Re: Mortal Kombat X, it’s worth mention that the same strategy was used on XBO. You install the game (and irritating and lengthy process to start with) and then you have the option to play as only a couple of characters, with one background, and no story mode. VERY frustrating way of doing things.

I’m super glad they’ve done away with the selfie sticks because, quite frankly, they impede the experience...even if you put aside the general risks associated with them.

I could comment on everything else but, really, all I took from this is that Kirstie Alley is a fucking idiot. She should stick to hawking jenny craig, or whatever other bullshit diet she likes, and leave science to people that, you know, KNOW SCIENCE.

Risk of death?

This really says it all. Even if you give an antivaxxer a point...even if you say “OK, theres a less than 1% chance that autism can be caused by a vaccination....not vaccinating is STILL the wrong decision.

BINGO DING DING DING.

Seriously, don’t click on links to articles about it and read the comments. It will infuriate you. Though it IS fun to respond to biblical quotes with your favorite quote from Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings or whatever. May see if I can sneak in some 50 shades of gray later, just to really cheese off the…

Its fairly ancient history at this point - I’ve actually remarried since. But thanks :)

So dumb. Not going to be able to show it in history books either? It’s one thing if you’re publishing a game called “slave beater” or something...but come ON now.

This thing is, in several states, being regulated like a motorcycle. While it’s only 3 wheels it’s certainly more car than the tomahawk...

Honestly none of this is shocking. I didn’t bother seeing the first Ted because to me, at least, it looked like an infantile piece of crap. Ted 2 just looked like “infantile piece of crap redux”.

While I will acknowledge that it’s usually the dude trying to explain shit away, it’s not always. I caught my ex-wife cheating on me, and also having some inappropriate email conversations, on an email account I didn’t know existed, and was only being used to communicate with one dude (her mistake was letting me…

I know I’m going to get skewered for this but...

So why is lady in gray in a moto-cart if she can hop up and box a couple rounds?

I was thinking the same thing - the number of hours the kids in my neighborhood and I spent trying to beat that goddamn game...

So the last couple of games have looked fantastic, and I know people love them...but I’ve honestly not gotten as “in” to any of the FO games since the original...which I spent HOURS playing, and likely still would if I had a copy of it.

What I find most frightening, apart from the action itself of course, is that the parents really don’t see that this behavior is a DIRECT result of the overwhelming restrictions that they place on their children.

Yes and no - I’ve always been on the less aggressive “Fight the system” side myself. If they want to ask about my past criminal history, I’m okay with it - primarily because I don’t have one. If they want to ask about past drug use, go for it - if you’re going to hold my smoking pot 20 years ago against me, then quite…
