It worked in the PS2-era games because the games, while ridiculously fun and deep for games, didn’t really have deep social commentary or stories. It also worked in 4 because everything was tinged with disgust and extravagance, which fit with our protagonist’s world view. But in 5, none of the protagonists really fit…

There are going to be plenty of people loudly hating on Wolf for saying anything negative about 45, because one negative word about him triggers those folks to no end. But I do definitely think the Habermans and Brezinkis of the world will lose out. No one in the mainstream media seems to have learned that kowtowing…

I don’t have personal knowledge of what the people who make and write The Simpsons these days do with their lives but I’m willing to bet that they live in a very closed atmosphere of coastal comedy / animation folk who kiss their ass every single day of their lives for being a part of The Simpsons, The Comedy…

She knows there’s no reason for her to fold when it comes to Trump. She was literally his first call after the election was predicted in his favor. She gets to have all the access she wants and get all the headlines she wants while Trump gets to drag the media through the mud. Neither care that they’re contributing to…

Nurse identified! Just kidding, just kidding

Not to be a cynic about this but writing and calling your congressmen in this state does absolutely nothing. My wife wrote to Bob Corker — nationally known as a moderate nice guy — about the healthcare bill and he / his staff responded to her that she had been brainwashed by liberal teachers at UT. We’re going to be…

Not to mention the fact that the cops were called on him when he was apparently had a gun to his head. He also has one of the lowest collected time spent in his own district. The dude’s an embarassment.

“There has got to be a way to reach these white women.”

Education. Education, education, education. Republicans lie their asses off when it comes to abortion. Ask abortion supporters what happens when an abortion is performed and you’ll hear all about screaming fetuses being stabbed in the head with penknives. If you…

Yeah, no big deal, just a grown-ass man jerking off to videos of naked children.

Ayup.

Tommyknockers is the one where the little kid magician loses his little brother during a magic show, right? Yeah, I can definitely see the “repurprosed short stories” thing now.

“Valve’s pitch to us consisted of their representative playing a clip of a heart monitor flatlining, then standing there in complete silence for twenty minutes before saying ‘that man was a painter, but didn’t know it because he never bought a paintbrush.’”

I remember reading about NXIVM about a year ago before Allison Mack’s involvement was making the rounds on the Gizmodo sites and the guy in charge was apparently the type of cult leader who would force members to turn over personal information that could serve as blackmail. So yeah, that definitely provides an…

Scalia discarded his entire textualist philosophy on jurisprudence to claim that that. It really shows just how much of a snake he was.

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
