Well, as they say, Joe Louis received better treatment from Adolf Hitler after he won gold with the boxing then when he returned home to the US. How times change...

For that pop culture fun... How many of the easter eggs do you spot?

I don't know why, but I can't seem to replay PoE1 for some reason. I really enjoyed sinking hour after hour into the first time around, but every single time I've tried to start up a new game since I first finished it, I somehow fade out in the first 10 hours, and never manage to keep up the mood to return to it.

I think there's that question isn't there? Is the focus of gun control on crime in general, or in an effort to decrease the amount of spree shootings that occur in schools and the like? Because, (at least, in the cheap seats over this side of the Atlantic who hasn't spent hours researching it), it usually seems to be that most spree shooters are not "criminals" and have picked up or had access to their weapons legally. So who wants to do a breakdown on how many of these spree shootings have been carried out by someone with no criminal past, with legal weapons compared to someone who had to illegally obtain them? Also, for the bonus points, with how the gun-bunnies love to talk about playing hero and stopping these bad guys, how many spree shootings have actually been stopped by some local resident who happened to also be armed?

After several years of playing around with it, I finally decided to try running an ironman game of Stellaris. Suddenly I have achievements popping up.
