  1. Finished Dishonored 2 with Emily. I tried not to kill anyone, but apparently a couple people did die from untimely accidents. That being said, it was a great playthrough and I enjoyed the challenge of not using any magic.
  2. It's a tough case. I mean I can see why a jury doesn't want to send the officer to prison. The reality is he was trained to handle this type of situation in this manner. We need to drastically think the way we are training officers to respond to these scenarios.
  3. If the Yankees land Stanton, it is pretty clear that Jeter is still working for his old team.
  4. I remember losing terribly for a couple matches.
  5. I'm guessing Tarantino's ST would just be a couple crew members stuck in a cave on a planet talking a lot and trying to figure out who the bad guy is. Which I'd totally watch.
  6. That 2nd one isn't in an area I frequent much, but in the first thread you've got a lot of regulars like Shady and Monte supporting the idea that women struggle to meet certain physical requirements, while others argue that women can fire a gun as well as a man. Hardly comes across as anything like you characterized it. Of course, maybe I'm just reading what I expect to read out of your statement.
  7. I enjoyed that book. It might turn out pretty well.
  8. Hah, I remember that discussion. No one said anything of the sort. That's really the thing, a lot of times people hear what they want to hear rather than actually engaging in a discussion. I am sure we all do it. We post something and expect that people will react in a certain way, and tailor our response to our expectations instead of the actual response.
  9. Do you think you can explain the humor here? I don't get it.
  10. Pretty impressive work by this guy: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-mosul-eye-20171207-story.html
  11. I get the impression that being critical = hating in Sonic's eyes. In reality, being critical of politicians is a great American past time. This isn't Russia.
  12. Oh I like the Bosch actor, that is why I gave it a chance. I just couldn't get into the character. It may have improved, I only watched an episode or two.
  13. There is nowhere near 10 trump haters posting in the politics thread.
  14. Super Mario Odyssey is amazing and video game award shows are dumb.
  15. While choosing knives for my wedding registry, I really wanted knives with stainless steel handles. My wife said no. 15 years later I am pretty sure she made the right choice, since I still have all my fingers.
  16. Welcome to the forums
  17. Yeah, that would freak me out as well, particularly if it was intentional. Also, of course a student of mine being a murderer would freak me out. edit: It SHOULD freak you out. You should take a moment to think "Was there anything I could have done to make a difference there?" Most of the time it is probably a no, but I'd say it is much more irresponsible to not acknowledge the situation. Volo is right that it has little comparison to selling a wedding cake, but maybe he should spend less time trying to derail the thread because of a silly meme.
  18. If I found out I sold knives or ropes to a person that used them in a murder, I would be pretty freaked out.
  19. Zork's a good one, but my first text game was Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Also I feel like Oregon Trail should have made my list. Curses!
  20. Alright, then I'd be happy to push PEGI and the ESRB to up the age on games with loot boxes.
  21. I have heard the same thing about violent video games. Aren't most of these games rated Mature?
  22. It isn't that I think EA can regulate itself, it is that I am cautious of allowing the government to step in unless it is a legitimate health concern. Them being greedy and consumers being dumb enough to feed that greed is not grounds for Big Brother stepping in to sheild us. I also believe it is early and the market will correct itself.
  23. The deciding factor in many multiplayer games isn't who is good, it is who has the most time to sink into it. I guess that is better than paying to be leet, but it still seems pretty silly. It is why I tend to stay away from the whole idea of competition in games. Plus I am old and slow. All of this matches up pretty well with the way the real world works.
  24. Hmm...Kamala Harris is a pretty smart choice. I can't see the dem leadership being smart enough to choose her.
