Actually being charged for indecency. One of them is a Canadian, responded to this with "**** your culture" and seems to be a scumbag in dire need of a public flogging. http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015/06/08/Sbah-quake-nudist-dismisses-superstition/

They should count negatively.

It's how my compa....err I mean. That's exactly the kind of thing a shady person would do.

I know it's silly, but perhaps the folks at Bethesda would figure they don't need him in this hypothetical.

Lord knows they desperately need someone who can actually write a character. Didn't FO3 get awards for the writing ?

Oh, I thought he meant methods in general (lower stuff than Delta Force abducting guys from Libya or Tomahawks) rather than specifically with the NSA's spy on everyone program, which I agree is useless. Faith is required for that either way I think, the nature of it has to be somewhat secretive so no one knows if actual plots were stopped. Additionally, there is the issue that vigilance is good independently of results.

mkreku with the scoop! Well, a surprise but he should find work easily and soon.

Off to Bethesda ?

Avellone's leaving Obsidian, it seems. https://twitter.com/ChrisAvellone/status/608274470768222209 I have officially left Obsidian Entertainment to accept a sudden opening as the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts. https://twitter.com/ChrisAvellone/status/608274687353692161 (The first part is serious, but much love and well wishes to my fellow devs, good folks one and all.)

In game, apparently.

Never thought there was a message to "Be the Batman". Parents beware, I guess. As for deciding to engage in combat with someone, well, the famous Sun Tzu adage applies

Got Doorkickers, Star Ruler 2 and Airlne Tycoon. And Xenonauts, at last. Hm, have 17.9% of GOG's catalogue, heck of a backlog.

[citation needed] To be fair, you're not going to find SF actions in the news all that much or breakdowns of plots foiled by the CIA. They have a lot of methods.

There is no Magneto issue, though.

Developing is far harder, well, if you want to do it right anyway Patching can be pretty easy and low effort, particularly with this shallow context.

I think Snowden did it out of some idealism for his country not trying to undermine it. Guy seems faily naive in some ways - the anecdote of his surprise that SF people enjoyed killing and hunting people rather than something grandiose as defending freedom, for example. I guess they have a problem with some of the players, not the team, so to speak.

Spiritual successor (no shortage of those...) to Railroad Tycoon https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/combinegames/rails-and-riches

Developing is harder than patching, and people are terribly lazy.

Probably have to charge with something other than treason - what enemy with which the US is at war did he provide aid to ? Stronger case to charge him with espionage, I suppose.

Have been meaning to get around to reading that book. Something about Damon irritates me in his performances, or perhaps it's just him personally.

Er, how are they undermining what the West stands for (whatever that is, really) ? Seems the program Snowden exposed has a better claim to that feat.

Mucking around with GTA 5 Online

Yeah, think you're being needlessly worried there.
