At first glance I expected an article on Glenn Beck.

Another drug legalisation piece
Well, some were only banned because they were believed to make black men immune to bullets.

How do you think consciousness and energy are related, if at all?
If you run out of energy you become unconscious. Boom. I win all the money.

NSFW: The end of Mel Gibson's career (thank non-extant gods)
Folks, he's really a nice person, if you just learn to look beyond things like the occasional racial slur, beyond the antisemitism and beyond the misogyny and most of all beyond thunderdome.

J.E., describe the ammunition reloading process so I can see how much influence I clearly had on the creation of this game. Will I have my name in the credits?- gat dang it
Nothing is worth this. Nothing.- gat dang it
Maaaaan. Steam said this game would be 1100 megabytes and take an hour and a half to download but I think they lied. It's going to take like ten hours to download at the rate its going. I blame Obsidian. Worst game ever (to download). Why did Steam lie.- Fallout: New Vegas
Will we at any point meet a ghoul wearing a bucket hat named Raoul traveling to New Vegas with a mutant named Dr. Gonzo? Now that I've thought of it, I will be disappointed if they're absent.- Israel
Also bear in mind that the average household income of an American citizen is higher than that of an Israeli citizen which means that despite our much higher population, the amount of wealth we should have to go around, per person, is not only equal but higher. The respective sizes of our populations is completely irrelevant.- Israel
My point was that if we can't afford UHC, it'd very odd to be throwing money at a population that enjoys more spending benefits than we do.- Israel
So we can't afford it. Why, then, do we generously give money to a country that can?- Israel
Someone made a pretty good point on the news the other day. We provide Israel with billions of dollars in military aid every year, while they enjoy first class universal health care which we apparently think is a despicable misuse of public funding and a step toward tyranny. I don't know--it just seems funny to me.- Rockstar Asks For Favorable Reviews
You ride in one to get to a destination toward the end and then you ride in an armored car with a machine-gun mounted on the back in the climax. You don't have control over either.- Rockstar Asks For Favorable Reviews
I was thinking The Wild Bunch and The Professionals, but yes.- Rockstar Asks For Favorable Reviews
The Mexico storyline was basically straight from the 60s era "Mexico Westerns" that were, themselves, allegorical for US foreign policy and the Vietnam war. Marston's uncertainty about which side is right, and the fact that his actions mostly tend to do more harm than good, and that despite it all he's really just trying to serve his own interests--well, that all should sound familiar enough. I don't know if Rockstar was trying to make a similar statement or just following the spirit of their favorite films, but the game simply follows the tropes regardless.- Eyes of a pilot, lungs of a gnat
We have the inventory management of truck drivers and...the same bodies. We're truck drivers.- Eyes of a pilot, lungs of a gnat
And unfortunately, cRPG gamers enjoy none of the benefits and suffer all of the faults.- Israel butchers civilians in international waters
Holy **** thanks for the wiki link. I had no idea that sort of thing ever happened. - Fallout: New Vegas
