That was pretty funny.

I mean, no matter your political stance people should be able to see humor coming from anywhere.

This speech/comedy speech is priceless. And it had a lot to do with what happened during the previous speech, so it was pretty spontaneous.

lol and that's a 2017 game

think about it

2017

in the year 2017

i can't

It's not the fact of the year itself, it's the fact it's an iconic IP created by Nintendo and developed by Nintendo. It hurts to see a product that even an indie studio would try to go for, in many levels.

And what's your issue with my assessment of Crowder? He's silly stuff, but it works at times.

I mean, no matter your political stance people should be able to see humor coming from anywhere.

If you guys want to make this point, don't hold up fucking Crowder as your shining example. 

[benjipwns]

Whatever we do let's just kerp pretending that the popularity of overt White Supremacy isn't an attractive selling point.

Nope it's all Clinton... she's the worst ever.

Russia, Media, FBI no factor. Clinton is just the worst ever...

Man I acknowledge she made mistakes can you acknowledge that doesn't make her the worst ever?

Anything to keep white folk from being held responsible eh?

this is funnier than steven crowder's "set"

Learn to read. I said his silliness works sometimes. I didn't say he was a shining example. I just said that he makes me laugh sometimes.

[VomKriege]

I think it's half and half. I think it's important for the media and especially people who have an audience (a lot of the late shows audience is old people) why things Trump is doing is bad. At same time they shouldn't make it an echo chamber.

Oh I have no issues with comedians going after Trump, quite the contrary. It's just that you often read on GAF people overestimating their importance, both in influence and status (despite all those comedy anchors all saying out loud that they are not journalists).

I didn't advocate him like the return of a Messiah. That SJW mindset speech was spot on. I'm sorry you don't like it as much as I do?

[Let's Cyber]

Hey, you're allowed to like whatever you want. Just understand he wouldn't have much appeal outside of his established base and the "humor" in that clip comes from seeing someone stick it to the "SJWs", not from jokes or his delivery.   

[benjipwns]

Milo and Hoff Sommers were the ones being heckled and interrupted earlier and they responded funnier than the comedian who went off on a rant insulting people and sat down angry.

His sidekick on Louder with Crowder is funnier than he is. And he's absolutely terrible at taking criticism. He used to be on Red Eye, back when the then not so famous Amy Schumer also was, and she'd constantly get him upset.

[daemon]

That established base is called target audience. I didn't know Crowder until that video.


I personally believe his delivery is good for the most part, aside from a few body language tibdits. Calling trigglypuff wild boar and then grabbing his own flabbiness saying he's got a fat pass is improvisation, and many actual standup comedy artists really can flop without a solid script. But that's my opinion of course.

[benjipwns]

lol here's exactly the episode I most remember:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv1tRbHWIds#t=6m54s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFRve9vYfd8

Greg's a way better conservative to hold up for also doing comedy. Also any kind of commentary. Or a table.

[etiolate]

Crowder wasn't doing comedy there. He got Amy to get upset and prove his point that abstinence is a taboo. He just wants to poke the anti-Christian bear in any way. Also, his hairdo there is awful.

BUT THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT

What is important is that we found out benji's trigger word is Stephen Crowder.

I thought it would be Milo or Karen Straughn that would drive you all nuts, but it's fucking tame ass Stephen Crowder.

Was Fallout 4 truly a worse Bethesda game, or did the industry leave Bethesda behind?

Had Fallout 4 come out just after Skyrim, would we hate it so much? Is it any more flawed than the existing Bethesda hits? Or did games improve and clean house in certain ways that Bethesda wasn't prepared for, and thus our modern tastes just couldn't even pretend to be interested in the stagnant design and tech at Bethesda?

The answer is both. Boy does Fallout 4 suck. Skyrim is aging but damn is that remaster a blast and selling beautifully because the game is so good in terms of high freedom and customization. Skyrim is one of the best received games of all time and it deserved it.

You know what, let me lean toward thinking Fallout 4 just sucks. The world has no iconic landmarks like the other Fallout games (sorry Boston GAF) and that dialogue was horrendous. And yes, the PBR made the game look like 3D printing. I honestly regret playing Fallout 4 despite some occasional redeeming atmosphere in some of the forests. It just doesn't have the cultural charm that the last gen Fallout games had at all, and the world feels so bland.

It seems Bethesda is aware we think the dialogue system was bullshit and that it's huge bullshit one of the most money-making studios in gaming history is clearly not investing it in getting away from Gamebryo, so here's to whatever their next project is that they've confirmed won't be Elder Scrolls or Fallout for a change.

Bethesda game games have run their course. They just aren't impressive anymore.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=226650473&postcount=46

Their reluctance to meet the standards of their peers despite their tremendous success and growth is why Fallout 4 is bad.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=226651473&postcount=91

It's tragically clear that Fallout 4 is a contender for Worst Technology on Display in a AAA game. It is also narratively light and full of tedious new mechanical issues. There's been a lot of good open world games post-Skyrim (and you can actually thank Skyrim in part for that trend).

I don't know why they're even bothering to release BOTW after The Witcher 3 came out.

I'll be impressed if BotW is even half as good an open world game as FFXV, trying to judge it against the Witcher 3 is just unfair.

i wonder what that guys position on guns is. probably thinks there's a fascist threat but is anti-gun. thinking about it, having distrust in government and fascists but being anti-gun is pretty illogical. Especially since one of the first things fascists take are guns away from the populace.

[VomKriege]

The GAF Strategy Think Tank is brainstorming :

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1325609

yeah..

i wonder, how could you beat Russia in a real, all-out war? they have countless nukes.. you can't win against them, all they have to do is threaten to level out Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn and a few other European cities and then you'd either have to be crazy and suicidal enough to call their bluff, or just give up and let them win the war.

while i don't seriously believe Putin would drop nukes on several European cities, i think he could threaten to do it, if Russia was in a really bad shape and was fighting several unwinnable conventional wars at the same time. if they were truly backed into a corner, they might start showing clear signs that their nuke arsenal isn't just for show..

Invading a NATO state means world war.

If this pops off and they get aggressive in the Balkans, the only thing we can do is pray it only leads to conventional warfare and nobody pushes the big red button.

Sweden is not in NATO.
Also he probably meant "Baltic" there, I guess ?

I just...don't understand what Russia hopes to gain here
Like what is the motivation other than dick waving? Seizing economic hubs to boost Russia's GDP? Does Sweden have oil? What do they want?

Nowhere in the OP or the article is Russia saying they are considering a conventional attack on Sweden.

I mean, come January 20, tanks are free to start rolling.

 

Remember, Russia once invaded Finland which, even though they "won", was a bit embarrassing for them (and inspired much of Valkyria Chronicles).

I'm something of a pacifist and have resolved to never hold a gun in my life if I can help it.

[Cindi Mayweather]

well that's you, but this guy writes "the fascists will kill us" and is probably anti-gun. I wonder what his gun stance is. If he truly thinks the fascists will kill us all, he would probably have a gun or two. If he doesn't, then he A. actually believes that and is hoping someone else fights for him, B. thinks he can beat fascists with his words and love, or C. is full of shit and trolling.

[Cindi Mayweather]

In general, I'm curious how the anti-gun stance of liberals changes. They claim there's an existential threat but are anti-gun so they have no means for protection. But they place trust in the very government institutions that they criticize as not being reliable, as opposed to arming themselves, for protection. Curious to see how gun stances change at GAF. How many will continue to have wool over their eyes and how many will have their eyes opened and buy a gun like yours truly?

[Steve Contra]

Protection from what exactly? Real question, what do you think owning a gun is going to protect you from Government wise?

[Great Rumbler]

I'm a white guy living in white cac gun country, but I don't own a gun and don't want to own a gun. Probably not gonna change.

[Cindi Mayweather]

Protection from what exactly? Real question, what do you think owning a gun is going to protect you from Government wise?

If he thinks the "fascists" will come kill them like he said, he wouldn't trust the government, period. That's my argument, and that includes all sectors of government including police. If he finds the Trump government to be as much of an existential threat as he says, he will have bought himself a gun, much like myself.

That massive contradiction, I'm curious to see how it evolves on gaf. How genuine are they?

I'm a white guy living in white cac gun country, but I don't own a gun and don't want to own a gun. Probably not gonna change.

You're white; he's black. You don't face an existential threat unless you're lgbt, disabled, or a woman. If only I weren't banned I would ask him plainly.

[Atramental]

[Cindi Mayweather]

Really hoping to see how liberals fight back against the anti-gun democratic party in response to the election. People going from anti-gun to pro-gun after the election? I know I'm not the only one.

[Tasty]

You're starting to sound like a conspiracy nut himu, no offense.

[Cindi Mayweather]

How so?

You know what? It's obvious he doesn't have a gun. He wouldn't be in that mind set of "fascists will kill us" if he did because he'd have power to defend  against them and would be secure in his safety. Whoever "they" are. So it's probably C.

[Steve Contra]

You can think fascists are coming to kill you and have no hope that owning a personal firearm is going to do you any good.  It's not contradictory.

[Great Rumbler]

I just really don't see how the other 50% or so of America arming themselves is really going to fix any of the problems we have right now.

[headwalk]

fight a life or death post apocalyptic struggle with your neighbours or just move to some country where you'd have a better quality of life anyway and spend your days wanking and eating stroopwafels.

[Cindi Mayweather]

I just really don't see how the other 50% or so of America arming themselves is really going to fix any of the problems we have right now.

Maybe, but it seems stupid to me.

Liberals fearing a more militarized police but thinking only police or military should be able to bear arms definitely *is* contradictory though, and ties into that argument.

Unrelated...

'm not even talking about just GAF. I'm talking in general. College campuses, churches, workplaces, forums, comment sections, anywhere people gather, there are insidious assholes who use our tactic of encouraging inclusiveness to secure a spot for themselves at the table, ensuring that we don't use their tactics of exclusion against them. They cling to some imaginary moral highground wherein they can continue finger wagging at anybody who dares to call out the sheer stupidity and hypocrisy of asking for tolerance of intolerance.

These people are virulent, poisonous, infectious, and they need to be excised immediately. A man like Milo is a parasite who only exists to spread disease, and anyone playing host to him is a fucking idiot and should be treated as a leper.

You know what? I've gotta say that this argument is poor, in hind sight. I say hind sight because I would have agreed with it a short time ago.

Let Milo speak. And then grill him alive. Hiding from things you disagree with it just aids a more divided political environment. Listen to what he says, then dismantle it. Listening to what he says doesn't mean you're giving it credibility. It's pretty clear the whole "let's close our eyes and ears" thing doesn't work. These people have been emboldened and ignoring them won't make them go away. The problem with having not letting Milo speak is that it runs on a presumption that we are right without being challenged. Of course, Breitbart and their ilk are trash, but if we truly believed in how we feel, we would debate it. Malcolm X and MLK argued for their POV's regularly on television. The idea that you can't argue with Milo makes it feel like our arguments are philosophically weak and will not stand to scrutiny. It is weakness defined.

Then it's like believing in/accepting global warming but still constantly buy electronics, use cars that consume fossil energies and pretty much not recycle everything you can. Because since as an individual you can't do anything, you might as well not contribute.

Britain and Europe are increasing a surveillance state. But guns are bad and people shouldn't be allowed to have guns. Let's continue to place our trust in government while they continue a surveillance state but they're the only ones who should be allowed to have guns. It's stupidity.

In some ironical twist, this election's aftermath has made me more patriotic. Unlike in Europe, I have the freedom to buy a gun.
