My girlfriend LOVES the Tomb Raider games, in spite of the T&A. She loves the mythological aspects combined with the platforming/puzzle gameplay. Tomb Raider Underworld was so freaking buggy though, she gave up on it several times over the course of a year.

Hah, at first read I thought you said "network media steamer," to which my internal thought-reply was "network media steamer? Did Sony make it?"

Agreed. Once again, as seems to be the norm everywhere I look, people are conflating "what I like" with "caring what other people think about me and my stuff." The two aren't the same, and except for some robotic, moronic folks that exist in our world, we don't decide we like something just because of its influence on what other people think about is. I'm always butting heads with certain of my friends who buy into the whole "Apple products are just for people who want to look cool" mentality. They all know I'm a knowledgable person, but for some reason they ignore me when I explain that most Mac users buy them for the functionality and other aspects of hardware/software...just like with any other product.

In many areas in the U.S., while still considered a "crime," smoking pot isn't considered a big enough crime for the authorities to give a shit about. I'm sure there's a more relevant crime you could use when illustrating white people commit some type of crime more than black folks.

"Urban doesn't mean black even then, unless someone doesn't speak English. The formal definition applies." Oh? I've heard lots of people say it, and that's what they mean...they mean "black people" they just can't say it. You and I know the formal definition is the one that should alway be used, but You saying "urban doesn't mean black even then" doesn't magically make your statement true. That's *exactly* what "urban" means, when they're using it in that way.

I've found it to be incredibly difficult to locate LSD in the last few years. I'm glad to see someone is having better luck than I.

You're right, I forgot that Libertarians are also sorta "do what thou wilt" on social issues, with the proviso "be aware that I have a gun, so be careful how close to my house to do it."

Someone's off his rocker.

It's working pretty well, the problem is most people don't educate themselves about what's actually being done. They just want to buy into the predominant narrative, because it's more fun to hate on whoever's in the white house.

If I had mod points left, I'd give some to you.

"Liberal" and "Libertarian" are two completely different things. Libertarian is a form of right wing extremism, Liberalism is middle-left.

Except "urban" doesn't mean "black," unless you're trying to get away with saying "black people" in a context where you know it's wrong and unacceptable. Like if you were trying to get away with saying "black people commit more crimes," you might say "urban populations commit more crime." Urban means "lives in the city."

It's in the first sentence of the Slashdot summary.

Yes, sometimes it's obnoxious, sometimes people pick music that doesn't fit with the visuals. But your second point, while true, has no bearing on anything. No one makes music (or visuals, or whatever) choices based on what other people might possibly like, unless you're producing something meant to be bought by other people. Then you'd cater to those preferences. If you're making an internet video like this, you're going to pick the music you like, and you're not going to give a shit if other people like your personal taste.

It's Starcraft II that they modified - to play like World of Warcraft.
