    I think this police officer is either drunk or retarded. He's basically setting up a sting at one of our busiest intersections. I can respect that because it's a pretty dangerous intersection and drivers here just don't give a shit. But to GET to that little spot he's parking in, he turned on his lights and siren and drove on the sidewalk to get to it. Then he pulled someone over and when he was done writing a ticket to the kid, he fucking put on his lights and siren an basically did a high speed U-Turn right there across one of our busiest streets, and THEN he drove for a few yards on the wrong way of the street that is fed by the intersection he is policing. I'm pretty sure that that is not a valid use of lights/siren.

    Also, Fox News sucks and it's their own fault that nobody knows whether totally ridiculous images are photoshops are not.

    You guys are taking Fake But Accurate to new heights. It's pretty awesome!

    spool

    you are cool

    but if you are about to defend fox news I am going to visit violence upon you for it

    You don't have to defend FOX to laugh at people going "well I figured it was shopped it's still totally believable because lol fox amirite?"

    That is the definition of Fake But Accurate, and it is pretty much always laughable.

    we're not really doing that

    we're going wait is this fake? I can't tell right away

    okay then. ahem:

    I'm not really doing that

    I'm going wait is this fake? I can't tell right away

    (although Laos is basically saying I couldn't tell right away.)

    This isn't about what was said (or wasn't, and "believable is not the same thing as "accurate").

    This is about the righteous martyr Spool and the tiny minority of Real Americans being horribly oppressed by the evil liberal media.

    There's really no need to be like this, man. This thing where you try to marginalize me by trying to suggest I'm being dishonest or have a persecution complex is insidious and more than a little disrespectful. I don't need to put on a mantle of martyrdom to criticize shit around here - some days, it's just a target rich environment. On the other hand it's pretty fucking telling how some people, like yourself, so often reach for the ridicule bat to silence The Other.

    Your tribe knows you're a good little footsoldier, Reimann. They know you have the right opinions, they know you think the right things. You've got nothing to prove!

    It'll be OK.

    I know this is probably just you defending against a personal attack, so I'm just gonna skip past it, but you can't really watch those actual fox news clips and straight-faced tell me that their ridiculousness is exaggerated here because of a political bend, can you?

    It's not even about their politics, it is about the fact that they prove time and time again that they are not a news organization but rather an error/bullshit factory. I don't know why you feel like you have to defend them.

    one good thing about the last few days: aparently the Books app that comes with Android (that works with the Google Play market) is very good. I've been reading The Lord of the Rings on my phone. Even though it's not an e-reader by any means it's quite easy on the eyes and works well even for extended reading.

    random topic change to keep me occupied until that ibuprofun kicks in:

    what are the good PS3 exclusives (I have a ps2 set up in my basement and a 360 so really only looking at exclusives here)? Including exclusives to their online store not just stuff on disc.

    The missus has been eyeing Disgaea 3 (and 4 when that comes out) and we are considering getting one.

    oh

    here's how to play every class that isnt mage

    a) stack all the attack speed increases (except momentum and haste, which bug, unless they fixed that - check)
    b) stack all the weapon buffs (get fully runed fast attacking weapons and get mage passive buffs like fire weapons)
    c) never use any of your active abilities because they decrease your dps

    there, you have completed dragon age origins

    I don't think Spool was defending Fox News.

    He just thought the "Oh its fake? Well, its not like they are better than that anyway" thing that some people implied was a bit ridiculous, since all the errors were very exaggerated even by FOX's standards.

    I've seen like three episodes. I just don't like anime stylings much so I didn't have a good impression of it.

    Also yeah, most of the people I know that like it are into K-On, Dragon Ball Z and Naruto.

    Is it really that worth it, like say, Community with its weird ass obsessive fanbase?

    basically feral the combat was broken

    when you do special attacks it doesnt apply your elemental damage

    so once you get enough attack speed and bonus elemental damage your abilities become worthless unless you're a mage

    they advertised cross-class combos but...

    apart from critting frozen people there are basically none

    except mage combos which work with, er, other mages or themselves

    if you like (and you couldnt give two shits about min-maxing) then play it like it was meant to be played and get abilities and have fun, im just a bitter person who powergamed all my characters into boredom then complained and now i cant go back

    i actually pointed this out to georg zoller within like 3 days of the game coming out, and he answered me specifically and basically just said "we didnt have time to play test it" despite them being content complete about 5 months before the game came out, and the idea that your instant attacks shouldnt apply full damage being somehow obvious to him idk.

    this is, btw, part of the reason why i find the complaints about da2s combat hilarious - dao had one of the worst combat systems of any rpg ever

    MASS EFFECT THREE ENDING STUFF:
    Now the internet seems to be gathered around the theory that the entire ending sequence was the result of reaper indoctrination! Some evidence quoted is that it doesn't create any plot holes!

    Of course it doesn't - because it's the same thing as saying "it was a dream"! A well known cop out that is even a meme! You can slap the dream ending on absolutely anything and it will never create plot holes!

    all I saw was the tina fey as sarah palin picture

    their fuckups have been pretty ridiculous before, so it's not surprising when people want to doublecheck.

    the reaction is "what did they really do that, that would be hilarious" and I feel like it's a perfectly legitimate one for anyone who has seen the pants-on-head crazyness that is Fox News. Turning it into some "liberal echo chamber being dicks for no reason again" thing just seems pointlessly adversarial to me.
