“Hi, I’m Peter Dinklage” :D

I agree with all this, but for purely singleplayer atmospherics (which is why all my favorite DOOM and DOOM 2 .WADs were all single player campaigns), I think DOOM 3 got a lot of it right. I was thrilled by the survival horror gameplay that they showed in the first trailers, and even though the released copy didn’t…

When you look at why those particular movements succeed when others failed, though, it basically boils down to one of two reasons:

I don’t think it’s about being childlike. It’s about the fact that Star Wars takes place in another galaxy, whereas ID4 takes place on contemporary Earth, so we can easily compare it to reality and lose our suspension of disbelief.

idk if its really about wanting to hear them speak, more like its important to not live in an ideological vacuum

Is it actually worse for newbies, though? The old saying “dying is easy, comedy is hard” is not a new one. Audiences are cruel, but that’s been true for eternity.

look, pal: graphics

I understand his hesitation, and the myriad reasons for it. But there is literally nothing that could happen to Ben Affleck that would affect him as profoundly as institutionalized racism. People are dying out here. Those are the stakes.

I sympathize too, because I imagine he saw that they found out one of his ancestors owned slaves & he could instantly see headlines focusing on that, & associating him with slavery, & wondering how that could derail what he does both for his career & any non-profits. And maybe part of him thought, I don’t want to…

Does the IHS still run out of money half-way through the year? I remember as a kid (non-reservation, using our local IHS clinic) if you needed glasses, you better get your appointment before April or you'd have to wait for the program to be re-funded for the next year. It's so under-funded that people can't get…

I'm more concerned that I have to be literally near death to be referred to a specialist. There are countless people on my Rez with chronic medical problems that require a specialist but we are under a life or limb policy. So basically these people need to wait until the condition worsens and becomes life threatening.…

Most of the girls fleeing to join ISIS are second generation immigrants who feel a disconnect to their parents culture but still so much distance and xenophobia from their peers. You won't see people who worked hard to leave a country romanticising the way their children often do. It's all struggle and melodrama in…

Listening to the phone conversation, I wondered that myself. I didn't take it that life in France was so horrible, though. The fact that she had to out right lie to her mother about the conditions she faced told me more that she was either abused, and not trying to worry her mother with the truth, or she was so…

My thoughts as well. Women aren't encouraged to think of attraction as solely physical, and there isn't a culture of female preference for 20 year old men/boys. If you asked better questions, my guess is that more women of all ages would report a *physical* preference for men in their 20s and that more men would…

Between the 20-something women study and 'visual creatures' thing, it seems like we're supposed to infer men are incapable of being intellectual stimulated by a woman or being turned on by emotional connections. I think if women were to be honest with themselves then yes, 20-something year old men in their physical…

Correct me if I'm wrong because all of my Michael Jordan knowledge comes from Space Jam but I feel that he is an infinitely classier man than Hulk Hogan anyway.

I think it makes as much sense as Christians who have pre-marital sex. That is also considered a sin and I have often heard it lumped with adultery (you might be sleeping with someone else's future spouse). People are able to accommodate all kinds of different interpretations and practices into their faith. There are…

does nobody else think that both stories seem off? Even if he is a douche why would he out of no where repeatedly attack a woman for no reason. Like I don't believe it was as saintly as he says and that elevator snap was all the proof I need of his douchedom. Where was everyone at the dance? Like why we're they not…

Maybe you're right. Maybe police usually treat unarmed non-white suspects with a modicum of level-headedness and we just see the exceptional cases because of our present technology. These incidents are still SO numerous, I can find no comfort in thinking they're the exception and not the rule.

This is one of those "man this really sucks" situations where there are valid points on both sides and (with the exception of the original police and the rioters/looters) everyone seems like they are trying to do the right thing.

If you need me, i'll be sitting on the fence.
