Call me cynical, but I honestly don't expect much of a response from CIG or the press regarding Ben-ghazi. All you have to do is look at how both have responded historically to gauge their reaction this time. I completely agree that he's an absolutely disgusting sleaze bag. I disagree that will be sufficient for CIG to disavow him, or for the gaming press to finally take action.

Just so we're clear, that picture of the murder victim with the news anchor's head pasted on it... Is that actually from Lesnick's site or is that a goon creation?

seems like most of the true believers have already sided with Ben so I don't think CIG is going to address this in any meaningful way. Unless of course gaming journos are going to start making noise about it.

Whilst this is funny as gently caress, people are deluded if they think that CIG will do anything but pay lip service and rely on their rabid marks to white knight the hell out the situation. After all, they probably all sympathise with all those quality "jokes".

(small derail from Benghazi, sorry folks) Awww  Definitely one of my favourites. I taught myself to play all the basslines on that album many years, its all genius, especially this tune. For muso heads, it's a song in different time signatures, and different time signatures between different instruments, it's like an interlocking rhythmic puzzle which for me is catnip and it sounds so simple. I hope you like what you hear, I was especially happy with how the bass came out, that's all natural with no EQ or anything.

peter gabriel posted:Sweet Oh I know man. That feeling 2 days before a show and you're like, gently caress. I really need to get the dust off this playing. My band headlined a Pride festival (previously known as Gay Pride), and it was by far the most amazing crowd/show we played. There were around 2000 ppl, I got to play through my full marshall full stack, and there was a cat-walk with fans blowing for maximum hair metal solo effect. I was practicing for like 6 hours a night for 2 weeks cause hosed if I was gonna botch a solo on the catwalk.
