I'd say both parties are actively trying to represent the diversity of the country, and it clearly paid off in the Obama campaign 3 years ago. The problem for the Republican party is they have a decent sized constituency that wants nothing to do with diversity, and so they have to tread a lot more cautiously. But even the Democrats have to do some work here. Obama had to get on the phone with a bunch of pastors to explain his stance here, because they can't afford to lose too many votes over this.

Not sure if serious. The cover is really more of a play on words because he is the first American President to come out in support of gay marriage.

A conversation on this was getting started in the funny things thread, so I thought it might be better of on its own. This Newsweek cover may be a bit sensationalist, but if you read the article that goes along with it, it is a very touching piece about how important Obama's stance is. Gorgon wrote: I'm not a huge fan of Obama, I recognize he is still a politician, I haven't been overly impressed with his term. But he could have hedged here, taken a middle of the road stance like every other politician before him. Instead he did the right thing, and I applaud that. Whatever his motives are, it is a huge step to have the President support the equal rights of a minority group. I just don't see a more important issue in our country than eliminating discrimination. It isn't a political issue at all, it is about human rights. Those who stand against giving equal rights to minorities never look good under the light of history. Now I would love to see the Republic party leadership step up and join Obama in this statement against discrimination. I think they should, I know they have a good amount of people in the party that believe in it. But until they do, they are standing on the wrong side.

I guess that is funny in an awesome, accepting of others and taking a great stand against discrimination kind of way.

I'm getting the same thing LC. It doesn't helped that the wind has picked up.

LA over Phoenix in 5 - LA has come alive in the postseason, they have depth. I do like Shane Doan though, so I would be happy seeing either one. NJD over NYR in 6 - The Devils should be better rested, they've started to click, and the Rangers can't possibly limit teams to 1 goal all postseason...right?

So in this scenario, EA's Origin is the plucky underdog fighting against The Man (Steam)?

It's game 2, sell it for a profit, go to the concert, and then buy a ticket for game 5.

I'm not quite sure I understand your point. Would you rather they stop off at a couple small islands on the way across the pacific? I guess it also doesn't seem that odd to me because it is fairly common to fly from the US West Coast to Japan/Hong Kong/Taiwan. Businessmen do it rather regularly, and despite this being a fictional universe, you still have strong business connections in the game between Asia and Seattle.

Hong Kong was all about the corporations, if I remember correctly. Blade Runner is probably a decent comparison, lots of tall buildings and all that. The corporate espionage storylines will be front and center, I'd imagine.

Hong Kong did have a pretty awesome sourcebook.

Quest for Glory is up, all 5 of them!

The only one on the Coyotes is Ray Whitney Interesting question, does Ray Whitney deserve a Hall of Fame nod? What if he improbably wins a second cup with Phoenix?

I also voted for expanded Seattle. It makes sense, it is a huge part of the game, an area like Renraku Tech is going to be huge. I want them to wait on the other cities for sequels.

I'm pretty sure HBOGo will separate from the cable channel eventually, they are missing out on a gold mine just to appease a few companies that haven't figured out streaming is the future.

My battletag is Gfted1stalker, so feel free to add me.

DA2 is actually the worst Bioware game I've ever played, so it's hard to muster much sympathy here.

Why are you encouraging him ? Genius is often misunderstood. His posts are brilliant.

We are all rooting for you. Make sure you post your video here when it is ready.

Raithe, I hope that is you in the hat with the shades on. Very stylish!

I think you should start a petition at Change.org. It's probably discrimination.

Are you guys all capped out level-wise? I've been playing on two different servers, and the pops have been solid going through the first 1-30 levels. I'm rarely alone in an area. I think you just have a lot of people playing multiple characters, which means less folks at the cap trolling for end game content.

I'm pretty sure WoW delivered. I also don't really see how Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3 are different because of WoW. You are coming across as more bitter than usual Morgy. You should come play TOR with me and relax a bit.

I tend to get the heroics done once and then I move on. I rarely have trouble finding someone to jump in and play the 2 person ones with me. 4-persons are a bit tougher to get a group for, but I don't really feel I'm missing out if I don't get it done. There is a pretty huge amount of content in this game, and it is the first one that really has me into playing more than one character.

Whoa, didn't notice the guys from Andromeda put their kickstarter up, I'll get on that one.
