Patricia, you don’t understand how important it is that Fallout be immersive. Whenever my character sleeps, I sleep. When my character eats roasted fly carcasses, so do I. When my character takes damage, I lean in and kiss his boo-boos on the screen. I never save or load. I’ve left my computer on for 2 weeks. I have…

As someone who took two semesters of architectural history, I can tell you that Scandinavia is basically at the top of the design world.

really? I mean I don’t understand how people don’t get it. Either we as men except that women can come up to our level and be cool with it or we admit that we want all the privelage and it makes us afraid that woman are trying to climb up on to the pier.

This b.s. about how rights need to TRULY equal is just a thinly…

You know how many people have described solitary, especially for extended periods of time as torture. We tolerate solitary for thousands of inmates, many in for non-violent crimes. Even if Synthia is now out of her cell, this remains a real problem. When people say “Well look at what they did,” I don’t know how that…

“if your model of events assumes a fourteen-year-old nerd is secretly a master criminal capable of manipulating all of his teachers, law enforcement first responders, and the national media, rather than that a fourteen-year-old-nerd is just really bad at reading social cues, your model of events is garbage.”

I see you don’t mention children. The day I get 5 uninterrupted hours to plan and cook a week’s worth of meals is the day they move out.

Don’t sweat the difficulties, Albert. If we know one thing about gamers, it’s that they’re not particularly hypersensitive to any sort of direct or even indirect criticism about their hobby.

You could always start with the very piece on which you’re commenting.

“add no value” - it’s a single player game about getting lost in this detailed sandbox environment. The value is in the depth of the simulated world.

OK, it’s pretty hilarious that you think someone would call for the dissolution of the federal government out of an urge to appear more authoritarian than others. +1

I’m growing more and more uncomfortable with the seemingly increasing progressive notion that people’s backgrounds must be fully delved into and punishment doled out for things they did years and years ago, retroactive, permanent punishment. It strikes me as so anti-liberal.

Hey, it’s the white guy who is more enlightened then all those *other* white guys!

The game dropped the ball with just about every character:

I mean, animals are not capable of “inner lives” as she says it. Chickens brain capacity is nil. Even dogs, as much as I love them are incapable of appreciating art, or building a city. Their family units are more about natural processes and urges than respect or love.

Wait... are you comparing slaughtering animals for food to actual human slavery? You don’t see how that analogy is really, severely fucked up?

No, I simply have a different perspective. I am a special education teacher and spend my days with children who are in the process of realizing that other people are smarter than them.

This really made me roll my eyes — I grew up a couple towns over from Colfax and it is not this ominous, hillbilly backwater that the author is making it out to be. Not everyone is on meth, not everyone is armed and looking to prey on solo female hikers. This isn’t deliverance. I get that that isn’t quite the dramatic…

So basically, you’re against the entire concept of film criticism?

But he doesn’t have the discipline, or the self-awareness: He also wants us to like Ted, to believe in Ted, which is to say, really, to believe in him, Seth MacFarlane, the lovable scamp who doesn’t really mean all those jokes about black cocks.
