    Ingress

    Never heard of it until now, but I really don't get out of the house much, so no real point in playing.

    Couple Tries to Name Their Child Nutella

    They should have done what Klamborghini did. Put a 'K' in front and say it's silent.

    There's more than one sink.

    A kitchen fire is too sensible. Our guys will find a way to set the sink on fire while washing their hands and burn the entire house down.

    I like how half the house seems to have given up on clothes and instead just decides to stay in their swim-wear.

    Game Deals Announcement Thread

    I will say, from the Card Game Bundle, I have the physical Star Realms game and it is amazing. Two player game, but you all play from one single deck, if you have the physical game, you can combine decks to increase player count. You start out with 8 Scouts and 2 Vipers, and you build your deck by buying Ships and Bases from the Trade Row, a set of 5 cards set out in the middle. Both you and your opponent buy from the Trade Row, so there's an element of denial in the game by either Buying or Scrapping cards in the Trade Row. Each faction has different strengths, and only synergizes with itself. The game's outcome is never set in stone, I've played it with Case, and the two times we played, he was kicking my ass in the beginning, but then I'd suddenly hit this stride of amazing draws and I'd wipe the floor with him unable to retaliate properly. Sometimes a game can run extremely close, with both players down to about 10/50 Authority by end-game. Because it's a deck-building game, the game never plays the same way twice, both players' deck composition will never be the same two games in a row.

    Should James Bond be Black?

    So... Bond has just had a whole lotta facial reconstruction surgery? And has discovered a way to age differently? JAMES BOND IS A TIME LORD, NEVER FUCKING MIND, PEOPLE. The fact that there's such a massive controversy over this is just fucking stupid and I'm just not going to even waste anymore time on this. TLDR "HE'S NOT WHITE" Con-fucking-grats.

    Should James Bond be Black?

    Okay, then by your words, that would mean that "James Bond" is an alias given to top agents who possess extraordinary skill in the agency. Which then means that... there's no reason for Bond to not be black. THEN WHERE'S THE FUCKING PROBLEM?

    Should James Bond be Black?

    Let's see.. Sean Connery: Scottish George Baker: English Pierce Brosnan: Irish-American Christopher Cazenov: English Daniel Craig: English Timothy Dalton: British Bob Holness: British Michael Jayston: English George Lazenby: Australian Roger Moore: English Barry Nelson: American David Niven: English Toby Stevens: English See the trend? Only Sean Connery was Scottish, and he was the first Bond as far as movies go (Techniaclly Barry Nelson was the first Bond because he starred in a TV adaptation of the Casino Royale novel in 1954.) He played the role of Bond in the movies from 1962-1967, and reprised his role in 1983 for Never Say Never Again. Once Sean Connery LEFT and stopped playing Bond on film, the series had to be rebooted to accommodate a new actor. Sean Connery's Bond is DEAD. Harping on and on about the "original Bond" is pointless because we haven't had an "original Bond" for over 30 years.

    The "original Bond" is DEAD. We have NEVER had an "original Bond" ever since Sean Connery left the role.

    Except works of fiction CAN be changed. As evidenced by the THOUSANDS of comic book reboots. Bond has already been rebooted a few times, when new actors came in.

    I didn't say you couldn't change the race of Harry, Sherlock, or Walter. Even if you did, it really wouldn't change their character. And aside from "BUT THE NOVELS" - which have been ignored for how long? - and "HE'S NOT WHITE" there is no single good reason Bond can't be black. Bond has no character to him. He is Super-Spy Panty Melter, and that could apply to literally any person who can look the part and act it.

    Should James Bond be Black?

    I was just about to edit something close to that into my post, but now I don't need to. One of the biggest issues I see here, is that with all of those characters, Bond included, race was never a major part of them. They were never defined by their race, they were defined by their personality, their story, and their actions. But never by the color of their skin.

    Also, Rammite, all those characters you named have a whole lot more narrative behind them than Bond does. Harry Potter is a young wizard whose parents were murdered by an evil asshole, and Harry was the sole survivor, nobody has ever survived this evil asshole before. Harry was placed at the abusive Dursely's to be taken care of until it was time for him to learn of his wizard heritage. Now he goes off to Hogwarts to learn more about the mystical arts, and while he's there a whole lotta shit goes down, including Lord Moldybutt rising once more and threatening everything. Walter White is a teacher down on his finances and with little options left, turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamines, here's his story. Sherlock Holmes is an incredibly intelligent sociopath of a man who uses his considerable intellect to solve some of the most difficult crimes, we follow him as he cracks the toughest cases that the local police can't even touch. James Bond is... super-spy panty melter? I mean, he's smart and smooth as fuck, he can charm his way into most situations, is athletic enough to be able to handle himself in a fight, thinks quickly on his feet, and he has lots of toys. But there really isn't much else to him except super-spy panty melter.

    HAHA FIX'D God I'm tired. It's still just her regular hair on her head. Umbran Witches are able to use magic to augment their hair length, so even though she's got a new 'do, it doesn't affect her summoning capability at all. It's how Jeanne went from having short hair in 1 to having hair down to her ass in 2.

    Should James Bond be Black?

    Except there really isn't much else to Bond except that he's a very intelligent and suave spy (WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE SCOTTISH MIGHT I ADD YET AGAIN) who just so happens that, because of how Hollywood is, is white. There is literally no reason that Bond couldn't be black and have him still be the exact same character. I mean, we've had British and Aussie Bonds, but woah no black Bond is outta the question. :I

    Yeah it can. Bayonetta slaughters angels, while she summons demonic forces from Inferno using her hair. BUT, BECAUSE MAGIC, her hair is her outfit. So using her hair to summon demons causes her to GET NEKKID.

    I have been very good this sale. Bought only 1 thing, because I had Steam Funds. I would have liked to get more, but there really wasn't anything I had to have this second.

    I'm fine with Idris Elba because the dude can act. People use him as Heimdahl as an example of changing the race of characters, but the dude acted the part amazingly. The problem with a lot of other race-swaps is that they get someone who can't act.

    Got Fire Emblem: The Shippening for Bazzlebarp, and I just had a Support Convo between Chrom and Frederick. Frederick: "I've also taken the liberty of improving troop morale by having an artist draw a picture of you. It's you, naked, holding nothing but a scale and a sword with 'Chrom Wants You' underneath it. They've all been placed around the tents, I'm sure they'll be glad to see their Captain's noble visage inspiring them." Chrom: "Y-you did WHAT" FredxChrom OTP, totally canon.

    Bond is supposed to be Scottish. Only 1 actor has been Scottish, and one was a friggin' Aussie. The only problem that people have with this is that Idris Elba isn't white. And hell yes, I'm all for that suave motherfucker being Bond. Quite frankly, as far as I'm concerned, the name James Bond is just an alias, a designation. With the way we've had - what, 5-7? - different "James Bond"s, the only reason it would be considered a "big jump" would be because of all the race politics in the forefront of a lot of news media right now.

    It likely got caught up in an automated system. When Dark Souls was released for Steam, the Debug exe was released along with it, and someone may have thought that he was distributing the Debug exe. It's already been re-hosted.
