[QUOTE=NoaJM;43767248]Alarms didn't really set off for me until Arin and Danny played Family Feud, even though it had been played way way way way earlier with Jon. Arin seemed to act like it was his first time playing, no callbacks or references. Something really really really bad must have happened between them.[/QUOTE]
also, and I'm not usually a conspiracy nut, when they posted all the pictures of Arin's wedding Jon wasn't there. I get the whole 'not mentioning Jon to avoid a shitstorm' but the fact he didn't go to his wedding seems weird

To be fair, Jon did move across the entire country to New York. Mainland US is huge.

Singleplayer games are amazing and I prefer them over multiplayer games. Somehow it is really satisfying to play a singleplayer game by myself. I don't have to think about some other dudes or need to get a group going on in order to play. Unfortunately a lot of game emphasize on multiplayer and singleplayer is often neglected.
Developers need to focus on singleplayer that is more dynamic and not as stale as in most games. Give us more interactive world with dynamic stuff.
Free will doesn't exist and nobody can really be held accountable for the things that they do because everything they are is no more than a combination of environment and genetics. Applies even to the most heinous of people.

You're mixing two different ideologies really strangely. Yes, it's likely free will is an illusion, but that shouldn't affect how we run the world. You can't apply your belief there to the large scale, although you can try to personally on the small scale (to get yourself to help people out more often).

Combination of environement and genetics? Both are absolute antagonism. Environement vs genetics is a heavily studied and debated psychology field. Both directly contradict eachother like your post.

Actually they dont, they go hand in hand. You're thinking of nature vs nurture probably. And the answer to that debate is that they work together in a sense. They are interwoven.
its disgusting how much hate Justin Bieber and similar celebrities get. Good lord, its like a fucking crusade over a 18 year old that sings pop music. They give them soo much relevance and every little thing they do makes people rant or take stupid decisions. Even that amazing atheist guy gives him a fuck ton of coverage. What in the hell.
Dont get me wrong, i see why you can call them assholes or stupid people, but just because you get bombed with news about all they do, it doesnt mean they are the epiphany of a bad role model. I assure you, there are way more relevant assholes that should get more coverage about what they do, and a hell of a lot more reasons to rant about them and actually do something.
In the end, hes just a temporal teen pop idol, with immaturity and great power.

I retort that this has no effect on anything, especially not the judicial system.
"genetics and upbringing" have created a person who will be held responsible for their actions.
If it makes you feel any better you can think of it as pruning the environment and genetics tree.

What I initially meant is that there are two extreme psychology ground theories. One suggest that everything is influenced by the environement, the other one explains that everything is genetically predetermined.
The most plausible explanation is that both go hand in hand with eachother.

In that case fairness/equality is impossible. if that exact amount of environment/upbringing created anyone else, they couldn't possibly be any different than the last guy. And it just sucks for that guy who inadvertently likes to do everything society shuns. And you wind up getting this might makes right thing where people with the power make the rules (the guy that does the pruning on the environment & genetics tree). And just from that, one can derive "there is no good or evil" which can easily be used to justify thought/actions that were once considered "wrong" by the majority.

I don't know the name of any idol or star until they fuck up enough to make the headlines of nearly every newspaper.
Fairness/equality are both impossible without free will. Right off the bat you have had a life unfairly traced for you.
If you had a life of a murderer chosen for you, is it not the goal of the born detective to find you, the born judge to try you and the born prison guard to watch over you as you slowly die in a system made for your kind?
Allowing your pre-traced life to end actual useful pre-traced lives would slow down the everlasting quest to make pre-traced lives more comfortable.
As another example: viruses have no free will and are a product of their environment. We still hold them accountable for their actions and try our best to eradicate them.

Absolutely true (imo). I find it hilarious that the icon of the judicial system, the blindfolded "Lady Justice" representing fairness and order equality or whatever bs , which is what the judicial system stands for, is just as fictional as the roman goddess herself. Also you can never eradicate a virus, once you have one its there until you die. It may become dormant or something but it will remain. Knowing that it just sucks to be held responsible for things beyond your control, what is the problem with racism or homophobia for example? Technically nothing.
Therefore you can agree that people should be judged for their actions despite having a roundabout way of thinking of it, correct?
[QUOTE=legolover122;43767562]Warframe blows chunks. Me and my friend downloaded it and teamed up and did the first few missions and it's just piss easy.

You were doing something wrong by not going to challenging systems.
[QUOTE=01271;43769403]Therefore you can agree that people should be judged for their actions despite having a roundabout way of thinking of it, correct?[/QUOTE]
Well by the logic we have exchanged yes. one is responsible for things that are beyond them, like viruses. And it is in the best interest of who ever is in charge to either eradicate them or let em be. Now knowing this, it is the duty of whoever is in charge to prune the environment/genetics tree in the way that he sees fit, whether it is beneficial or hurtful (meaningless terms) to the world as a whole. I like this.
I hate games where your character is innacurate as fuck unless there's a REALLY good reason for it.
I don't know, just hate it when I point perfectly at an enemy's head and then bullets go everywhere

No man, don't you get it. It's ~realism~, no one could shoot a gun accurately unless they killed an arbitrary number of people man. Everyone knows bullets don't go where the gun is pointed, they go to different places depending on a person's skill.
After working retail for half a year, I'll finally say it at the risk of a ban:
The majority of black people are obnoxious, annoying, and genuinely terrible people.
Rip me apart.

That's funny because when I was a cashier at Wal-mart I found that white people were the horrible ones. There was this one black guy who came in on like a daily basis who was a little out there and such but he was actually a pretty cool guy, really nice. On the flip side about half the white people who came through my line were complete assholes for no reason other than apparently having a bad day.
Valve should experiment with asymmetrical team headcounts as a means of balancing stacked teams in TF2. (Have the higher skilled team have fewer people, while the lower skilled team have their inexistent skill offset by numbers)
I liked Star Trek: Enterprise a lot more than than Star Trek: The Next Generation.
I think people give the Xbox One too much hate, I don't have PS4 or Xbox One, but they both seem to have their own + and - and both are really good consoles.

if you said you didn't like the black people in your area, that'd have still been a little ehh but a little more acceptable
if you said you didn't like the "black culture" in the US and how african americans are pressured into acting in a certain obnoxious and annoying way, that'd have been fine
but no you just chose to go full retard and judge an entire ethnic group based on their skin color. disgusting.
His problem is that he works in Retail.
Pretty much everyone you deal with in Retail is like that.
i think homosexuality, in a lot of cases, is a developed affiliation that happens through the life of someone, for different reasons, and that it can be a choice for lots of people.
But i dont see any wrong with that.
[QUOTE=usaokay;43774086]Also, I think if you look past all of the problems with Battlefield 4, it's a great multiplayer game. They could have done a lot better on the single-player though.[/QUOTE]
Yeah no shit that if you ignore all the problems it's a good game, that goes for everything
