The FBI are involved because this involves a high profile American athlete, and has quickly devolved into an international incident. If the American government didn’t make a show of getting involved, there would be public outcry about not being able to protect young Olympians.

Three things strike me as likely:

No no dear. That’s the death count you’re thinking of. They’re different things you silly goose.

I tried reading this article. I really did. Honestly.

IIRC one of the major influencing factors behind the British developing the first tank wasn’t just trench warfare, but the machine gun. Trench warfare wasn’t new, but the hell that was No Man’s Land was pretty unprecedented, and the British wanted someway to take the fight to the enemy without losing hundreds or…

Counterpoint about the first compared screenshots: Every single vanilla vault in Fallout 3, NV, and 4 has a similar large open area with either a balcony and windows looking down into it, usually meant as the gathering place for the vault residents. Less coincidence and more canonical Vault layout.

Actually the demo looks good, but not insanely good like Watchdogs did. What I just watched wasn’t that far removed from what GTA 5 on PC is capable of.

I’ve had my desktop for three years. I’m pretty sure there’s still a Windows 8 install disk in my blu-ray drive.

In one of my playthroughs, I’m roleplaying as a next generation synth (to justify the bullettime and glowing eyes mods I have installed). I’m basically just taking the institute path, but instead of “being made leader” I’m being fed a line of bullshit to keep me under control while the real leaders make the big…

I once saw a bumper sticker that said “Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, they brought you Pearl Harbor, Buy American” or some such bullshit.

-Player in Fallout 4: Why do I need to fiddle with lockpicks to open this flimsy wooden door when I’m wearing a nuclear powered suit of armor?

From what I remember of being a teenager, whether someone told me to think about the consequences of my actions, or if they told me not to think of consequences, my response would’ve been the same;

Looks like he takes a hard shot to the head around :40 seconds in the video that stuns him, and then by my count at least 9 more shots to the back of his head on the ground without really defending himself before the ref calls it.

Sort of Little Guys v Little Guys

I think the problem lies along the lines of people getting offended and then calling for whatever offends them to be silenced/ removed/ censored. People, on both sides of the aisle, have made the mistake of believing that the right to be offended equates to a right to not be offended. Some, often very vocal, people…

“Sexy, But Not Necessary”

I’ve talked to a tow truck driver who said that one time the tires on his truck were going bald and the owner of the tow company refused to buy new ones. So the driver got new tires installed out of his own pocket, a move which got him fired. Point being, if the driver noticed the problem and went to his boss with it,…

To misquote Tim Minchin “By definition “alternative medicine” has either not been proven to work or been proved not to work. Do you know what they call “alternative medicine” that’s been proved to work? Medicine”

A better title would’ve been “Ukranian pilot responds to the last few minutes of Gymkhana 8 by drifting plane in for landing”

More to the point, this guy gets paid to right sentences like that? I’ve written more intelligible internet comments on cold medicine and 36 hours of no sleep. And then I edited them three or four times for clarity.
