  1. EA is a distraction against what we truly hate. on EA Repeats As 'Worst Company In America' · · Score: 1

    "We don't know it, but we're doing it". Like how much of anti-semitism is actually a hatred of capital, hatred of EA is that same hatred of capital. If you hate EA, you likely hate the entire system, but have been conditioned in favor of the system because of the band-aids holding it together make it appear better than all other options.

  2. Re:Collateralized vs Non-Collateralized Loans on Let Them Eat Teslas · · Score: 1

    No, i don't mean Canada. Clearly you don't understand what is being discussed and insist on obfuscating matters for others. It was a comparison to be owned by a third party based on their investment in you.

  3. Re:Collateralized vs Non-Collateralized Loans on Let Them Eat Teslas · · Score: 1

    I don't think you have any understanding of what is being discussed.

  4. Re:Collateralized vs Non-Collateralized Loans on Let Them Eat Teslas · · Score: 2, Informative

    I mean that the state is an investor in it's citizen as opposed to a private corporation. With this, they claim rights over the individual much like a corporation would if the state permitted.

  5. Re:Collateralized vs Non-Collateralized Loans on Let Them Eat Teslas · · Score: 1

    Isn't this more or less the Cuban model, but with an unspoken contract and no buyout options?

  6. Re:Nintendo needs to rethink its place in the worl on Is the Wii U Already Dead? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Sure, if you want to be within 25 feet of the Wii U box and you're too poor to have more than one TV in the house. The gamepad only way was definitely designed for poor people or people who didn't want their kids wandering off with a DS. Since you can't even leave the room without it cutting out, it's a failure.

  7. Re:Poor bootleggers will remember mini-disc fondly on Sony To Make Its Last MiniDisc System Next Month · · Score: 1

    Thought i was logged in an could edit typos later. Sorry about that. Menu=many. That=than.

  8. Re:Still not a sport, try as you may.. on Sports Bars Changing Channels For Video Gamers · · Score: 1

    I played several years of high school baseball. Baseball is about as physically taxing as golf. I get as much exercise running up and down the stairs between SC2 matches to get food from the fridge as i got in baseball games in high school.

  9. Re:I played wow for a few years on Study of MMOG Proves Human Interaction Theory · · Score: 1

    Which generally consists of acting irrational ->drama.

  10. I played wow for a few years on Study of MMOG Proves Human Interaction Theory · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And i seem to recall most people absolutely loving drama and being controlled by irrational desires. This sounds stressful to me.

  11. I don't get what people see in the new Doc combo. on Matt Smith Leaving Doctor Who Already? · · Score: 1

    I've been a fan since the series has been restarted up and this Doctor is by far the worst. Karen is clearly the worst Who girl while being one of the cutest in a girl next door way. The fact that they had to take a year off sort of reinforces my thoughts. They were simply out of material and quality writing and had to brainstorm. The acting, scripts, and delivery of the scripts has been off the charts cheesy. Yes, i realize this is a kids show but it's just been sorely lacking. I think we saw the end of the downfall with the last few episodes of the previous season. They just seem to be a ^C^V^ amalgamation of other stories we've seen a thousand times.

  12. People play video games to escape the spectrum on Religion in Video Games · · Score: 1

    , the very limited spectrum, that religion forces them to live in real life. We are supposed to be role playing something we can not be. We all could and act honestly if we tried too. What fun is that to do in a video game. We want to do something we are not capable of.

  13. Anyone who speaks truth will sound a bit crazy. on Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) "Concision means you have to be able to say things between two commercials. Now that’s a structural property of our media—a very important structural property which imposes conformism in a very deep way, because if you have to meet the condition of concision, you can only either repeat conventional platitudes or else sound like you are from Neptune That is, if you say anything that’s not conventional, it’s going to sound very strange." -- Noam Chomsky

  14. Could someone do a youtube criticizing this review on The Definitive Evisceration of The Phantom Menace *NSFW* · · Score: 1

    It's slow, boring, drags on, and generally promotes more of an Americanization of the movies which i felt were the downfall.

  15. Re:Not the same label on Facebook Campaign Decides UK Christmas Music Charts · · Score: 1

    Clearly you have no idea what a hypocrite is, even after reading the definition. The best way to destroy anything is to infiltrate it (become part of it, inside it) and cause decay from within.

  16. Did anyone else notice the language in the post? on Facebook Mafiosi Go To the Mattresses vs. Zynga · · Score: 1

    The author refers to botting as "script the game to optimize enjoyment". While i personally am not opposed to botting this is true of all botting. Most people refer to this as cheating because you're not playing the game but the reality is you are merely automating mundane tasks that we consider "below our pay grade".

  17. The good borrow, the great steal. on Microsoft Steals Code From Microblogging Startup · · Score: 1

    What more else needs to be said? There are no new ideas just people hybridizing previous ideas.

  18. Re:Leave Cuba Alone on Cuba Jails US Worker Handing Out Laptops, Cellphones · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The problem is that this isn't "freely". This is pushed and prodded from the USA. Often time these people handing out laptops and cell phones were directly or indirectly from the US gov't themselves. If a Cuban or Iranian national was found doing the same things trying to foment revolution and spread of Islamic ideas Americans would be up in arms.

  19. Re:Communism on Cuba Jails US Worker Handing Out Laptops, Cellphones · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That single party system is the problem we have in America as well.

  20. Homogenized, hurried, designed for purely profit on Pirates as a Marketplace · · Score: 1

    Homogenized, hurried, designed for purely profit work is not "art' as much as EA likes to claim it is. They are just cogs in the machine of bigger profit. Ask most artists who works for these companies. They hate their work from the corporate side. They would much rather be using their creative vision for something that is truly artistic.

  21. Re:World of PauseCraft on Review: Dragon Age: Origins · · Score: 1

    Are you using kiting strategies? And what system are you playing on? I'm using PC. Try kiting the first boss in the tower with your mage and see if all of your party stays on him. I also played Baldur's Gate ... 10 years ago. So i don't recall TBH. Either way they need to expand the tactics list.

  22. World of PauseCraft on Review: Dragon Age: Origins · · Score: 1

    Until they fix/patch the tactics to allow more and a smarter AI where your players don't get stuck when you're kiting mobs around it's a game that plays much more like a TBS(turn based strategy) than an RTS. The squad based play is very clunky and you have to constantly pause the game to assign new commands for your players to execute. Thankfully the cooldowns on most of the abilities are fairly long so it's not a total nightmare but if you hate a game you have to pause constantly to setup commands you will really dislike this game. Solutions: Double the number of tactics at least, Make any untargeted PC auto-follow/attack his target(As it stands right now if you kite a mob your players will gets stuck and just stand there), and give the ability to link commands between players. Let me macro all of my characters' main offensive ability to 1 key as if i'm a 5 boxing shaman.. It wouldn't really be OP because you do that while paused anyways.

  23. I'm aesthetically impaired i'm going to sue on Visually Impaired Gamer Sues Sony · · Score: 2, Funny

  24. Class Warfare on Cable Exec Suggests Changing Consumer Behavior, Not Business Model · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The consumer will start caring about the corporation when the corporation starts respecting the consumer. Right now the corporation will screw the consumer over to get every last dollar out of them and the consumer will try to get everything possible for free. There will never be respect unless the war is ended.

  25. Re:Terrorists will just learn to be fearless on Fear Detector To Sniff Out Terrorists · · Score: 1

    It's likely you wouldn't. The variance on injury to do random act of violence is so high that it it almost conditions us as if it doesn't happen.
