what if the legion didn't have the slavery or extreme sexism
I don't know if it would be a much better choice even then
I only needed to see the first town they hit, with all the crucified Powder Gangers and I was like FUUUUUUU I will kill all of them.
regarding that
I dunno man, I fucking hated those Powder Gangers. I was okay with the complete destruction of some whore town and the mutilation/torture of a bunch of dynamite-wielding terrorists. Where I started disliking the Legion was Ranger Station Charlie(?).
Hmm, well the Powder Gangers are pretty douchey, but they murdered everyone in the town. Oh, and there were no females on the crosses or on the pikes, so we can safely assume all the whores were drug off to be slaves. And then there's Vulpes Incata, saying "All crimes are unforgivable, if you can't take it, do something and we'll kill you blah blah blah." So I punched his motherfucking head clean off with a power fist.
Comedy Central is dumb for not having clips on Youtube.
Yeah, I really don't get the whole intellectual property argument with stuff that's not more than clips.
It's not like a significant portion of cable customers are going to cancel their cable because they can see a two-minute clip of something on YouTube.
I friend showed me a funny clip. I wanted to show him a hilarious clip like it from Jon Benjamin Has a Van. If he saw it, he would totally check that show out. But nope. It's nowhere to be found. I also wanted to post it on the forums, to get people to check out the show. But nope.
Way to go.
It's not even on Comedy Central's website?
Maybe? I guess that their idea. That I'll go to their website. I guess I could make myself one of the 1% of people who do that instead of saying fuck it.
Oh... I thought it was generally known all the Comedy Central shows are on their website ever since the YouTube/Viacom thing.
Allegedly a voice of reason.

(1) state repression of the region fell short of physical destruction of the social system and the extended family structure; 3 (2) the clan organization provided a cultural identity that could become a basis of resistance; and (3) from the 1920s onward, clans had access to state resources that fostered their survival. More generally, the “indirect” nature of first Russian and then Soviet rule in Central Asia fostered the preservation and adaptation of clans as a form of social organization with political and economic consequences.
Yeah the Russians should have totes killed way more people then we wouldn't have this clan issue today.
Is really what you seem to be saying here.

so like, a couple of my coworkers might be having an affair but i don't know for sure but man they joke about it a lot and it kind of makes me uncomfortable.
also, I feel like I'm the only liberal within 20 miles of my workplace and that some of my coworkers are members of the John Birch society.

I definitely enjoyed how they
handled vulpes as someone who was sort of important, but could be killed really early on
I mean, I really don't understand how the response to anybody asking (politely or not) you not to spoil something is anything but "sorry, I'll be more careful".
The "well, [reason you shouldn't care that this stuff is getting spoiled]" conversation is awful. Obviously the person DOES care. Obviously the person hasn't seen that movie yet, played that game yet, read that book yet. So.....what's the point of saying "it's been out for 10 years dude"? That is completely irrelevant information. Anything other than trying not to spoil it in the future (within reasonable bounds) is a dick move. Period, end of sentence.
I mean, we have a fucking button for it, you don't even have to type the bbcode.
Everything is being spoilered now so why are you arguing about it?

You should join the John Howard society just so you can call yourself a john too. Also you get the most adorable letters.

Probably because some people act like they're being crucified or held down and made to watch their family die. It's incredible the victim complex that surrounds pressing that button.

What I'm showing here is that the failed to break the system that was there before they came and it is continuing to last after the soviets broke up and will continue to last until the world ends.
Probably not last until the world ends, since that's up to a few hundred billion years from now depending on your definition of 'world ending'.
My bio dad is a delivery driver. There are some areas- even a mile away- where they won't deliver. Granted, the 'call back later to tell you bit' is a dick move. At my dad's place all the phone people know what areas are ok and will say sorry, no, you'll have to pick that up. And if they can't we have a list of places in their area.
But my dad (and the other drivers) don't feel safe in those areas. The owner, my dad's longtime boss, respects and cares for his employees; despite the loss in business he agrees for those areas to be off limits.
I don't really see why everyone should man the fuck up to make sure you get your pizza. That's juvenile.
I'm not talking about your dad, and the place he works at seems to have their shit together, but thats part of their buisness, to fucking deliver pizza's. If they can't do that then I'm going to bitch about it.
You could grouse about it and say 'man, I really wish I had my pizza. It fucking sucks that I don't. I guess I'll eat something else'. That's fine. But saying that people who won't get your pizza to you are being chickenshits is... well, pretty crazy.
I mean it is cowardly, but it's not like the worlds gonna stop spinning because they don't want to deliver to black people.
I imagine you didn't work management for the pizzeria you were part of, huh? If you did you'd know that no one is happy losing business. They're not refusing to deliver because the neighborhood's black. You can say 'the neighborhood's not even that bad' all you want. The chance that the drivers, the manager, and the owner all conspire to just lose a tremendous amount of money every week because they're irrationally terrified of black neighborhoods is preposterous. You're being petulant.
Cool story bro, but I reckon YOU haven't worked in the food service industry for very long. Two of my best friends in high school ended up running pizzeria's and this sort of thing was common place until they took over and said "Look this is bullshit. Go out there and do your job."
I mean you can insult me all you want, but our two situations are nothing alike. Not even a little.
More thoughts on the Legion in NV, some big ole spoilersi n here I guess
And even then, I understood their purpose in killing the Ranger outfit. You have to have an overwhelming display of force against extremely dangerous enemies, etc etc. I just respect the Rangers as an ideal, mostly because they are most analogous to the PC in terms of individual strength.
Of course, I still wouldn't join the Legion because slavery and a rigid vertical hierarchy are inherently combustible societal traits. They would implode before their political nucleus had taken strong root. With the death of Caesar alone (and he was in the process of dying already I think), the whole political structure and legitimacy would destabilize, perhaps fatally. A divisive, abrasive Legate would help the splintering pretty quickly too.
But in a post-apocalyptic world, maybe an ultra-reactionary regression into a primal pecking order of strong males is where you want to throw in your chips (if you were a male PC, fuuuck all that as a female), regardless of the risks.
But the game's narrative sets up the player to hate the Legion. Personally I think the Fiends, Powder Gangers, and the various other criminal gangs are just as bad. At least the Legion is exceedingly competent in what they do, right?

I think part of that is
making the legion more fleshed out was something that got left out to save time
like how they cut Ulysses, who was apparently intended to give the player a better pro-legion perspective, from the main game
without him, cass and raul, are like, the only companions that say even one good thing about the legion

You're being entitled, for real. You getting your pizza is more important to you than these guys feeling safe. You're mocking people for being uncomfortable or afraid because they're not getting you your shitty pizza. This is ridiculous. You're even accusing them of racism so you don't feel as much like a baby as you should regarding how entitled you feel to have this pizza.
