I’m not so sure even nukes would solve this, barring turning all of the Middle East, Indonesia, large chunks of Africa, a good deal of India,and parts of Eastern Europe into radioactive wastelands for the next several hundred years. Jihadists believe, really truly believe, that dying while fighting unbelievers is an…

Push for moderate reform within Islam by giving soapboxes to Muslims who preach sanity and a modern understanding of ethics. Stop coddling conservative Muslims who don’t necessarily support terrorism, but still approve of stripping rights away from women and homosexuals, or who believe apostasy is a death sentence.…

I could only think two thoughts during the video:

You could almost hear the mental checklist of “Shit that Will Get Me Fired” being run down.

Considering it’s being made by Chinese backers, the price hike makes sense. From what I understand, Chinese buyers don’t care about performance numbers or features on their cars nearly as much as how much they can brag about spending big money on them.

I think half the reason a pillory was included in one of the Fallout 4 DLCs was an implicit admission by Bethesda that the kinky sex mods are on the horizon. I’m sure some animators out there are glad half their work has been done for them at the very least.

First of all, I should point out that my post was more of a generalized observation, and not so much a directed attack at you. I apologize if I put you on the defensive.

This appalling bit of logic here is what strikes me as the problem with “SJWs”, as some people derogatively label them. The idea that just because something makes you uncomfortable, it needs to be banned from any form of representation is anathema to freedom of expression and creation.

On the other hand, advertisers need to realize that if they want clicks, they just might have to live with the content that brings the clicks in.

OK, so I grew up in Flint Michigan, not quite in the ghetto but close enough to hear the gunshots (I mean that quite literally). If someone told me they got robbed at a gas station on the North side of Flint, I’d believe them.

Because anybody that has ever been to Brazil will tell you that it’s a beautiful country filled with wonderful people, but if you step into the wrong neighborhood, the best bad situation you can hope for is just getting robbed.

The FBI is involved as PR damage control nothing more or less.

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.
