The Middle East has been throughly destabilized since the fall of the Ottoman Empire due to that debacle for humanity that was WWI. Saddam Hussein was not going to live forever. At some point we would have arrived at the current situation quite naturally

Yeah, because the Middle East hasn’t been a god forsaken tinder box the last 1,000 years...

Donald Trump: Our allies need to carry their weight or reimburse us.... Gawker: Donald Trump wants America running a protection racket...FoxtrotAlpha: No seriously Gawker, our allies are screwing us.

So being screwed over by Konami gives Kojima a lisence to screw people over himself? Sure, okay.

Why? Konami signed his paychecks and were probably fine with him. He has no reason to be upset about someone who sought to replace him being treated “unfairly”.

His point of view is fuck them for ditching him. Which is fair.

A big difference is that the US economy isn’t in trouble.

Yeah, the old ‘failure of imagination’ that Rumsfeld used to talk about. It’s something we’ve gotten slightly better at, but not by much.

During Vietnam, the US dropped rigged supplies behind enemy lines. Ammo that would explode AK’s, rigged mortar rounds, etc.

How could anyone with an internet connection NOT have heard of fucking Kony at this point. It doesn’t make your argument any less retarded.

Yeah, people don’t realize that not all radioactive material is created equal.

Except for golf and bowling none of those are sports. ‘E-sports’ is a mental game that takes a lot of talent and a lot of training. But its not a ‘sport’ and that doesn’t matter.

When these kids go to the barber, does the barber provide the bowl used in cutting their hair, or do they have to bring it from home? Is there a team bowl they all use!? That would be exciting.

I’m from the 90s, and I still agree. I prefer calling it “competitive gaming”. I don’t know why, but to me, “E-Sports” sounds like a disgrace for both sports and gaming. Like it’s a half-assed sport, and a joke of a gaming event.

As a (video)gamer from 1976 (Pong), i still think E-Sports are bullshit.

Well gamers always wanted to call themselves athletes without having to ever move their ass of their chair.
