And how awesome we all are. My usual "ooh, I should install and play it again" is FEAR, though. Used to be the original XCOM and JA2 for me. The new XCOM has scratched the itch pretty well, and I'm buried in turn based tactical games (although still no JA2.)

I think it is a bigger deal now because Clinton already lost to a somewhat unknown young senator when she was the bigger name in 2008. The fact that she was challenged again by a relatively unknown (albeit with a much longer history) makes for some heavy drama. It also makes her general election bid seem much more shaky.

I'd argue PG&E is much more dangerous to my home and health than my local government. I have much more of a say in the local government.

I guess it is a bit on topic, since my wife can pretty much whoop my butt when it comes to the majority of yoga poses. The only ones I have an advantage on are the upper body strength poses, which are few and far between. I rotate through a few different youtube instructors to mix up routines, and the majority of them are women, and they all kick my butt.

They are almost making it sound like Bernie will go 3rd party. That would be crazy. Clinton clearly has the edge over Trump, but that would shake it up tremendously. It would definitely add to the circus element we've got going.

I attended a free karate lesson once when I was about 9 years old, and I do some yoga. I also used to be able to shoot my kids nerf bow and arrow really far, but the dog ate all the arrows so I am out of practice.

Wonder if they'll eventually form a guild or some other worker's association. Well I know EA had to undergo some pretty massive changes to overhaul their image after getting lambasted for similar stuff. You would think that attracting good talent would become more difficult, and the industry would correct itself. Of course, Rockstar doesn't seem too concerned about the flak they've received, so who knows? Lionhead would seem to be a prime example of how to kill a studio.

I typically am not, but Blizzard has a well deserved reputation for delivering a fun experience that is easy to take in casually.

It was nice to see Draymond Green get it going. He looked like he might be getting a bit worn down in the last 5 games or so, which would make sense given the long season and his style of play. But he turned it on offensively last night.

What level are you guys at on Overwatch? I'm only level 6, and I find the level of competition pretty easy. I imagine it will get crazy the higher I go. In fact I'm pretty nervous about it, I am a sore loser.

Ok, that's some good reflection. Now what about the Amazons?

Risen 1 was one of my favorite game ever, so I certainly hope they can pull it off. Kind of seems like they couldn't make up their mind what genre to make a game in though.

Geez. This is not quite as stressful as OKC.

That does sound odd, bit I will give it a try the next time I have soda around. Artificial sweeteners make everything taste vile.

Well then stay away from movies, those hollywood types have all sorts of stupid ideologies bouncing around in their heads.

Well, female fighting characters (either ones you fight as, with, or against) are certainly treated the same as male fighting characters in D&D - at least, I think so. Fighting characters are not the only type of characters in D&D, though, and on a wider overview, I don't think you could really consider that principle to stand up to any great degree... Yup. You're character is created, not randomly sampled, so she doesn't need to represent a typical member of society. You can play a Nikki Fuller-type character if you want. Revan is stating that in the typical fantasy universe, females are weaker than males. I don't see any evidence of that in D&D, at least that I've seen.

I'm curious if Disney does the same. I'd imagine they do.

Ah, but then we would miss out on all the great authors who got their start as disillusioned soldiers.

I hate that feminist and SJW have made me think that any exposure to black and female characters is far leftist propaganda. Even should it be a heartfelt and honest action....that said she is both female and black and later we will probably learn that she's also disable or some such. Someone should really come up with a SJW checklist for character traits. I am sorry that you are so impressionable. You could just play games for fun and not worry about SJW or anti-SJW BS.

Again, do we know for sure that is the case in Tyranny's world? Is there even one game, movie or book where it is not such a case? Can you name some examples? Nothing about it in Middle Earth, D&D or even Hyboria. As I already said, the whole Amazonian myth dates back to Greek Mythology.

You skipped the draft and the racial stuff. I'm the first to admit we need some economic overhaul moving forward. I'm part of the shrinking middle class. I can't buy a home. These things suck. Yet we still aren't close to the Great Depression. We aren't fighting World Wars, we aren't moments away from a Nuclear Holocaust, in fact we are much safer in a dozen different ways. Cheer the heck up, you are going to be fine.

Yeah, and you don't have to worry about being drafted, you get to go to college regardless of your parents education, and you get to live tweet the entire thing to the world. Aren't you even in a biracial relationship? How easy do you think that was 50 years ago? edit: You can legally smoke pot in a growing amount of states! Alcohol was illegal less than a century ago.

Idris Elba sounded like a great pick. Tom Hardy would have been interesting. Best thing I can say about this pick is he seems like a bit of a blank slate, so with good directing it might turn into something. Although I'm also worried it will be a cheap imitation of the kid who was the lead in The Kingsman.

I feel like we had the 'back in the day things were better' conversation rather recently, so I don't think we need a retread yet. That's racist.
