As for a new Ollie book, I assume he's trying to time it's release near the Call of Duty franchise, while his name is still fresh in recent (gaming) news. It would've bumped up awareness with voting-age and politically aware gamers, the majority of which are pretty connected with blogs/twits/podcasts these days.

Alex Jones is a loving idiot paranoid who, despite lacking any credentials whatsoever, suffers under the delusions that he is expert in: - engineering (Inside Job  )- domestic policy - foreign policy - finance The man is a certifiable loving joke. And when he is right, as all clocks are at some point (namely, the erosion of constitutional and amendment rights), he still completely misses the loving target, blaming the U.N, New World Order, Bilderburg Group, liberal media (  ), foreigners, and on, and on.You know, anybody except every administration since FDR died, which is to say, the people who actually have the power to make and break rules of government.

Not to be too facetious, but there is a game that is almost literally just that: Payday: The Heist Habermann did a VLP of two of the maps. Art aside, I can't help but get a LDS vibe from it. "Do more than hug your children. "Isn't it about... time?" As a socialist, I hate to use the personal responsibility defense, but kids don't have disposable income unless a parent gives it to them. What loving parent gives their kids cash and doesn't ask/monitor what they're going to spend it on? Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Jan 22, 2013 |

Cordyceps Headache posted:Video games are just a scapegoat, though. Conservatives will do anything to keep from admitting that young white males might ever be bad people, always searching for a reason that otherwise "good kids" just suddenly snapped. Yeah, I know that part, but what parent buys things for their kids, or gives them money without knowing what's being purchased? In general, I mean. Not just games, everything: music, stupid t-shirts, junk food, toys, gifts for relatives... Parents easily have power to control that. It's their bank card after all. I dunno, I just really want to grab Ramirez by the scruff of his neck, give him the ol' skunk-eye  , and say, "This kid has all this  violent media eh? Well, who paid for it, you stupid gently caress! The person hugging him! For a guy who's every other cartoon is about debt, you sure have a limited loving grasp of where adolescent kids get cash!"  Is this reaction normal when viewing his comics?

I am sorry for ya'll, as I have never been at any time in my life, and I have family there. Seriously, you guys need to bring back the Fairness Doctrine.

Minorities posted:Yes to both. Jack Swagger's gimmick hits the nail pretty much on the head and exposes the Tea Party for what it really is (at least as much as you can do so in a popular TV-13 rated show). This of course drives actual Tea Partiers insane because the dogwhistle has now been turned into a regular whistle that they can't silence. What the Tea Party thinks of themselves - Lex Luger: The Man Made in the U.S.A.  What even Vince McMahon realizes - Jack Swagger Probably just trying to attract smart people back, just to see what the fuss is all about.

I know I'm showing my age here, but I remember watching the audience chant, "USA! USA!" during a Yokozuna v. Lex Luger fight. Both of them are American citizens. I think they did the same thing in Wrestlemania X with Yokozuna v. Bret Hart.  It's also the last time I watched wrestling. Irony abounds.
