You guys only have yourselves to blame. Blue posted last week that there was going to be a push back against this sort of off-topic, political/religion derailing that has becoming more and more common around here which is pissing off the site regulars. Acting like it's a restriction of your personal freedoms is absurd, you just want to post some personal grievances and get attention.

Also freedom of expression doesn't pertain to a privately owned website though I would note that Blue is exceptionally lenient in this regard and you do not give him credit for even half of the shit you would not get away with anywhere else (which is why some of you are here). If you had posted this kind of shit on SA anywhere but the Debate Forum I would have banned the lot of you and most other sites follow the same rules

I'm curious how when I looked at this this morning, they needed probably about 200k of their 2 million goal, and had approximately 11,000 backers... and somehow in the course of the business day, they gained 300k and nearly 2000 backers. Percentage-wise, I don't think I've seen a Kickstarter hit those numbers at the end of the campaign.

A typing game? It took him 48 hours to make a typing game? Whatever.

The game is very much like the first one except with a more open world feel. You really should read up on the plot of the first game and go through the tutorial/prologue in order to understand wtf is going on.

I remember something about stealing babies..

Legalizing booze brought down the gangs or at least forced them to shift to other illegal ventures it allowed the government to get a grip on a huge problem.

That doesn't happen in a vacuum, though. The congressmen can describe the "gateway drug" theory as a red herring, but it's a genuine effect. When the Netherlands legalized soft drugs, the use of hardcore drugs went up considerably, and with that came the Russian and (former) Yugoslavian maffia that for awhile controlled basically the entire hardcore drug market. And they were the kind of hardcore criminals that you normally only see in movies, and which the Dutch police and investigators were wholly unprepared to deal with.

Wikipedia a 'force of good'? Are you kidding me? Aside from entertainment and tech information when you get to real hard data like science, religion, history, etc it's nothing but a bunch of arm chair (insert title here) pretending to know more then they do being a 'expert' on a topic they never studied in school or in many cases read a book on. No surprise one of the founders seeing the inherit flow of pedia founded his own site with only qualified experts of a field can edit a article of that topic. THAT makes a lot more sense to me then what you get with pedia. Edit wars (2 idiots on the same topic trying to be 'right') and more times then not someone trying to put forward their own ideals, morals, world view in a alleged bias free site. See most religion topics for a prime example. In most non-xian pages they talk about said religious stories in the context of fictional myth, but go to the xian pages and there is a slant towards it being more 'real', historical. I never use pedia for anything more then getting fluff info like getting a movie synopsis.

I've been thinking about getting PA myself but wasnt sure if it was stable enough and had enough features to make it worth playing now rather then just waiting for release. Your analysis is temping me.

As for this Orion shiz, i'll be staying far away and hope people who already bought it get compensated in some way (new game/refund whatever)

What pattern? Are you suggesting that this is all part of some far-reaching conspiracy?

I think he just meant the pattern of passing unpopular legislation while the nation is distracted. I don't know if that's necessarily on purpose or not but it does happen.

Are you kidding? They'll just now pass whatever right in front of us. They figured out a smokescreen isn't even needed any more.

Hah! Saw you playing PA the other night, Seph. How is it creating the shower gang-rape gameplay?
