What a strange comparison? First of all, there is a big difference between war and civilized court. But even then, after the war is over we damn sure want to take them to court for trial rather than just decide they're guilty and be judge, jury and executioner. It's why the international court of justice in The Hague and the Geneva Convention even exist.

The video also touches on enthousiast games press (i.e. YouTube reviewers) vs traditional games press for a bit, as he accuses traditional games press of pandering to large publishers by giving their games-for-babies high marks, which is why I assume it got posted as "relevant" and why I didn't split it off into a seperate discussion. Yet.

No, by all means continue neglecting it.

To be honest, I prefer his Let's Play channel to his reviews (because he essentially hates everything, he's like Yahtzee without the funny snark). His Outlast playthrough is hilarious and also about 3 times longer than it needs to be because he's constantly hiding in dark corners.

That's weird, I thought people here would love Mack because he talks exactly like all of you guys do. EDIT: Well that was a lot less funny when my smug looking smiley hotlink didn't work. EDIT EDIT: This Mack video demonstrates his problems more clearly, around the 5:30 mark he literally does a demonstration of why he hates AAA Combat. The problem is that he's essentially done this particular argument twenty times this year so he's just pissed. He's complained a lot that AAA titles have taken all the fun out of being a reviewer. https://youtu.be/j30PKp_Wub0?t=328

That moment you find out your school system is missing half a years worth of credits from more than 3 years ago but you totally still have legitimate proof of all missing points corroberated by professors. :D

Going back to finish a degree sucks. You're not supposed to get homework as an adult. Thankfully I'm inches away from starting my thesis and exam project. Hopefully won't last longer than a few months.

That's just a crappy photoshop. On the other hand, Captain Britain is a true comic character.

I own one of those portable AC's, about the size of a trashcan with a hose attached that I hang out the window. It gets the temperature about 3 degrees lower at most.

The American flag is a modern representation of the extermination of native Americans. /troll

Steam usually doesn't act fast. I'd say this is more a response to the last Assassin's Creed.

It's a subreddit that has become a popular platform for famous or interesting people to let themselves "be interviewed" by the social media public. Most gaming kickstarters I followed have held an "Ask Me Anything" session there, for example. As have many celebrity and political figures, including the president. Yeah, I knew what an Ask Me Anything session was, I just didn't know it was specifically a Reddit thing and I didn't know the AMA in r/iAMA stood for that.

Not that random, many people have pointed out how weird it is that all the cool dinosaur moments use new music (credit due: said music is quite good, it's just not John Williams) and the iconic original music is used mostly for views of... buildings. I think the thought behind it was to give views of the actual "park" the nostalgic Jurassic Park feeling, to give people the idea that after so many years they finally get to visit it themselves. It worked a little bit, but I would have preferred it if during the climax or even the final shot it would have gotten a reprise.

Really? I had no idea so many people used Reddit. "Two of the site’s most popular posts ever are AMAs: the one with Barack Obama and a conversation with a man with two penises. The AMA subreddit became such a popular section of the site that Reddit eventually spun it out into its own app." ... What a strange selection.

As somebody who does not visit Reddit, I have no idea what most of that means. Who is Victoria? What's r/IAMA? Why is the support almost entirely centralized to specific people? Why does anyone go to Reddit in the first place?

Agreed. One of the reasons GamerGate lasted so long is the people who were pissed about Grayson were lumped in with the people who were pissed about (and harassing) Quinn. The whole thing with Quinn was an awful clusterhump of internet hate and anyone who participated in that was well below human dignity. But game sites used that as an excuse to pretend Grayson did nothing wrong and anyone who pretended otherwise was supposedly just part of the harassment campaign against Quinn. Instead of acknowledging the people with a legit concern over breach of trust, they insulted them and decided to turn that breach of trust in a whole canyon, that distrust turning into a crusade. I essentially think this thing would have been over and done with in less than a month if Gawker had acted with a micrograin of dignity.

I believe it's recently been established that all that fancy drone technology is going out the window the second a real war starts. They can't search caves and they're hackable. What we really need... is raptors.

Author service. Malcolm serves as Crichton's mouthpiece as well as a reference to Sherlock Holmes' unexplained return. I'm told he even has the same line, something like "reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated".

Good lord is there a giant [citation needed] hanging over that one. The people who can't deal with it are the problem, not the people who do it.

Men can have many different types of packages. Some have evolved feathers for insulation, like the dinosaurs.

If you think that argument bit more you find that it really don't hold any closer scrutiny. And even if we leave all sense, logic and decently behind us, how do you even begin to plan actual isolation of population group which members can born to any family in any social, economical, ethnic, religious, cultural, etc. group that there are and they don't have any visible marks or clear test that would reveal their sexual orientation. And in this your isolation system do bisexual had to decide between living with other people or living isolation or is it based on some random system? I don't think it's possible, but if they stopped advertising this rainbow low caliber clothing 'style of gay', and forcing down our throats with sad stories and aggressive feminine ( but from a male ) attitudes, making us all look like an abomination. I'd have no problem, not even patronizing homosexuality, if the majority of them stopped being this stupid. They can live happily without a lisp, they can live happily without feminine acting. It's not a thing that comes with gay, feminine acting and general sexual stupidity ( promoting it like porn in daylight - "I'm here in daylight because I have sex with men, and there's hundreds of us, you should join in" ). To be honest, all emotions aside for a second, it's unnecessary and making us look weak and abnormal, begging for combat. It's also provocative for a lot of people are homophobic and it's even broadcast now. They get so much attention, they've reached the peak now surely. I would HATE to see it carry on from this point, gay-pride, but sure be gay. Out of curiosity, how many gay people have you actually met in person? Because I've met a couple handfuls and none of them acted like the popular TV / pride parade stereotype. In fact, most of them hated the stereotype much more vehemently than you do.

Well, what were you expecting? I'd hope for any of the new threads on this forum to have more going for them than iterating on one obvious and unfunny joke. That hope should have gone out the window just from reading the title.

Indeed. When the movie shifted focus from Marcus to Connor is when everything went to hell. I was enjoying it before that. Not, like, a lot, but still.

Men with large packages do not have enough representation in media, and the representation there is happens to be extremely racist, sexist AND ableist. Look at this offensive carictature of men with large packages from World of WarCraft! He's represented as stunted, ape-like scavenging animal that can only have such a large package by stacking packages stolen from others! For shame!
