War Room Lounge v52: Oh, We Beefin' Now

[Islam Imamate]

Okay I decided to not talk about this one on facebook. But aren't people being hypocrites about the whole Little Mermaid white people are mad issue?

If a major black charecter were turned white there would be literal protests. How do people who would be fine with that not hypocrites if they think people are mad about the Little Mermaid character are horrible people.

Its been explained so many times that at this point I expect someone asking this to have seen the argument at some point. But in case you haven't, the reason there is a double standard is because historically characters have been far more likely to have been whitewashed than have been changed into a POC. And in the case of The Little Mermaid her being white doesn't really matter to the story. She's not a European princess, she's a cryptid.

I don't like the seeming mocking by Masvidal of his unconscious opponent, even if the guys was very disrespectful in the lead up

Hoping I'm just misunderstanding some of his celebration

No way man, he earned it fair and square. I don't like that we always expect these guys to be sportsman. Let them be sportsman if that's who they are and praise them for it but if a guy wants to gloat a bit after a hard earned win and some trash talk we should let them do that too. Its a more genuine expression of their personality than some perfunctory sportsmanship and it makes the genuine moments of sportsmanship all the more meaningful. Asking someone like Masvidal who, in that moment was in his heart of hearts wanting to rub it in, to be a sportsman is like asking GSP to be a trash talker.

Also, good on UFC not showing the still down Askren

You are right but as a Just Bleed fan I like to see guys get sparked like that and to watch them regain consciousness, stumbling all over the place.

People trying to apply historical accuracy to fantasy is retarded anyway.

If you can accept all kinds of dragons and centaurs and giants and shit, but a person of color gives you fits, I'm really not hearing that shit.

If your video game is "too historically accurate" for anything but white people, and I'm not taking a shit every 4 in game hours, then it's not accurate enough.

This sounds like a Kingdom Come Deliverance joke....

I seem to remember there being some reviewer throwing a fit about that game and the race of the characters in it.

 

[Tycho- Taylor's Version]

Millennial problems. When you're trying to listen to a really interesting YT video but the narrator has sloppy mouth noises.

My girlfriend's finance professor is this all over. This may be a shock but I had never once thought about mouth dynamics and arbitrage at the same time before this class.

You know I played KC, and Daniel Vavra was so fucking full of shit. Aside from the fact that people have been migrating across the world for ages, there was plenty of compromising shit that he included because it "plays better". After the whole Saviour Schnapps fiasco when the game first released, my tolerance for his blathering went down way low.

But hey, nothing says realism like taking down a dude in full plate with a single shot from an edged sidearm. I'm all about that.

This is why when people complain about the new Star Wars movies, I can dismiss them without a second thought. A saga about space wizards, robots and aliens in outer space, but having a woman fighting a man on equal footing is beyond your ability to suspend disbelief? smh

Force wielder deflects blaster bolts, nothing.

Force wielder pulls starship out of the sky, nothing.

Force wielder has a vagina, GOOFCON 1, WE HAVE A GOOFCON 1 REEEEEEE.

Seriously though, Star Wars is probably the least sexy sci-fi universe out there. No one fucks! If anything, not having concrete gender roles is rational to the universe.

Except for the Twilek, who apparently based their entire culture off of being as sexy as possible so they can get off planet.

When Star Wars does do sex, it DOES sex.

What's the Schnapps fiasco? I know saving in the game is a cunt and a half but still.

The new Star Wars though objectively from a Star Wars fans point of view (I could recite fucking Return of the Jedi almost line by line at like... 9) are just, they're objectively bad. The lady they have playing... fuck, Rey (this is how bad they are, couldn't even remember her name) does a damn good job in her role as does the guy playing Kylo Ren and Finn and Poe... the movies though on the whole just aren't good.

Less mumbo jumbo fake Asian Buddhist shit and more starship battles please.

They shoulda just done a fucking set of Rogue Squadron movies from when they take Coruscant from the Imperials like in the EU books but NNNOOOO... Disney had to FUCK IT ALL UP. Someone check to see if Stackpole and/or Allston are Jews cause then it'd make sense for Disney to hate what they wrote.

lol wait until they find out about Jesus's skin color...

Jesus was an Arab Hebrew that hated bankers. Past that I don't care.

Thor still >>>>> the pussy ass Abrahamic God.

When Deliverance first came out, the only ways to save were sleeping, or Schnapps. So to quit you had to drink schnapps and then quit, but it loaded you in drunk because duh, schnapps. So after initially telling people to deal with it because realism, Vavra relented and added a Save+Exit feature that was immediately exploited for save scumming lol.

He couldn't just make the save drink be, IDK... NON ALCOHOLIC?!

Hey man, none of the big brains at Warhorse thought that one through. Or maybe they did, because they also sold an actual bottle of schnapps as merch for the game. Failed design decision, or licensing tie in? Who knows.

Watched.

Like I said, if they weren't seemingly so dangerous I'd find them a lot more hilarious.

What is funny is that this sovereign citizen lives with his mother. He isn't all that sovereign.

Wasn't Leia supposed to be the savior of the Force is Luke turned to the Dark Side in the original series?

I remember some dialogue along the lines of "what if Luke falls?" .... "There is another" indicating Leia was also strong in the Force

 

[sickc0d3r]

Should have been smart enough to make the guy's alcohol tolerance increase with saves over time, but also become a drunk with the DT's when he can't get some Schnapps. Make saving a little bit strategic.

Also, random roommate blackout dicks drawn on the guys face.

It's like Donnie Wahlberg's character in Zookeeper:


It's always lulzy how those types always seem to be so angry.
