  1. Hmm, I can't speak to the ending yet, but this is still one of the better storytelling games out there. I don't know who to trust, I feel bad about certain choices I have to make, etc. Basically the tone is excellent and addicting, and whatever the ending is, I'm still going to look back on this game as a solid hit.
  2. The bible one sounds like an embellishment, only because it really caters to the audience that the secret service agent is writing for. But yeah, both these folks are pieces of work. Hillary treating people bad doesn't make Trump a better person, that's for sure.
  3. This stood out to me, and I was curious as to where it came from. Is it from Slate? Look, first off let me say that there is a lot I agree with you on here. I agree that rape of men is serious and has tragically been under reported and ignored for too long. I'm all for male rape getting the same attention that female rape gets, they are both reprehensible. I just don't see how heaping scorn on the concept of female rape does anything to help the victims of male rape.
  4. What study are you getting that from? The CDC says 1 in every 71 men has been in such a situation, while they put the female number around 20%. That's not even close.
  5. Voice acting that bad? It's hit and miss, but the real problem is the dialogue just drags, and the pacing is unnatural. Kind of like this, but with worse special effects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7xI73JcV7I
  6. I recommend everyone enable subtitles and space bar through dialogue in Deus Ex as soon as possible.
  7. But that doesn't fit the narrative where all refugees are also rapists!
  8. If Lethal Weapon is good, it's pretty much guaranteed Fox will cancel it halfway through the season. It's nice to see Damon Wayans again though. The guy is 55! Never heard of the guy playing Riggs, but he seems decent.
  9. I haven't even noticed it, to be honest. Gorgon is right about the framerate though. This game is awesome 80% of the time and weirdly laggy the rest. Also my loading times are messed up.
  10. I was looking for something fun to watch, and settled on Tropic Thunder. Someone had complained about it here recently, so I thought maybe it just didn't age well. I hadn't seen it in a decade. It was as great as I remembered. Basically the Vietnam version of The Three Amigos. Just a bunch of hilarious performances. It was a perfect way to end a long week.
  11. I would agree that gameplay and level design are awesome. Story is pretty good, but they drag out the dialogue painfully. I think if you liked HR you will like this. I do not regret the purchase. Of course, I'm only about 10 hours in and still in the first main hub. But I don't think anything dramatic will happen to change my mind.
  12. oby has to be the weirdest person ever. I mean, we've got some peaches around here, but he really takes the cake. The longevity is what is so impressive.
  13. These weird triangles I keep collecting in Deus Ex are frustrating. I love collecting tchotchkes, but they want you to scan it with your phone using their app. That's pretty absurd, but then it turns out that the app doesn't even work for most people. Lame.
  14. It's all part of our mental health outreach program here on the Obsidian Forums™. It isn't about what the OP is saying, but rather that he feels he is being heard and cared for. Good work folks.
  15. So far I've only snuck around a construction zone reading emails. But I will let you know if I end up in any offices.
  16. I enjoyed Human Revolution quite a bit, and I'm enjoying Mankind Divided just as much. Yeah, I'm in the same boat. MD has added a lot of stuff, but it is still very much the same type of game.
  17. You guys don't have different options available when you buy your car? Usually every car model has three different packages available. Then of course you have all the negotiations that need to be made. Basically car dealerships suck and so do video game publishers.
  18. With all the advances in technology, why is dubbing still so bad in movies? Ah well, subtitles are still the way to go.
  19. My wife was commenting on how unhealthy Clinton looks. She seems to be struggling with walking. Given the way her health declined during her Secretary of State run, I'm really surprised that isn't a bigger concern at this point.
  20. Sadly Gromnir is right, the best way to make a healthy soup is to buy the low sodium broth. I use Kitchen Basics, but really anything other than Swanson is a good choice, just check out the salt content. I don't get the unsalted, because I think I'd probably put in too much salt myself making up for the bland flavor. I know Gromnir loves to make it himself, but when he explained the whole process a few years ago in the cooking thread its sounded like a lot of work! My easiest soup is Cauliflower Soup which is really just as simple as it gets. I tend to throw some romano or other sharp cheese on top to give it some character, and there are a lot of tweaks you can do to it. My favorite is Leek Potato Soup (I love Alton Brown.) This one is a bit heartier. I leave out the buttermilk, and I think my wife puts a dollop of sour cream. You can play with the recipe a bit. Both of these are great for dipping a bit of bread. I'm ready for winter now.
  21. Selling performance boosts in a single player game, wonderful. Do they have it locked at the hardest difficulty, and make you pay extra to play on easy?
  22. I'm surprised on the soup. I assume you mean the restaurant and store bought types, since they are typically loaded with salt. But I make a couple really nice soups that have little to no salt in them, so let me know if you need some recipes. There are also a couple good low sodium options out there in stores.
  23. If your party can't put forward a decent candidate, they don't deserve your loyalty. Our vote is our most powerful tool in enacting change. If we vote for the same party every time regardless of their actions, we are giving up our power.
  24. Everybody? Really? How would that even work? You can write in candidates in 43 states. Each state handles this different, but we are not locked in to two candidates. I get that the GOP and Dems have represented the vast majority of the country for over a century, and they've has success with more moderate policies compared to many of the fringe 3rd party groups that often sound a but wacky. But both parties seem to be flying off the rails. These candidates suck. If they are not going to put up viable candidates, voters should not feel like they still have to vote for them because of tradition and viability. It's like a self fulfilling prophecy. People are voting for Clinton or Trump because they are being told they are the only options.
  25. Why isn't Johnson a serious candidate, anyways? He is on every ballot. Is it because he doesn't have as much money?
