Quickload isn't THAT expensive A real man takes death seriously, which I suppose makes it convenient that you're playing a fictional character.

Two, please. Pint or Quart, love?

Of course, everyone has their biases. It is impossible to get away from them. Even if you try your hardest to be perfectly objective, bias will show as you're going to focus on and analyze issues that you feel strongly about much more than those you feel less strongly about. I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with biases, as we probably wouldn't have theories or ideologies without them, but pretending you don't have them is intellectually dishonest. As to media, I would argue that Western media's largest bias is towards sensationalism, as they want as many viewers possible to make more money. I think what some people forget is that media is fundamentally a business and that their highest priority is to make money, so obviously they may provide more or less coverage on certain things if it benefits them. Bit of a tangent, but I believe the reason opinion shows, like FOX News and MSNBC prime time slots are so popular is because they provide the product of validation to viewers. I've always found those programs to be incredibly unappealing myself, and get some enjoyment out of watching them ridiculed in shows such as The Colbert Report. I find taking an occasional intellectual **** is good for the soul.

I agree about The Breakfast Club, but why Catcher in the Rye? So they go crazy and kill John Lennon?

If I may respond to this in a slightly more serious manner, I think one of the hardest things to come to grips with is that those who disagree with you aren't necessarily evil, ignorant and uninformed, stupid, or deluded. The realization that someone can disagree with you for reasons that are well-intentioned and thought out is a bitter pill to swallow, but is something that people benefit from understanding. I probably disagree with you on more than a few matters GD, but I won't insult you by implying that the reason you hold those differing beliefs is because you don't have all the facts or haven't thought things through or are a heartless bastard. Now on the two major parties in the US: I don't think it's much of a stretch to say that they're both ideologically Authoritarian Corporatists. They may attack personal freedoms from different angles and coddle big business in different manners, but they both do it just the same. I'll go back to cracking jokes and trolling now.

I think that deep down, way behind that veil of treachery, ambition and callousness, lies a girl that wishes nothing more than to marry a lumberjack, move to a little cottage in the mountains and have lots and lots of babies. Don't dissapoint me, Bioware! Most women have the secret desire to be ravished by a chaotic neutral barbarian.

The Apocalypse. Brought to you by everyone. Apocalypse Ice cream: Hellfire ice cream with brimstone swirls and chunks of Conquest, War, Famine, and Death. Best idea ever.

I second giving the classics a try love. I'd recommend playing BG2 first, but you might want to read up on gameplay a bit first. Playing BG1 does give you a bit more time to get used to the mechanics, but until you hit level 3 your party will die pretty often and resurrection is pretty expensive. Not to mention BG1 has a lot less action than BG2. In all cases, the games take a little getting used to but once you get into a game it's pretty hard to stop.

... I have a feeling that vegetable-flavored ice cream will take off any day now. We should have a Kickstarter.

Butthurt because PoE isn't exactly like BG2. I'd say the idea that a game isn't going to be fun because the ability to spend a few minutes before a fight casting buffs and the absence of death spells is a pretty strange argument, especially about a game no one but the devs have actually played yet. That would be pretty damn cool. But what about celery-flavored ice cream?

I took a year off to work after a series of bad things caused me a lot of financial grief. Recovered from it, but it was pretty hectic for a few months. What I'm torn about is that my current job pays $20 an hour, and that I have an offer from a large company we work very closely with for a $200,000 yearly position after I graduate with a BA. It's good money, but the 50+ hours I have to deal with is a bitch. I'm feeling kind of like that pic ShadySands posted(even though I'm only about 2 years older) and it's a bit depressing.

Something about a woman holding a gun is just incredibly sexy. Will have to remember to spam this thread with more Eva Green when I get off work and finish the current block of studies.

If every conspiracy theory about Obama is correct, how does he manage to be a fascist communist corporatist secular muslim zionist? Seems like a lot of work for one guy.

Not as vile as "bossy" though.

Well played. Unlike myself, unfortunately. Blame the lizardmen and their incoming New world Order. Death those who insult democracy! That should be written on all bombs dropped by the US.

Doctor Obamapus would make a fantastic super-villain.

Part time student and office manager for a small business, actually. What's your status boo? 12th year student or unemployed? Yet you took the time to rely. I take it being a pretentious pissbag on video game forums isn't particularly impressive with women. I can't watch porn at work, sweet pea. You have an excuse, or is the height of your day debating intellectual juggernaugts like "Valsulem" or "Mor" down the hall from threads about the merits of min-maxing? Bit of an improvement, could be nastier love.

Seeing as America is the country with the most economic and military power, every day is. Deal with it. Discussing this? R00fles! You people aren't having a discussion, you're sniping at each other with passive aggressive bitching and the occasional link. If I wanted to discuss this, I would do so in a place other than an American video game developer's forum with people called "213374U", "Volorun", "BruceVC", "TrashMan", or "Mor". Stop taking yourself so seriously, honeybun.

Passive-aggressive armchair warriorism, if you please. Whatever gets your rocks off. Consumption of vast amounts of alcohol or narcotics seems far more pleasurable than armchair combat though.

It is mostly obligatory finger-waging from entities who really don't give a ****. Despite angry rants from folks like John McCain, the Ukraine isn't very important to the Western world. Frankly, there is a higher likelihood of Alan Moore writing a rape-free story than the US or EU taking any drastic action over the Ukraine situation. Although, it will be interesting to see if the finger-waging is reversed the next time the US gets involved in a conflict. Your comment lends perfectly into "History tend to repeat itself", and the reason why the various ww2 and cold war parallels concerning Putin Russia and its actions are so relevant. You might want to read my previous post and about Brezhnev Doctrine I mentioned. Putin is just trying in vain to relive the glory days of the USSR. It isn't going to happen, because Russia isn't actually relevant to the US anymore aside from a target to rail against to appease certain voters.

Huh, I'm surprised this is still going on. Don't see the point of arguing over a largely insignificant track of land seized from an imploding state. You pseudo-intellectuals do seem to love lobbing **** at each other though.

They should get in a 3-way argument so we can have Volorun^3.

Thinking about quiting my job and going full time at university. I'm 22 and am only halfway to my BA, and I think I can finish it up in 2 years if I'm not working 30 hours a week. Any advice? Today I did an hour of cardio, going to do a paper and read Volume 3 of The Boys or play some RPG.

They're 50 copper cheaper and attract hipster mage wimminz.
