Given the game, the comment is hardly a surprise. It's a pretty silly game, so I don't know why such a thing would be taken seriously. Although KP's little Japanese culture lecture is a bit much.

Subtlety is the key Sarex. Which is something a number of folks lack on the forums.

Well might as well read it now, hopefully it won't defeat me like Anna Karenina Nah, it's a much easier read than Tolstoy or Dostoevsky. Bulgakov was more of a playwright, so he wrote for the stage.

Kung Fury - Epic.

There are two books I have permanently sitting on my desk until I find the right student. Bulgakov's Master and Margarita and Graham Green's The Quiet American. I believe everything you need to know about the world lies within them.

Dang, the links are broken for me.

Black Cauldron was awesome, and basically turned me into an avid reader at a young age. Well, the movie and the Sierra adventure game. That could be a pretty awesome remake, actually. The Black Cauldron was the first game I remember that had more than one ending.

Yes, lets compare a group that actively engage in genocide to a bunch of weirdos who like to type in caps on twitter.

True Confession: I've never seen the original because IT looked terrible to me when I saw the trailers in the theaters back in the day. It has Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reaves, and Gary Busey. It's worth it just to watch those guys basically being themselves.

The Point Break remake looks terrible.

To be fair, the 'what you did today' thread is a very positive thread filled with both lighthearted stories from the day, and supportive posts when life gets hard. It has been going on forever. But yeah, we do have a pretty strong contingent of negative nellies lately.

Heh, yes, that is a huge leg up. I worked my way through college and I'm still paying off one of my loans for tuition (10 years into my career.) I'm extremely thankful that my parents were able to help out with part of it. I would be struggling under even more debt without that.

That is exactly what an alien sympathizer would say.

Cole is a rogue with two daggers, and is quite effective.

Maybe Walsingham wasn't being sarcastic about the story, because these types of events are important to me. They show that ISIS isn't just waging a war against states, they are waging a war against culture and history. It's the reason I hated the Taliban before it was cool to do so. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/19/world/19TALI.html

Yeah, I'm the singing guy and my wife is Rachel. I wake my kids up with a good morning song quite regularly.

Meshugger is a winner. I do think that people lack proper historical context too often. And honestly, if you want to get the Patriot act and all this NSA stuff to change, start a movement. We live in a democracy, you can change stuff by raising awareness and putting societal pressure on the government. That's why gay people are getting married. Always remember that in the US: 90 years ago women could not vote. 70 years ago we stuck a bunch of American citizens in prison camps for being of Japanese descent. 50 years ago we segregated our schools. 40 years ago we still forced young men into the military. 30 years ago our economy was actually worse. 20 years ago we had a don't ask don't tell policy in the military. 10 years ago Osama was still playing video games in his crib. Ok so I ran out of steam at the end there. But yeah.

I agree that the movement for more accountability in journalism has seen progress, and I think that is a great thing. But when are we at the point of diminishing returns? It seems like the decent sites have clarified themselves, the bad sites have been exposed, and now we are at the point where it is just angry people making angry faces at one another with not much else left to gain.

Given the 3 day weekend and a bit of a less hectic schedule now that the school year is almost done, I got some projects done around the home. I recaulked the shower, fixed a gate latch that had broken off in a bad storm, put up a collapsible trellis gate to keep our dog in the backyard, and cut back some branches that were hanging over the garage. I only cut myself twice whacking away at the branches, so I'm pretty happy with that. I feel very manly.

Your time management skills are terrible.

You guys are terrible at this thread. Damn, now I'm terrible at this thread.

Mission accomplished, time to move on to the next thing! I recommend the Patriot Act.

Ineth, articles like that are written about Muslims all the time. Journalists who write that garbage should be rightly criticized. But why are we still talking about them 6 months later? (or 9, or whatever) Is there any evidence that the game industry has actually changed because of these articles? Was The Witcher 3 cancelled? Is Ubisoft working on Assassin's Creed: Feelings? Matching unreasonably angry people by being unreasonably angry is not healthy.

I like that in Meshugger's scenario, the Mormons may be the only hope in keeping gay people around. On a more serious note, given our major issues of overpopulation and neglected children across the world, the idea that some fabulous couples will get married, not have children of their own, and then take care of other people's kids sounds like an ideal situation.

Spec Ops: The Line is one of the few pure shooters I've ever finished. I agree that is is a mediocre cover shooter, but the story and the setting were worth going through. Try and stick it out.
