Established in 2011 by David Viselka and Fahed Jaradat, MP1st’s focus on multiplayer quickly allowed it to carve its own niche among the litter of gaming sites on the internet.

Fast forward to today, and MP1st is still fragging, dominating and taking names! With the acquisition of the MP1st brand by gaming media veterans, Alex Co and Mack Ashworth, and uniting it with the Pixel Enemy brand that has been around since 2010, MP1st is expected to be the #1 source when it comes to multiplayer gaming news, reviews, features, videos and more!

Of course, multiplayer gaming can’t be accomplished without enemies to frag, or teammates to play with; and this is the heart of MP1st: camaraderie, competitiveness, community spirit and sense of togetherness. Regardless if you’re a shooter fan, someone who’s been playing fighting games since the ’90s, or a MOBA freak; as long as you enjoy playing with others, MP1st is the perfect destination for you.

Multiplayer gaming is here to stay and is already a big part of most peoples’ lives. If it’s something you’re as passionate about as we are, you’ve come to the right place.

"omg the American campaign is just a bunch of ship based combat for the first half"

[benjipwns]

"why would you ever land in Northern France after fighting up the Italian Peninsula? who wrote the script for this shit?!?"

[benjipwns]

"I bet there isn't even a final mission in the Japan campaign, probably just ends after two fancy cutscenes."

[benjipwns]

Call of Duty 2 actually kinda has that ending. You do a terrible, easy mission where you take out a tank and then it shows a cutscene where everyone goes "war is over! we're going home!" and CREDITS.

Make it a federal law for children to be vaccinated. Charge parents with a crime if they refuse and fine each family 5 thousand dollars every 30 days past any given deadline. After a certain amount of time passes and parents still refuse, social services gets involved.

I would have thought social services would get involved after the parents go to jail for the many thousands of dollars in fines.

PoliERA handicaps who should respond to Trump's proposed immigration speech, breaks down the policy details:

Pelosi's the most powerful Democrat in the country. She should be the one.

With a good script she'll be fine.

AOC should deliver the response. Light them up

Actually, if the goal is to piss of Trump, I don't think AOC has personally gotten under his skin yet.

If Pelosi's not the one, Auntie Maxine.

Let Obama do it.

that would be lit af

Have clinton do it: "you couldn't get up and vote for me, huh?"

I think [AOC] too. Capitalize on that rising star.

I would think it's gotta be Pelosi

With Beto (because El Paso is on the border

give the dem response to BETO

I mean, he has been hanging out at the border a lot. But i feel it will go with the people actually in positions like Pelosi or something. Maybe it will be both Pelosi and Schumer.

[Pelosi] With AOC one of the crew behind her. BOOM instant ratings bigger than Individual One's EXTREEM Depends Challenge

Oh yeah they should invite the all-star team to stand behind them even if only one or two people speak.

passive aggressive flare up in PoliERA:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

So he is ordering the IRS to do what he wants, it seems we've forgotten the muslim ban actually is in effect right now, no one really seems to be doing anything about child internment camps, and now all signs point to a falsified national emergency. Seems like the SC will support whatever he wants to do on the southern border and it won't actually take that long to get there either. Cpb and tsa already did what he asked them to when it was and still is on dubious legal grounds. Seems like the irs is happy to as well. You think the military won't?

We currently have a much-weakened version of the Muslim ban that only passed muster in the courts after three revolutions of the merry-go-round. Shitty, yes, but nowhere near as bad as it could've been.

The camps are closing as the children have begun being placed with sponsors here. The tent city in Texas has literally ~two weeks left before it closes because the company will be moving on due to lack of occupants. That happened partly because of protest and pressure.

A national emergency is a specifically defined bureaucratic process that (1) doesn't give him all-encompassing powers and (2) can be overruled by the courts or Congress.

Can you really look at the 3-4 articles published today saying they have no plan and conclude this is some masterful strategy?

The muslim ban still caused tremendous chaos.

Also, do you have newer numbers than December 13 when 15,000 children were detained?

https://www.npr.org/2018/12/13/6763...ant-children-now-held-at-nearly-full-shelters

If he does declare a national emergency or close border points tomorrow, it will again cause massive chaos. Yes, the courts will eventually limit said chaos, but arguably you're being irrationally dismissive of the muslim ban, ordering around the irs, and unless your can show me the children in detention has shrunk from 15,000 to almost nothing as you claim in a few weeks, deceptive. An 8 year old died less than 2 weeks ago.

And I never said there's a masterful strategy. He's a Russian asset. He tweets out Russian policy in broad daylight. He's here to create chaos. You don't need a masterful strategy to create chaos.

I said individual camps, such as the tent city in Texas, have begun closing as the children are placed with sponsors:

Click to expand...Though it's about the Texas shelter, it says that over 2000 children have been released nationwide and placed with sponsors in the last few weeks. The number of children in custody is still too high because it's more than one. The fact it happened is a blight on this country, as are the deaths of the children you name.

I'm objecting to your claim that they've just gotten away with everything. No, there has been pushback and mitigation and litigation and avoidance of what could've been. The fact that it's still bad is evidence we need him gone, but this idea that everything's just gone unchecked, hunky-dory for them is wrong.

You said "the camps" and to me it seems like you intentionally painted a picture of general progress with the internment camps when that clearly isn't the case by all media accounts. In fact, with this shut down, refugee applications are completely hampered. I never made the claim they've gotten away with everything. I'm just saying it seems like there's a lot of hand waiving going on in here at the prospect of a national emergency. It has the potential to be a complete fucking disaster, just like the Muslim ban was and is, just like the current state of refugee applications was and is, and just like him even being able to declare a national emergency in the first place with the courts left to deal with it over a period of months, and likely with the SC supporting a good deal of it down the line.

Yes, and I provided you an article that says the camps - plural - have been releasing children, especially in the one closest to the border. Is it fast enough? No. Should it have happened? No. But they cannot keep them indefinitely, and there has been general progress. I'm not sure why you think I attempted to mislead you. I made a claim and cited an article that supports my claim and used that article to show, no, they haven't been unchecked or unopposed on their heinous actions and that opposition has had results.

I'll take your word for it though that you weren't trying to mislead. You first posted without a source saying the camps were closing and it read like a pretty rosy picture.

I really don't care whether you take my word or ship it back in a pine box, frankly.

So no one is stopping me from sharing my views but that allows you to just be rude, saying "sorry you're so desperate for company" and basically telling to fuck off even though I said I believe you weren't trying to mislead. Ok.

You can agree or disagree with whomever for whatever reason. Do you. I typically do not react well to people who accuse me of misrepresenting or minimizing innocent children being placed in camps or people being barred from this country for flimsy "national security" reasons. I'm fully aware of this administration's actions and try to view them soberly and on a factual basis so I can best respond to them. I merely wanted to show you that while yes, it's bad, it has not gone unchecked and the administration has not gotten away with everything - an argument pertinent to whatever he'll do or say tomorrow night.

If you feel I've been unnecessarily hostile, you have both an ignore button and a report button.

I wish you a pleasant evening. PM if you have more.

Is that supposed to be reassuring? The method is madness. Y'all don't seem to see how simple it is.

So what are you doing about it.

I'm an organizer, I volunteer, and I don't try and normalize or shrug off as "just an idiot/clown" what's happening talking with people irl or online. You?

I go to work every day for a non-profit that fights for minority voting rights.

See, another thing, downgrading the EU diplomatic mission. The state department itself is a shell. A lot of institutions are shells of what they were. You can say that's by chance or incompetence, but I wouldn't be so sure. Its all obviously a Russian plot if you ask me. Maybe Russia only thinks they can get away with a 4 or 8 year diversion. You think they wouldn't try for more though?

And no, this isn't a conspiracy theory. There is enough evidence to be pretty certain the president of the United States is currently a Russian asset.

I'm getting sick and tired of this stuff infesting our video games. Look, I don't care if you're gay, straight, bi, he, she, they, them whatever, it doesn't matter. I'm tired of games thinking that characters need sexual representation or that people need to know their orientation, gender or biological makeup.

Do I know what Master Chief's gender identity or sexual preference is? No, and I don't care because it doesn't matter. Do I know if Lara Croft is a lesbian or not? No, and I don't care because it doesn't matter. Do I know whether or not Princess Daisy is a female or a trans-woman? No, and I don't care because it doesn't matter.

These are video game characters, I don't need to be clued into what they have between their legs, what they believe themselves to be or who they have sex with. This shitty political agenda trying to brute force ideals onto the populous of gamers through games is reaching a breaking point, someone needs to put an end to this crap.

https://www.neogaf.com/threads/overwatch-adds-another-lgbtq-charcter.1470731/page-2#post-253699159

Why don't we flip it around and pretend that the norm was for video game characters to be gay. Would you then enjoy having a few straight characters here and there? I know I would.

The whole "felt inside that she was really a hot goth woman" thing is literally rhetoric I've seen people use against trans people to delegitimize our identities. Where people act like people can feel like anything and identify as anything because it's all the same level of ridiculous to them.

Anywhere Europeans lived on earth, their IQ's never matched the natives. It always remained the same as if they were still in Europe.


While environment is always a factor, genetics has constantly shown that patterns exclusively exist on racial lines.





By the way, it's interesting that Asians represent the highest U.S incomes, despite upper management being mostly White.



However, they still represent the majority of tech jobs.

You sound like the alt-right type that wants Elsa's girlfriend to be a black disabled trans lesbian, rather than her having four girlfriends, one who is black, one who is disabled, one who is trans and one who is lesbian. We see you trying to minimize representation.
