Oh, don’t worry, most European countries are on their way to become just as shitty as the US.

Drug abuse is a family tradition!

Also, the man’s outfit is skimpier than the woman’s. Not something you see very often.

In Germany we only vote on Sundays and it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience. We’re still lucky when more than two thirds vote. People are in general are lazy and stupid.

Yep, it’s not the planet’s first mass extinction rodeo. A few hundreds of thousands of years, and it’ll be right as rain again. Humanity will very likely just be a distant memory then.

Yes, I really like them as well. And I bet the game will be good too. I just worry about the game not selling good enough and with Microsoft’s current track record of shutting studios down, Obsidian being shut down as well.

Between Fable and Dragon Age, which both look pretty good, I’m afraid this game will have problems not tanking.

Als jemand der lange im Print gearbeitet hat, da ist zu 90 Prozent die gute deutsche “Haben wir immer so gemacht, das neumodische Zeug brauchen wir nicht”-Mentalität Schuld.

I really liked that aspect and kinda wish all Mad Max movies had been framed that way. That would certainly explain why Max is a very different man in Fury Road. (Hardy played him as traumatized loner, while Gibson always managed to give him a wry sense of nihilist humour.)

Yeah, that was weird and smelled like a studio mandate (remind people once more that this is a prequel!).

Voting is like having a log of shit in each hand and deciding which one will taste better.

Not-voting is having to eat the shit someone else chose.

Cursed child, even.

“While falling, McKellen could be heard to exclaim ‘Fly, you fools!’” (I do hope he recovers fully though.)

We’re almost at the “Brawndo” level of Idiocracy.

Pft, clearly reality just has a liberal bias!

My favourite description under a picture of the two in a (German) newspaper read (paraphrased): Civil right’s attorney Amal Clooney and her husband, an actor.

The least plausible thing is Trump being able to talk in sentences (or even being alive) in 2030.

Hitler’s Germany has shown you only really need about a third of the people to be behind fascism for it to succeed (Hitler won with 35 percent of the popular vote). In the US, it looks like that percentage has already been reached.

Well, at some point, it will work, when there’s no one left on both sides to start again.

Fun fact: If (big if) Goliath really existed, he was probably suffering from acromegaly. It is characterized by a person not stopping to grow after puberty. The reason for that is an enlarged, tumorous pituary gland in the brain. So David hitting Goliath between the eyes might actually have ruptured the tumour, leading to internal bleeding in his brain and killing Goliath.

So the whole biblical story might be based on something that actually happened and then probably got more and more dramaticised every time it was told.
