Valve and Blizzard are excited to announce: Half Life 3: Sombra

I would be so happy if Steve was referred to as a Nomad in the next movie or two.

Steve pretty much gave up being Captain America at the end of civil War. He dropped his shield and walked away, only to infiltrate / assault The Raft and break out his friends. Steve is a fugitive.

The ARG will end forcibly when Blizzard as a company shuts down hundreds of years from now.

I’m slowly and ever increasingly becoming convinced that the payoff for the Sombra ARG is not in fact a new playable character but a Harambe skin for Winston.

I just hope that if they replace Steve as Cap they give him a good send off. No killing him, none of the secret Hydra agent bullshit. Just like, let the dude ride off into the sunset, live his life and finally punch his fucking V card.

The beauty of the MCU is that we have come to watch these characters grow, and have met and got to know other people who can potentially replace them if the need arises. Chris Evans is the perfect Steve Rogers, but Captain America does not have to be Steve Rogers.

Geckos on the Moors

Makes me think of MYST.

“I’m forever trapped in this hellhole of a power plant. Never to roam free on the magical island.”

Someone save those Moorish geckos!!! Just think of how much they can save us all on our car insurance.

Somehow, the punching part of this story is entirely consistent with my impression of what Australia is like.

Let’s make sure people can see and understand what half-assed false equivalence looks like. :)

Jesus... can’t understand why I had to scroll down this far to see this comment.

Now we know where you fit in:
“Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would’ve immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.”

Well the Amish are actually a lot more about having their lives be “uncomplicated” than trying to live like time-travelers as most people assume. They can use public transportation for example. They’ll also call an ambulance in an emergency or allow electricity in a home to power medical equipment.

They also encourage…

Yeah, I’m in no way calling *them* ignorant, more the anti-vaccine crowd. Like, exactly as you said, these people who wanted to stop in the 1880s were still like “yeah it’s probably good if our kids don’t die of rubella, or get another kid killed by it”.

These communities are often not as ignorant of the world as we assume. They’ve just chosen 1880 as about the right moment to stop—however, when something like vaccines show up they’re like: “yea, we’ll take some of that.”

“they also share similar lifestyles and customs, such as a Germanic diet, having large families, breastfeeding, drinking raw milk, not allowing indoor pets, and favoring childhood vaccinations.”

That was a bit of a “Huh” moment for me. Do those nutty anti-vaccers know even the Amish and the Hutterites accept that…
