Agreed. My dad, loyal Fox viewer, had the following reaction when Hannity was forced to finally accept some dull, fractured reflection of reality and admit the Seth Rich story he built up was bullshit: “Well, it looks like they got to Hannity, too.”

I didn’t have the energy to ask who “they” are, specifically, or how…

Bioware fan here: Don’t hold your breath.

I still remember the moment from the last game where I kept getting killed by the DL-44 or whatever it’s called and I thought to myself, “Hm, that’s weird, why is everyone using a pistol?” and then finding out the preorder bonus was the most powerful weapon in the game. And then thinking “Oh, I see. Fuck you, too.”

Not to pile on, but . . . you’re still buying the game. The truth is these practices aren’t going to end until a significant amount of people give up the actual game to make a statement. All what you’re doing tells EA is that “we haven’t pushed people far enough yet. Maybe next time, we can push them a little farther.”

That game taught me some important life lessons, honestly. Not about physics, but I can remember making every droid with the big giant rectangular wheely bottom because it was “the biggest and the fastest and the coolest” and then being disappointed when I couldn’t get up narrow ramps.

It’s worth noting that games like Rebel Assault, Rogue Squadron, Super Star Wars, the original Battlefront series, etc. are all games that people can come back to later, revisit them as a piece of gaming history, still enjoy them for what they are.

I think the worst thing that EA and many other AAA developers are doing…

It really makes sense, karma-wise, that the first time the Titans have a shot at holding the AFC South in years, the Jags decide to stop being so completely terrible at everything.

Tucker Carlson: “Tonight on the show, you won’t believe what’s playing the race card now.”

TC: *shakes head* Tsk tsk. Is this really America?

This incredibly depressing news will at least be somewhat offset if (and that’s a big if, admittedly) that troglodyte Roy Moore finally falls after his own heinous sexual activities was revealed today, as well.

I don’t know whether he did it or not, I legitimately have no idea (since no one has actually said that it happened to them). But I mean . . . he’s said “there’s nothing to the rumors.” If he’s guilty then his misdeeds should be forcefully dragged into the light, obviously, but if he’s not guilty then I’m sure he’s…

Yeah, I know plenty of Trump voters too. And they are scared. Scared of minorities. Scared of equality. Scared of their privilege being taken away. Boo. Hoo.

Let’s not forget that Trump, in his “tell it like it is” way, was willing to go farther than the vast majority of Republicans and say on national television that women who get abortions need to be punished. Moving those goal posts, signaling to the most rabid conservatives out there.

Reminds me of the story that went around after the election of the Muslim woman who voted for Trump because she disagreed with Bill Clinton’s policy on Lebanon. Some people really just cannot see the forest for the trees.

I like this, great analysis.

I would take issues with characterizing abortion as a fifty-fifty split. Pew says pro-choice has an approximate ten point lead on anti-choice.

I’d also nominate as a “least we can ask for” from a progressive candidate is to support a woman’s right to choose. The way they’re going right now, the Democrats are going to sell female bodily autonomy down the river.

That’s why his business cards all say “Doctorb Rand Paul”

By “these guys” I assume you mean “every single AAA developer under the sun”.

Attacking someone from behind that doesn’t know you’re there to defend the honor of definitely-not-a-rapist Jameis Winston when Winston was the one stirring the shit definitely ranks up there as one of the least honorable things someone can do.

I’ve got a grudge against “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” that’s lasted since it was played in every goddamn beer commercial ever there for a couple of years.
