    I hate to tell you this Malc, but you are way more chipper than you were a few years ago.

    Prince

    No word on cause yet, but he seemed pretty dang healthy.

    I was able to watch the video I posted again during my break, and I cried like a baby.

    Prince

    The news is still being confirmed, but we may have lost Prince. This has already been a tough year for musicians, but this one hits me the hardest. Prince was simply an unprecedented talent. Here is his out of this world Superbowl performance from a few years back... Rumor is there is just a massive trove of recordings locked away in his compound in Minneapolis. My only consolation is that I hope we get to hear some of those unreleased gems.

    I can't believe it.

    Actually I looked it up, he may have a skin condition, but it wasn't very clear. Wasn't actually a judgement, more of a query.

    You dont think if there was real evidence against Hilary the FBI would have charged her by now? You seem to foolishly believe the FBI has any integrity. Yes I trust the FBI, thats why I supported Apple assisting them with the backdoor access to there devices Ah yes, supporting pure evil you are there. Realize it though you may not. That is giving the FBI too much credit.

    Maybe you were joking, but I'm pretty sure the vast majority of games either have nothing to do with SJW issues or are pretty clearly not in line with the 'SJW agenda' Simply put, there is no evidence that people like Sarkeesian are actually affecting the direction of the gaming industry. It's all about the money, and games like The Witcher and The Division are setting the tone with huge profits.

    I watched the first few minutes, I love the idea of running into Billy Corgan at an RV park and talking about America with him. But why is he dressed like a hobo?

    Source? https://archive.is/4HIow#selection-4325.1-4341.5 Everyone has a hidden agenda. Except me! - Michael Crichton Yeah... if only Scott were as entertaining a writer as Crichton was, though. Huh, that's pretty tame. "I like to create diverse characters" is hardly the same as "I'm going to cram my agenda down your throat!" But hey, to each their own.
  11. Hurlshort
    That looks pretty good.

    30 is the best decade of your life. Happy Birthday.

    That's kind of the beauty of creating stuff though, you are free to push whatever agenda you want. It may not sell well, of course, but there is a point where the consumer complaints get into ludicrous territory. I had zero interest in Hatred, I voiced my concern that it looked like a dumb concept, but I couldn't imagine going out of my way to write reviews and trying to boycott it. That is crazy behavior.

    And I just lost 90 minutes of time.

    If most of those reviews seem to be coming from people that haven't played the game, absolutely. Nothing about the setting or storyline seems to be pushing some agenda. It looks like a pretty typical fantasy game.

    My kids are excited about Ratchet and Clank, so they must be doing something right. I was always a fan of the Resident Evil movies, but I can also just spend 90 minutes staring at a picture of Milla Jovovich and be content.

    In a lot of ways, Hillary is simply the safe choice. She is going to continue business as usual and nothing major will really change. She's actually a more conservative option than Obama. Trump seems to be running a weird parody campaign, and as entertaining as it has been, I hardly say it warrants an actual vote. Realistically I'll throw a vote to the Libertarian or an independent candidate, but for the purposes of this exercise, the choice between a career politician and a theatrical real estate developer seems pretty easy.

    Why is it worse to ISIS as an enemy than any other real world faction? Granted it is a lot less likely than China, Russia, or even North Korea, but those all get plenty of play as the bad guys in games.

    According to google, she was the little girl from Hook.

    That's hardly an epidemic unique to the Hillary supporters. There is a fairly large contingent of people that think Obama is a Muslim.

    Clinton will still pull in all of the democratic base in a general election, particularly against a candidate like Trump or Cruz. Bernie Sanders supporters don't hate Clinton the way some Republicans hate Trump. The Republican party had a great chance to win with a more moderate candidate, but that has clearly floundered. Clinton is a tired candidate with too much history. But versus Trump? I don't see how he gets enough support. Granted, Trump's entire campaign has defied political logic. It's been a bizarre election.

    Huh, I'm actually surprised at how well they are pulling off the look. I didn't have much faith in it being live action, but I like the style. It still looks a bit goofy, but that fits with the setting well enough.

    Ugh, I hate when I get sucked into reading the Codex. That being said, this thread would probably get more attention in the C&C area. Not a lot of traffic comes through this way.

    I've visited a number of places where it was pretty uncomfortable being the only white guy around. There are places all over where skin color can make a difference, but I'd say you are better off in Mississippi than you are in many countries.

    The whole video of a dumb college student giving another dumb college student with dreadlocks a hard time about cultural appropriation is blown out of proportion, too. These are dumb college students, they are being given way more credit than they deserve. Most people see that video and go "well she is crazy" and that's that. She'll probably outgrow it, or she'll move out to some commune somewhere. All these protests about her protest simply amplify her voice. If you take a side on these issues you are a part of the problem. The only reasonable path is to roll your eyes at all parties involved.
