So, you're spending your saturday anonymously posting to slashdot about "libtards" and the persecution you face from them every day.
i don't really need to say much of anything else, do I?
What disturbs me is the apparently lockstep between the UK and the US in the subversion of democracy and installation of fascist totalitarianism. I'm not even a so-called conspiracy nut, this should just be obvious to anyone following the news. Why is this not being talked about?
So this is where we're at now? Not just pay-to-play and inflammatory nonsense, but straight-up government-grade XBOX propaganda where we hear complete garbage like "statistically, only a minority of gamers have this sort of high-end hardware", when your bog-standard $200 R9 270x or Nvidia 760-whatever *smokes* the current console generation in terms of image quality. FPS, and resolution?
Not to mention the hilarity of this all centering around "Watch_Dogs", a game that is a textbook example of publisher bait-and-switch and making promises that are never delivered upon. Ubisoft is the Comcast of gaming.
This isn't even my opinion, this stuff is in wide discussion anywhere on the internet that cares about gaming in-general.
Today you took the time to anonymously post about "niggers" on Slashdot, and then you further took the time to engage in a "I could kick YOUR ass" discussion. I just want you to know that this is what you did with your time today. This is the person you are: a person who takes time out of his day to anonymously post about "niggers" on slashdot, and then talk about being able to snap people in half with no effort.
I don't even really have to say anything else about you. You've already done the talking, and we all know the reality of who you are. Everyone sees you, and everybody knows.
I'm thinking somewhere between "Altered Beast" and "Contra" - after playing through the subway tunnels, suddenly you arrive at the boss, a towering computer which hurls engineers at you.
Well, the bottom line is that when I see a Chik-Fil-A, instead of thinking about delicious chicken nuggets as I did for the first 35 years of my life, now I think about politics and what ignorant bigotry my money may or may not support. I may not have an MBA, but I am pretty sure this is exactly how you don't run a business. Yes, I realize they had a boost in sales in the short-term.
Owned a Mac laptop, happily evangelized them, my primary desktop was a quad core 10.5 system for a good bit - saying this to not appear as a biased user - the Mac Finder is absolute *garbage* for a user who needs to do anything more than the most basic, basic file management - heck this is an OS which, up until 10.8 was more than happy to completely overwrite a network folder (without asking) rather than merge if you dragged a folder with an identical name into a file share. I followed eagerly every single OS X release up until the current, and buddy, if you feel like MS is making mistakes with Win 8, then you are willfully ignoring how far apple has gone to "iOS-ify" OS X's interface. Innovation in the apple camp apparently is now removing skeumorphism. The changes over the last few versions of OS X have completely sworn me off Apple, for good. We are squarely back to late 80s apple douchery.
Let's not forget that significant portions of the American workforce are 100% on-board with the idea that *not* slaving your life away makes you a worthless layabout. Slave mentality, indeed.
I just buy all of their games once a year for $2.99 on Steam and then never play them.

Thanks! I will definitely have to do so. I have the expansion, but have simply never gotten around to playing it (Steam sales, etc etc). Might be a good summertime thing to start up =)
The new Firaxis title was surprisingly good....

I personally didn't care for any of the sequels that followed XCOM/XCOM:TFTD - none of them seemed to capture that sublime perfection that is the gameplay of the original, most seemed like cash-ins on the IP. So, I was very surprised to find that the current Firaxis title was actually surprisingly, surprisingly good. I learned that recreating the original game in the engine they built was their first step in creating the new title, and clearly it was created with love. So, I say this for any fans who may have been like me, and avoided the titles strictly because historically the sequels stunk to high heaven.
Having said that, it still doesn't completely scratch that itch that only a game of nice, classic Xcom. Dosbox has always been an option of course, but Xcom has bugs, and while using "XcomUtil" (http://ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=XcomUtil) can fix many of these problems, the work of the OpenXCOM to give us such a wonderful, expandable, moddable version of such a giant of PC gaming is simply astounding. As I read over the documentation, I can't wait to give this a shot. Really want to thank these guys for such a wonderful job - my memories of the summer of 94 and this game are very fond indeed.
You are painfully insightful here on this, but just because they do it doesn't make it ok for him to have done this. Regardless of what I feel about some of the people involved, it is reprehensible to invade the personal effects of another person. It's a low life, scummy thing to do.
Rather than down mod you I feel I should address how offensive I find your statement, Mr. Company Man. So, what? Because someone had a drink or didn't wear a seatbelt, this mitigates the actions of GM? The bottom line is that NONE of those people would have died in an ignition switch accident had the switch not been faulty. I'm not even going to address the ludicrous inanity of your "Also MY Toytas accelerate fine!!".
So, because you knew a 15 year old with a drug problem (and much more likely problems at home), and so MDMA is bad, recreational drugs are bad, and it's not possible that they could offer anything positive to the experience of being alive. Gotcha. Ok, well, me personally, I credit MDMA and LSD with some of the most profound discoveries of self and the world around me, and I would be worse off for never having taken them.
How sad it is that psychoactive chemicals like this and LSD, which have been well demonstrated to have profoundly positive psychological effects (under responsible use) still cannot be used by responsible, grown adults? They can be the key to truly overcoming the psychological demons seem to be the human condition, and unlocked our true potential as self-aware, well-adjusted human beings.

This post says a great deal more about the kind of person *you* are and decisions *you* have made than it does anything else.
So, you're spending your saturday anonymously posting to slashdot about "libtards" and the persecution you face from them every day. i don't really need to say much of anything else, do I?
Which is ironic, because no audiophile would ever use gear from Creative Labs, ever, EVER.

As if any of us needed any further illustration as to how warped the United States and its priorities have become.

I am 99% certain that any child who has played a video game can read a map. Perhaps they can use it to avoid your lawn.

That's cool, dude. Your cynicism makes you appear so sagely and world-wise.
"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness."
Just a thought for you.

By the 1880s, the English Empire alone was more than capable of providing a fair sampling of global temperatures.
I mostly just watch the "specials" tab in the store - but the good news is that the summer sale starts in about 2 hours at 1 PM EST =)

(by the way, I apologize if my response sounded douche-y, that was not what I was going for)
