If someone tells you the violence in modern Far Cry games is meaningless and inconsequential, they didn’t understand the game they were playing. In 3, 4 and 5 (the only ones I’ve played and thus the only ones I’m going to offer an opinion on) the violence is extremely meaningful. 3 was a game-long discussion of how

I don’t understand what you mean by “the player isn’t allowed to say or do anything about it.” You kill 99.99% of all the torturers and rapists involved in the PEG enterprise. Joseph only escapes being killed by the bombs falling, which your character couldn’t logically stop.

I’m on your side on this one. I think people don’t give the writers enough credit for the implications they lay down. It’s kind of silly to think that the writers would have the Seeds doing all these things, but also that you were wrong to stop them. The villain in a story can be morally wrong but factually correct.

They have. Google “Santos Hilario Garcia” and “Marcelina Garcia Profecto”.

It’s just something that happens when a bunch of young white men with fragile masculinity get together. It’s like when you get the smell of ammonia in your nose and it feels like it’s punching the front of your brain: all that testosterone, cheap body spray and Smirnov Ice forms a toxic cloud that kills higher brain

If you’re a person who wanted more Super Troopers back in the day, there were multiple seasons of Reno 911! to scratch that itch

Don’t forget “Canadian Bacon”!

Maybe it’s because I’m in my twenties but I have literally known no other system except this. Every job I’ve had has either mandated employees to be on call or (in the case of retail work) held the <i>prospect</i> of getting to be on call for managers. The only way you could hope to work the equivalent of full-time

I’m nostalgic for Hastings because it was the only place in my home town where you could actually buy some damn books. You can go to Wal-Mart or Walgreens if you want a book with Joel Osteen’s face on the cover but if you want a copy of A Tale of Two Cities in your hands you better get your ass to the library.

FiveThirtyEight’s still got him at 37% but I guess if you’re Trump you’ve got no problem cherrypicking sources that satisfy your pre-existing viewpoints

I thought I could get around this by redownloading their app that I bought years ago, but they didn’t update it for iOS 11. So, that was a bust. It really is absolutely impossible to read on mobile.

What are they going to put on the arm of Metal Gear now!?

You can’t just go “hooray for you” to pooh-pooh my anecdote and then rebut it with your own anecdote.

With all that winning the Jags are doing, it must be nice leading the AFC South . . . oh. Wait. Not quite there yet. ;)

Obviously, I don’t know for sure how any of this works, but I know if I was Mueller I’d have all those indictments ready to go for sure. He’s only going to get one bite at the apple before Trump fires him. If he hits Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, Mike Pence, anyone else in the inner circle, then Trump is going to try

True, true. That’s why I didn’t consider buying Battlefront II, because once they announced that star cards and microtransactions were still a thing, I knew it was going to be more of the same trash that ruined their first pass at the property. Mass Effect I feel less guilty about because those had single player

I wanted to include Bill O’Reilly and his ilk.

I think it was this story that someone mentioned something similar under, but re: which group Trump voters consider themselves more similar to, that also has to do with them thinking they are more likely to gain the money that would necessitate worrying about things like the estate tax then losing so much money that
