Have you considered leaving one on the sidewalk outside Drew Magary’s home and lighting it on fire?

Nader’s actually a great example because the failure of the Democrats to attract progressives became the fault of the progressives when it all blew up in the Democrats faces.

Well, Krugman’s piece for instance. Or the NYT piece on the failure of the Clinton campaign to attract black millenias and how that’s played out on media twitter.

It’s less that people are trying to generate the enthusiasm and more that people are acting like it’s some kind of moral failing on the part of young people that they’re begrudgingly leaning towards Clinton rather than enthusiastically favoring her.

If people don’t care about the lack of enthusiasm for Clinton amongst young voters, why is it a major story in papers like the New York times?

This is- Really not my experience. I mean, I’m used to locking myself in the secret computer closet while he clears the hotel, and so are enough people that it’s an in-joke on boards like SomethingAwful.

Hillary Clinton is not entitled to my enthusiasm or my vote, and the way the media acts like she is? That’s really, really gross.

That kinda thing is way more common than you’d think.

I don’t know- My immediate impulse is to think that it’s a bit hackneyed even for the time. Ultima V was just Origin looking at the more overtly moralistic Ultima IV and saying “Oh absolutism is bad too”, which they followed up with the equally trite “Also cultural relativism” of Ultima VI.

Save Paul? Paul can’t die onscreen and the trigger for his death is whether you die/exit through the front door or exit through the window. And the GEP gun is great for opening doors/etc.

I never really had that experience because they have to go through the process of noticing you. Headshots are easy on trained or above, and that’s really all you need, especially since they’re mostly only in groups of two. The only tough spot is the bot, but that’s pretty irrelevant if you pick the GEP gun.

No, not really. Liberty Island’s actually one of the easiest areas because relatively few people (I think just the sniper and the french guys) have their guns out by default.

Counterpoint: The original Deus Ex was actually much, much, much easier unless you were very bad at it.

Basically, Augs are actually mostly working class people whose augmentations are paid for by their employers. In Human Revolution (and its marketing), the first voluntary aug was a blue collar worker who sued for the right to replace a limb so that he could keep up with an increasingly mechanized workplace.

Leaving Policy behind for a second, Obama and Bill Clinton are like Reagan: Naturally charismatic to a fault, with great show business instincts. Hillary Clinton is a lot more like George W Bush or Mitt Romney in that she’s not naturally super-charismatic.

In the fiction that predated Human Revolution, Augs were primarily working class people, mostly minorities, whose cybernetic implants were paid for by the government (if they were military) or their employers, which they latched onto in a desperate bid to avoid becoming obsolete and redundant. That’s part of why they

I think that’s a good idea if you’re not a super-fan. It’ll probably get sold in an ultimate trilogy pack kinda deal like the Mass Effect games (which were the main point of comparison back when this leaked a couple years back) after the DLC cycle for the last one’s up.

It’s complicated.

I don’t think it scanned like a romantic comedy, since IIRC it was mostly about relationships between women. I think it was more of a Sex and the City but with Ghosts kinda thing.

I think Hollywood is starting to get it, after the Hunger games. Marvel’s skipping Mar-Vell to make Carol the first film Captain Marvel, for instance.
