I always play female if the option is there no matter the game. Why play the gender you are in reality just out of habbit? Plus if I'm gonna spend 40+ hours watching the back side of a 3rd person humanoid avatar infront of me I'd rather watch a woman kicking ass and taking names.

I've always concidered Fox News to be kind of "infotainment" or "disinfotainment". And not really news at all. It's a good laugh at first, then it's depressing cause you realise lots of people get their world view from it.

Good for you. Pregnancy is a social construct. Make those "pregnant" women stand so they know you trust them to give birth the same way you would any man. It's an urgent matter of equality and respect that has been far too long in coming.
Word. Just to clarify, I was being facetious. I give up my seat for a little old lady or a pregnant woman with a sore back every time. I'd give up my seat for an old man or a guy carrying a kid too. The concept of chivalry is kind of odd to me. It's kind of like, you should treat anyone like that not just women. It's being polite. But I find it even more odd that people would take offence at chivalry being some kind of "benign sexism".

Good thing when I see a little old lady standing on the tube and I'm sitting, I don't get up. No. Granny can stand. And if she isn't out of my way when I need to get off ima gonna shove past her no matter. Might even drop the shoulder too if she's scowling at me (cause of the seat thing). I'm a feminist you see.

Kurgan just dropped a knowledge-bomb that's what happened.

Also parents "freaking out about little Johnny" these days is cause you can't turn on the news without hearing about peadophiles, murderers and local crime stories. Parents watch a lot of "news" too. In fact, if I were to accept the world view that the BBC presents me there are peadophiles and terrorists and Muslim extremists hiding in every bush.
Back in the day, I don't think there was so much danger-hype media. You could go out all day as a kid unsupervised in bare feet and your parents wouldn't bat an eyelid. But now we have peadophiles.

I know you're kidding, Odine, but Chihuahuas can make great service animals for certain people. I know there are some who fake it and claim their therapy or comfort animal (or simply their pet) is a "service animal," but Chihuahuas and other smaller breeds can be great when it comes to sensing allergens for people who go into anaphylactic or as medical alert dogs, especially if those people live in apartments or other smaller spaces.
Yeahhhh...... See.... Allergens are easy to avoid if one is diligent enough. My best friend and ex housemate is deathly allergic to most nuts, severely allergic to eggs and dairy, and less so to a multitude of other things. He has only needed to use an epi-pen once in the 8 years that I've known him. No medical alert dog needed.
I take your point.. Sure some people could use a chihuahua to their advantage I suppose. But if you need a dog like that to warn you about the deadly contents of your microwave dinner you're neglegantly about to dive into perhaps you'd asking for it? I mean a little diligence is paramount to survival if one is anaphylactic. Don't think I would personally trust a little yappy rat to safeguard me.
But kind of irrelevant.. The woman in question in the OP is an idiot.

I saw blue and gold. The bottom part of the dress the gold was closer to back. When you compare the gold of the foreground dress to the black of the dress in the background the colours are very similar. That said how we see colour is complicated.

Hrmm funny article. Every old person (ww2 generation) I've met sure can handle their booze and enjoy a great shindig. Maybe the reason for that is during war time any time you get to celebrate life you make the absolute most of it. In saying that, I think my generation (born in the early 80's) have some of the most debauched and intoxicated shin digs known to man. Having said that.. Im sure every generation thinks that.
-
Yeah fair points

The only service a chihuahua can provide is emotional boosts i.e constant hilarity(contempt) at the sight of their ridiculous appearance.
They'd make nice scarves though. (Not the bald Mexican ones though that'd just be silly)

Yeah it's a pretty jokes song. Not a gigantic Shonen Knife fan myself either but... Cute video... So Japanese

Alien 5's problems are video games being canon. That works for Alien Isolation, but it also means Colonial Marines is canon. http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/alien-5-has-problems-and-those-problems-are-video-games-813

Yeah I do have high hopes... but I wont be too disappointed if they are not met. As far as Bethesda goes each game they put out seems to be an improvement on the game just released before. They keep getting better. (aside from little quibbles people have that are taste matters). So yeah I hope fallout 4 is to the series what Skyrim was to the elder scrolls. But on the Next Gen level.

Shonen Knife: "Like a cat"

The Bethsoft versions of Fallout play like their Elder Scrolls games, but in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting for Earth. Less smooth as Skyrim, more clunky like Oblivion. The original Fallouts played very differently, but better being subjective of course.
bearing in mind Skyrim came out after both Fallouts Bethesda did, so learned from the mistakes and clunkiness.
-
Played the original fallout on pc back in 97 and every other fallout title since. Fallout 3 and Vegas were a little clunky as it was the first attempts really at turning dice rolling isometric turn based combat into first person and 3rd person. Im sure fallout 4 will be next level shit. Itll be Mad Max meets The Road meets Cyberpunk meets Red Dead Redemption. Hopefully they bring back some of the humor of the originals.. Fallout 3 and New Vegas lacked in that department.

Ooh it's like a visual metaphor for the state of the character wielding it.

Meh... She didn't articulate herself impeccibly backstage and now people are itching to to tear her a new ethical asshole. Crap pisses me off. It fucks me off when someone tries to do or say something nice, or bring an awareness to some issue or another and people piss on them cause they neglect all these other minorities. Or use incorrect labeling. Or incorrect groupings. WTF. With one oscar acceptance speech Patricia arquette has probably done more for women than what most pissed off Mommy, freedom, rights-and-justice bloggers have done in the entirety of their insignificant pissant lives.
Not that I care.
I mean, I get it. She's privileged, white and rich. She's probably vain and using her position to talk about something she doesn't know that much about. But she's no Bob ****ing Geldof at least.

^ not to be glib or anything but I think the suicide rate comes more from being treated like a freak or deviant and unaccepted your whole life by society (depending on where you live) than worrying about upsetting ones family.
On a side note, I read somewhere that the average life expectancy for a trans gender person is 30 something. If true that is fucked up.

All Bethesda's games have a solid narrative, Driver, they're just not linear. Gotta do heaps of shit to put the whole story together.
But I accept your winkey face and soft jibe at the greatest game developer of all time with a pinch of salt. What?

Aahh I see
Gentrification Comes to Capitol Hill
in The Lyceum
Posted
Ahhh gentrification. 2014 and 2015's word of the year for Londoners. Every local being priced out of their own homes and boroughs. Well, it's nice to not have dudes smoking crack outside the house but I can live without the cocktails being served in jam jars and the craft beer and burgers served on chopping boards. I mean, the food that comes with gentrification is nice and all.. But the twatlords that make up the new population replacing the old are always gonna be dicks no matter the situation.
