Pictures of your Games Episode IX - The Bigger Picture
I posed as a massage therapist to kill the consulate guy.

I'm guessing every country is doing quite a bit to build security and stop terrorist attacks. Unfortunately it is a very difficult problem. You only need one wacko to pull it off. It would be a lot easier if we didn't live in a free society, but how much freedom are we willing to give up for the sake of security?

I'd imagine they were overshadowed by the hurricanes. Montana is a fairly underpopulated state.

Wow, I caught the 9th inning of the Indians game. They made 22 exciting! I need that Ramirez guy on the Giants.

That is hilarious. Yes, we all deserve degrees based on our life experiences.

I would guess HBS will return to Shadowrun down the road.

I've noticed they shovel a lot of ****, they're like the opposite of one of those post-modern liberal arts colleges. Yep, although it is much easier to spot the crazy hippy colleges. Prager works pretty hard to conceal the fact it is just a shill for some conservative rich people. Also it's not a university in any actual sense of the word.

One of the documents I show my students is an account of a former Roman citizen who lives in lands conquered by the Huns, and he talks about how his tax rates are better under the Huns, and the law and order system is less corrupt. That video made me think of that.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - DA REAL DEAL
In the interview, he says it would be an action rpg/mp game like the glory days of Mass Effect and Destiny. First off, when did ME become the glory days? Secondly that sounds bad. I will stick to the hairbrained vision.

Your Gender/Sex IN VIDEO GAMES, and does it matter to you?
Not at all, I am saying video game avatars tend to represent an ideal. It is not really ideal to be overweight.

That's super upsetting to hear, but you are clearly a better man than me.

Your Gender/Sex IN VIDEO GAMES, and does it matter to you?
Since it was brought up, I have some pretty strong opinions on the whole climate we have today regarding weight. While I am going to be quick to defend anyone who is belittled or attacked over their bodies, I'm pretty concerned about the health implications of normalizing obesity. Living healthy and being active SHOULD be priorities in our society. Video games typically represent an ideal or exaggerated version of a person. You can jump higher, fight better, and run longer than the common man or woman. So why would obesity be common?

SW:TOR lets you play a fairly beefy character, male or female.

I agree with you that we should never look at any media outlet as unbiased. They all have their spin. There are tremendous flaws in the whole 24 hour news cycle that we are all subject to today. I just think the only thing worse than a society of biased journalists is a society without journalists at all. What do you replace it with?

Steam Haven
Steam used to run like garbage and had a completely botched offline mode. It seems to be much better now. edit: I originally used borked instead of botched, but after research, it did not quite mean what I thought it did. You learn something new every day!

Did it though? It seems pretty unlikely.
