Dale Sr. would have lived if he’d been using the recommended safety precautions. He chose to take an elevated risk and unfortunately it didn’t work for him.

Wow it’s almost like movie ratings are a bunch of subjective garbage, created by religious extremists and shoehorned into the film industry as an unbelievably audacious scam.

Makes sense, remember when the whole buzz around Crysis was how beefy of a rig you needed to run it, and the results were nothing but positive sales for Crytek?
