  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. 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).
  9. Only if one expected more than $4 million.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. If you have qualifying insurance, either from work or personally purchased, you don't have to opt in. Otherwise if you don't opt in penalty is withheld from your tax refund, if any. There are many gotcha's in this, as the law wasn't well thought out or even went through proper legislative process. All kinds of special interest groups of course got their 2 bits in, like with any piece of major legislation.
  14. I guess I have a case of Congressitis. I should've said "the law means what we want it to mean", although I was also referring to what Bill Moyers asked Sandra Day O'Connor, but that's too subtle a reference. As for the decision, they've now extended jurisprudence to "what the law plainly says is not what it actually means", which of course allows all kinds of retconning. And the overall plan isn't evident, one of the main architects Gruber said many times the provision was intentional, it's only evident now when most states refused to set up their own exchanges. But fixing bad laws isn't the job of the courts, a law being vague is all the more reason to strike it down. The more things change, the more they remain the same, this is from 1947! Edit: Btw, if they passed the law without even reading it, how can we talk about what their "intent" was?
  15. Not only that, but slavery still existed in the US after the Confederacy already ceased to exist.
  16. Excellent news? Are you coming over here or something? The decision itself is just another in the long line of examples of judicial tyranny; "the law means whatever we say it means". The rule of law has been dead since about 1930.
  17. Let the censorship begin! Are they going to stop selling Crusader Kings too? Also this : http://www.nationalreview.com/article/420211/left-activist-peak-kevin-d-williamson
  18. I guess they better expunge Harry Truman from everything since he was a member of the KKK.
  19. Suzuki says there are other sources of financing, which is good because even if KS raises $5 million it's probably not enough for a proper game: http://www.vg247.com/2015/06/22/shenmue-3-10-million-kickstarter-sonys-role-pc-ps4/
  20. Texas is what's left of America. It's not that I'm a huge fan of Trump, it's just that I think he'll get the job done, in spite of his faults. And look at the alternatives, a bunch of lying corporate sell-outs, one of the most corrupt and dishonest people ever, or a Socialist who apparently thinks the Soviet Union was heaven on earth, since he honeymooned there.
  21. Some more info from Kotaku : http://kotaku.com/what-we-know-about-shenmue-iii-so-far-1712187835
  22. It's kind of open world and sort of RPGish adventure and you're supposed to live in it, like work, gamble, play arcade games, collect capsule toys and take photos. I think if you're expectations aren't sky high it grows on you with its charm and attention to detail. It's not any one thing but a combination of all, as well as a fairly new way to tell a story for the time it was made. I played the second game without playing the first, and that was fine but probably would've been better if I did play the first, as you're immediately invested in the character. No idea about the third, since it's not made yet. Really hope they reissue the first 2 for the PC since I'd really like to play the first.
  23. See, it's a win-win. No, I don't watch "reality shows" except for Pawn Stars and the news.
