What the hell is the "cultural left"? For people who like to conflate anything left-of-center with the USSR, far-right conservatives have a real nasty habit of sounding like fucking Stalinists.

I think the notion that the UK is doomed to Tory rule following the independence of Scotland is dubious given that the country currently only holds 59 of 650 seats in the House of Commons.

For the life of me I don't understand why so many anglophone Canadians harbour such disdain for the Quebec sovereignty movement (aside from how weird and racist Parti Quebecois has become) and why the Canadian media is so opposed to it, for that matter. It seems often that it has less to do with genuine intellectual…

As an outsider I'm pretty fascinated by the referendum, if only for it's potential to upset what I gather is a particularly stagnant political climate in one of the world's most powerful states.

Have you played any later strike missions? I'm curious if the "boss" enemies that you fight later are more mechanically interesting than the those from the beta. The devil walker and that big floaty eye thing just sorta had you hide behind cover and slowly whittle away at their health in between waves of spawning…

I got that, I was just suggesting that a pre-review Q&A might've been better served after he'd played a bit past the content that had been available in the public beta a few months prior to release. I acknowledge that I was perhaps being somewhat unfair though.

Yeah, like I said, it's hard for me to gauge the necessary time investment to get through all of that content given that I binged through so much of it over a few days at an unreasonable rate. I'd seen some footage a little earlier this week from some critics who'd gotten a little further in, but in fairness those…

So I guess Ryan didn't play much (if any) more than what was available in the public beta? I appreciate the need to be timely, but this might've been more useful if he had gotten a little further into the game.

I'm guessing pale, brunette and hopefully showing off them legs.

…Oh and, uh, over 18 obviously.

Who needs 1984 inspired clothing when we can all celebrate George Orwell's legacy by fighting for a socialist society?

Well, some of their pieces are alternately bizarre and insufferable to the point that I might buy that they're engaging in some sort of weird meta-commentary on western audiences' preference for sensationalism and confirmation bias over legitimate investigative journalism.

I'm pretty sure sending young white journalists to places they're barely prepared to be covering in the name of sub-gonzo journalism is pretty much VICE's entire modus operandi.

Fun House is still one of the most insane albums I've ever listened to. Each track gets even crazier than the last (with the exception of a bluesy respite in Dirt) and ends in an eruption of glorious noise.

I kind of feel the same way about cop shows. I'm a little uncomfortable with the portrayal of police in a lot of television (even stuff like Brooklyn 99) when my local police have pretty much been given carte blanche to engage in all kinds of reprehensible actions against minorities and activists (particularly those…

It was definitely one of the most fun hip hop albums I'd heard in ages.

I would've been more interested in this show if it were about Friedrich Engels having to put up with Karl Marx's wacky antics.

I'm usually a not a prude about this kind of thing, but "Franco and Rogan get into hijinks in DPRK" strikes me as perhaps being a little over the line given the information we have about the atrocities currently being inflicted upon the citizens of that country.

There are…other Japanese cartoons that may be more relevant to your interests.

I was going to make a snarky reply, but screw it; this is a stupid sentiment. There's so much great music that's overtly political that it boggles my mind when people trot out the tired "keep your agenda out of the music" BS.
