I’m sure you stop by Islamic forums regularly to protest the celebration of Ramadan for the same reason—Islam branding itself as a religion of righteousness while being the primary drivers of the slave trade for 1000 years. Incidentally, the last Caliphate formally ended the practice in 1910. The new one reinstituted…

they went over to capture and enslave the black people of Africa

Storywise, after the initial launch, it did go off the rails. Though I will say there’s a lot of cool dialogue for sith after your character makes the dark council in the additional material. Not so much for non-sith, though.

I thought the Revan stuff was pretty lame. Like one team had an idea to make a pirate planet full of bird people, another wanted to do something with Revan and it just got mashed together awkwardly.

Nah, I’m not gonna bust your balls over saying Connor McGregor’s whiteness is a tool that could make him more marketable. Whether it should or not, the dollars will say it does, as long as he keeps running his mouth and winning.

Aldo never even got to step 1. He won a championship. He defended it many times. But the buzz hasn’t been there due to lack of marketability (doesn’t speak English, has a mutilated face, fights in a weight class that not many people are interested in, doesn’t do a lot of promotion, isn’t interesting when he does and,…

Guys go on long winning streaks. That’s sort of the equivalent of undefeated in this sport. Lot of dominant fighters have weird losses to scrubs early in their career. Sport takes a long time to learn, usually.

3-6 months isn’t long enough to become a “massive star.” McGregor’s only been majorly promoted for 6 months. It takes years of investment. You need to generate buzz. Then you need to win a belt. Then you need to defend it. Then you’ve arrived. McGregor is just starting to do step 1.

Condit was favoring his leg prior to the beginning of the fight.

What do you mean, “tracking?” Aside from Sports bars, which need to set up purchases ahead of time with a third party, people buy UFC pay per views 5 minutes before the event, not weeks ahead of time.

Condit’s knee was already screwed in camp.

Saw her once only, but I was impressed.

Nah. McGregor’s promising and marketable, but he’s a relative newcomer and Aldo doesn’t have nearly the name recognition that, say, Lesner did five years ago. It’s an interesting fight, but no way is it the biggest MMA fight in history. Frankly, there was more hype for Carano/Cyborg and that was a Strikeforce fight.

Most interesting fighter (well, without Jones) is actually a woman now. Rhonda Rousey. I love combat sports to the extent that I’ve watched even obscure stuff like women’s kickboxing, but I’ve really never seen another woman who’s as credible a martial practitioner as Rousey. Really impressive technique and even more…

I’m almost positive there was a guy who fought Aldo with a leg injury and Aldo spent the whole fight kicking the shit out of the guy’s leg. This was a while ago, but that I can’t remember who it was underscores that there are no asterisks attached to fights like that.

Jose Aldo vs Conor McGregor was supposed to be the biggest fight in UFC history

Maybe I didn’t agree with every single thing feminist critic Anita Sarkeesian said about how women are depicted in video games

This “letter from the chairman” is pretty incredible. The level of detail about current state and future state is just something you don’t see from gaming companies normally. Maybe in a retrospective.

Been about 2 years, but I think I just had to set some parameter after the executable. -w, maybe?

I went back and played this about two years ago. It’s still quality. Couple tweaks to the display (resolution, shadows, particle effects) and they could re-release it as new.
