Bethesda sometimes gets a bit flowery in their descriptions [radiant AI, for example], but they're pretty upfront about what you're going to get in their games.

It was announced mid development that the feature was cut. There's no false advertising there.

The thing I don't get with Bioshock Infinite criticism or hate is the other two games are painfully average games propped up by the atmosphere and storytelling. Infinite is exactly in line with the rest of the series.

Bioshock 1 came out the same year as Crysis 1, STALKER, CoD 4. And years after FEAR and Half Life 2. Compared to any of those games mechanically or gameplay wise, Bioshock 1 is a very wet fart that verges on being diarrhea.

The gunplay of a 2002 game and map sizes from a PS1 game, that was Bioshock 1&2.

A presidency defined by extreme racial inequality, strife and internment as well as being based in a period of great technological expansion, which helped the country into a great period of expansion as well.

For me, it will be the era which defined the Democrats are succumbing to conservative-lite tactics of funneling money from powerful interests and becoming more war oriented and more lead by corporate malfeasance

Was Bill Clinton more conservative than Reagan? I need to look at more of their policies, but I think he was.

Bill Clinton long-term effects had bad effects on our economy, so I'm not a fan of his even though he's one of the most charming president we ever had.

You should actually listen to what he said. He said his friend was saying the lesser of two evils, and he responded that even if they're the lesser of two evils, they're still evil. That's what an illuminati brother says right before he talks about not voting. His words matter, you saying they don't, doesn't change his influence on young black America.

Well, you seem a bit put out by the fact that people are criticizing him for making false and glib statements.

Also, could you please tell me why you think he's a revolutionary (other than the t-shirts) rather than someone protesting one particular issue. I have googled for examples him advocating for the replacement of capitalism or overthrowing the government and come up empty, but I may have missed this.

This is pretty much detractors only issue right now. He can do everything he wants, but he appears disingenuous about his cause when the presidential candidate is leaning openly without code words on his issue, and he calls them evil. The president can't even enact change on a state by state basis, but can put into place the necessary funds and tools needed to reach those goals. Him showing he's not aware of this is what's frustrating. And by saying they're both evil, he's validating right wing strategies of shutting down the government to spite obama to suppress voter turnout, because they think their vote doesn't matter.

Hillary should invite him for a private talk and ask what he wants done.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I caught up with a friend a few weeks ago(via text) and we were chatting it up. She brings up how she's not political, but both candidates suck. and shows me a meme with Bill Clinton in it. It says "I chose other women over Hillary, you should to." and she said it was hilarious. Later goes on to say that "this is the most interested she's been in elections." And called Hillary a sneaky liar and trump a joke.

So I type this long ass message about how I've been following Hillary for as long as i can remember, and she's nothing near trumps level of grossness. In fact to me not even close. And how her policies reflect what i'm looking for in a candidate. I'm paraphrasing here, and no reply back.

She texted me back a month later, and talked about how Hillary is a liar because she got caught, and sent me a ton more Bill Clinton memes. I mention a slew of other politicians that have done worse(than Hillary ever has), and how its hypocritical to just lump her as the 'sneaky liar.' She hasn't texted/or facebooked me back since September 17th. To be honest I'm not worried about it, but do you guys think this friendship is over? So we're clear I have no problem with having friends in any political party.

we live in a time where an argument torpedoing fallacy has been made of "both sides". as in trying to look at both sides of an issue or represent a belief that you don't necessarily back 100% in order to gain empathy or clarify the opposing position.

Now I pray they just go back to nerd shit.

The harmless nerds got ran off when they were told that apathy means they are on the side of the oppressor.  People who just want to talk about games left years ago as a result.

[agrajag]

But on the real, eating ice cream with a fork is less than ideal. Unless you eat ice cream extremely quick (what's the point of speed eating ice cream, enjoy it), there will inevitably be a small pool of delicious melted ice cream on the bottom. The fork cannot catch the melted ice cream. What are you going to do, slurp it like a savage?
