The best good old games, never had graphics being one of their selling points. Planescape Torment, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Freespace 2, Super Metroid, Arcanum, Baldur's Gate 2, XCOM, KOTOR, Fallout 2, Quake 2, Thief, Starcraft... none of these games were particularly graphics milestones, yet they all hold up and are still as awesome as day dot, because their package as a whole (Gameplay, Story, Atmosphere, Sound, Art Direction) is all top notch. Even Half Life 2 was not the graphics king when it was released, yet TF2 and other Source engine games are still heavily played today. Stretching that further (even though I don't personally enjoy them) DOTA2, LoL and WOW all have pretty average graphics compared to AAA games out there, and yet they are probably the 3 biggest games played at any moment right now.
Politicians should say less BS and just let the scientists & social scientists tell them based on research and hard data if there is a link or not, and what we should be doing about it. Politicians can go F****** right off messing with people's lives based on their own personal bias, observer bias, party bias, political bias, or not-so-legitimate-funding bias. If you want to help people, listen to a broad range of people qualified to inform, and take their advice if it is backed up by peers and within the bounds of ethical code.
@skunkpants As much as I like to disrespect the NRA, people kill people. Sure having guns around enables the violence they inflict to be all kinds of OMGWTFBBQ insane, but they could do the same or worse with plenty of other legitimate and creative weapons and/or torture devices.
It's broken. They're not doing shit. They keep posting on twitter that they've "finished patching <insert server>" but they're all still down and we're all still stuck authenticating. Also WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO PLAY THE TUTORIAL ON EVERY SERVER JUST TO START PLAYING THE GAME?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
