developed, and they lack self-control. Which is why EA and other video game companies are targeting children for exploitation and predatory business practices: children are easy targets. EA and video games company were stupid to think they could get away with targeting children with predatory business practices. FYI, while adults are allowed to gamble, children are banned from gambling in every country, every civilization, all over the world.
  6. Except nowhere in the Nazi's platform or manifesto was communism or anti-communism mentioned. Communism did not contribute to the rise of Nazi. Two main reasons contributed to the rise of Nazi: (1) The Great Depression of Germany in 1929 to 1933, and (2) The crippling reparations and sanctions after Germany had lost World War I. Here are the 10 points of the Nazi platform: Highlighted are points that are reminiscent of Trump's nativist popularism.
  7. Except, your timeline does not add up. The Nazi Party was founded on 24 February 1920. Antifa was founded on 10 July 1932, shortly before Nazi won the national election and became the biggest party in the German parliment for the first time. When Antifa was founded, Hilter and Nazi had already made their fascist intentions publicly known. Here were the 10-point platform and 25-point manifesto of the Nazi party - the 10 points are erringly similar to Trump's agendas. Yet those ideas and Hitler's rhetorics had become widely popular among Germans. So Antifa began as a direction reaction - and resistance - to the rise of Nazi popularism in Germany. i.e., Nazi and fascism came first. Antifa came afterward. Nazi had been around for over a decade before Antifa started; unfortunately, when Antifa was founded, it was already too late, and Nazi had already started taking over Germany.
  8. Antifa vs. Nazi has a long history that goes way back. The two have always co-existed as the opposing forces: Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifaschistische_Aktion Given the history that the communist Soviet Union was our ally in World War II, and fought on our side together in the Allied Forces against Nazi Germany, I would say Nazi and its successor neo-Nazi, - whose ideology is White nationalism and White supremacy, was and still is the bigger threat than Antifa. So, Antifa and Nazi have always been archenemies. Antifa and Nazi exist like the two opposing sides of the Force, Light and Dark. When the Dark Side (i.e., Nazi) rises again, the Light Side (Antifa) also reemerges to fight. And Antifa has always used violence to fight against Nazi, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with Antifa's use of violence in fighting Nazi. So, Antifa has reemerged only because the other side, the Dark Side, the true evil, has returned and become stronger.
  9. And nothing of value was lost.
  10. Liberal tears... Oh wait, conservative tears! A crying party on Fox News!
  11. Another White supremacist shows his true color... ...it's yellow!
  12. White Supremacist Cries After Realizing He Could Be Arrested Christopher Cantwell, the vocal white supremacist featured in VICE News Tonight‘s Charlottesville documentary, showed a different side of himself after he realized that law enforcement had issued a warrant for his arrest. Cantwell recorded a video that quickly circulated on social media, showing him crying in fear that the police might hurt him. Link to Full Article: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/08/white-supremacist-cries-after-realizing-he-could-be-arrested/ So, is he a cuck or puss? Or a cuck 'n puss? Apparently the snowflake has not turned himself into the police and is either hiding or on the run right now.
  13. This video was made in 2014, before Donald Trump announced his bid for the Presidency:
  14. The DNC has launched a series of town halls to better explain the "Better Deal," and to call for public participation in crafting an even better "Better Deal" over the next few weeks, under the rubric #DNCTakeBack. As discussed with a bi-partisan crowd of 100 in the first such town hall (seen here), the "Better Deal" includes a number of election-winning positions that polls show have widespread support across the political spectrum, and that have already been winning state and local elections nationwide, even in heavily Trump-leaning areas. Until the recent banning of corporate donations to the DNC, the DNC was unable to support such positions because of the outsize influence of key donors, as detailed in transcript below. These positions include Medicare for all (desired by a strong majority of voters overall, and even by 41% of Republicans), free college tuition (desired by 62% of all voters), stronger unions (by an ever growing majority), and public campaign financing and the elimination of corporate lobbying (large majorities of Americans feel corporations, the wealthy, and lobbyists have far too much influence in politics). It is not fully understood why so few people noticed these positions within the "Better Deal" when it was first unveiled last Monday. P.S. It's a prank by Democratic dissidents.
  15. Official US Navy Training Video: "How to Succeed with Brunettes in 1967" aka "How to not get laid in 2017": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vVV8hRTxgE
  16. The battle "Field of Fire" from the leaked episode of Game of Thrones:
  17. Murder on the Orient Express (November 10, 2017) Logan Lucky (August 18, 2017)
  18. Baby Driver (June 28, 2017) Seven Sisters (Could not find a release date. MARKETING FAILS.)
  19. Link: Fallout And Skyrim Publisher Bethesda Rumored To Be Bringing Sci-Fi RPG Starfield To E3 I hope it's true - because Mass Effect currently has a monopoly in the space sci-fi single-player RPG genre. BioWare certainly needs a tough competition in the genre. Bethesda will pose a direct competition, which will pressure BioWare into getting its act together.
