I am super confused by this whole thing.

It looks good, but I wish it was in Vegas.

You'll cut your hand off kid!

This was the first game that hooked me... It had the advantage of a mouse based interface instead of typing in commands, which was pretty huge when I was 8 years old.

I also liked the Porgs. For me, there was a really good movie with Kylo, Rey, Luke and Snope (and Chewie) while the rest was pretty meh. Luke is pretty salty, but then again he live by the ocean.

I'm just not sure which driven and ruthless barbarians are in position to take over. The SJW's?

I'm kind of worried about you, Az. Take it easy.

Damn straight.

What do you mean by special treatment? You seem to be implying that being a gentlemen and treating women equal are somehow at odds. On the contrary, I'd say they go hand in hand. If I ask a woman out on a date, I'm going to hold the door open, pay for the meal, and not sexually harass her. But realistically I'd do the same thing if I asked a male friend out to dinner, except maybe the door thing because that is weird. This has very little to do with equal pay or legitimate equality issues. I agree courts should not be biased towards women in regards to kids. I'd say we've come pretty far in that regard, at least in California according to all my divorced friends.

That second group is extremely small, they just shout louder than the vast majority. The former group is likely composed of almost every woman and hopefully a decent percentage of men. Here is an easy test: How many "third wave feminists" have you actually met in real life? I can argue that pretty much every woman I know is a "second wave feminist" whereas the closest I get to a "third wave" type is friends of friends on facebook.

No. Isn't that why feminism exists? To continue to drive equality?

I trust KP implicitly on such matters.

Ah yes, the valuable time lecture here on an obscure video game developer's forum. Is that satire?

I support this one.

I always thought Mira Sorvino was a pretty interesting actress, and never understood why she didn't get more work. Now I know! What a crappy situation. Ashley Judd as well. https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/film/99885932/sir-peter-jackson-breaks-silence-on-harvey-weinstein

I remember replaying Monkey Island after I got my first sound card, and it was like I had suddenly entered a new era in gaming.

I do hope the Net Neutrality change doesn't take away all these great platforms for people to whine about stuff. How much of that guy's life did he spend on that video? I gave him about 90 seconds, so hopefully that made it worth it.

I realized I left off Monkey Island and NHL '94.

MMO's have taken up some pretty massive amounts of my gaming time, and I've also met some good people playing them over the years, so it was hard not to include a couple.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

People shouldn't be allowed to vote without ID! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Honestly I'd say dealing with the DMV is a much bigger issue than the actual monetary cost when it comes to ID's. I agree with GD though, on a national level the idea of voter fraud is really just a distraction. We have auditing agencies that check on this stuff.

As I hinted at earlier, I think the campiness stands out more in contrast to Rogue One, which was basically a serious war movie set in a rather silly universe. Some of it worked. Chewbacca and the Island Chickens, for example. The movie was worth watching for the Imperial Guard scene though. I waited a long time to see those guys do stuff.

I took the whole family to see The Last Jedi. It was a fun film. It had some flaws, for sure. I think part of it is that Rogue One was such a different tone, and going back to the more fantasy-centric tone threw me a bit. I think I'll have a better handle on how I feel about it once the 3rd is out and we have a full story arc.
