| Topic | What was people's problem with Bioshock Infinite?? |
| CW_McGraw 12/21/18 9:13:34 AM #36 | If the story of a game is about the protagonist's lingering guilt over the atrocities he's committed in the past, that game should not be an FPS where you mow down dozens of faceless bad guys a minute. The people who wrote the story had the ambition of creating something resembling actual art, but market forces demanded a game be built around that story that completely contradicts the story. It's just an unpleasant slog to actually play through, and not in the charmingly dated way something like Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is. --- |
| Topic | Trump wants to deport Vietnamese War refugees. California GOP goes full on WTF |
| CW_McGraw 12/15/18 10:52:16 PM #51 | Our system of government incentivizes this sort of behavior. Why would Donald Trump care about people who voted for him in California? Whether the states goes Democrat 51-49 or 90-10 is irrelevant. Republicans aren't winning it in the presidential election or getting a Senate seat there in our lifetime. It's a lost cause. Shitting on the people in California plays well in flyover states, so Trump is gonna keep shitting on California. --- |
| Topic | IYO, what kind of Democrat would be best suited for defeating Trump in 2020? |
| CW_McGraw 12/12/18 11:53:06 AM #41 | Hot Take: Not a woman. Country's just not ready for it. It's basically impossible to find a woman in the Democratic party who won't be painted as a shrill domineering harpy in the general election. The media landscape lends itself to pushing that sort of narrative regardless of the validity of it. --- |

| Topic | Just came back from seeing Schindler's List in theatwrs |
| CW_McGraw 12/09/18 5:33:33 AM #8 | Schindler's List is a well made movie, but if any subject demands to be treated in the grimmest, most brutal terms possible, it is the Holocaust. Spielberg makes a movie that, by the end, attempts to find the goodness and purpose in the most senselessly evil thing humans have ever done to one another. Schindler's List, though it makes me cry and feel things in ways that most movies cannot, is ultimately a bad Holocaust movie. If you wanna watch a movie that captures the spirit of the Holocaust, watch The Grey Zone. It's the best Hollywood will ever do on the subject. --- |

Because I've tried the maps for days already and they haven't worked for me.

| Topic | Not saying I would kill a person to find out how where to hunt mooses in RDR2 |
| CW_McGraw 12/06/18 12:54:32 AM #1 | But I would certainly mangle someone for that information. Seriously, I've spent like a week trying to find a moose in this fucking game. And I need like 4 pelts to craft the clothes I want. --- |

| Topic | Is enriched uranium covered by the 2nd amendment? |
| CW_McGraw 12/01/18 4:24:57 PM #6 | If the purpose of the Second Amendment is truly to scare tyrannical governments, nothing keeps the US military out of your backyard quicker than access to a nuke. --- |
| Topic | You are told "I need a ride to work around 9:30 am." When are you up? |
| CW_McGraw 11/29/18 9:35:42 AM #7 | No_U_L7 posted... ewww, what kinda dirty person are you that you leave the house within 2 min of getting up.... Dog, this my day off. As soon as I drop this dude off, I'm going back to sleep. I showered the night before. I'm not getting all gussied up for 20 minutes of driving there and back. Also, this is my neighbor, so there is no drive to pick the guy up. --- |
| Topic | You are told "I need a ride to work around 9:30 am." When are you up? |
| CW_McGraw 11/29/18 9:32:16 AM #1 | I set my alarm for 9:15 and can easily be out the door within 2 minutes, but was texted at 8:53 then called when I was still asleep at 9:02, so apparently I was meant to interpret that time I was told as "I work at 9:30 and need a ride before that." --- |

| CW_McGraw 11/07/18 9:49:53 AM #27 | States north of us bus their shitty baby boomer retirees into our state. They have no issue voting Republicans in who would have my state swallowed by climate change since their families don't even live here. --- |

Like the only thing that would make me want to go back to church more would be actual Jesus coming back and telling me to. Turns out ninjas were the root of everything bad in this show before, because this season --- |

| Topic | Do you think white genocide is happening in America right now? |
| CW_McGraw 09/29/18 11:05:03 AM #4 | Yes. They cast a black person to play a white character in a comic book movie. This makes Rwanda look like Sesame Street. --- |

| Topic | Why do Trump supporters believe in conspiracy theories? |
| CW_McGraw 09/19/18 11:39:02 AM #31 | I think conspiracy theories are a way for the right to cope with the fact that they wasted 8 years supporting George W. Bush in spite of his failures and fuckups. Only a fool could look at the world in 2008 and remain a doting, subservient supporter of neoconservativism. --- |

| Topic | Neo-nazi protestors attack jewish restaurant and injure owner. |
| CW_McGraw 09/12/18 3:10:40 PM #13 | This is puzzling. Did the Jewish restaurant owner not attempt to engage his Nazi attackers in vigorous civil discourse? This Jewish man must have not listened intently to his Nazi aggressor's grievances and addressed them point by point. --- |

| Topic | Learning Piano, so far 5 days of doing some stuff. |
| CW_McGraw 09/11/18 12:30:10 AM #11 | I started learning piano a few weeks ago. It helps that I played guitar and bass for 14 years before this. I find it really gratifying to get better at. Like I don't think I really got good at bass until about 7 years in, but even then, it's hard to really enjoy the sound of what you're playing because it's just a bass. Piano sounds like a complete piece of music pretty quickly, so even with my limited range of stuff I can do so far, I enjoy hearing myself. I don't have to force myself to do it at all. I love just sitting there and figuring out stuff. --- |

| CW_McGraw 09/10/18 4:19:14 PM #20 | ReginaldClovis posted... This is the best jump scare the lady that plays the nun was ever involved in: I don't know why movies even have jump scares any more after this. It's easily the best one ever filmed. I am spooked every time I watch that scene. --- |
| Topic | ITT: Unpopular gaming opinions |
| CW_McGraw 09/09/18 3:12:18 PM #25 | I just don't get the appeal of JRPGs. I've given Golden Sun a try, got a few hours into it, and then lost interest. I liked Pokmon, but that doesn't really count. Even there it has a lot of the flaws I've found in the other JRPGs I've briefly tried, specifically that the combat tends to favor spamming your good moves at trash mobs. It's undoubtedly the weakest part of Pokmon, but at least Pokmon has this collection and team improvement element that keeps you hooked into. I could never come up with a compelling reason to keep playing Golden Sun. I guess some people like the stories? Fire Emblem has the same bland story and characters, but the combat was much more interesting because of the movement around the map and using the strengths of different characters to your advantage. So I guess what I'm saying is that turn based combat in the classic SNES-PS1-PS2 era of JRPGs turned me off the whole genre. People have told me I'd like Legend of Dragoon and Kingdom Hearts, which sounds right. --- |
| Topic | there is now a Marvel boardgame called Hail Hydra |
| CW_McGraw 09/07/18 5:03:50 PM #2 | Sounds kinda like Battlestar Galactica's board game. You're characters from the show, but a few players are secretly Cylons disguised as people sabotaging the ship covertly. --- |
| Topic | TIL: Home Improvement had a video game. |
| CW_McGraw 09/07/18 5:01:45 PM #7 | Home Improvement was a big deal back in the 90s. Tim Allen built a career starring in mediocre family films off it, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas was a household name. --- |
