I believe that is a plasma rifle from Xenonauts, by Goldhawk interactive. The game is an Xcom homage (to the 90's original) in (IMHO) the best sense of the word. Check it out at http://www.xenonauts.com/.

Fun story: I once had to call the police non-emergency line because I came home and found my backyard overrun with... wait for it... goats. About 10 of them, mostly eating my plants and a few were fighting. They had knocked down my back fence, which butted up against undeveloped land. They were obviously someone's…

I haven't. I'm always afraid they might

I get the feeling that most people are unaware that the police even have a non-emergency line.

She could remove the child from the building until it calmed down. Like most parents would do. Like my parents did with me at restaurants so my tantrum would not cause other people undue distress.

I get why kids' meds taste good or are sweetened/flavored. Ya gotta get the kid to take it. But man, it sure does make it tempting to a five year old with no impulse control (i.e. me).

I'm pretty sure Jaden Smith is just on his way to a wedding.

I'm sure I'll get hate for this, but I don't believe it should be a college's responsibility to protect their students at all times in every aspect of their lives. There is a ridiculous amount of mission creep in modern universities, in which a college is expected to service every aspect of a student's life…

doesn't give GB a whole lot of leeway to condemn Russia now does it? Kettle, pot, black

I font' understand why people want to be in fraternities in the first place!

Poor Donald, for you can no longer quack from Doom's feet.

I wouldn't be upset, but if they want part of the South, they have to take the whole South.

At the point Blizzard invited him?

I think we could do better on the flag, but I'm fine with the colors.

We are going to need a flag and a national anthem.

So, basically you are saying that all black people in the South should be left to rot in a neo-confederate separatist state and all the white liberals in the South deserve the same fate? What a wonderful, progressive paragon of Northern virtue you are.

I would propose that the secession involve shipping the right wingers down to the South, and revision of our Constitution to clarify issues such as voting rights, reproductive rights, employment rights, corporate rights and obligations, etc. And if they want to ship the liberals back up here, fine. Though any woman or…

Living in one of those states I think I would be a little upset if they suddenly tried to pull this crap. I think those conservatives would be a bit surprised by how much resistance they find. See in South Carolina Liberals are gun nuts too...

I'm gonna treat myself to some tasty iguana-on-a-stick at Iguana Bob's. I'm sure I will not regret that choice later on during a side quest in Junktown.

Pity Texas, which has only the island of Austin to shelter progressives and liberals. And we always forget it until we get about ten miles outside of town in any direction.
