    The breitbart review of dragon age is hilarious by the way

    wait what?

    why would a dead tea party talking head review dragon age?

    Breitbart as a site still exists and is remarkably awful

    why in the world does it still exist?

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$

    The site still brings in money and Breitbart planned for it to continue past his death.

    2011's Dragon Age II unexpectedly bombed with consumers, despite, of course, the rave reviews from mainstream game news sites, who need only get a whiff of a paraplegic lesbian in an ill-fated love affair with a black transsexual to award a game full marks. Mass Effect 2 wasn't a critical success with ordinary gamers either; they called it "filler" and said it was "uninspiring." It, too, bored players with politics.

    So to summarize, the study was just a mall guy asking random kids questions with no scientific standard (and the kids clearly giving joke answers), the results of which were then used as a publicity stunt for the unveiling of the mall's new nativity display, and the mall press release was picked up as news by some kind of cross between Fox News and a supermarket tabloid, which was then caught by some guy in north America who didn't know better and didn't care to check before printing it in the newspaper my parents read so they could repeat it to me over the weekend.

    I refuse to believe this real.

    This is the Onion.
    Except to say that, evidently, Bioware has failed to do even cursory research into lesbian relationships. For a start, both partners are cute. And they actually have sex! You know, instead of sitting opposite one another, separated by an abandoned Scrabble board and the remains of yesterday’s Saga knitting challenge, surrounded by rescue cats. In any case, with lesbian sex scenes as ugly and forced as this, the only scissoring you’ll want to do afterwards is to the game DVD.

    Explain to me in 4 sentences or less why gas prices have suddenly tanked recently. I filled up my tank at $2.17/gallon yesterday. When I drove past the same gas station later that day, they'd already bumped it down to $2.15/gallon. I haven't seen gas prices this low since I was a youthful preteen. "The rising price of gas!!1" has been a ubiquitous political clarion call the entire time I've been conscious of politics at all. What happened yo?

    Sounds about right. You missed the bit where the guy seeing it in North America just saw it because their website had it by an article that implied tits but in fact did not actually have tits.

    Unless... well, unless it's the lesbians, by which I mean the "alternative lifestyles" BioWare insists on thumping us around the head with. Ah, those hot, hot lesbians. They would be even hotter if BioWare's artwork wasn't so appallingly inconsistent throughout Dragon Age: Inquisition, of course, which is of course the only reason I raise the subject.

    It gets better. The two fucknuts who are doing the Feminist Frequency rebuttal thing jumped on as well and then interviewed Jack Fucking Thompson as a supportive voice for their anti-SJW stance. So now gamergate is hoisting the guy who wanted to ban their videogames on to their shoulders. Amazing.

    Right wingers like James Delingpole have had a volte face about shit like Target banning GTAV. They used to hate video games because they corrupted youth, now they love them because lefties are criticising them.

    Best guess I've seen is that OPEC (who produces oil very cheaply) is trying to drive the competition from Shale Gas in North America (which is very expensive to produce) out of business. They're still making fuck-tons of money, though.

    @Hakkekage‌

    hmm ok

    At the end of summer the global economy started to show signs of slowdown, with a glut of oil supply due in a large part to increased domestic US oil production. OPEC (the "middle east" to most people) makes up about 1/3 global oil production. In a meeting over Thanksgiving, OPEC declined to cut production to reduce supply and bolster prices. Markets subsequently lost their shit and oil has gone in the tank.

    I' hope one day they stop fighting for these things and we can all have a civilized and magical discussion to solve all our problems around tea and cake.
