He doesn't sound West African to me.

But, then again, I could understand all of his speech, unlike my former coworker from Nigeria, who I could understand about 1/3 of the time.

Your former coworker probably wasn't a professional voice actor, though. :V

man it would be nice if people used spoiler tags even for minor shit like that

what's minor about a precursor joining your team

oh right gotta whine about paying for stuff

i think we should go even further with spoilers

i don't want to know anything at all about a game until i've plunked down my $60

not even gameplay

in fact just don't even tell me it exists

Gawd, I dunno why I signed back up but I immediately regret it, why is it that a group of "trolls" can have an in depth discussion of a series but the intellectuals can't?

Isn't this 'minor thing' part of paid DLC? You can't really 'spoil' something that's going to inevitably be an explicit selling point.

well that's why i said it's a minor thing

it's just annoying because putting it in spoiler tags takes zero effort, but if someone forgets to do it then it's my job to edit the post

now picture someone dropping a major spoiler carelessly because you let minor shit slide

i find it easiest to simply not give a fuck about spoilers

Well it nipped the whining about it in the bud. Stofsk should totally split that coop idjit to the HoS though.

Probably because he is an unrepentant Thatcherite that likes to scream about STALINISTS. The interesting question is was he always like this or did he turn into this when he got financial friends and realised making money was more fun than inventing the best AI evar?

Starglider's "best AI evar" always did sound like a poorly defined pipe dream. But hey what do I know, AI has only been a largely failed sector for a good 30 odd years.

Whoa whoa whoa. I'll grant you the Dakotas, Arkansas and Kentucky, but California has nothing outside the mountains? I call shennanigans on that.

I mean c'mon, you can get shot at in a drive by.

Or have your car wrecked because of a police chase.

Or visit Hollywood. Whatever suits your fancy.

Plenty to do in the Great State of California.

I especially like how he cheerfully says that it will inevitably turn into a homicidal Skynet machine intent on killing all humans eventually and that we should try to build one anyway.

I was in Southern California for, like, a week. Aside from the San Bernardino museum and chilling in the malls, I did not find city life particularly great there. Big Bear, though, was fucking awesome.

Also, above about 3,000 feet, I could actually see stuff in the sky and didn't have constant eye irritation from smog and ozone.

here's another thing that just bugs me

"Incom T-65 X-Wing"

you could have just said "x-wing" or "x-wing from star wars"

the other stuff looks like look at me i read the books and remember fake brands

then again i dislike real brands too

just call it "my car", not "my mercades benz sux 4000"



i fucking hate that shit

i can understand if a guy in a commercial says "my dodge truck" since the whole point of the commercial is to do that

but regular people talking dont need that shit

oh so here's another fun thing

last night i was up at midnight and it was bright orange outside


but it is night now can it be bright?


answer: snow and clouds
it was snowing so fresh layer on the ground and low clouds in the sky



must have been reflecting city lights



kinda makes you realize how much light we produce that is just wasted on normal nights

even fake brands need to protect their trademarks

can't have people calling any old x-shaped flying thing an x-wing

the star wars were fought over genericizing trademarks

There's a lot to do that you missed out on. Besides, California also includes San Francisco and the Bay area, as well as some of the creepiest small towns you'll ever see.

But seriously, did you even visit the Creationist Dinosaur Museum out by Palm Springs?

San Francisco's not exactly "southern" California.
