    I actually agreed with Ben Carson on most things, but unfortunately he was a very uninspired speaker.

    Also I'll be working at Treyarch soon. All I had to do was show them Goldleaf.

    Where are the centrist candidates and policies then, because right now both the left and the right are embarrassing for different reasons.

    OK

    I see what you're trying to say, but in doing so you're essentially wiping away personal responsibility for the actions of the republicans in congress. It is not Trump's fault that they are reacting in such a way, it is their reaction, it is their responsibility. It is also their responsibility to the people that voted for them to get rid of something they've been claiming they want to get rid of for the last... 8 years, basically. What have they done in that time? They've had majority after majority and still couldn't stand up for the principles that they claim to hold. This is on their shoulders, no one else's.

    In my analogy the bridge crew are weak, non-compliant, dismissive, and more worried about their own skin in the game than the ship going down. Kirk being stranded is a direct result of their non-compliance to the regulations of the ship (something like "all shuttlecraft must have at least X amount of fuel before leaving the hangar") and the crew having mutinous factions that want Romulan or Klingon sovereignty, and who are therefore dutifully non-compliant and openly hostile to those who would try and comply with the regulations, or who would dare say anything. Sure, maybe Kirk has said some interesting things on his journey to the Captainship, but he got the rank fair and square (any mention of the Kobayashi Maru is not equal to Russian hacking, because there is zero evidence that any votes were changed as a direct result of intervention.. if anything, this is more akin to Trump's taking advantage of media advertising algorithms in order to stay in the news cycle 100% of the time, getting free advertising - nor is any mention of Russian collusion valid because again, no concrete evidence - and don't make me explain the Electoral College), and ought to be deserving of the respect and aid from his crew.

    So, like I said, the reactions to Trump by congressional and mainstream republicans are their own responsibility, and there is more than enough evidence to suggest that these reactions have more to do with the ethical fortitude of the people reacting - there is no question that they wanted to distance themselves from him in order to get in good favor with the Network and Basic Cable news outlets so that they'd project a 'positive' image of republicans ("oh wow, that Jeb!, he sure doesn't take kindly to that meanie Trump, what a nice little boy! How dare Trump use vague and interpretive ad hominem attacks in a political climate where the bandying about of '****' is expected and acceptable??") to the majority of old, low-info, single-issue, social-media using (mix and match from this list) voters when compared to the image of Trump that was being blasted across TV and Cable 24/7.

    As far as ever agreeing on anything, I can already sense that we have far too many different assumptions about rights, government, appropriate policy, etc. And as far as "what the people need" being based on their opinions, and how many of these opinions there are compared to other opinions, this is... no one can argue from a truth-based standpoint with this because it is subjectivist pablum - the only truth is the truth that someone (if there are enough of them) might experience. What if I say I need $10 Billion? Who is going to check whether I actually need it? What is the metric for determining need? What are the specifics? Are there any specifics? Why are your specifics correct?

    The burden of proving that increased education budgets and increased subsidies to space and tech companies are beneficial (or even "needed") is on you. I can already tell you that this type of system has vastly overinflated the corn, dairy, and automobile industries, not to mention the aeronautical/weapons industries, and higher education - oh, did I forget the housing bubble in 2008? Thanks Bush and Bernanke - so forcefully shunting more money from other businesses in the energy sector to higher-risk, higher-cost, and already high-barrier-of-entry businesses is only going to build up more corporate oligarchies that'll be able to twist the tax code and law to their own advantage and avoid "paying their fair share", thereby further shunting the costs of their subsidies onto smaller, less protected businesses and individuals. Before collapsing in on itself, of course.

    And while I do not have "an ideology" to have fun with, I will certainly have more fun with seeking the Truth than you will with your competing truths.

    What did everyone think of the Battlefront II Naboo gameplay, any plans on recreating it/aesthetics?

    Naboo was sexy as hell. Those aesthetics are going to be hard to replicate with our current blocks though. I might try something with it.

    This is a Spartan next to a block that is 5 feet and 10 inches tall. If you wanna know why the scaling in this game is so ****ed it's because you're scaled to a 7 foot tall Spsartan who walks at about 8 miles per hour and can jump 16 feet.

    Aren't Spartan 4s supposed to be shorter than chief? why are they using his measurements for everything? He's 7'2'', they should be like 6'10'' and move like doomguy but without stupid ass thrusters

    It seems they built the game to a certain scale and then shrunk the Spartans at a later date for whatever reason. Thanks for posting, it's a relief to see why not a single Halo 5 map feels properly scaled. Trying to scale for this game is possibly as bad as designing around it's sandbox. My god this game is f***ed!

    That is probably how 343 would justify it. Lore over game design every time with them!

    Also, this is your spartan next to the average school bus.

    E3 sucked hard this year. All companies, everyone and everything sucked.

    Also, Xbox One X is a terrible terrible name from a marketing standpoint. It looks stupid. The name looks like it could belong to a Chinese knockoff product.

    On top of that it is way to similar to the name of the Xbox One S. I anticipate the future cringe compilations starring spoiled brats who's tech-retarded parents got them the S, instead of the X. I almost had a brain aneurysm trying to explain this blunder to my girlfriend.

    Did no one at M$ think of this?
