No. Should I have? No, but some people think I'm an extremist. I don't personally, but that's just me... I don't think you're an extremist. I just think you're tragically misinformed about a great many things. I would quote your global warming post, but I don't feel like finding it.

If all the characters were like Conrad, it would be boring. Obsidian did the right thing by mixing it up. They did say that they tried a bunch of serious characters in suits, and it felt stale. Yes, characters like Conrad are very good when done right, but you can't make a very interesting setting with nothing but them. I personally love the contrast between Conrad and, for example, Sie.

You still haven't offered up any evidence of this other than simply instructing him to "go see for himself." That's not how you win an argument.

Oh, the OLD Fates Warning. Never listened anything from them. Nice... prefer the 'new' Fates Warning though. The Spectre Within is my favorite Fates album, but the stuff after Inside Out is decent, too. I always find Parallels and Inside Out to be their weakest.

Conrad looks awesome.

Leland Still looking good. I'm enjoying these.

Hence the edit... But that's only funny when its perfectly obvious no harm is intended... Yes, because it's really clear that when I say "I wish someone would murder the creators of Scary Movie," I'm 100% dead serious about it. I really want them dead. Really. Well, you're defending LoF, who has often said that murder is ok. ...I don't even think that's worthy of an actual response. I'm not sure which is worse, the grossly oversimplified generality or the completely invalid conclusion you're drawing from it. Actually, my last response to you was just me pulling a CYA... LoF still scares me, however... If people posting opinions on the internet is enough to scare you, you're going to have a tough time with life, bud.

I would disagree, it might be outdated, as far as issues go, but it is not at all "lame" - it remains a classic satire. The age of the work really doesn't directly effect the quality. well, when you yourself have agreed that satire is at it's best when it is speaking about relevant, topical, popular, recent issues, time obviously does play a role in how easy it is to relate to for modern audiences. This is why people watch South Park instead of reading AMP. Doesn't change the fact that AMP is much more skillfully crafted satire than South Park, with a more poignant political message. South Park is about as dumbed-down as satire gets.

Considering he has condoned mass murder before, it is not a stretch to believe that he would not mind the murders of these two. You're thick. What he said is equivalent to saying "I wish someone would murder the creators of Scary Movie." Actually, come to think of it, I don't think I would mind that too much.

Guns as a means of self-defense is demonstrably idiotic. For every one time a gun is used in self defense, there are several murders involving firearms.

Looks great.

Socialist candidate gets 16% of the vote in Long Beach, CA

That's a really dumb blanket statement, especially because I've yet to hear you give a coherent definition of socialism. Hint: It's not simply "redistribution of wealth." -
Those graphics look fine. I don't see how anyone can complain about them - the clip of the gameplay looks compressed, but I doubt that's how it'll look in the game judging by the other clips I've seen. Great lighting when he's walking through the house with the gun out. Only criticism I have is that the animations look a wee bit stiff. I love the way the criticals work, and apparantly each weapon works in a different way, which is pretty cool.

Amazing show of bipartisanship by 76 senators...

Blah blah do you have an argument or are you just going to attack my use of the word "bourgeoisie"? Especially since I haven't used it?Blah blah the bourgeoisie this the anti-communists that. Do you have an argument or are you just going to keep repeating the same boring rhetoric forever? The fact that his rhetoric doesn't change doesn't necessarily make it invalid. The fact that it is completely vacuous (as I said) and mostly simply unreferenced **** and personal opinion, however, does. Yes please. I wholeheartedly endorse full annexation of Spain by the UK, or dominion status at the very least. Keep your cuisine, though. If you could provide something to back up your views other than "you're wrong because I say so," it'd be more convincing. Not that LoF argues flawlessly, either, but you're really not making a strong point.
