    It’s meaningless unless they are fucking DESTROYED, the monuments and the bases. Broken up, smashed, melted, burned, GONE.

    BC News reports that Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam announced Thursday that the statue of Lee—which has stood along Richmond’s Monument Avenue since 1890—will be removed along with four other Confederate monuments celebrating Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis, Matthew Fontaine Maury and J.E.B. Stuart who were all

    It’s amazing how with significantly less money, less manpower, and less fan awareness, Elite Dangerous is slowly realizing the dream well in advance of Star Citizen (which I can only assume is now estimated to be released by 2030).

    I grew up in the DC area and still live here. My HMO as a kid was in Foggy Bottom. I’m a GWU alum, whose campus is just a couple blocks from the White House. I know the area like the back of my goddamn hand. Lafayette Square, because it is adjacent to the White House, always has protesters in it, on any given day,

    Why was the statue even built? Who made the decision?

    And anyone else who may be thinking “what does this have to do with video games”—fuck you.

    That’s exactly how I see it. Because of the structural advantages that gear our democracy towards geography rather than people, we’re in a weird situation where commercial enterprise has to account for our actual electoral makeup more so than our own damn republic.

    And while we recognize a probable loss of (racist) subscribers will ensue, like sports juggernaut Nike, who backed Colin Kaepernick’s right to kneel and has also shown their support in the current crisis with a new ad titled “Until We All Win,” the calculated risk of taking a political stance may ultimately be

    Definitely didn’t think the title “Japan Sinks” was meant literally

    it doesn’t seem that was the path laid out when the main part of the game was scripted. The main game has heavy set up for a greater multiverse

    The base was probably laid out, but they changed the ending. Notice the very abrupt tonal change from BAS part one to two.

    Sad because this is not what it was supposed to be. Everything was set up to make this the jumping off point for expanding the franchise

    1. They also put him in a dark closet by himself to “calm him down”

    It hit for me whens he’s on the elevator, seeing her past self, and says “Booker, you were my only real friend.” You think of everything she’s been through up until that point, and to end up where she did... her life is a painful and lonely one.

    I just replayed Bioshock Infinite and the DLC on PC...

    We really need to find a way to reward, rather than punish vfx studios.

    Damn the studios that pocket the profits and short-change special effect studios. It’s a typical trend, sadly.

    I thought for sure that the costly sfx overhaul would be wasted on internet whiners who’d fail to show up to theaters anyway, and damn if I wasn’t wrong. The movie wasn’t my cup of tea, but I’m happy for the makers and their fans that it didn’t all blow up in their face.
