I'd argue they just keep releasing weapons that are totally useless and even calling them "situational" is stretching it.
Churches in the UK should be forced to marry homosexual couples if they marry heterosexual couples by law.
Sometimes archaic and exclusionary ideals need to be thrown out.

I am fairly sure that shops aren't allowed to turn away customers because of ethnicity, disability or sexuality so why religion should be granted permission is beyond me.

You've gotta be a fuckwit to hold such a view, Christianity is against homosexuality. Marriage in churches is a Christian thing. It's like getting upset with a 'vegetarian shop' because they don't sell meat. They do their best not to sell meat. I know all christians pick and choose which parts of the bible they want to follow but this part is realy pushing it. Homosexual Christian marriage is almost an oxymoron.
It's fine to legally marry homosexuals, but not in a religious system that's totally against the thing.
And i'm not speaking as someone religious (Or a vegetarian)

This. Plus, the people who use the "they marry all hetero couples" argument are factually wrong. You don't see Christians performing marriages for Jews, or Jews performing marriages for Muslims. They discriminate against heterosexuals too. What, are you gonna pass a law that forces them to marry them too? If you want the church and state to be so separate, then why force them to marry people that they have no obligation to marry? Let them make that choice for themselves. Some will, some won't.

Every opinion is a Christian opinion because how vague and conflicting the bibles are.

But this isn't segregation. A homosexual person is allowed to get the exact same thing as everyone from the church, that is a marriage with someone of the opposite gender. I can't go to a church and marry with myself but that doesn't mean I'm being discriminated against, it's just that this is not what marriage is (in this church at least).
You're not asking for them to provide the same service to everyone, you're asking to change what the the service they're providing is.

Marriage happens to simultaneously be a civil and religious institution, you can be married one way or both ways and it is still nominally marriage but you only get the benefits if its a civilly recognised marriage. Gay marriage is arguing that marriage the civic act needs to be extended to homosexual couples because refusing them is discriminatory in a secular society. Marriage the religious act is regulated by the respective religion and it is utterly up to them who they want to marry. Forcing Churches to marry people against their religious or moral teachings is utterly ridiculous and quite frankly, disgusting.
That said, the flip side of religious institutions forcing society to maintain the status quo of no gay marriage is also disgusting.
I think the voting fetishism in America is silly. If you're uninformed and planning on voting just because everyone says you should, feel free to stay far away from the polling booth.
That said, being informed and voting is a good thing.
"epic" is so overused, it's like using "good" to describe something.

You're talking about a language which loves irregular verbs.

I have an extreme disliking for RTS games. There are so fucking many I can't even keep up with, and they all feel so intimidating when I play them, because everyone who plays them is some professional who plays it for money or something

GTA IV's cars handled much closer to real cars. I personally found it easier to drive on GTA IV without wrecking constantly and it's by far my favorite GTA for driving.

It's already been said, but IV's was just more realistic. Anybody who's driven a real car, hard, will tell you this.
In V all the cars are impossible to slide or drift due to the colossal grip (you could at least do weight transfer slides in IV), they have very little inertia and decelerate ridiculously quickly when releasing the go pedal. They also feel like they don't have any mass any more, making collisions far less satisfying and have less impact on gameplay. Also, the cars 'pop' up onto kerbs in an obviously scripted/artificial way.
The whole system has been watered down and streamlined to make it easier to learn and exploit, but useless to master. IV's system was hard-ish to learn, but once you got a feel for the physics you could find yourself hooning around the city like a loon, grinning from ear to ear as you execute a perfect slide or slot between some traffic just in time.
Sure, IV's handling still had many issues (too [I]little[/I] grip for most cars; acceleration disabled when cars are sliding so no drifting; brakes were all terrible; far too much body roll; cars have about 60% as much power as they should) but if you took the time to master it there was nothing else that would do. I spent more time playing GTA4 than I did Gran Turismo 5 because the car handling was just that much more fun than anything else I'd played - I explored every street, avenue and blind alley in the game because of it.
In V, after finishing the story, I don't feel like I have much else more to do because they've gutted the thing I used to enjoy the most.
They could easily have sorted the issues with IV's handling and transplanted it into GTA V (as I hoped they would) but instead they left us with this unappealing mess.

Not even realistic by a margin. The amount of body roll on some cars is insane, plus there's virtually no grip at all. Even that, I don't give a fuck about realism in my damn video games. Rockstar shouldn't have been such tryhards when they released IV.

This, I agree on though. But I've sincerely had more fun with V than I've ever had with IV.

That comparison is rather invalid. Vegetarian shops turn away customers asking for meat because only the opinion of the customer is in disagreement with the shop's views.
Churches turn away homosexual couples, not because they think they are gay, but because they were born that way.
Not only that, religious figures in a community have a duty to uphold moral values (such as the acceptance of gay men and women) and lead their followers into being somewhat better people. If they can be allowed to refuse a homosexual couple's marriage with no consequence, what does that preach to the devout in their neighbourhood?
The vegetarian shop owner is not a community leader because they own a veggie shop, and they do not sell meat to people of any age, disability, ethnicity or class. Their service is offered universally. The non sale of meat is also universal.
