  1. Sanders had a wet dream : http://iremember.ru/memoirs/tankisti/vershinin-nikolay-petrovich/
  2. Too bad Trump's evil plan will be ruined when Hillary winds up in prison. On Sanders : http://hotair.com/archives/2015/08/09/bernie-sanders-is-now-effectively-a-hostage-of-blacklivesmatter/
  3. You were expecting deep political intrigue from a BioWare game? Snide comment aside, Orzammar was far and away the best part of that game, IMHO, largely because it was based around political intrigue. It still wasn't the deepest web of intrigue, but it was several hundred fathoms deeper than anything else in the game, and it would have been a significantly better game had the rest of it been more like Orzammar. I didn't think Orzammar worked well at all (the political sloganeering was pretty funny, but that's about it), of course I also apparently missed some of it. As far as Bioware expectations, I loved KOTOR and to lesser extent Jade Empire, so in my hero worship I expected them to keep improving, but got just the opposite.
  4. You answered your own question.
  5. This guy has been arrested 6 times in the last 15 months, yet he wasn't a deportation priority under Obola's new rules : http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/08/07/california-sheriff-points-finger-at-sanctuary-city-laws-for-cause-veteran/
  6. Playing Cyanide's Game of Thrones RPG. I have to say it's the kind of political intrigue I was expecting from DA:O but never got.
  7. I'm not too worried about US economy right now, I think it's pretty solid. Long term we got problems because of the utter disinterest/inability to control debt or unfunded liabilities.
  8. Sanders on immigration : http://www.vox.com/2015/7/28/9014491/bernie-sanders-vox-conversation Agree 100%, except he should've said "corporatist" instead of "right-wing", but I guess to him it's one and the same.
  9. Israel cooperates with US plenty covertly. And sometimes it's what you don't do, like Israel never reacted when Iraq was firing Scud missiles at it one after another during the first Iraq war, because US asked it not to so as not to disrupt the Arab coalition we assembled.
  10. ...which is in no small part caused by the US war on drugs. In no small part caused by failure to secure the border, letting the drug cartels have free reign.
  11. Yes, much better to have our border controlled by the Mexican drug cartels, we just have to hope they're professional and low key http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/22/afl-cio-controlled-union-intervenes-cancels-trumps-border-tour-planned-by-local-agents/ You think letting in even more unskilled low-wage labor is going to quench the desire of people to move here? Our immigration quotas are always full, what are you going to do, double, triple, quadruple them? As far as Mexicans helping us deal with our criminal activity, you mean like letting El Chapo escape? Mexico is corrupt through and through, they can't even begin to deal with their own huge criminality problem, let alone help us deal with ours. Try to base your suggestions on something at least approaching reality please.
  12. You'll notice they actually polled the party establishment, not the party base.
  13. There's lots of Mexicans moving here legally, the question is stopping those aliens (not just Mexicans btw) who are coming here illegally. The politilie article is a completely ridiculous piece of propaganda. Immigrants living here legally aren't considered foreign nationals for one thing, they're US residents. Moreover legal immigrant crime rate is very low. So what exactly did politilie prove? There no question DPS caught 3000 alien murderers over 6 years.
  14. When has our huge border with Mexico been 99% secure? When have we ever tried to make it 99% secure? And it's not so huge compared to the size of the country. You don't get it, these people are here illegally. They are not supposed to be here in the first place. If they weren't, the 100's of thousands of crimes they commit simply wouldn't happen. http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2015/07/22/alien-crime-wave-in-texas-611234-crimes-2993-murders/ Not really. You can make it more secure with a chunk of money that the US doesn't have right now. You'd need to hire more border patrol agents and provide more resources to that, but the current trend is to instead just slash funding all over the place (including to the IRS... where 1 dollar of funding usually cuts to about 5 in revenue). And it's not that we don't have jobs. Right now illegals are doing jobs that most americans throw up their hands and declare "beneath" them. Border patrol budget has been increased significantly actually. But it won't do any good until a proper secure fence is build, and they can do that just with all the money they're spending on illegal alien children they refuse to send back. And dealing with the government is hard for everyone, not just immigrants. You think it's fun for me to spend half a year just doing my taxes?
  15. You can make it 99% secure, it's been done. As far as legal immigration being incredibly hard, that's simply because there's a lot more demand than places available. We can't take 20-30 million people every year. Agree with you about people who worked for us and are now in danger though, they should get refugee status.
  16. It's not a single incident, it happens almost every day, and that's just the ones we know about. Someone I knew was randomly killed by an illegal alien for no reason whatsoever, just like the woman in San Francisco the other day. And McCain is responsible because he refuses to secure the border, even though that's the law. http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2015/03/10/texas-house-remembers-man-slain-by-illegal-alien/ If the border was secure, that scum wouldn't be able to come back over and over again.
  17. From the way Anna ridiculed Artyom she was obviously attracted to him from the beginning, you guys just don't understand Russian romance. Btw, I finished Styx, the stealth system was very well done. The game feels like a AAA production too, except some seams do show, especially later in game.
  18. Congress actually passed a law to "build a wall" back in 2006. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/21/mother-of-son-murdered-by-illegal-alien-slams-sanctuary-cities-politicians-your-silence-speaks-volumes/ I hold McCain and his ilk responsible for this. The reason people support Trump is because almost all the other Republican candidates are f*ing traitors who represent their paymasters in the Chamber of Commerce, not the people.
  19. David Burge ‎@iowahawkblog Thanks to Ellen Pao, Asian-Americans will no longer be saddled with the insidious stereotype of being bright, hardworking and competent. David Burge ‎@iowahawkblog Anybody know of $500k+ tech industry job openings for a lawsuit-happy SJW with no technical experience? Asking for a friend
  20. If Zimbabwe can use the US dollar, why can't Greece continue to use the Euro? Although a weak economy using a strong currency isn't a good idea, which is why I always thought Euro was a stupid idea (except for a while when they seemed to do better than the US).
  21. Only if one expected more than $4 million.
  22. Suzuki answered some questions on Twitch: Will there be a physical reward for PS4? This is the most requested reward, and one I personaly would like to see the most. For right now though, I would like to ask everyone to hold on a little while yet. How will the funding from the Kickstater be used? There is a Kickstarter Budget Estimate graph on the project page, so please have a look there for the details . Will we see an improvement in the graphics? Especially concerning Ryo’s face, I am not satisfied with how it looks right now. We are still in the development stage, and you can expect improvements as we go along. The background images of Ryo are from Shenmue 2 and in the foreground, is the updated version of Ryo. I am still not happy with this current model, and will continue make improvements. Ryo’s personality will come out not only in the character model, but also in how he moves and in his facial expressions. Will the original voice actors for Ryo also be in Shenmue 3? I think that (Masaya Matsukaze for the Japanese language version, and Corey Marshall for the English version) are the best match for Ryo and I would like to see them back. We are currently in negotiations for them to come back, so please wait a little while until we can give you all of the details. Will payments through PayPal be accepted? Now I am currently looking into PayPay other payment methods to help fund the project. We are still considering other options, but do not have an answer for you right now. Will there be DRM-free version for Windows PC? We are still looking into that option as well, but it is not something that we can decide on our own, and will need to discuss it with the other parties concerned. Will there be Shenmue 1 and Shenmue 2 HD Remastered versions? I personally would like to see remastered versions come out before Shenmue 3, so fans can really get to know the story and enjoy 3 even more. I really hope this could happen. The rights to Shenmue 1 & 2 belong to Sega, so I am not in a position to comment on it. However I would like to talk to them about it. What is the Rapport System? It will be a feature that governs Shenhua’s attitude towards you, depending on your conversations or actions you take. I believe it will provide a new twist to Shenmue. What is the Skill Tree System? There will be many different ways to obtain Technique Scrolls from—from the shops, mini-games, betting games, and quests. Those technique scrolls will allow you to use those techniques right away in battle as a QTE event. The Advanced Skill Techniques and Arcane Skill Techniques are managed in a tree diagram where you fill up the tree to complete your martial arts learning. What are the Baisha Stretch Goals? The $5 million Srtetch Goal will focus on the area, Baisha. This will be something new and fun I would like to include for Shenmue 3. It will include siege and infiltration events based off the Warring Kingdoms period in Chinese history. The events will be very Shenmue-like and will fit into the game naturally and will not be difficult to grasp. There is also the Character Perspective System. It is a character change system, but in Shenmue, it will work a little differently. It will allow you to play as Shenhua or Ren, besides Ryo. The choices that Shenhua or Ren would make would be different from those of Ryo’s because their personalities are different. It will bring out their individual character and add another element of enjoyment to the game. There are Stretch Goals up to $11 million, and I would like to explain those next week! How will Shenmue 3 be different at $3 million, $5 and $10 million? At the $3 million level, Shenmue 3 will be more story oriented. Going to $5 million, there will be features not present in 1 & 2, features that I really want to see in Shenmue 3 like the Warring Kingdom scenarios. At the $10 million level, the area Choubu will get a big expansion, and be like Dobuita in Yokosuka where you will have a lot of options to explore and have fun. I hope we can shoot for that goal and make Shenmue 3 more open world like. Is Shenmue 3 the end of the story? The initial story line contains 11 chapters. I thought about condensing the story in 3, but I thought that necessitate cutting too much of the story out, so I decided not to go that route. Many fans really want to see the whole story. When will the Trail version come out? The Trial version will require many of the basic systems to be functional first, so it will be released in the latter half of the development process. I would most likely be looking sometime after we get into 2017.
  23. I know it's satire, and it does have a grain of truth in it, but really it's utter nonsense. Every country isn't part of some corporate order, far from it.
  24. Apparently Webb is about to get in : http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/27/webb-close-to-2016-decision-insiders-say-clinton-camp-helped-delay-launch/ Unfortunately the Democrat party is probably now too radical for him to get the nomination. Looking at the electoral map, the next President will probably be a Democrat, so it would be good to have an alternative to Horrible Hillary and a Socialist.
