'The Campaign' in MP Games
Honestly I could care less about a campaign when I buy a game like Battlefield. In fact I prefer that they put as little resources as possible into that sort of thing. I don't really play RTS games, but I think there is a lot more to learn in an RTS game, so having a single player component is good for slowly familiarizing the player with the functions of the game. I don't need to shoot a bunch of NPC's in order to prepare to shoot real players.

I'm sure she will marry some rich guy and sue him for alimony.

What you did today
I am subbing for a Japanese class for a period, so of course I had to show the trailer of Godzilla versus Mothra. And now I have that Mr. Roboto song stuck in my head.

$60... Worth it?
It's a triple A game with triple A costs, so yes, it is worth the standard triple A price of $60.

What you did today
There were big news in my local paper when some young man threw himself in front of a train (that I was on, but I was asleep so I noticed nothing) here in Uppsala a year back or so. The news was not that he committed suicide, but that his family visited the train tracks the day after to lay down flowers and found a big piece of his jaw that the cleaners had missed. Not OK! A police friend of mine likened it to a victim of a bombing. There's nothing left. It's a horrible way to go and it scars so many people. I hope the family was able to keep a stiff upper lip after that tragedy.

What's on the idiot box... Part 2
I'm really confused as to whether you guys are talking about Vikings or SHIELD.

Well I guess you can blame the parents a bit for raising a spoiled brat, but yeah, she's 18. Good luck with that.

The Funny Things Thread.
I don't think it needs to be an anti-gravity board, it just needs to hover. We do have hovercraft.

I was really buying it at first! But then I saw it in action and realized no.

Blame Canada.

Shadowrun Returns
The bomb diffusing mission was pretty awesome, made me actively rush forward and even split up my runners. 11 turns goes pretty fast!

What are you playing now
I started South Park, but like Keyrock I had to go to work shortly after the character creation. Pros: Character creation is cool, easy to move around, very much like living in the world of South Park. Con: Checkpoint save system, bleh.

Blitz's subplot cracked me up!

Movies you've seen recently
I hate Matthew McConaughey simply on the fact that he continues to waste his talent, he keeps it up and he is going to end up doing the same crappy movies as Ben Kingsley. I'm not sure what you mean. In the last few years he's done nothing but critically acclaimed movies. Just look at all the awards he's been getting since 2011. If anything, he seems to be getting better every year.

That's good to know.

Elder Scrolls Online
Are homes not available for purchase? Huh, I'd figure that would be a given, since they have them in the single play game. I'd expect that to be an add-on down the road.

Shadowrun Returns
I think I can finish it before South Park comes out, I'm pretty far into it. Be sure to pet the dog a few times, folks.

Shadowrun Returns
Dead Man's Switch was really enjoyable, but Dragonall really shows how much this developer has grown artistically, game engine wise, and with character development. I look forward to whatever they do next and I've gotten way above my moneys worth.

Gun control - murderer control?
Really? How many people die in the US of "extremist" attacks yearly? And how many just die of gunshot wounds? Please explain to me how exactly extremism is the bigger threat. What in the world are you talking about? edit: I guess if you want to just address the wounds, we can discuss a skin treatment plan that makes us bulletproof? Seriously though, what in the world are you talking about again?

Gun control - murderer control?
I really dislike how the term gun control has become this black and white deal. We should all be working to prevent tragedies, we should be discussing all options and weighing the pros and cons. This knife attack shows that crazy extremists are going to find a way to be crazy. But it is futile to argue that this means anything in regards to gun control. One side will argue that guns aren't the cause of violence, the other will argue that guns could have made it much worse. What we really should be focusing on is how to stop extremism.
