This is a really good metaphor for the industry as it stands (or stood a few years ago, certainly). When gamers a few years ago would talk about the variety on display, it had the same appearance as an indie guy talking about the difference between 10 different kinds of garage bands without realizing that he’s still…

This. The article isn’t clear. This isn’t like a free weekend of Battlefield, they’re giving the game away for free for the next 2 days.

I’ve been holding onto the fact that here in MS, Hillary got about 40% of the vote. That’s bluer than several other states, and it’s trending up over time. Gotta keep working.

It’s not about our parents, but our children.

Yeah, we’re now up to 2 times in the last 5 elections where the Democrat won the popular vote but lost the election. Last time, we got Iraq. Who knows what next year will bring.

Not doable for the Senate, the map is heavily stacked against us. Only one good chance to flip a red seat, and like 4 risky blue ones. The House could flip if Trump shits himself, politically speaking. I really need him to fuck up, but I’m also afraid that when he does, people will get hurt.

Of course they can speak fluent Japanese. They all got perfect scores in their Japanese classes, and were eventually asked by their sensei to demonstrate their perfect language skills.

Which is dumb. You can, no matter the state, contact the Board of Elections and ask if your vote has been counted. It’s easy to confirm. The conspiracy nuts drive me crazy.

I suspect the XP boosting is to get people up to the soft level cap, that way if they do a bigger expansion (like Johto or something), new players won’t be locked out.

To add to Sean’s great answer, in any consideration between Sony and MS, the general rule is that Sony knows hardware better than MS (it’s their bread and butter) and MS knows software better than Sony (it’s their bread and butter).

The pairing of those two German studios was well done. Both going through layoffs, chasing each others’ failed businesses.

All careers use weedout criteria to hire people. Even as a totalitarian leader of the world, you can’t change that. Might as well say you’ll stop the tide from happening.

I haven’t checked, but I think most make it out. The only reason you wouldn’t is declaring early or flunking out. The former is rare, and the latter means you’d fail anyway.

That’s not a super great outcome though. The thing about major sports is that most people will never play them, and therefore will make nothing for being good at them. The nice part about collegiate sports is that, while most athletes totally think they’re getting drafted first round by the Patriots, we force them to…

This. Saying “You can just leave it docked” is no different than saying “You can just use the Pro controller for the Wii U.” If you start from that position, then you clearly have the inferior product on the market. The gimmick itself has got to be compelling; there can be no “you don’t have to use it” talk.

SKT basically won Worlds last night. Neither H2K or SSG can take them; ROX was the only hope there.

Literally my first thought was Gardevoir. Fucking Wally starts off with a Ralts that turns into a hell of a partner.

“Gotta protect the tradition of the game!”

Nah, more of a gangster, Capone thing. Stars Gabriel Byrne (AKA aged Tom Hiddleston).

Everything you just said applies to Bernie Sanders.
