1) I'm pretty sure the military will be having their 'psy-ops' people making posts using pseudonyms on this article and any other related article on popular news sites with a comment system.
2) When they do that, it will also be an ethical violation.
The military trying to influence civilians government officials is a big deal, regardless what some here think. Maybe some of you remember the 2008 story about the Pentagon coaching 'military analysts' to be supportive of the war efforts and then booking them on major television networks. Those are two stories the public found out about. How many more have we not?
If US citizens are fed erroneous information and our military devotes military psychologist specializing in manipulation against our elected officials.. its just one more little step towards a military dictatorship.
Hey, if this keeps my younger.. longer and adds 100 years to my life.. kick ass. You spend half your life figuring what the hell you are doing... then you spend the other half slowly withering away. I want Leslie Nielson back, dammit!
I work at a newspaper. All work goes though a copy editor first, and usually a managing editor will take a glimpse at it. How someone so poorly written and controversial could accidentally get through the editorial staff is beyond me.
Either this guy is incredibly free of oversight, or his editoral staff is lazy, or... they purposely put this out to create controversy and hopefully get more people to go watch the film.
Tell me this Obi-wan, what are the chances of presidential elections being so close, so often? How come the U.S. voters are so magically divided evenly down the middle on the issues?
What is more probable: That we seem to be almost 50/50 on who to run for president, or, that one candidate cheats more than the other to get just ENOUGH votes to win?
All those fan shots are nothing more gamma, contrast, and saturation alterations. The original Diablo 2 has 2 of those options - Blizzard just needs to add saturation video options to Diablo 3.
I was able to replicate the fan shots in photoshop in about 30 seconds using just those 3 settings.
BTW, I completely agree with the Blizzard Design team on the new look. I hated playing Diablo 2 cause of the limited pallete selection. Everything looked the god damn same.

If we can sue 4 year olds, might as well also give them the right to vote.
6 years of someones life has just been gained?

Maybe NASA is planning on paying us back?
