Have the three that voted 'no' been keelhauled yet?

Anita Sarkeesian/Tropes and Women in Gaming
New Lara acts frightened and vulnerable in cutscenes, yet in actual gameplay acts as a FemRambo who mows down hordes of mooks. They should either have focused gameplay more on stealth and/or drastically tone down the violence and focus more on the core of the series: exploring huge tombs and solving puzzles. But new Lara is still better than the Lara fraught with mommy and daddy issues from the previous Crystal Dynamics games.

Americans renouncing citizenship to become British over taxes
This whole cafuffle is quite ironic in the end, when one considers the United States was born from discontent over British taxes.

Anita Sarkeesian/Tropes and Women in Gaming
All that bullying ensured that she received enough attention to get funded, while in the meantime Warlord Gromug got left behind. http://http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tropes-vs-da-orkz-in-vidya-gamez?website_name=waaaaaaaaaaaaagh

What are you playing now?
You mean like introducing Emma Stone's character, then seemingly dropping her and never hearing from her again after your date? :D Yes, all the girlfriends in Sleeping Dogs are woefully underutilized and underdeveloped. I can live with them having the others drop in for a cup of coffee and never be heard from again, but I wanted more Not Ping in my life. She did get a small part in the Nightmare in North Point DLC (as mentioned, the story DLCs are fun, but really short), but that's still not nearly enough Not Ping for my tastes. I wish there were a date with Inspector Teng.

Syrian dictatorship continues slaughtering children
Fallujah. Yeah, there was some lip service given to how civilians were being allowed to leave but the lack of independent and international observers gave the lie to that bit of fiction, and if you happened to be male you'd get packed off to be part of a nude recreation of Khufu's resting place. Collective Punishment, use of chemical weapons (shake 'n' bake, phosphorus in built up areas as a weapon; both war crimes) and a legacy of massive numbers of birth defects and other mutations. Jenin, too, plus other examples in Lebanon- Sabra and Chatila most prominent. I guess My Lai misses out on the 40 years part. My first thought was Detroit.

lol .."weak cold" What do you Swedes do in the evening when its that cold? What would you do in a land of cold and blonde beauties? Find many interesting ways to keep warm and entertained I imagine. Urg, having a nice wind chill kick in here. Actually the flash snow across the country is providing it's random amusement. And watching a long haired german shephard running around the garden in excitement with its fur getting blown all around it has its moment of cheap laughter. Sitting down with a hot cup of tea and sorting out my mothers drug supplies. The joys of fresh pharmacuticals added to the pile by the doctors and trying to remember just what goes where... I suppose you have a point but I guess I am more interested in what social experiences, apart from sex, that people do or rather what people consider are acceptable in those types of extreme cold. Is that your dog that can open the garden gate, I am sure it was you that mentioned it?
