Not for surveillance, just don't see what we do about it. No election is about surveillance. Both parties are for the wiretapping BS in general. Who do you turn to? The alleged party of small government or the alleged party of civil liberties? You have to go outside the mainstream political...

So good. That was great. I still think it's probably asians.

The parents don't know shit about the situation of the teachers and generally blame them for the byproduct of their own bad parenting. Asian parents don't shit on teachers. Their kids kick ass in school. Which one is employing a strategy of actually educating their kids? I'm not being...

Man I love suit pants. I despise ties and buttoning up to my collar though. I've got all the range of motion I need in business clothing below the waist, but less so above. My top issue is probably commute. I love living near where I work. Going from point A to point B is a waste of time...

Isn't that what paintball is? I've heard of companies getting the office together to go shoot each other as a team building exercise. Anyway, I love water balloons. So few people tolerate them though. I give them to kids as my proxy war on their parents since it is considered unacceptable...

The children's union is not your elected anything. Kids can't vote. They're unrepresented in all representative democracies.

Yerp. Levels are just an abstraction of player power. They're more honest than AAs and gear are in that they are visible metrics in most games. I think it's pretty easy to check someone's gearscore in WoW, but that's a relatively recent conceit - a byproduct of the LFD/R system.

It won't be good unless like Dalaran they decide to cram about 200 distinct textures into the size of a small city block. My fucking bracers had better have 3 textures all by themselves. I want computers to explode in the presence of my bling.

Merlin, valiant defender of the wealthy. When people can't buy shit and therefore companies can't employ people to sell shit, the solution is to be certain buyers of shit have no money. Just need some more benevolent rich fucks to swoop in and create some jobs with their rich magic, once the...

I played it for maybe an hour. The fight sequences really drag it down for me. I don't enjoy this kind of combat. Hiding boxes everywhere is annoying, especially when there is no overt save and previous areas become inaccessible abruptly and frequently. The climbing walls stuff is OK, but a...

The more you know

Shouldn't Kevan Lannister already be more prevalent in the politics of the realm? His role feels light.

Decent gameplay ideas, but a lot of jagged edges in the implementation. Also it ran a little rough with 3 crashes over the course of a couple days. I'd give it like 2.5 or a 3/5. With some work it could be a really stable lovely game, but it's not there yet.

I keep checking in to see how things are going. At this point I can't tell if the fixes are for old bugs or newly introduced ones as I don't play currently. Paid beta rolls on. Source

Sword of Truth sure as fuck isn't part of that good material.

Carl Sagan was a conservationist, so he would probably be against funding the timber industry when there is an alternative.

Not that Jaime would be much help right now. Isn't Payne still kicking his ass by request?

Spanish were famous for the effect design of regiments comprising combined pike and musket called tercio, but I always saw them as pale arabic ala north africa. The free cities of Essos remind me of southern european/arabic and the hordes are obviously central asian/mongol. Dorne was allegedly...

I don't like spoilers because it ruins the suspense. I also hate authors who don't have their characters suffer any consequences because it removes the suspense. I KNOW that Drizzt will always be fine, and that's lame. It's the same shit with most TV shows. There are generally half a dozen...

Yea, I just assign them a medic and they'll be solid soon enough.

Fuck WoT. That series went to the dogs long before RJ died. I need more stormlight god damnit.

Yea, it was generally overdone. But they had some odd references like Hendrix. WoW didn't release in the 1960s, so I don't know how much it dates your game unless you're just doing internet references like chuck norris jokes.

Europa Universalis IV comes out 08/13.

She doesn't find out until she lands in Meereen on her way to become one of Dany's dragon riders.

<--hobo corpse-raper

Fable isn't what was promised, but it's still decently put together. It is ridiculously short though. I never got to play Fable 2. I'm pretty sure it's still a console exclusive. WTB HD remake kthx.

Afghani culture? One of the issues afghanistan faces is that nationalism isn't strong. They're primarily rural pashtun, northern tajik, and central hazara. Their anthem is in pashto, but dari is commonly used by half the population.

East asian kids do better because their first/second generation parents hold them responsible for their actions as they reflect on the family as a whole. This is a consistent aspect of east asian culture. I'm pretty sure they also have a statistically higher rate of suicide, so it's not all...

A lot of this. They are adding new stuff that could cause problems, but it also looks like they're stripping some of the stupid out. None of the WoW clones have really been addressing WoW's problems. They emulate the broad strokes and throw in an M. Night Shyamalan twist that goes over as...

How did either of them betray the military?

pretty much lol

That damn LifeLock ad gives me new browser tabs in Firefox. It's mad gay.

Yea, I didn't care for the Yunkai shit. It got like 30 seconds of nonsense and done. They're really squeezing the complexity of Dany's position down to nothing. I thought Jon's escape was decent, but it was a lot more clear cut than it was in the books as we got to see the perspective of so...

Better than #2. In both 1 and 2 I found Galifinakis's character to be an annoying black hole of funny. In this one his character added to the story fluidly. All the characters meshed better in #3 than anytime prior.

Maybe proximity matters. We keep getting snippets about how the Maesters had a broader understanding of magic and worked to undermine it by sabotaging the dragons. Or maybe they just help catalyze certain types of magic. I would prefer Martin be a tad more explicit about how this shit works.

The best selling fiction books are like 99% at a 8th grade reading level. The white walkers aren't sparkly enough.

The story isn't about the Starks, but it is most often told from the perspective of the Starks. They're a narrative device. It's about a period of change in the world. The Starks, Lannisters, and Baratheons are just the most pivotal families in Westeros. The North, led by the Starks, is...

Yea, Stun is ridiculous. It carried me for a while. I'll probably play through the entire thing again after a few patches. Allegedly there are bugs present atm. Like I didn't get to finish my quests in Hispaniola because the final fight was going down and the town changed. I read that you...

I'm comfortable with his depiction.

I beat it mostly using 3 warriors, 2 hunters, and 1 doctor. Hunters are pretty weak though. I was basically just going on inertia by time I got to Mexico. I'm curious about alternate endings. I googled and got nothing. What can you achieve? I kept telling everyone I was going to backstab...
