    Whoa, this actually happened? I never thought it was going to.

    Okay, so my friend is trying to crowdfund a small amount of cash for his advanced Jagged Alliance 2 STI Editor here at Indiegogo: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/jagged-alliance-2-sti-editor He's a veteran Jagged Alliance modder and released several editors before including JA2: All-in-One Editor. Since there are a lot of JA fans here I figured some of you might be interested. He's a good guy and a consumate professional so you can count on it being done.

    About taxing in the goal of preventing cancer: I read recently that apples, in fact, do not keep the doctor away because they can cause both cancer and wreak havoc on your teeth. Apples, public health hazard? Time to tax apples, or even ban them?

    EDIT: Wrong thread. Sorry!

    Got some doritos, mountain dew, hooked up my old NES and preparing for some co-op Double Dragon, TMNT and Battletoads with my brother just like the old times. Time to be extremely stereotypical geeks!

    I always heard the missing part as "where women grown and men plunder", but I don't really trust my own ears. Pretty sure the lyrics are: ♪ Do you come from a land down under / Where women glow and men plunder / Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder / You better run, you better take cover. ♫ That's the first chorus. The second chorus goes like this: ♪ I come from a land down under / Where beer does flow and men chunder / Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder / You better run, you better take cover. ♫ In this case, chunder means vomit if I recall correctly.

    Don't worry Nep, we know.

    So, at least in the US where fresh fruit and veg is more expensive than junk food, you want to tax the fat people. Except for the poor ones. I guess that gets more money for the government from people who are fat by choice, who are not the problem and have a right to make their own choices. So it's got that going for it, which is nice.

    This is making the incredibly false assumption that the financially weaker part of society and the obese people in society don't overlap so it fixes nothing.

    I didn't say they didn't introduce comic book characters before. Due to Quinn's involvement, I was actually expecting Gravitron to be in that hyperbaric chamber instead of Deathlok. EDIT: Yes, within alloted edit time! Personally, I'm thinking the Gail Simone//UDON variant of Taskmaster would fit in this show extremely well. Someone send Joss Whedon a memo!

    What? They never had the rights in the first place. It was a fan-made sequel until they decided to become legit developers and had to drop the franchise. It has nothing to do with Dungeon Keeper Mobile - this development happened before Dungeon Keeper Mobile was even announced. Anyway, as an early access backer I'm still on the fence on War for the Overworld. All it's done successfully so far is make me want to play the older Dungeon Keeper games instead. It looks the part, but it so far doesn't have any of the charm - they are playing it far too straight.

    What thread have you been reading? Very few people in this thread have advocated regulation and taxing as a good solution, most even hesitated before considering it a "possible" solution and almost everyone that brought it up followed it with "but this is a bad solution because" or "but I don't agree with this idea because of [reasons you just specified]" and I have yet to see a single post that didn't understand the difference between education and regulation. Most posts have been against the idea of a nanny state. I mean, it's easy to make yourself look like the voice of wisdom if you just go ahead and marginalize the entire thread and everyone in it as left wing hippies, but how about you participate in discussion instead of giving yourself fake reasons to pretend you're above it all because you aren't brainwashed by the government. (See how it feels when you get marginalized just to make a point?)

    Yeah me too, it was nicely plotted, tied in with the MCU, 'introduced' a comic book character, had recurring non-main characters making it feel more connected, developed some characters and surprised me a couple of times. I think I've sortof made my peace with this show being more "Chuck" in style than it is "The Avengers" despite being interconnected, now that I've done that I enjoy it for the cheesy entertainment it is.

    I read somewhere that research has shown that the inclusion of healthy items on fast food restaurants' menus has actually had the opposite effect for some reason - people will order more unhealthy food in places that offer healthier food.

    I thought life expectancy was part of the problem?

    Causing or allowing your child to become morbidly obese is harmful to the child, who is your responsibility. Your are causing or allowing your child to be harmed. That's why it's easy to label it as neglect or abuse, because honestly the facts support that label. But as you said, the threshold is the big problem there.

    I've got to say that as an Englishman i'm a little flattered, I never knew we and our language were so popular. My favourite one is "Your in America, you speak American." It's much more subtle than the racial slurs in it's horrific stupidity.

    I picked up a pretty bad flu and I've got deadlines to make.

    I don't know how to stop childhood obesity - obviously ostracizing fat people hasn't worked since it's only getting worse. I'm not sure if it's other people's jobs to combat obesity. On the other hand, I think letting your child get morbidly obese because you're feeding them badly is essentially child neglect, and that if there has to be regulation, I'd start with penalizing those who apparently cannot take care of their children properly. I'm not for that solution, I'd rather leave parenting to the parents rather than anything else and if you start enforcing something like that, where is the line drawn that you'll stop enforcing? On the other hand, it's pretty much the only thing that seems close to fair to me - it would only hit the problem and not everyone. And who am I to say that they apparently cannot take care of their children? I have to admit, I personally eat a lot of cheap **** simply because it's cheap and easy and eating well all the time is, quite frankly, a bit out of my money and time-budget. I can't even imagine how much this problem increases when you add children to the mix. You could make products less unhealthy, but I find it likely this will increase the cost and put everyone back to square one. So yeah, difficult problem, slippery slope and all that. The only thing that seems to be sure that if there is a solution, buggering everybody with increased prices isn't it.

    But they are too strong to battle.

    Criminal cartels? Are you suggesting sugar bootleggers will appear? Man, that is a great idea for a cartoon.

    Second hand fart smell after eating the wrong thing is just as damaging as second hand smoke, potentially even more. Obviously you cannot be allowed to make your own decisions in this - you may hurt other people!

    Since this sometimes doubles at the movie news thread, Jesse Eisenberg was cast as Lex Luthor in the untitled Superman/Batman spinoff/sequel to Man of Steel. Jeremy Irons was also cast, as Alfred the Butler.

    I'm among those who for some reason thought they were dwarves who lived in trees. Hah! Weird.
