I'm... really not sure how to feel about this.

Bloodsport, starring the Muscles from Brussels, Mr Jean-Claude Van Damme himself. It's so full of eighties homo-erotica and terrible acting. I often find myself barely able to breathe when I watch it, especially in a scene towards the end where (for no other reason than to remind the...

Do you honestly feel like you played less than a full game? What was incomplete about your experience that would have been completed by the few minor improvements and additions in the DLC? I had all of the DLC available at launch and to be honest with you, none of it was even remotely game...

All it takes is something better to do. If I got nothing, class it is. Anything comes up, I'm out.

From a position of political philosophy, yeah. But then, most of the Marxists I've known have interpreted every social structure through the lens of their philosophy and had it making some degree of sense so I think that's not too uncommon. Social Contractualism is, first and foremost, an...

It's basically the ethical theory that life is shit but if we all surrender some of our freedoms to some state or authority (Thomas Hobbes, one of the most famous social contractualists, called it a Leviathan which I like because it sounds kinda badass) then life is notably less shit...

It seems unlikely. I'm a deeply authoritarian social contractualist who believes justice is punitive rather than preventative or rehabilitory. Suffice to say, I don't see a lot of general support for my position. You mention you're a fascist and it's a very short countdown until Godwin's Law...

Technically inaccurate, yes, but functionally they're very much the point. Okay, not so much depravity but no government means no laws (since without government nobody has the authority to establish laws or the power to enforce them). When there is no law, the only rules are what you can do...

I have some two or three hundred hours on WoW but Final Fantasy VII probably has the most time on it. I know I've had at least two files with over one hundred hours on them, maybe as many as four. And to think, all that time and I only clocked it once.

I don't see the big problem. As a simple hypothetical scenario (which I'm sure many of you could add to or argue, but just in principle) you balance things. We have two scales we need to balance. Ranged versus melee and Force Adept versus vanilla. I'd propose two things to start on. Damage...
