NON-Obsidian South Park RPG Sequel Announced!
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/south-park-stick-of-truth-sells-5-million-sequel-c/1100-6434743/ Ubi paid 3.3 million dollars for the game + whatever expenses they had afterwards and according to that article the game has sold 5 million copies now. I imagine the game was quite profitable for Ubisoft in the end. Man, that article really shows little respect to the work Obsidian did. "This will be better because we made it in house." Bleh.

XCOM 2
Hah, that's kind of cool. Not really the romance part, but the fact the soldiers act closer when they've been in the bleep with each other.

It's a pretty complex question. You'd have to go back a bit further to really stop the exploitation of Africa for the slave trade. If I could stop Portugal from slowly draining the Kongo Kingdom of life, I definitely would. That is probably your point of origin when it comes to the African slave trade. But really you would need to find a way to change the entire momentum of Europe during the Age of Exploration, which would dramatically shift modern history as a whole. They needed cheap labor, cutting off Africa would only force them to go elsewhere.

Last night I played hockey and felt good, but today I've got a terrible sore throat and feel exhausted. I'm hoping it passes quick, I go to Vegas next Sunday.

Are you going to release Tyranny on GOG?
If they announce it now, they are going to upset people that do not want to buy it on Steam. If they announce it closer to release, they are going to upset the same group of people. What if the situation changes? What do they actually gain by announcing distribution this early?

Gender equality
First I'm not talking about adult mods necessarily as not everything sexualized is considered adult content. And second you're wrong, true adult mods are very easy to find. They are all over Nexus which is where all of the normal mods are. Unless Bethesda is creating those mods, your point still makes little sense. Pressuring a community of fans and hobbyists is a waste of time.

Political Philosophy in Comics
That seems pretty clear by the way I worded my post. I guess I should have been more obvious with my disclaimer that I am not a big comic book guy.

Political Philosophy in Comics
Lobo sounds familiar but Ambush Bug sounds like something you made up. Maybe it is just the readers of Marvel comics embrace the weirder characters more than DC readers? I'm not a huge comic book guy, but I can name a pretty long list of strange Marvel guys, but I come up pretty empty on DC.

What are you playing right now?
I have multiple people trying to convince me to play Black Desert Online. I have a guest pass going right now. I am trying, but I don't really get it.

Political Philosophy in Comics
Marvel always struck me as a good deal more liberal with their storylines and characters. Not necessarily politically so, but just quicker to take risks, try weird things, etc. DC is usually pretty conservative. Could Deadpool exist in the DC universe?
