I can't wait until the police knock on this idiot's door in a few days time, wish I could be there to watch
True and based.
But institutional racism is imaginary, right?
Watch.
The "if you voted for Trump unfollow me" posts are returning, but given then general makeup of your average tumblr user I think there's a different message I'd like to give.
If you didn't vote because "both parties are the same" or "it won't make a difference" or because Kamala wasn't the pure and perfect leader that you wanted or you "didn't want blood on your hands", honestly whether or not you follow me doesn't make a damned bit of difference. But I want you to look. Take a good look at the despair around you right now. And every godforsaken thing that follows I want you to fucking look. Look and know that you could have helped prevent it. We still haven't recovered from his last four years, the world hasn't fucking recovered, and now we're staring down the barrel of god knows how many more years and a river of fucking blood to come along with it.
But your pride and your principles were more important to you than the actual real fucking world we live in.
I hope, if nothing else, that you can take this in. I hope you learn. I hope you grow. I hope you find it in you to realize that in this country they soak our hands in blood the second we take our first breath and the only thing that matters then is what you fucking do with them. What you fight for. Who you fight for. Who you defend.
I hope you wake up. And you step up. And you fucking fight.
But until then. Don't you fucking dare look away.
After a brief look through this page, I decided to do my own mini review of the games I played that were released this year... 'cause I can...
Dark Void (Xbox 360)
I must admit that I was somewhat skeptical of this game when I first bought it (I got it second hand on a whim) but after a bit of play, I really enjoyed it. Something about this game screams low production values - some of the controls are somewhat clunky and the graphics aren't exactly up to scratch, however the flying mechanics are this game's saving grace, making the whole affair seem intuitive and fluid without being overly complicated.
Mass Effect II (Xbox 360)
I got ME2 with my '360 and it seems to be one of the games I keep coming back to. I'm a huge sci-fi nerd and this game just has everything I want. The graphics look smooth and realistic and the game play manages to be fast paced whilst staying laid back and enjoyable with a very engaging story.
Star Trek Online (PC)
As I said before, I'm a sci-fi nerd, primarily star trek but I've never before been able to really enjoy a star trek themed video game, their lack of production values has tended to destroy any immersion that I might have felt. While the ground segments of this game felt unwieldy and awkward, the space segments more than made up for this short-coming and kept me immersed and lost in the endless nerdgasm that this game rightfully induces.
Sims III (PC)
While not actually released in 2010, the awkwardly titled 'high end loft stuff' expansion was released in february. While the Sims III certainly brought a lot of extra features from the Sims II, it did regress in quite a few key areas. For a start the whole game feels heavy and sluggish when compared to the ballerina that was the Sims II - the loading screens grate on the nerves and it just doesn't feel as fluid as its predecessor. Admittedly a lot of the missed features will probably be crowbarred in via expansion pack, however until that happens and the game loses a few pounds in the process, I'll stick with the sims 2.
Formula 1 2010 (Xbox 360)
Being an avid formula 1 fan and a recent 360 convert, I couldn't resist buying this game, for once I actually paid full price on the day of release - so eager was I to get my hands on this game. And for once I found very little to be disappointed about. The graphics looked fantastic, nearing a level of photo realism that certainly impressed. The weather effects too are amazing with dynamic weather meaning that no two races will be the same. I wasn't impressed with the rule enforcement mid race, meaning that certain accidents that are infact the fault of the AI cars are treated as though they were deliberately instigated by the player. All in all though I have enjoyed this game, though there is perhaps a touch too much of a role-play aspect, this is a small price to pay for a fantastic F1 sim.
Smackdown vs Raw 2011 (Xbox 360)
Sadly I used to be a fan of this series but unfortunately it stopped being quite so fan after 2003 when it stopped being about gameplay and fun and turned into yet another way for the WWE to make money following the madden principle of keeping the core game exactly the same as it was the previous year, introducing a few peripheral components like some slightly different match types and then updating the roster to match the current year's crop. It was the stagnation of innovation in this series that made me stop buying them in 2008... unfortunately such is the draw of this series that it caught up with me this year when I bought '10 and then '11 - the only real reason I play these games now is in order to make my own characters and then match them up against each other... yeah... not really that good a reason to buy a game series, is it? I'll try and give smackdown vs raw 2012 a miss.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Xbox 360)
I must admit I have barely played this game as I was bought it for Christmas and haven't had much time to devote to it however I have watched my Girlfriend's sister play it quite a bit and the animation and attention to detail is fantastic, even aside from playing through the main story, the free-roaming sandbox aspect of renaissance Rome and the ability to dive from a roof top solely to end a guard's pixellated existence in a stylish and amusing fashion just never gets old.
Minecraft Beta (PC)
this song says it all, there are few words to describe the sandboxy awesomeness of this game, I doubt it will ever get old.
Scarily enough, that is all thus far, I still have a ton of games that I've bought and not played... I guess that'll have to be next year now :P
What a fucking stupid comparison.
While Apple are busy mugging gullible hipsters for their cash, the US Govt are trying to pick up the pieces of what the previous administration left behind. W spent 5 trillion dollars he didn't have on pursuing his various policies and Obama has had to spend 1.4 trillion on repairing the damage, given that the world is in recession and yet idiots with more money than sense are still throwing their cash at Apple, what a fucking surprise.
I really do feel sorry for Obama, if he wasn't picking up W's left behind crap, and wasn't having to cope with a hostile house, he could be doing so much good for the US - but hey, people never want things that are good for them, right?
my irony meter just exploded... she's paying for a replacement
