Again, that's just not true. Yes 100 or 50 years ago it could have led to punishment, that doesn't mean that it would excepting perhaps military college which have always had more stringent enforcement of rules of conduct. And again an outburst "in class" to a faculty member is totally different from an outburst involving residential faculty in a courtyard on campus with a student. Context is very important when considering student disciplinary matters and a "one size fits all approach" is rarely utilized with student disciplinary issues with the exceptions of situations that involve criminal acts or happen in the classroom.

That's not necessarily true; if the college or university has a "free speech" space and they were at it the student could say whatever they want. Also, generally speaking, colleges tend to try and give students leeway when not dealing with incidents "in-class" in the idea that their can be something learned from the moment. That said, I've read about the Yale Halloween stuff. Essentially the university sent an email out reminding people not to dress up in blackface or yellowface or be culturally insensitive with costumes. A faculty member then expressed that students should be allowed to be offensive with their costumes; her husband backed it up. That led to the confrontation between that husband and some students. Looking at that, I doubt Yale would do anything to the student for what she said. Also apparently Variety removed the line from the Fallout article without actually doing a correction to the piece which has a lot of people more angry than making the mistake in the first place.

Knowing you're friends, they'll try and hook you up with a nice single mother to celebrate. Because the old flame had twins or because he looks like a bloody eyed future zombie?

I thought about jumping and ultimately decided it was a bad idea and didn't.

Wasn't the original idea that you were only going to be able to camp at safe rest spots (available on only some maps) and that was changed because everyone hated the idea, but Obs didn't want to allow rest anywhere because resting anywhere also breaks immersion (Hmmm, troll nest...feeling sleepy...what bad could happen) so they went with an abstraction of the limited rest spots by using the camping gear? Seems kinda like (as many things have with PoE) they're damned if they do and damned if they don't...

That's true of most people; the idea is to answer based on what would be the "most common" action/reaction/feeling.

To me there's a lot to like and dislike in the prequels. I enjoy them, but also feel they were a lost opportunity and not really to the level of the original series.

Pretty much verbatim what I was going to say Myers-Briggs always pegs me as INFP and this was no exception. I'm a "turbulent" variant according to this website. I came out as turbulent as well! Twinsies!

Ah, Myers-Briggs, we meet again. I come out INFP ("the mediator")

The period I'm talking about was pre-Disney buyout so they had no influence on the toys. Now that they do, they're making other outfits available (Leia in Disney Infinity, for example, has the white outfit and the bounty hunter outfit). Not that any of that matters, I guess...

That was like a white jump suit? Or the burgandy-brown dress w/pants and a shawl thing she had on in Cloud City? (If I remember correctly - its been a startling number of years since I've seen Empire). Does it sell because that's what people want or does it sell because that's all they have? Probably a bit of both.

I've seen rumors of that, but no confirmation of a deal to make that happen.

Looking online, all I'm seeing is the latest Blurays are the tinkered with versions.

Sure, but literal a few years ago the only Leia toy you could find was her in the slave outfit. There was an outcry and I think they did the awards ceremony dress. So what some people are reporting as an attempt to remove the slave outfit may actually be an attempt to redress the balance that has been out-of-whack. In a perfect world the Slave Leia outfit would be one of many outfits for Leia toys. No one is forced to buy anything. But as I mentioned for a few years if you did want to buy something your option was Slave Leia or nothing else. And sure, in the context of the movie she kills Jabba in that outfit. After being captured by him in the first place and forced into the outfit. But yeah you can still swing that to be positive in a way. But toys divorce themselves from the context, so at some point the toy is a woman in a space bikini. Not that there is anything wrong with that. And if a woman chooses to dress like that for cosplay - more power to them. I don't think Slave Leia should be banned anymore than I think it should be the only Leia-based product available.

To be completely honest, I've always been surprised at how the Leia-in-the-hutt-slave-outfit became the go-to outfit for merchandising. For me white outfit from the first movie is more what I think of when I think of the character. Slave outfit is about as representative of the character as the award ceremony dress. Yeah its there for a reason in the story, but its about as representative of the the day-to-day of the character as Carbonite is to Han.

I can understand that; we all have things that appeal differently.

Yeah, I'm not interested in spoilers really, so been avoiding the leaks (although if it is FPSy and not RPGy, not sure it'll matter that much!)

I'm a whole package kind of guy. As long as the graphics work for the purpose of the game, I don't care. Mind you I also watch films like PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE for fun so my opinion of what's acceptable in games is pretty broad.

Thanks for the link, I'm not sure it spoils anything. Still not sure what to make of it as I can't get sound out of it to see what the vocal unsinking is like or not (but the guy in the background is hilarious regardless). Weirdly most Bethesda games the story is irrelevant to me, the fun is just wandering around the countryside until I get bored, and rarely do I get bored as there's something always over the next hill (until you reach the edge of game space).

It is an interesting premise; part of what intrigued me was that premise. Mind you the trailer looked "fun" too. It was a toss-up between this or Scouts Guide to the Apocalypse which also is kind of a horror-80s comedy kind of movie.

Mostly curious. I'm getting the game regardless of what the internet thinks.

Longknife - how reliable are the sources for the screenshots and video footage you've seen? Because as you say the stuff from Bethesda hasn't looked all that bad, but I've heard of leaks and how people describe them but I'm not sure how reliable they are (ie are we really seeing the release version of the game or is it some early version? Is it something that's been doctored by an anti-Bethesda-ite or general troll trying to troll an audience that is hotly anticipating the game?)

Actually it works or the most part, IMO - but you have to consider its really a comedy film rather than a horror film and keep expectations there. There is one very cheesy makeup effect and some of the alien stuff is very cgi (not bad, just sort of mid-level still CGI looking CGI). The gore effects (vampires ripping throats and zombie eating humans) is pretty well done but not really dwelt on. You can tell to save budget that the move is done so as to really keep the expenses down (the "fight" is kept short and for the most part major makeup work is limited to a couple of scenes).

So I'm guessing the newest edition is still the tinkered versions? I'd been wondering if a bluray upgrade would be worth it but if they're not releasing the unedited originals I'll stick with my DVDs that have the straight-from-laserdisc unedited versions on them (even if they display terribly on tv now).

Yeah its still running. I know of several people who've gotten them.
