  1. Perhaps next you can play Shadowrun (the SNES version)?
    Unless there's a really special exception, I don't plan to be covering ANY Nintendo games after I heard about them going after Youtube creators, sorry. Besides, there's a lot more coverage of old console games than PC ones out there. Also for what it's worth, I think Super Metroid and Donkey Kong Country are also serious contenders for the "best game soundtrack" running.

     

    Damn, first machinima, now Nintendo? Well, on the bright side, at least another video game review is coming up next. If you were to do a mainstream game, could you give an example?

  2. Bush didn't create the PATRIOT Act, the Democrats did, but used the 9/11 attacks to get it pushed through after it had been shot down several times before... Then the Democrats in charge began abusing the power given to them by said Act, and blamed it all on the Bush administration. (the Dems even had enough votes to bypass a veto from the Pres at the time)

     

    Hm. So, if there was to be one branch of government that tried to take full control over the other two, which would it be?

  3. It's really disappointing considering both political parties (the major ones, anyhow) are willing to do this (Bush created the PATRIOT Act, and Obama expanded the surveillance programs). I wonder if this would've happened if bin Laden didn't order the 9/11 attacks (however small the chance may be)

  4. I wonder why the media would ignore such an issue (unless they were accepting bribes or being intimidated)?

    Because the media either gains money or power by ignoring it. That, and the intimidation factor... Being imprisoned without trial for as long as the government wants combined with everything in mass media being censored means you aren't going to get any mass-media reporters that will do anything about it.

     

    I think the "bread and circuses" idea fits well here (which, for people who don't know, means that you're well fed and distracted with "circuses" to keep you distracted from real problems)

  5. Mexico for the mexicans = YAY! How nice!

    Africa for the africans = So wonderful!!

    Afghanistan for the Afghans = Absolutely!

    Israel for the jews = Definitely!

    Sweden for the swedes = YOU FUCKING RACIST!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!??!?! WHY DO YOU HAAAATE IMMIGRAAAAANTS?!?!?!?!

     

    We HAVE to cut down on the amount of people we are taking in. We even have open immigration from Syria, why? I dont fucking know, because the dictators in the EU said so.

    You have to have some racial equality, but at the same time, you can't just think that mass immigration is the solution either (which seems to be your criticism). If you DARE say the EU is a dictatorship, you can fucking live here and see how you like it.

     

    Our integration system SUCKS. They put all the immigrants in one place and then the riots start, people from those places start torching cars, throwing rocks at the emergency services.....

     

    Fuck Sweden in its current state

    Fuck politicians

    Fuck EU

    Fuck feminists saying they have a hard time when someone says "Bitch" online when people in certain countries get hit by their husbands and arent even allowed to wear anything they want. You ungrateful piece of fucking shit.

    The immigrants here wouldn't riot, as they get jobs and food and unemployment checks from the money taxpayers give the government. Next time you see a feminist making a big deal about being called a bitch, troll her to death.

     

     

    Fuck 420blazeit smoking weed is so cool people, I want to smash their face in with a golfclub.

    Fuck the "what would you do if your friend was a nazi?" questions at school. I WOULD DO FUCKING NOTHING, WHY CANT PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN FUCKING OPINIONS IN A DEMOCRACY YOU HYPOCRITE FUCKS?!!

     

    Fuck people who gets 1000 dollars a day from their parents, buy expensive clothes and then sit and look down on people wearing hoodies and trackpants and saying: "Oh my god, he is such a hobo" I. WILL. STRANGLE. THE. NEXT. PERSON. THAT. DOES. THIS.

     

    Again, it's a fuck ton worse in the US, if you can believe that (your country still has some politicians with sense in them; no political party here knows or cares about what's good for the people) along with people abusing the unemployment check and food stamp systems.

  6. While I have faith in the judicial system (for now), these are pretty bad violations of Constitutional rights, that if not resolved in a few years, we may end up like Stalin's Russia, viciously pursuing dissenters and scapegoating problems on minorities (Hispanics, Muslims, and to a lesser extent Asians, come to mind) and people they brand "traitors". We are probably on that road, but we still have a chance to come back (although at the rate we're going, the US will be a shattered nation, especially if your estimates of secessionist movements are true, as well as my estimates of increasing Chinese power). I wonder why the media would ignore such an issue (unless they were accepting bribes or being intimidated)?

  7. The whole game is played out in real time. What we are experiencing is what's happening; there are no cutscenes, that's kind of the whole point. All evidence points to the HECU having nowhere near that many troops in place. Battalion strength seems about right, as the HECU were at first winning, but then the Xenians started to come through in force, forcing the military to pull back and bomb the place, eventually culminating in the nuke.

     

    Imagine the sheer size of Black Mesa. It would take about a week to clear the place of alien wildlife (all of which is hostile to human beings), some of which would have still been displaced due to the effects of the Resonance Cascade, AND clear the building of all humans, all of this being done by about a division sized force (around 20,000 men), and we aren't even taking into account the structural damage from the Resonance Cascade AND the thousands of safety hazards plaguing the complex AND the Nihilanth pouring in forces en masse. Imagine doing all that with a force of 5,000 or less men, with a person tearing through your men at almost every turn. The privates wouldn't know what was going on until they got there, but surely SOMEONE up the chain of command would have some sort of assessment plan (the Marines were on standby in case of the incident too, evidenced by Shepard's diary entries).

  8. 1. It was never implied there were millions.

     

    2. They didn't exactly come through all at once.

     

    3. That's pretty much what happened. The HECU held their own for a little but were pushed back by the increasingly numerous and organized aliens in hours.

     

    Even if there wasn't millions, they still maintained numerical superiority. The HECU would probably be more organized than the aliens until the last hours and withdrawal. Also, you stick to the games a little TOO much, and it's pretty clear that a videogame isn't the same as the real world (which is what I base my assumptions on (and I still stand by my estimates)).

  9. Not only would deploying multiple divisions in such a small time frame be basically impossible, but it doesn't seem consistent with what we see at all. In fact given what we saw, and considering that the games probably showed us the majority of the facility, I'd probably estimate them at battalion strength (around 1,000 soldiers). We saw less than 300 of them, alive or dead, in all of the Black Mesa games combined (Half-Life 1, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, and Decay).

     

    Well let me just say that a few thousand troops going against millions of aliens would result in a massacre.
