16!?! That's great and all, and I was going to buy Witcher 3 anyway, but now I have no incentive to buy it early... more like in a year and a half after when all these DLCs are finally released. :|

They probably made some poor sherpa or yak hike it up to Everest Base Camp. What a fucking dumb PR stunt.

Or just acknowledging that you never built up a relationship and not having a stupid funeral with a stupid action button that no one will care about?

That would work but is that "troubling" as the editorial's author claims or is just a silly design decision?

Like Quiboid points out, it isn't saying "troubling" meaning disrespectful or anything, it just means that it's a bit concerning that video game developers are this lazy with their storytelling and think it's ok to try to force emotion with a stupid button press.

The Clean Air Act(s)? The EPA at large? The FDA? Do you think they've caused more problems than they've helped? They're gutted and less effective than they should be, but that's not because government cocks everything up, it's because we let corporations have too much influence over its governance.

The problem is that this country has some serious fucking issues it needs to address, and literally nothing will happen on anything for two years.

What are the issues that you expect the government to fix -- if it's not responsible for them in the first place?

Regardless of who is to blame, there are issues that need to be addressed. Do you seriously feel that everything is perfect right now and we don't need to change anything for the next two years?

1. Jobs and economy. We've fought back since the crash, but we're hardly in great shape.
2. Income inequality & poverty. The only way to truly improve our economy and reduce poverty is to reduce the gap between rich and poor which has grown wider than any time in the last 100 years.
3. Immigration. As a San Diegoan, does this seriously not affect you? You think it's fine the way it is?
4. Healthcare. No matter how you feel about it, do you feel it can't be improved at all in the next two years?
5. Global Warming. As a Californian suffering from GW exacerbated drought, I'd expect you to have an opinion here. Do you not want action to keep your precious beaches from disappearing?

Wow watching those voting results was like watching a national suicide attempt. The US really doesn't want to live on this planet anymore. Here we go boys, prepare your anus for legislation based on climate denial and religious doctrine.

Nearly 40% of the voters were over 60.
Boomers.

Boomers are selfish, greedy, and all around the worst.

That's painting with just a bit of a broad brush, don't you think?

I don't think so. And worse, those narcissistic pricks think they're greatest generation and have done the world a favour, when, in fact, they've made it worse. They had one moment in the 60s - which really just amounted to being drugged out, irresponsible dropouts - and have made things much worse when they sold out and became the establishment they were supposedly rebelling against.

There was actually a special on them on CNN a while back where they refereed to themselves as the "most important generation that's ever been". For fucking real?!?!

Shadow of Boston? That's the best subtitle they could come up with? Jesus.

Well, they couldn't get away with "That Shithole Boston" so they had to go with something more advertising friendly.

@Prez ... I don't know what you mean, exactly, by having a "rough time," but if I contributed to this rough patch you're going through, then I am sorry.
