Blame Social Justice Warriors for Donald Trump
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.

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.

Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear RELEASED
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.

WoT Presidential Elections
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.

What are you playing right now?
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.

US Election 2016
That's hardly an epidemic unique to the Hillary supporters. There is a fairly large contingent of people that think Obama is a Muslim.

US Election 2016
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.

Josh Sawyer promoted to Obsidian's "Design Director"
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.

The REAL state of the USA : Fact vs Fiction
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.

Blame Social Justice Warriors for Donald Trump
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.

Blame Social Justice Warriors for Donald Trump
What an insufferable a-hole. It's basically him saying "I don't like what these people are doing, so let me sink down to their level and wallow around." I'm 100% positive that is a ridiculously dumb tactic and will only make things worse. Take the fricken' high road. You obviously didn't watch the video to completion, or what Whittle ultimately said is very lost on you. I watched it to completion. I didn't say I took offense to his convoluted message, I said it is a stupid way to make a point. Who does he think he will convince with such gibberish?

So the Sharks are up 2-0, which of course is part of their plan to emotionally crush me.

What is a pet worth?
I agree with this quite a bit, although I don't think anyone here was really doing that. But the people that act like their pets are the same as children are annoying as hell.

What is a pet worth?
Well I'm already pretty deep in the red on my relationships with my kids and wife, so I'm hoping there is some sort of price cap.

MLB 2016 - Even Year Magic
As a Giants fan, it's pretty crazy to watch. Sandoval was a favorite, but everyone in the organization knew he had serious nutrition issues. He's a big guy, always will be, but after a fantastic rookie year he ballooned and got sent to the bench for the 2010 playoff run. So the Giants worked with him, had him on a restricted diet, and he had a bunch of very good seasons and two great postseason runs. But he seemed disgruntled by it. He left for Boston, which I totally understand, I'd love to play at Fenway. He said the Giants disrespected him, which seemed a bit overdramatic. But now he's just out of control with his weight. The guy has so much talent, it is a shame that he can't see that the Giants were just trying to help him stay on the field by keeping him on a diet.
