“Remember kiddies, everything America has ever done was evil and wrong and racist and sexist and colonialist and nothing good ever came out of it and if you don’t agree you’re a fascist war pig misogynist and I HATE YOU SO MUCH I JUST DROOLED ON MYSELF.”

Remember, this is still a Gawker-run site, so anything and anyone to the right of Mao Zedong is considered wrong. The default brush their authors typically use to paint the rest of the world is the “everyone hates America” fan brush of white guilt and self-loathing. I still don’t know how a moderate like Tyler Rogoway…

I still haven’t played Destiny (I know, it’s awesome now and I don’t really have an excuse anymore) but with regards to shotguns, it is amazing how far removed video game shotguns have to be from their real-world counterparts for them to be truly balanced.

Well, to be sure, in some areas such as business, gender inequality is a real issue (not that it isn’t in the US, but it is much more pronounced in Japan). In other areas, such as tolerance of homosexuality, they are much more accepting in general.

Holy crap, the weapon detailing on this one is bonkers!

Say what you will about some of the less-savory aspects of anime/manga culture in Japan (and they definitely exist), but in terms of being egalitarian from a consumer standpoint they are way ahead of the US.

Yeah, they’re paid Kremlin trolls. One of their favorite MOs is to equate anyone who doesn’t support the illegal annexation of Crimea or the eastern Ukraine “rebels” with Nazis. They straight-up Godwin every thread they can find that isnt directly related to slobbing Putin’s micro-knob. I doubt some of them even hate…

Ah, you are absolutely correct! I had a brain fart and got the two mixed up.

Sheep-maintained radar arrays and nuke protesters at the wrong address. Must have been a pretty interesting time!

Everything old is new again.

Angry black swastika Santa Claus frowns on your shenanigans.

I wish they’d done that for the CoD 2 and Modern Warfare 1. The “defend the huge-ass house from Nazis” and “wait by the radioactive ferris wheel” sit-and-kill missions were utterly absurd to try and beat on the hardest difficulty levels.

I’ve never been able to eat truly enormous meals. Anytime I’ve tried, something in my brain snaps and my body goes right from signaling “you’re full, now stop eating” to “EVACUATE ALL STOMACH CONTENTS IMMEDIATELY.” Now, given enough time I can eat a single large serving of whatever. But asking me to eat even a couple…

I love how, even in their professional shots, they still don’t bother to clean up the scanty bits of fallen iceberg lettuce from the tray.

ALL HAIL PUBE VAN

This is really cool! Just imagine if the American Red Cross decided to have a promotion with characters from Legend of Korra, Steven Universe, or Adventure Time. I bet it could work here too!

Tyler, thanks for writing these updates. It is interesting to hear that the Russians would use cruise missiles against their anti-Assad targets. Is the Kalibr-Nk purely conventional or does it also have nuclear capabilities?

Does Latveria have no plastic surgeons?
