What are you playing right now?
I just love the character progression and story of BG. You start as little more than a child, there is a tangible sense of fear as you set out in the world, and the climb to the top is perfectly paced. Dang it, now I want to play.

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.)

US Election 2016, part II
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.

The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
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.

The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
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.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
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.

What are you playing right now?
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.

Nom Nom Nom - The Food Thread
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.

WarCraft movie is getting slaughtered by critics
I'm curious if Disney does the same. I'd imagine they do.

The Kickstarter Thread
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.

The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
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.
