Yeah, that's the thing, you can buy a couple PC's for the same price as a Mac, so reliability is a bit of a wash. Plus Macs tend to lack backwards compatibility, so even if it lasts for 4-5 years, you will either need to upgrade the OS or get left behind.

I always thought the entire point of community colleges is that they are as close to free as possible. Of course, here in the super expensive Bay Area, that isn't the reality.

I'd say it's more like saying books are better after the printing press, maybe? I'm not sure I like the analogy enough to go further. Books became more widespread, and with it attention was brought to great authors and new ideas. You can say that has happened to video games today as well, given that the graphics and gameplay has advanced and a much larger audience is available. But in both cases, there were plenty examples of excellence before the technology blossomed. *shrug*

That was crazy. I was watching it in the background and they were down by 20, and suddenly it got real.

Was there a point to that post other than the conceited disdain? I suppose I will never know, it is beyond me!

I don't know why anyone has hopes for the South Park game. They basically said "The first one was great, but we want to save a bunch of money on the sequel so we are going with an entirely different team." This is kind of what happened with the new Mass Effect, now that I think on it.

Except this clip isn't from the kid's show. Feel free to find some clips from the kid's show that are brainwashing the youth.

So I guess it's not a kid's show? No doubt that the Bill Nye clip is ridiculous, but the response is also ridiculous. Let's lecture everybody about sexuality!

Yeah, I survived much of the game by carrying those things around.

I agree with Volo.

Made me think of GD.

Geez, that 8th grader pulled 1.8 million views on his class project. That's impressive.

Sure, which is why the Andrew Jackson statue in NO isn't going anywhere. It is iconic.

I'm not quite sure what the statue has to do with historical preservation, though. I mean, unless that statue is placed in a location that is historically relevant. For example, my city will often put up different works of art in the downtown area, and then move them after a year or so and cycle in new stuff. Why are these statues untouchable? They aren't melting them down or anything crazy like that, they are placing them in an educational setting, it seems. Basically I agree with you that the reason is suspect for these statues to be moved (the PC angle) but I question whether they need to be there for historical preservation.

I agree with GD. First off, the idea that a monument glorifies something is a bit off. The Vietnam war monument doesn't glorify the Vietnam war. It is a reminder of what our country has been through.

Wasn't the original console only?

You won't sleep well for a bit if you do.

Prey has some pretty messed up moral dilemmas.

Trump ran a smart campaign and focused on the right states, that's really all there was to it. The voting numbers look surprisingly similar to 2012, so the idea that huge swaths of the country were suddenly fed up is a bit overdramatic. Trump was able to strategically turn some states and it worked out in his favor. That being said, I have higher expectations for how the President will act than I do the media. George W. Bush was treated unfairly by the media in many circumstances, but he handled it very differently. It's a bad look, but this shouldn't be a surprise. Trump has a long history of this type of behavior, I doubt he is going to change now. It's going to be an ugly term.

Damn, only 52, that's sad. That first Soundgarden CD was basically my High School soundtrack.

Israel also has a slightly different relationship with Palestine than the US does with Mexico.

Actually seems like a pretty good setting for them to tackle, given the diverse topographies they've already covered. I'll buy it.

You are way too organized.

I look forward to seeing who they cast to mumble through Geralt's dialogue.

The James Comey stuff would be a lot more damning if he wasn't just fired, and if he had acted on any of it when it originally happened.
