The MacWorld article ("Wi-Fi Assist") has an annoying autoplay video.

What ever happened to "Everquest Next"? Did that go into eternal vaporware status?

So much hate comments in every article here... You know hate leads to suffering, and then the Dark Side, right?

I don't think EA is hiring right now.

Ziiiing!

Post arguing for separation of church and state gets pulled by Facebook.

Plenty of posts get pulled from Facebook daily, on both sides of the political spectrum, and there's no rhyme or reason to it. This is a non-story.

I read it as "World of Fisting" at first and I thought "Well, I guess the FetLife crowd will be all over it."

Oh man, I do not want to know how you level up and notch skills in that game. Virtual lube for sale in the item shop?

You laugh, but I hear that gameplay is really deep.

Halo 5 maybe on PC? Well, whoop-de-fucking-doo. Thank you, Lords or Microsoft, for blessing us poor PC peons with your scraps.

Wait. That didn't come out right. Let me re-phrase: fuck off.

I played Halo:CE on the PC and remember thinking "okay, this is fun. Not really earth-shattering, but fun."

The Halo 2 was ported rather badly and my impression was "well, this is pure shit," and went back to playing BioShock and Half-Life 2: Episode 2.

The Halo series hasn't been on my radar for years, unless some Xbox fanboi tries to preach to me what an amazing and creative series it is. The thought of jumping back into the series on the 5th installment holds absolutely zero appeal to me. And considering all the excellent options available to me on PC, I don't see that situation changing at all.

But this is business ... they know the people who have been there from the beginning will buy it, so charge as much as you can ...

Not necessarily. I've been with GW2 since beta but I didn't buy the expansion. Like some others upthread, I'll consider it when it's $10 or so.

Go take your apologist bullshit somewhere else, there is no such thing as a militant atheist crusader fighting to eradicate all religion.

Religion is a mental disease of the stupid and insane. If you really believe there's some all-powerful invisible sky wizard who interferes in all aspects of everyone's lives then you should be committed to an asylum for shock treatment and deprogramming.

And I'll just point out that you two felt the need to attack this dev simply because he made a very minor statement in reference to his personal beliefs. So, yeah.

Your brand of "atheism" is just another form of religion, and it's just as bad as the other fundamentalists you so despise.

Because we're sick and tired of the stupidity of religious kooks. We're fed up that we can't have nice things because of them. If it weren't for religious assholes we'd already be livig in a Trekian paradise by now.

Trekian Paradise? The only thing holding back humanity from utopia is religion?

Riiiight.

I consider myself agnostic, but Yeahyeah has a point. Somebody mentions God in a partially positive context and militant atheists freak the fuck out. It's almost Pavlovian in your response.

Oh boy. Another MOBA. I can't wait.

Looks like it'll suck.

Eh? Eh? Anybody?

My eyes skipped over the "Assassin's Creed" part and I originally just read "Syndicate". My first thought was "Oh, cool, they're bringing Syndicate back!"

Then I read the headline again and disappointment set in.

So Memorial Day is for US soldiers and Veterans Day is for all soldiers? How odd.

Memorial Day is for US veterans who lost their lives in the line of duty.

Veterans Day is for US veterans in general.

I live in a rural area and I do that now.

I will summarize this article in one sentence: "Amazon is bringing too many white males into Seattle. We find this unacceptable."

So, yeah, it's basically one long racist and sexist rant.

I almost didn't respond because that was pretty idiotic. That was nto what the article was saying.

Then why did the article go on, at some length, about the racial and gender make-up of the people moving into the area? In the very first paragraph, even. Apparently the writer thought it was pretty important.

When I arrived in Seattle in 1991, Tim Wistrom’s art playfully epitomized post-apocalyptic Seattle. But increasingly, the city’s likely doom appears much less fantastic and closer: an unaffordable traffic-filled metropolis dominated by white males and devoid of independent culture — fueled by Amazon.

Well, the Warp in the WH40K universe is a pretty unpredictable method of travel. All sorts of weirdness is to be expected.

Navigation Officer: "Sir! Warp jump completed. Uh, we've only traveled two hundred meters forward."
Captain: "By the Emperor's testicles..."
Navigation Officer: "And... two hundred years back in time."

I will summarize this article in one sentence: "Amazon is bringing too many white males into Seattle. We find this unacceptable."

So, yeah, it's basically one long racist and sexist rant.

I gave up Law Enforcement and went into corporate private security. The pay is much better and I no longer have to worry about some shitheel sucker-punching me. My wife sleeps better at night, too.

To be honest thought, I decided it was time to get out when I caught myself growing more and more bitter and cynical. And I was getting tired of the hate. Both directed at me (for being a cop) and by my fellow cops. There are some fucked up people in Law Enforcement and I honestly didn't want to be part of that anymore.

Also, getting called a racist 24/7 was getting old, too.

I'm married, AND I fuck other women with the approval of my partner. I live a domestic life others can't even fantasize about, yet I still have the respect and understanding of the sexes that seems to boggle the minds of my peers.

Please don't presume that you speak for all of us in the Lifestyle, 'kay?

Clearly beremots now is going to have PTSD and need such a service as Zoe Quinn is going to provide. When I think of services in context with Zoe Quinn, it's not counseling that comes to mind...

I always just assumed that beremot was just a sockpuppet of Zoe Quinn anyway.
