The Gaming Den

The millions of dollars came as a result of a class-action lawsuit because this thing has happened before and McD's didn't do anything about it. I think what's most funny is that the woman originally just asked for enough money to cover the 20,000 hospital bill. Regardless of whether or not you beli...

Frank raised a frighteningly good point in this thread: http://www.tgdmb.com/viewtopic.php?t=49000 So, my question to you assbandits: how come Hillary Clinton didn't push her UHC as part of a War Against Terror front? She had the best plan (IMO) out of all of the serious candidates--though the Democ...

What, no Giuliani swinging his +9/+11 club at his enemies?

Wha!t a wasted opportunity

While we're on the subject, how come everyone (on both sides of the issue) get caught up in the issue of gun fatalities--which even in the US, is only in the thousands--but no one gives a fuck about pollution? If I had a hazard to magically wave away without worrying about if something will replace ...

This all assumes four attacks per round with Rain of Blows which seems clearly incorrect...

That's what the Withering Weapon and opening with Hurricane of Blades is for.

Re-visiting my razor cleric build... For the epic tiers, I'm going to break with tradition and go with the epic destiny that's been maligned here before: The Eternal Seeker. Bear with me, folks. Add these things to my build: You want a Violet Solitaire. For those of you without Adventurer's Vault, o...

Yeah, about that OGL yanking. What the fuck? I don't see hardly any books for 4th Edition out there in the gaming store or in bookstores lately. That's probably because you could hold all of the official material (not counting core rules duplicates) in one hand. After 4 months of being out. Not real...

I thought it was, but it doesn't quite seem to be the case. While WotC stopped producing material for 3rd Edition, other people still have projects that use the system, notably Order of the Stick and whatever the fuck Paizo is doing. Though for my money you couldn't get a system more entrenched in p...

Not really, now nuts are calling in death threats to ACORN organizers; while McCain and the RNC are calling this a 'heavy cloud of suspicion over this election'. Once legal means have been delayed, on to the illegal means. -Crissa I wonder if the Republican party realizes that this is a particularl...

Bad analogy. People use guns for subsistence hunting. Who the fuck in the United States would starve if they DIDN'T have their exploding dildos? The economy would collapse if we magicalled away all of the cars in the US or even if we took away a third of them. What exactly would happen if we got ri...

Lago: We like our guns kthx. It's part of our American heritage. Literally.

Why doesn't the American people pick something NOT as homoerotic, posturing, and deadly?

I mean, the sheer level of fetishism over these exploding dildoes is absurd.

If when Obama becomes President all he ever does push Hillary to become Senate Majority leader, ends torture, permanently kicks Fox News out of the press corps, and ends this shameful vote surpression scheme of the right, I will be overjoyed. By the way, who the fuck is this Joe the Plumber greedy f...

OBAMA: We can find some common ground, because nobody's pro-abortion. I think it's always a tragic situation. We should try to reduce these circumstances. SCHIEFFER: Let's give Sen. McCain a short response... McCAIN: Just again... SCHIEFFER: ... and then... McCAIN: Just again, the example of the el...

What the title says.

There seems to be no benefit for self-defense, since the vast majority of handguns get used in the same household or in local crime. Everyone wants the brown people to stop shooting proud white Christians. So what gives?

Even from the stand point of "best" used by Coase - namely to make the most money in profit. Of course, the real bullshit of the Coase theory is that it results in wildlife rape, environmental degradation, and pretty much having to pay people not to kill you. I mean, the corporatists in t...

Well, fuck it. I'm up late. Let's go into externalities a little bit. First of all, let's talk about the Coaese Theorem, because this is the crown jewel in the Chicago school's tiara of horseshit. Quick history, markets cause negative spillover effects that have to be solved by government action. Su...

lol at McCain sneering at the health of mothers. Double lol at McCain specifically dissing funding for special needs children and then trying to pimp them again to score political points not 30 minutes later. That's pretty much all I or anyone needs to know about the repulsive Republican agenda. I m...

You're falling into the Chicago trap. The thing isn't just that their theories don't accurately model human behavior in the real world, it's that their models aren't even theoretically true. Mass selfishness doesn't produce the positive results that they say it does. At any level. You don't even ha...

It'll be interesting to watch the evolution of the Republican Party the next few years. It seems to me that conservatism is now where liberalism was in the early 70s. At that time, the Democratic Party was in the hands of its farthest left faction, which was unpalatable to the middle of the America...

Take TV ad spending, for example:

That's the future of American politics right now. Do you think that the corporate wing doesn't want a piece of that?

The thing we really have to watch out for is that when the corporists abandon the sinking Republican ship that they might try to latch onto the Democratic party. That will completely fuck up this country if this happens--look what happened to the GOP and the US when they got ahold of those fuckers. ...

The crime blotter out of Austria is frankly bizarre and kind of horrifying. The country is tearing itself apart and there will be a reckoning. All over Europe people are grumbling about Austria. They're treating the country like a dog that won't stop barking. So far people have tried telling them t...

If you haven't played this game, here's a really oversimplified view of their combat system. You have your big, badass hero with the moves and you command a unit of faceless henchmen. Other enemy units may consist entirely of low-grade henchmen or be led by a similar badass. While you generally chew...
