  1. This doesn't even make sense from a monetary perspective. Fan4stic lost money at the box office. If Fox wants money, they can sell the film rights back to Disney and make a tidy profit. Instead, they're opting to throw more money down the shitter for some reason. What the shit, Fox?
  2. I am the antithesis. I don't trot out the word "hate" lightly, but if there was ever a faction of human sewage that I truly, truly hated, with every living breath in my lungs and every beat of my heart, it would be them.
  3. It was good; could've been better.

  4. That would very much depend on my hypothetical religion. In general, I'd say the discovery would be that no greater parts of the universe were the products of willful design. It's a tall order, yes, but that's why it's called a hypothetical.
  5. Of this, I am aware. Perhaps 2036 was a bit of a lowball year, but the meat of it stands. Some scientific discovery, in some field, has proven existence to be impossible even in the eyes of believers. What is this discovery? Interesting argument, but it is based on no particular philosophies. "God," in this context, would be whatever deity or deities you believe in. Didn't much consider that I'd run into a polytheist. It's kinda odd that I threw a rock in a random direction and hit a follower of Odin before a follower of Jehovah.
  6. Civil War is one of the best superhero movies I have ever seen.

  7. Not particularly well, and I don't push it. I'm definitely buzzed after two beers, and that's basically where I call it in due to my silly obsession with maintaining my mental faculties. I plan to break this rule for Election Day though, since why not.
  8. If people get to speak their minds freely on Ky's own blog posts, I'd say I respect him more.
  9. I'd just like to point out that the hardened edition of Modern Warfare 2 came packaged with a remaster of Call of Duty 1. You could download it once, and play it without the disc forever. Well... It is a multiplayer map pack. If you ever planned to use those maps, you had to log in anyway.
  10. Optimistically, they'll listen, and pull back on the future shit. Not in the 2017 game, thanks to the series' three-year development cycle, but possibly in the 2018 or 2019 installments.
  11. I know it's shallow, but in my opinion the setting makes all the difference here. I don't expect Battlefield 1 to be a thorough and complete examination of the Great War with perfect historical accuracy, but I'm hyped because it's the first of its kind. The only other non-fantasy World War I FPS in the world is Verdun, and that only includes the western front and no single player campaign. BF1, regardless of how it turns out, is a trailblazer for this setting alone. Infinite Warfare just reeks of spectacle creep. The future year has been pushed from 201X, to 202X, to 205X, to 206X, to the point that we're finally shooting space-commie-nazis invading Earth. I love sci-fi, but having immersed myself into the Mass Effect series and seen the pinnacle of what sci-fi shooters have to offer, I can't really look at Infinite Warfare with a straight face. Battlefield 1 is breaking new ground for shooters; Infinite Warfare is just adding another mediocre grain to the pile.
  12. Says the guys making yet another space shooter on an already crowded market. This sucks for me the most, because I actually really like Call of Duty in general. I still have fond memories playing the first two Modern Warfare games online, and the single player campaign of CoD 1 blew my mind the first time I played through it. At its root, Call of Duty is responsible for some really incredible games. So seeing Activision spit on the fans like this, and turn it into yet another generic space shooter (while Battlefield is the one actually trying something new this year) really pisses me off. I saw a reddit post a few days ago, where a guy took the Infinite Warfare press release and simply removed the adjectives. The result was exactly what we were expecting: I may be a Call of Duty customer again in the future, but not this time. Certainly not at full price. Battlefield 1 got it right this time, and Activision fucked up spectacularly.
  13. I liked the moral. People should stop being hypersensitive about what people call them, and learn to just get along. That was a good friendship lesson. On the other hand, the writing was cringey to the point that I had to pause it when RD was doing the impressions of the other Mane 6. This episode contained some of the shittiest dialogue that FiM has ever hosted, and that completely ruined the episode for me.
  14. her new nickname should be rainbow cringe

  15. I think Eastern Front was already confirmed in the livestream. Or period appropriate:
  16. So, it's $99 more than the Google Cardboard for the same functionality?
  17. I'm not even a Battlefield fan, and I'm flabbergasted. I can't wait for what will be (and I researched this) the very first AAA, realistically set World War I FPS to feature a single player campaign.
  18. Say what you want about EA, but nobody knows what games the market needs like they do.

  19. Hi, all. Agnostic atheist here in good faith (no pun intended) with a few questions intended to provoke civilized discussion. 1: This is an easy one, but many tend to provide widely different answers, and it helps to understand where people argue from. The age-old argument known as the "problem of evil" holds that if God is all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful, then he would prevent, or otherwise disallow evil from befalling his children. Evil, in this case, coming in both the human (Stalin) and natural (bubonic plague) varieties. What is your personal reconciliation or counterpoint to the problem of evil? 2: You are no doubt aware that there are a great, great many denominations of religious belief in the world. Most are monotheistic, and Abrahamic in particular, yet even these can be as different as bread and salamander urine. Why do you choose the denomination that you do, and why do you believe that yours is the favorite of God? 3: For this question, I am assuming that your God is a loving being, and primarily preaches love to their followers. With this in mind, is your God capable of feeling hatred; be it for a supernatural enemy (Satan), a particularly evil human being (Stalin again), or something else entirely? If so, then would God wish for you to hate them as well? If not, then does God understand why you would hate those that do evil, or is hatred a sin in itself? 4: This one is a bit trickier, so please read it carefully. I will assume that nobody here was personally visited by God, or Jesus, or one of their angels; and that their faith stems from, and is reinforced by, corporeal items and beings existing within the mortal realm. With this in mind, do you not fear that God's message, presence, or history have been compromised by mortal fallibility? Your church is headed by a mortal minister. He tells you to read your physical Bible which was written by mortal men, and whose accuracy is attested to by yet more mortal men. Some of these men claim to talk to God, most don't, none can prove that they do. Are you not afraid that these men may be mistaken in their teachings, or that some may speak with malicious intent? 5: Imagine yourself in the hypothetical year 2036. In this time, scientific discovery has discovered something which has, in your eyes, disproven the existence of God. What is this "something?" What is your goalpost for those who seek to prove non-existence? 5.5: To any atheists reading, I ask the opposite. Scientific discovery has proven existence in the year 2036. What is the evidence that will convince you? What is the goalpost for proving existence? 6: What are your views on scriptural literalism? Does scripture merely tell stories with deeper meanings, or does it convey a literal account of world history?
  20. "Strawman" is a rosy word for "lie." If somebody deliberately misrepresents your position, then they are lying, and should be called on it.

  21. Samuel Adams for president!

      I'm guessing you mean the beer since the actual man's been dead for centuries?

      The beer's based on the man, so both.
