Well, until they make more, there's a number of really good TV shows out there. Unforunately, no really good sci-fi ones.

So. What killed Achilles? Surprisingly, it took a combination of five factors to kill this man. An arrow, obviously, but that didn't do it. The arrow was also poisoned, for the record, guess what also didn't do it. He was also climbing the walls of Troy at the time and had a hell of a tumble down them, but that didn't do it. His ankle got infected too, which killed him. But it really shouldn't have... Except he was too macho to let his wound be treated. That means what really killed Achilles was... Stupidity. Boy, the more things change, the more they stay the same, huh?

Yeah, I just love having big fuck you T-60 power armour blocking my shots and pushing me out of cover. It's fucking grand. I also think Danse probably wouldn't like all the shooting of Brotherhood soldiers I've been doing.

NOPE! Ain't life just fucking grand?

It's generally less extreme than that, but that's the gist of it. All it does is hurt the candidate closest to you if you run in a third party. Here, CGP Grey will explain it, using a hypothetical: s7tWHJfhiyo And before somebody says "Well, do you have a better idea?", this video is the first part of a series on EXACTLY THAT, so I don't have to do a thing. We do not need another centrist party in the United States, we already only have the right-wing republicans and centre-right democrats, and no left-wing politicians. (Even Sanders and Warren are only centre-left.)

@Heliocentrical 1. History says this test would be an awful idea. They used to require literacy tests to vote in the south, you know what happened? They made them fucking impossible as a form of voter suppression, then enforced them mostly with the young and non-whites. 2. You don't understand politics if you think a third party could ever, EVER work. It simply can't in a first past the post voting system, due to something called the "spoiler effect". That's what happened when Nadar ran and partially as a result of that we got stuck with Dubya for eight years. I'll provide a very educational video on the matter once I get home.

So, anybody know any good George Bush jokes? I haven't heard one of those in years. I know a few. "What'd George Bush go to the doctor for?" "Electile dysfunction and premature congratulation." "What's George Bush's fitness program?" "$3 gas." "Why'd Bush's inauguration cost $40 billion?" "His daughters demanded an open bar." "Why's Laura always on top?" "Because Bush can only fuck up." "What's the difference between George Bush and the average American?" "The average American can't find Iraq, George can't find a way out." "What's the difference between Bush and Clinton?" "Bush can't control his generals, Clinton can't control his privates." Ooh, that's another good one. Anybody got some Bill Clinton jokes? I only have one. (Not counting the above one.) "What does Bill say to Hillary before sex?" "Alright Honey, see you in an hour." Actually, I have one more: "How many interns does it take to screw in a light bulb?" "Nobody knows, they're too busy screwing the president." I mean, come on, eight years of completely unfunny Obama jokes, we deserve this. EDIT: Actually, I remembered another one. "What's Bill's worst nightmare?" "An intern with braces." Oh, I thought one up, how's this? "How's Bill Clinton like a Timex?" "He takes a licking and keeps on ticking."

So, uh... NO talk of the establishment's massive voter suppression in Massachusetts and Arizona, the former done personally by Bill friggin' Clinton? None? Okay then.

You're wasting your time, mate. Take it from somebody who spent three years as a moderator and two years as an administrator on a debate forum, as well as somebody who has been on both sides of this: People who believe in laissez faire and trickle down economics will never, EVER listen to you, even for a second. He won't address a single point you made, at least without strawmaning it to high hell in a way that makes it questionable if actually read it or just skimmed it. Yes, even though you own the site. Nah, the worst part is the international court it creates to allow corporations to legally sue member states for passing legislation that "unduly hinders their business". You know, like minimum wage laws, worker's rights and safety laws and of course environmental protections and anti-monopoly laws. Yes, you heard me right, and if you don't think this court will be staffed with 100% corporate shills who worked for some of these companies and will go right back to working for them after their time on the court, you haven't been paying attention. Actually, 4Chan found out about it and decided to troll the robot and see what they could make it say, just for shits and giggles. It was glorious.

Huh. Didn't I say this a while back? HEY LOOK, MORE YOUTUBE DRAMA. AND LOOK! THERE'S KEEMSTAR, STARTING ALL THIS SHIT AND STIRRING THE FUCKING POT. Oh, right, about the Finebros thing. Huh, what's the common factor here, I wonder? Is it... Keemstar, grabbing a nothing story and turning it into a major scandal through sheer bullshittery? Hmmm...

So, I never found it, but I found a companion who doesn't think the best cover is to hide inside my ass. In fact, I actually kinda like him. Robert Joseph Maccready. I didn't even know he was in this game, I was kinda stunned to hear his name when I went into the Third Rail, and boy did he ever hire cheap, goddamn. He stays the hell out of my way, is a good shot, doesn't push me out of cover, and so far hasn't been a jackass about the things I've done. I'm liking this guy, gotta get him some better weapons. (Maybe some new clothes, but... I don't know, his is pretty nice. Wish I could find an adult-sized version of his old outfit.)

9001% chance it's my ISNP. (Internet Service Non-Provider.) As my girlfriend so eloquently puts it, we seem to have bought our internet on Craigslist. (She has the same ISNP.) And as soon as we gave them the money they put their foot on the gas.

Yeah, I fucking hate my internet, I've been trying to do something about it. And you know, I think Frontier knows. Every time I search for other internet providers in my area, it gets really slow, or it crashes. I'm just here going "I'm going to take my business to your competitors." and they're all "I don't respond well to threats."

If it just makes my followers get out of my ass. (Literally. They follow so close their weapon or arm often meshes through my ass.)

Is it actually a rape whistle? That'd be pretty funny.

Slightly drunk. Would be drunk drunk, but the convenience store was out of my wine. Also, more importantly, I'm lonely. My girlfriend is too busy trying to get in touch with her internet girlfriend, (who is probably neither a girl nor her friend, much less her girlfriend) for me to go over there, and I had to go to the store to see another human being. I need some non-girlfriend friends. Seriously. I only have one, and he's in fucking Marysville, so visiting him means suffering through several busses, and sitting around in a fucking basement that's tiny, cramped, and so full of his idiot brother's shit that you can't hardly walk. Not to mention there being no food, and him barely managing to talk to you while you fucking pay for everything. I believe the experession is "Fuck my life".

You know, the thing I don't like about this thread is how unlikely it is people will respond to you, no matter how funny you are.

Maybe it's just me that has them constantly at an apparent follow distance of -30cm, always crawling up my ass and pushing me out of cover, or doing it from the front and getting in my way. I really want a "BACK THE FUCK UP", button. Maybe some sort of rape whistle, since they're always up my ass? And since I'm in third person all the time, I can verify that this is NOT HYPERBOLE.

I love this game, but the companion characters are fucking evil. They all think they need to stand about half a foot up my ass, block every doorway, block me when I try to back up, push me out of cover, get in my way when I'm shooting (and especially when I throw a grenade), throw any grenades they find directly into a wall and kill both of us, shoot me when I go into melee and use up all our ammunition and stimpacks. Fuck them all, so much. Lone wanderer for fucking life.

I use it to gloat when I've become the ballistic par excellence.

Maybe it's just me, but I find this fucking hilarious. At this point, I kinda wonder if they're really just in the closet and only do this shit because they know gay people are going to come make out in front of them. Oh, and while I'm here: I fucking want this. This exact thing. And I want it because fuck this guy, in particular.

i1BDGqIfm8U Gloating music.

I make my headshots with no auto-aim, no crosshairs, no sights and a goddamn bow. At long range and in third person. Either I'm a ballistic savant, or FPS twitchers are pussies. As a side note, I am going around shooting people in the head and taking their clothes off. In any other context, that would be frowned upon. Here? Par for the course.

R=-3+0.5(S-N), where "R" is retardation, "S" is the season number and "N" is the number of times it's been cancelled and came back anyway.
