She seems too emotional and will probably fall to the dark side.

Australia has changed prime minister four times in five years and there's already questions as to whether this one will survive until the next election (popular with the people, but not the party).

Hey guys, try not to make one of those 'false equivalences' or 'appeals to hypocrisy'. :smug:

Slavery had been unpopular for hundreds of years and had already been ruled illegal within Britain itself. Not sure if it could be called a cultural war.

He's completely wrong, though. And I'm not sure how he could have made this video without realising how wrong he is. Clearly you can't say for sure that you could make a difficult climb, otherwise it wouldn't be a difficult climb (unless you're a skilled climber and have plenty of time, in which...

This game proves that Obsidian should be the one making interactive movies. The dialogue is basically a Telltale spinoff game done right.

Fiction that speculates what future societies may look like is part of Science Fiction. The science part just means it should be relatively believable, it doesn't have to be high tech.

Any non fantasy post apocalypse is science fiction (unless it's historical I guess).

The US would have been an even more hegemonic power today if they purely acted in their own interests. In general, trade agreements are more profitable than wars, terrorism and embargoes.

I'm sure that even propaganda on the level of Christian anti-gay/atheist/RPG comics can have a social engineering impact. But it's still hilarious that they'd show this shit on TV.

Doesn't that New Statesmen article demonstrate that the complaints aren't purely partisan?

The combat just isn't that hard. The balance was perhaps a bit off in earlier builds, in that crafting builds were much stronger than pure combat builds, but currently you can use standard RPG logic and just dump non-physical stats and kill everything. Combat can still be difficult for hybrid...

I think those "blasphemy" protests a couple of years ago, conveniently occurring on 9/11, demonstrate that radical Islam isn't the only problem. Most of those protesters were probably just stupid rather than radical, a problem not unique to Muslims. However the ability for religious figures to...

Well that can't be right. Half the country doesn't even pay any tax.

Clipping issues make it hard to do.

None the less, that youtube channel is of a conservative think tank. Also libertarian in US tends to mean hardcore conservative, except pro drug legalisation and maybe anti-war. Unless they specifically state civil libertarian.

How can the gender alone make it cliche? I think it has to be specific style of heroine for it to be cliche.

Yeah, but they make the other wildlings look like wusses. These Thenns seem like great fun and should have got on well with the other wildlings (I think they were disliked for being too uptight and fanatical in the books).

In the books Joffrey and Cersei are basically little Hitler and female Stalin, unlike in the show where it's more like Satan and helpless wench. Also Thenns are relatively sophisticated and not cannibals.

I recall the expansion for the original commandos being much harder than any other similar game.
