Hey all you Half-Life's Witnesses, 24 words in his reply, which is a number divisible by 3!

Seems needlessly complicated when you can just activate "Have friend punch me in the face every time I die" mode. Your vision and motor skills deteriorate after frequent dying as well! Add "water only" diet throughout playthrough if you're truly hardcore (and thrifty with your grocery budget).

Also, it is a video game and therefore < respect for other people. "I can understand why" does not magically equal "less reprehensible". Following someone throughout his day's frustrations to the point where he cusses out an innocent old lady might help us understand why he did it, but it doesn't make it any more ok…

I was hoping the Enlightened West would rush to correct the backwards practices of these offensive Southeast Asians. Noooo no guys...we did it.

Fearsome power, that's what!

At least, no matter what side of this issue readers are on, we can find common ground in assuming that what is proximate and familiar to us comprises the complete lens through which we need view everything.

Great point. And i think as video games continue to spread in use, sheer multiplicity will make exclusions like this less and less impactful.

I would call him a great roll model, but that would just piece off people who know the difference.

Battlefield went to Vietnam a few times and got rather acclaimed for its efforts.

But even the Olympics have been pushing for gender-blind sports, and we already have mixed-gender biathlons, equestrian, luge, and pairs figure skating. I think arbitrariness and assumption of weakness (as per "thin-skinned", "uninvited", etc.) aren't good reasons to not have a gender-blind merit-based competition in…

Well now biathlons have mixed teams, along with luge, equestrian, and—of course—pairs figure skating. Even if other examples of arguably arbitrarily segregated sports exist, aren't video games a perfect place to make headway into gender-blind merit-based competition?

Ohh that makes more sense and seems a lot easier to manage than what i was thinking. You win this round, Common Sense!

Well, having the grace to accept what I can't change seems to be an oft-sought quality, so maybe you're right: might as well be full on pizza once they find you.

It's nonsensical coddling. If we're going to say it's esports, then "comforting" and "inviting" go out the window in favor of ability. No one feels like tryouts were "inviting" when they get cut. Sports are competitive and competition is the basis for sports. Women aren't more delicate creatures with a magically…

"can track when students are in the classroom"? Anywhere else? I guess comfort level would be determined by how delicious said pizza is...

Yeah Mario needs to stop venting his angry powerlessness with his life station on his unarmed neighbors. Of course the authorities are going to send out armed folks with police powers to stop your killing, theft, and robbery. And the more people's lives you endanger, the wider the range of lethal force needed to stop…

Holy crap dude, that's a simple but awesome idea! I'd be down.

Incorrect, sir. He was also using a contraction, short for "dahlia fuck" as in "light and gentle as a flower—fuck", distinguished from the typical and more aggressive unqualified "fuck". He was saying essentially "fuck lite", which should make you feel remorseful for responding so harshly. Das Fuck man!

See? He's quality! What can we even turn to now?

I'm afraid to purchase anything at all now that the Upton-Voted seal of approval has lost its unimpeachable integrity.
