Aw, I kinda liked the old system. Spent hours discovering neat little skill/weapon combos on that wheel. Ah well. Evidently, it wasn’t for everyone and at least this way, more people (hopefully) will continue to enjoy one of the finest atmospheric and kickass questing systems ever done for an mmo.

Doin’ the lord’s work Jason. Thank you.

Say Cecilia, perhaps you could suggest Kotaku do a series on what games are being affected by the strike? While I sympathize with the difficult job of the voice actors, I only understand it in the abstract.

extremely gifted at something while lacking in more “normal” social behaviors

Arguably, the argument is more compelling coming from someone that has thrived in a capitalist system.

Here’s a related oldie but goodie (from Critical Miss):

Does it have to be a politician or can anyone hurl you to the ground? Your fans will still find the story equally entertaining/distracting, I imagine.

Don’t be silly. There’s a cat on it. Cats will instinctively steal any chair their owners find most useful.

I’m morbidly curious. Isn’t that, like super painful? I mean, sharkskin is like coarse-grain sandpaper.

Christianity is a pro-poor religion (blessed are the humble Mat 5:5) that advocates social service (give to the least of my brothers... Mat 25:45), non-violence (turn the other cheek Mat 5:38) and tolerance (the good Samaritan Luke 10:25, throw the first stone John 8:7, etc,).

Edit: It’s a bad example, but the best I can think of is: you don’t go a known thief’s house, and vandalize it, then say “well, they’re a thief, so it’s okay!” No. It’s not okay. You still did something wrong.

Maybe in Overwatch they’re small-fry? I don’t think I’ve seen their presence in the few tournaments I’ve seen. Hard to attract a decent roster at this point now that billionaires have decided to throw their weight around.

I’ll be honest. I’m less interested in the designer’s original intent than whether or not the kids like the inclusion. Are they more excited upon seeing Jack Sparrow or less?

wow. so all families really do have a racist uncle.

I dunno man. I’ve met more than enough people that fantasize about being some kind of hero so they prematurely jump into situations before learning who’s really in the wrong.

While I ostensibly agree with you. The appropriate place to contest the rule would have been beforehand to HR who promulgated it or to Marketing who probably figured United’s “brand champions” do not wear spandex or something equally inane.

Actually, I think it was a courtesy to ask the kids to change before getting management involved and making things official. I’m sure neither kid wanted to be the reason daddy/mommy was cited for a violation.

Ugh. Evangelicals. I don’t think there’s much confusion there. The two groups may as well be from different religions altogether.

Actually, Roman Catholics have that one covered too. While there may be inaccuracies and contradictions in the copy/editing in the manuscript, the official interpretation of scripture (as done by the Vatican, of course) is always infallible due to divine inspiration. And should that interpretation change in time, it’s…

I wonder if it would help if you just make a habit of fully shutting down your ps4 rather that leaving it on rest mode? Granted, you don’t get to update your games or charge your controllers while you’re not using it, but that sound like a fair trade for not having to deal with fried roach shit.
