Gorgon

There are probably still crackpots who would bother her on the street and on public appearances. I don't think that should be counted as the cost of doing business, whatever else one thinks of her.

Because exhibition pilots die relatively often ?

That's a fair enough comment I suppose. As much as I dislike the NK regime and find their entire Juche ideology a crude bastardisation of anything "Socialist" that at best only pays lip service to it; I do find it annoying when leftists try to pass it off as some "right-wing" and/or "fascist" regime. That said, I still disagree with the idea that any of their modern policies are based off any kind of Socialist ideology and instead are just the desperate scramblings of a tiny, isolated country under siege (see the creation of "Special Economic Zones since the 1990's). Nope, they eventually promoted non-leftist (and explicitly anti-communist) governments into their sphere as well (e.g. Nasser and Nehru). That's not really relevant at all. Relations with other countries are guided by practicality, not ideology. I was talking about political discourse and a common misunderstanding about what the word 'Socialist' actually means, besides being a republican expletive. Anyway we're getting off topic.

I think that's a little harsh. Some forms of socialism are like this, but not all. Socialism is a broad term that encompasses many different ideologies. None of which I support, but in fairness I feel it's best I object. Switch socialist with authoritarian and it'd be more accurate. A lot of people have Socialism confused with Comunism, most notably the Comunists who were as happy to include all the left leaning governments of the world into their 'struggle' as American right wingers were to perpetrate this fallacy. It suited both their interests. After the end of the cold war there is no excuse for not knowing the difference though.

It's easier to do a darkside-lightside slider and have dialouge options colourcoded. ****, neutral, altruist. That way you can add or remove modules with relative ease and have a simple measure for when you want people to react to your reputation. It's simplistic bordering on the banal. It would be better to go without and have NPCs react to how you completed certain quest, which would in turn have the dialouge trees be more complex and more work.

it's not 'bad' per se. It's just curious that these divisions are almost unchanged from the 1950s where gender inequity was a real thing.

That statistic just shows that it's bad across the board in related industries ? Fun fact. Male nuses here insist on using the feminine suffix. Think 'steward' vs 'stewardess'. When you apply for training, that's even the official term. Talk about perpetrating gender stereotypes.

For a moment I was worried that was the new Ironman.

They spend all this time unraveling a Twin Peaks mystery that turns out to be so banal, and finding Jesus,,, I mean Jesus. Nihilists don't do that. Not ever in the real world.

You can plug a phone into a keyboard and a TV without too much trouble though. Depends on where you are going I suppose. The Gallaxy note is large enough for my needs. Only thing that bothers me is android. Unless you root your device it's going to be filled up with bloatware from the manufacturer.

If it's just a boss fight then why not quit at the boss fight and call it a game. I do that every time I get an annoying boss fight where they change the rules you have been playing by the whole time.

The story is really terrible though. American jock on sabbatical type protagonist (he really does not seem one bit the covert operator he proposes to be) goes somewhere exotic and theres zombies. is it Turkish, they look Turkish ?. Theres a hot kickboxer chick who is in more than two cutscenes, which apparently makes her the love interest. Shes only in the game for less than a minuite though. I don't think there was any romance at all, although a cutscene is usually a cue for me to go make coffe or something so I might have missed it. Yes you are just waiting for her to get kidnapped from the second she's introduced, it's all pretty obvious. Part of it is just how games are designed. You can't really have the romance interest be the active party because the player is the active party, moving the game and the story along. So she becomes static per default and a 'damsel'. You could chose not to have an American jock on sabbatical and a perfect 10 local girl as the principles though, I would be all for that.

Turns out people don't actually use their tablets after the novelty has worn off, they use their phone, the large display phones are on the rise. Tablets are pointless. They aren't really mobile because of their size and they aren't really practical because of the lack of a keyboard. I could have told them that, whoever them is.

When I think about it it seems obvious from the context, but I don't buy that you can tell with the naked eye. Well, you can tell if you know it already.

I like how the sign says 'every time'. Like a couple of times a week ?

He reminds me of Mao, essentially a riding violent populist movement to weed out his competition while pulling the strings, unoficial like.

Was it just his turn. I mean if it was, it's not like there was a political reason to not appoint him. The fact that he is a dictator is not a political reason to antagonize a neighbour. Just sayin' The rest of the world can isolate him at no cost to themselves. Not entirely true of the AU.

It's hard to blame them though. I don't mean the Nazis, screw them, but states bordering on Russia didn't have a lot of choice except between two evils. Now that we have another cold war sattelite conflict on our hands no wonder they are waving flags furiously.

I dunno why motion blur, depth of field and film grain are considered improvements over being able to see what you are doing as well as what is around you. The motion blur is on for sprinting, but you sprint 80% of the time in that game. At least you can turn off all that crap. Resource intensive effects that makes your game look and play worse. Horray.

How is the nausea. From what I hear you can rarely go more than 30 mins without sudden onset sea sickness. Particularly bad when the camera is hijacked for a cutscene.

I hate that guy soooo much. It's probably all envy and I'm sure he's really a nice guy, I know, but the urge to punch him in the face gets so overpowering.

Reboot though. Why ?

Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut) is my favorite movie. I enjoyed the Director's Cut as well, but what ended up in the box office was not nearly as good and bombed badly. Common occurrence that they butcher the movie after the test screenings. Often it's shaky handheld action and a 'story' that advances at break neck speed at the expense of any sense of cohesion. Obviously a terrible idea with a historical drama.

How is dying light. I was kinda hoping for what Dead Island should have been. In the gameplay vids it looks like a lot of running and parkour with turbo zombies.

Make a new game though. All this remastered stuff is kinda sad and targeted at people who want to remember what it was like to be young. A texture pack and some gui changes does not mean you can charge full price again. At some point a stanky old matress can't be restored to the honeymoon suite centerpiece it once was.
