The problem with your character having whatever personality, backstory, etc that you want is that the game was then not able to ever react to any of that, really. The story had to be as bland and generic as possible to allow whatever you made to fit in, so character development wasn’t really possible. And that…

...a grown-ass man in a snuggie?

I read that word as “assassins.”

While I’m tempted to get the expansion and see firsthand how things changed, I do keep in mind that compared to the many hours I’ve invested in Civ V, Civ: BE instilled a much quicker “Nope, I’m done” feeling. I regularly have a Civilization itch, which Civ V has been able to adress in the most satisfying ways over…

Don’t worry, Brantly, you’re not alone. It doesn’t sound like what we (the people) have defined as a “school shooting”. The term “school shooting” even has a wikipedia and this particular shooting does not fall under the definition. The institution was not targeted, but rather a fight broke out on campus and some…

I get you. Word choice, right? Lately “school shooting” has come to mean specifically a rampage killer on school grounds. You are solely objecting to that definition, yes? It’s still a school shooting as it happened at a school, it just might not be a rampage killer as we don’t have all the facts. You are in no way…

Close, but not quite. I’m referring not to the Peter Principal, but to the tendency that public sector organizations have to react to problems by throwing money at the problem instead of throwing proven leaders at the problem.

News flash: an incompetent manager is going to continue fucking up just as badly with a…

“Why are customers always convinced people are lying to them?”

Chickens are direct descendants of velociraptors and behave every bit as much. They’ve been omnivores for far longer than the existence of pelletized food.

My brother once saw a chicken happily pecking away at a dead (wild) baby bird, and I know if one of ours acquires any sort of open wound we have to spray it with wound disguiser to keep the other hens from attacking it. Chickens are merciless.

Chickens will eat anything. I’ve always had chickens and they’ll hunt down their own bugs and small lizards, and will pick at any meat bones that the dog leaves unattended. I always think it’s kind of gross but if you leave cooked chicken out they will definitely eat that too.

Up to and including chicken. (I have friends who feed their chickens most of their food scraps, including cooked chicken.)

My wife picked it up for a few minutes. She promptly tried to stop at a red light (who does that?) and accidentally rear ended another car. She apologized profusely to the television for it.

There’s a famous story about how Van Halen had a rider in their concert contract stipulating that there had to be a bowl of only green M&M’s in the dressing room. It’s a thoroughly ridiculous request, of course, and is often cited as an example of ridiculous rock ‘n roll excess, but David Lee Roth gave a very good…

I did on the Xbox One and you know what once you actually start playing the game and get into the story you don’t notice the framerate as you aren’t busy thinking about graphics options or setting or any other trivial details.

Word to the wise: Amazon tablets are enormous pieces of shit.

Look, we know that the police violated this boy’s civil rights because of his religion and race. What’s important is that the President ignore it completely, otherwise he’s the one stirring up racial strife. We all know that when we ignore injustice, it just eventually solves itself.

The only true measure of anything to do with Chicago.

If, for example, you were to google ‘manbabby’, you’d get pretty much zero results, so there’s that.
