It’s funny how this site picks and chooses when video game violence ought to be connected to real life violence. Germany is “draconian” but killing certain characters in GTA 5 should be removed because of real life violence.

Is video game violence connected to real world violence, or isn’t it?

I’ve never seen a professional film review that didn’t list where the film was being exhibited. If film reviews do it, and the exhibition options are relatively limited, it is not onerous to expect game reviews to meet that same minimum of professionalism.

The reason that “Google it” is not acceptable from editorial…

Yeah, I see what you did there with the headline.

Oh man, I bet if you split the auto workers into different unions, that would really help their ability to collectively bargain.

In many trades, the union rate forces non-union shops to offer a better package just to compete. Even if you’re not in the union, you benefit from the union.

I cannot see an eventuality where losing the ability to collectively bargain labor leads to better conditions for workers.

“The big caveat here is that like every other Paradox grand strategy game, the point isn’t in recreating the politics and events of the 19th century, but in giving players the tools to create their own story.”

Not really— Victoria is about simulation of a nation’s transition from mercantile to industrial economy and so…

Why not remove all the prostitutes? And if violence in video games has real life implications...is GTA itself irresponsible?

Were the Bible belters right?

No. This actually raises some interesting questions about video game violence and should be discussed.

Murdering any type of sex worker is bad, but the player’s ability to do so in Grand Theft Auto is not the developer’s endorsement of that behavior-- it’s supposed to be an example of the cheerful nihilism of 21st Century American culture that the game lampoons in general. The idea of taking out a certain type of sex…

Pathfinder is just D&D 3.5 with some fixes and bells attached. It is not like it’s Palladium where there’s a super steep learning curve. This whole thing confuses me-- it’s not a hard system at all.

I don’t know, man. SmackDown seems to re-run the same matches over and over again for months at a time. Reigns is fine but as a total package, it’s not what it used to be by a large margin.

Can we get a fucking SUPERMAN game now?

Specifically the SS/Diablo variants

Maybe it was just a kind of method acting for the robber barons of early industrialization while working on VICTORIA 3.

Republicans, want an easy way to get elected in blue areas?

When your opponent advocates raising the tax on the gas your constituents need to get to work, say you WON’T do that.

You’ll win.

Ladas would do extremely well here if they could meet emissions standards, especially their van. They’re real, real, cheap and simple.

Haven’t had a civil war in 140 years and have had almost exclusively peaceful transfers of power since the jump while dominating the world with hard power and soft like no nation ever did before, but one state that overwhelmingly doesn’t want abortion makes a law to get rid of it and we’re BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR.

In the…

The Panther body (Ford Crown Vic; Mercury Grand Marquis; Lincoln Town Car):

Is there any CMLL on there? That’s my favorite promotion and I know they have a working agreement.

RT actually has really good coverage on topics not related to Russia from what I’ve seen.
