  1. What does that have to do with Alanschu?
  2. I think you're making a big deal out of nothing. Bioware is coming across as tolerant of the LGBT community in their writing? *gasp* They have consistently pushed a socially progressive agenda, it's not new. If it bothers you, there are plenty of games out there that avoid social issues.
  3. Can you give a synopsis? I don't really want to watch a 10 minute video.
  4. Lethal Weapon 4 was my introduction to Jet Li.
  5. You guys know that all these websites rely on advertising, which rely on the amount of hits that website gets. So if you want these websites to burn or whatever, all you really have to do is stop visiting them.
  6. I would say it is tye same kind of "good" as Lethal Weapon 4.
  7. I think there are different models, but mine needs batteries. It lasts for a pretty good amount of time though, depending on usage.
  8. So far it is better than DA2, thankfully.
  9. You are clearly a historian, thank you for your insight. wow, and you are truely a reflection of the typical american, thanks for the enlightning comment. Thanks!

  11. This is also why they generally tend not to offer any meaningful insight into what the wider populace thinks. I mean, you can certainly ascertain what the subgroup of "people who have access to Internet, have time to and like to fill out internet polls, and are aware of the poll in question" think, but these selection criteria are not guaranteed to grant you a representative sample. Gee, it's like you people have never heard of selection bias. What this poll tells you is that a lot of people are fed up with SJW's and radical feminists. a big backlash is happening. Polls like that are not proper scientific polls, yes. So what? It's a poll specifically for people who come to that site. In theory, it's representative of THAT. If you already now that, then why censor? What poll are you talking about? How many people took the poll?
  12. I was getting some really creepy looking lego head hair thing in my game. I also don't like the performance, but I think my laptop is dying, because I was having trouble with some other games recently. It could be a few things, I'm not sure if I want to do a small upgrade to see if I can keep it alive, or just buy a new machine. It is 3 years old and was refurbished when I bought it.
  13. Like every company, EA's only intent is to make money. It is weird to assign some sort of morality or evilness to it, but even if you want to do that, comparing EA nickle and diming with DLC to most major industries is silly.
  14. I disagree with Bruce about the feminism thing, but he is right that the poll where EA is the worst company in America is ridiculous. All it really shows is that gamers have a large presence on the internet, and are too self absorbed to see that banks offering sub-prime loans and companies with near monopolies on utilities are much worse than the company that makes their little video games.
  15. Can you get me a great deal on a hotel?
  16. Hellz year, the 1965 Mustang deserves a thread all on its own. http://youtu.be/8Vf-PuFOnFY
  17. Its a world with magic and dragons, so I wouldnt take it too seriously as pushing an athiest agenda.
  18. Welcome back LC. May I kindly suggest you avoid the journalism and sexism thread.
  19. This thread is so ridiculously reactionary.
  20. They were both equally sophomoric.
  21. I pretty much stick to puzzle games on my phone and tablet. There is the odd strategy game that plays well, like Out There or Star Command, but I prefer simple games. Jetpack Joyride is my guilty pleasure.
  22. I am pretty sure the rest of the normal world is over this. The guy wore a questionable shirt, the guy apologized, end of the story.
  23. Does anyone else notice the dramatic shift in syntax between these two examples of oby posts?
  24. Today I found a laserdisc player remote. It was gigantic.
  25. Shallow, there is a very clear criteria that the government and the IRS have put forth in order to qualify as a church. Beliefs and ideology have nothing to do with those criteria. Here is a quick and dirty explanation of what makes a church: https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/what-constitutes-a-church-under-federal-laws Churches rely on donations, I don't know how you can compare them to a gym membership. My wife and I had a small vow renewel ceremony in front of a priest last year and they charged us zero dollars. They can charge for events to cover costs, but again they are still non-profit organizations. As a whole, non-profits, religious or not, get quite a few tax breaks and exemptions.
