The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

I love the internets.

Any of you fools keeping up with Korra?

I stopped watching tv.

Its not just on TV foolish fool. Do yourself a favor and catch up with it. Shit be epic, yo.

I haven't followed it since the third (fourth?) episode. I don't give even a little shit about Korra's retarded love triangle.

Same reason I'm ditching the Hunger Games.

Between ME3 multiplayer, L4D2 custom campaigns and mods, Dead Island just going on sale, Portal 2 and Napoleanic War expansion for Mount & Blade, TV has nothing that can draw me, bro.

You're still playing ME3 multiplayer?

I don't know why so many people feel personally offended by that episode. It was a funny episode and theres been no romance since. TLA had that crappy Cave of Two Lovers episode which was purely about getting Aang and Katara to maybe kiss. If it bores you that much just skip it. Episode 6 was awesome as hell anyway. Watching that sooner is hardly missing out.

I plan on getting back into the series eventually. I'm just waiting for all the sexual tension to go away so that ass-kicking can be the focus again.

Ass-kicking is back.

Also? Mechs.

Not everyday, but still 2-3 times a week. There's an update coming up soon. Also, Justicar/Adept teamwork can be devastating, even on Gold. I've run matches with a justicar where we destroyed Brutes and Banshees before they could walk across the biotic bubble.

I kind of lost interest in ME3's multiplayer once I beat a level on gold by myself using the Infiltrator.

... Which was in the demo, iirc.

The game's been rebalanced. I doubt you could do that now, trust me.

no, respect to the hunger games. i just hated the endings.

yes

this might make the bullied into bullies

Basically, either make an atmosphere where the gay kid can have one ally that doesn't have to commit social suicide or letmake the grown ups be his allies. Those are the options.

That isn't the strawman. Absolutely nobody is worried about Pedro putting on a feather boa and bullying Johnny. With respect to Blax, (who knows more about the facts of privilege and discrimination than do I) this author is a hack. [b]The problem is not overregulation of the bullying market, but a market failure brought on by institutionalized homophobia. (In so far as regulation is a problem, it is that halfhearted regulations are worse than none at all.)

Why bring alleged homophobia into this? Unless the kids getting bullied annually are overwhelmingly homosexual, your point is weak. By singling out homosexuality, you're not really responding to this guy's point. Also, institutionalized homophobia? Might as well call it institutionalized (not liking something that is different) and you'd have the same thing.

I skipped a step in my rant; the line that set me off was "turn the bullied into bullies." I can't stand it when people portray rejection of bigoted points of view as a form of bullying. So I was ranting against something without identifying the target. (sorry)

That's understandable but that still doesn't address my post about how you singled out homophobia or alleged homophobia..

Formally retracted.
