I hate those thick-rimmed hipster glasses that everybody is wearing in school. They make you look like a dork.
I don't think republicans are idiots and support a lot of their opinions and dislike how they get ragged on all the time.
Though I do concede that they do do lots of idiotic things

I believe that calling people childish when your argument crumbles is just below strawmanning and just above threatening someone. Often times it isn't even used correctly - you could give someone a lecture on the technicalities of quantum physics and they'd still call you childish.
Also, when people whine about you whining just because you wanted to blow off some steam like any other human being, and said people then whine like a bitch about something later.
The word overrated is over-used.
I dunno why, but I prefer the international dub for Gundam Wing over the original Japanese voice acting (much to the point where i can look past Relena Darlian's subpar voice acting)

I don't really know what to think. This man is clearly to dangerous to be put into society. Rehabilitation would be to risky. But to punish him for something he hasn't yet done would be unjust. What could we do to him?
Perhaps monitoring by officials and weekly visits to a psychiatrist? Rehabilitation in an asylum?
I don't know, and I don't want to drift on the topic because it makes me worried and ill to do so.

That all depends on the quality of the commentary. They aren't getting payed for playing games, they're getting paid for being entertaining to watch.

I disagree. At the end of the day all you're doing is talking over a game.
Maybe if your LP is fantastic and you go out of your way to explain the game and show off all the secrets and what not. None of this "watch me fail at games" or "watch me pretend to be scared" shit. Which is a huge chunk of LP. ChipCheezum's LPs are fantastic, I don't mind seeing him make money from ads or whatever, but people who make a living out of this are more often than not just trying to promote themselves and make money. And you shouldn't be using someone elses hard work to do that.

Both sides are guilty of that last one.
Veeeery guilty...
Fuck congress (popular opinion).
I don't oppose the death penalty because of the moral issue with killing criminals . I oppose it because the state will fuck up and kill innocent people.

The problem with law is that lose no matter what you do. Execute him? What if its an injustice, no repenting there, and in order for it to be humane it becomes expensive.
Life sentence? State has to spend millions looking after him for the rest of his life. Mental hospital? May be evaluated by incompetent people and let out prematurely.

It's an extremely difficult thing to think about. Mireso when you're raising a child with an already troubled past. The thought of Cossete being in that situation makes me feel physically ill and I don't want to think about it.
Although not exactly an opinion, i feel that this is the most appropriate place to put this:
I really hope that the next gen consoles will give hardware manufacturers incentive to make better parts while also shaving off at least $10-$25 off their price tags. Otherwise, i'll probably feel like an idiot for buying a brand spanking new PC next year.

I wear thick-rimmed hipster perscription glasses because I'm cheap and they were the cheapest when I went to get my eyes tested.
Am I a dork for that? :c

Shirt blue do you like?
With English you can understand what someone is saying before they finish. With other languages you've got to wait for the end of the sentence to understand what they are saying. It might sound more poetic, but it's less practical.

[QUOTE=The golden;42253761]I think the invitation registration system needs to be reimplemented. The amount of bots and alts which are pouring in is insane.[/QUOTE]
Also the mass unbanning (while some ok people came back) was a fucking awful idea and opened the door for a lot more people with alts to hang around on after they got rebanned.
There was this dumb sentiment going around about how bioshock infinite and the last of us deserved the hype despite being fairly average. The argument for the lack of innovation in both games was that with any more actual technical innovation the "narrative wouldn't work or be as great.
Well guess fucking what. Grand theft auto five just came out. If tlou or bioshock 3 has a score any higher than a seven in your opinion in my book your taste in gaming is about as stagnant as a century old watering puddle in the middle of africa.
Really gtaV just blew the lid off the crapsack standards the gaming industry has today. GtaV is basically the first game in years to come out and actually be groundbreaking and innovative without bullshit excuses.

Basically infinite and last of us's "narrative" are a moot point into how fucking bland both games are. Cause now the narrative excuse is gone
Oh what you play as a character for the first five minutes who gets shot? Riveting. Didn't call of duty do something similar like fifty billion times before?
You wanna know how gtaV one ups that? You play as a character who happens to introduce another playable character by invading his home.
Fuck your stupid narrative argument to excuse mediocrity. the way a game is structured and what it has to do with the narrative mean fuck all and rockstar proved it.
So please, stop releasing standard faire shooters that happen to have decent writing and story telling and using the latter as an excuse for it otherwise being average. And making it the reason why it should be considered a great. You know because writing should take priority over gameplay in a fucking video game.

You realize they'd hang around with alts anyway even if they weren't unbanned.
In fact the unbanning does the opposite of what you think. People retain their identity on a plac e because they have a reputation. This gives a main account more value because it is this persons alternate ego here. If you take that away and they have to make a new account then they become faceless once again. Yes only to a certain degree, they can make it clear who's alt it is (unless they've been straight up banished, then they hide)
So saying that, if there's a chance to regain your old identity at some point it leaves incentive for people to check their shit if they want to keep their account next time around.
Not saying it isn't flawed. But it does solve more problems than it causes
