That sounds like an interesting concept. You might be interested in reading Guns of the South and the Civil War and World War books based off the GotS timeline. They're alternate history books where the US stays splintered.

Is that announced or it is a guess based off the design? I thought it looked more like Water/Dark.

When they start shifting issues like that, they can be classified as a troll. This is the exact tactic I see most successful trolls use no matter who or what they're trolling. They use full sentences and try to sound as intelligent as possible, and whenever their questions get answered sufficiently enough to prevent…

I know, right? Considering the album name being Tunnel Vision, the assumption the woman is naked due to the nipple and a close up of his gazing face superimposed upon the woman's body, I get the impression of a stalker-dude who only sees a woman as a thing to use to fulfill his own desires. Also, could that stare be…

If the design of the game actually requires it, like an MMO, then I don't see a problem. This, though, is restricting options that would work perfectly fine offline. Are you someone who travels a lot for work? Are you serving overseas? Do you live in a rural area where you have spotty internet? These people are being…

Diablo 3 did it because it was the only way to prevent cheating in a game that introduced an auction house you can spend real money in. Do you know how many people would be hacking to get a piece of that? It would also be a good target for money laundering. Sim City did it because they could, but there doesn't seem to…

The FF franchise has a history of trying new things with each new iteration of the series. The DQ franchise has a history of sticking with the same system and expanding on it slowly. As for ATB, 4,5,6,7,8,9,12,13 all use a form of the ATB system, and 10 played very similarly to ATB set to 'Wait.'

The crystal theme you're referring to is the entire line of FF13 games. What is now 15 was formerly VS13 from 6 years ago. VS13 was also supposed to be an action RPG, so it's no big surprise.

I tried to drink once. The most I drank most of my life prior was a single glass of wine very rarely. In my early 20s I decided to try to get drunk because I was feeling like shit and was curious how it might feel. 1 hour and 13 shots later, some vodka, some scotch, I stopped for fear of alcohol poisoning and still…

I'd like to preface this with a note that when I'm mentioning a community, in this context I'm referring to an area where the homes and streets were built by a single company that planned out how they wanted to build up a plot of land into a 50-200 residence lot. Some of these communities even require you to pay them…

Instead of just barring the posters, I would think that they could prosecute him on violation of obscenity laws already in place.

All cats are hunters.

My mom always loved to let my cats out. They brought me back presents without fail. One time I got brought an injured, but still alive, dove; it took a while to nurse it back to health. I've been brought birds of all types: gophers, crickets, rats, lizards and beetles just to name a few. One time one of them brought…

Always spay/neuter no matter what. I'll never understand people who don't. I'd also strongly recommend people keep their babies inside. The outdoors is like a giant playground, with razors and needles waiting just below the sand. Vehicles, predators, cruel humans, other cats, parasites and diseases are just some of…

I just save glass bottles and jars from other products, clean them and store tap water in the fridge. I cycle through them to keep the water fresh; refrigerated water beats 80-90 degree "cold" faucet water. If there's ever a disaster that cuts off water here I'll be set for a while. The only water issue I can see is…

I was thinking the same thing. To me, this looks like 2 stock photos of present day white people with photoshopped eyes.

Maybe the law could add in a new classification to assault to cover it. I don't have a good name for it, extraordinary violence against a woman? Something that would make it clear that the woman, not the fetus, is the victim.

Even fully dressed, why the boob-plate armor? Do they really need to compromise the effectiveness of the armor as if it's the only way to make sure it's known that you're looking at a female?

It's because they want the government to monitor "those people." They know they, themselves, aren't "those people" so they don't want the government monitoring them. The problem is, everyone has a different opinion on what "those people" are.

I was still in high school back then and thought the things being allowed in the name of security were ridiculous. Everyone told me I was too young to understand; I felt they were acting emotionally to a bad situation which many of them would be making jokes about if it had happened in another country.
