Technically speaking, it’d be more accurate to call this game’s setting “the Roman Empire,” as Greece was already part of Roman territory by the time of Origins, so if this is a sequel, Greece is by no means an independent power.

Pedant mode: disengaged.

Wow. Now this is the kind of speedrunning video I love to see. Just a pure, amazing run through that track incorporating no glitches at all. I remember doing that wall jump at the end of this track back in the day, though getting it exactly right at the very edge of the area where it’s still physically possible is no…

Wrong. Two hands = two guns.

Poster child for deep, meaningful gaming experience meets poster child for shallow, lootbox-laden garbage. Makes sense.

Eh, the new Roseanne show is still great. I’m a happy fan of the original who loves the reboot, and who also disagrees vehemently with the star’s politics. It’s pretty easy to separate the two, if you are honest with yourself about what actually impacts people’s lives (hint: not the financial success of entertainment…

Is the phrase “You fucked up,” really a black thing? I suddenly feel very old and uncool.

Nah, your initial assessment of their lack of necessity was correct. These mid-gen upgrades are nothing more than luxuries for those gamers with extra money to burn. Most people don’t have the ability to try out the upgraded console at work to get a taste for it, which is really the only reason you now feel like…

This is the primary reason why mass killings like these are on the rise. Until we as a society are willing to take significant steps towards policing free speech on the internet, it’s never going to stop.

My high school actually had the opposite problem. It was a Catholic high school with fairly rigid dress code requirements—button down shirts, tie, khaki or navy dress pants, dress shoes, etc. But girls had a lot more freedom—they could wear shorts, skirts, or pants (guys could only wear dress pants), they didn’t have…

GOOD.

I think everybody was expecting that. ;) That’s part of what made it so great. Kind of the same way the obviously rubber Hitler body near the end of the film is great.

I thought he was great in Inglorious Basterds.

American bourbons are extremely well-priced, for the quality, compared to whiskeys in other countries in general. When you can get a very solid bottle for around $30, and quite a GOOD bottle for twice that, it’s a great place to live if you’re a bourbon lover.

Seems a few people beat me to it! Some more info though, from wikipedia:

Just jumping in to be “that guy.” Athames is his name; Strategos is his military title. ;)

Could it be that people who sign up to beat the shit out of each other for a living might have issues with violent behavior?

What does it say about me that my mainstays are also usually mountaintop games? I can always dip into Dark Souls III for some PVP and it remains endlessly satisfying, even when I’m getting my ass handed to me.

Fair enough; I get that. I think that that’s the point of the show’s treatment of current politics though. It’s making the point that such intransigence from either side helps no one. Progress is made through compromise. It’s sad that we’ve reached a point where the very idea of compromise and forgiveness is now seen…

I’m going to file this one in my “who the fuck cares; life is too short” box.

Damn. I love this kid.
