  1. But don't countries compete on who owns resources? That in itself creates the conflict. That conflict being a move in the game. They compete in growing their arsenal, spy games, making their currency more powerful or less powerful, and influence of democracy, fascism, communism, socialism, or whatever it may be. To us it's conflict cause we carry the burden. To those at the top, it  just may be considered a sport. Profit, resources, land, religion, politics; they don't exploit it without conflict as part of the strategy. So if we can debate chess being a sport, then why not actual war as a sport? 

  2. I'm gonna take it a step further and say war is a sport. It's competitive, you need physical skill and endurance and training. You need tactical skill from the ranks. The fat cats watch it all snacking on grapes and wine placing bets and skillful plots to destabilize regions. Other countries can join in on the competition. There really isn't a known schedule for war, so there's no olympics for it. Lots of hype and cold wars though flexing military arsenals and holding war games. Today, we can watch it unfold on tv or iPhones till the country blacks out all communications. 

  3. For people that can move around and compete physically, esports wouldn't be considered a sport. For handicapped, there are sports out there for them, maybe not in all arenas, but who is to say that can't be possible. For bed ridden people, esports can be considered a sport for them. And think about the future of VR systems and esports.

    "(A whole new world)
    A new fantastic point of view
    No one to tell us "No"
    Or where to go
    Or say we're only dreaming"

  4. Well, most comedians actually are more of the liberal type no matter the race, so they usually get away with it because it wasn't meant to be literal. But conservatives don't have many comedian outlets or shows and if they did it would undoubtedly be extremely offensive. For Christs sake, their humor is to threaten people and spread conspiracies. So as long as a white comedian has its fair share of a liberal audience, it will stay less literal and offensive. If it is a majority conservative audience, it will be more literal and offensive. Even a black comedian with an all black audience will probably take a white joke too far. So the audience is the key to keep things in balance. 

  5. I switch between games, books/comics, and shows. I've got rabbits outside I hang with. Not so much in this Texas heat. If the weather is right and there is a mushroom growing in cow dung, then I'll make a night of it. Oops; shhh. Most of the time, it's tea and a game. If I drink I turn into a rebel ready to take on the world, so i'll save that for the apocalypse. I'm also a collector of Gi Joes, so I spend time on eBay. It's definitely nostalgia. 

  6. Zero trailers for me. Actual gameplay and reviews helps me decide. Trailers are those hyped up fake models on internet dating sites. Then you meet them in person and they are the Wicked Witch of the West or Fabio's sidekick Gollum. 

  7. What does a half nude female warrior on a horse symbolize? Looks USA, but the only feminism in this racist, sexist, xenophobic country with a statue empowering a female must be Mary. So it is a catholic town. That makes me think southwest USA too.

    It makes me wonder what the first three Fartcry games were about...

    Fartcry and Unfarted series tried to come out at the same time, but the latter had to wait a year to be released. It proved to be a big hit, and worth the wait. 

  9. The medieval times seem like a more simple era. You fight for a king or religion. You are rich or poor. Heroes rise easier. Today, who is a hero in 6 billion? Who is the true warrior that fights for country? What do you even fight against in today's world with a corrupt banking system; food and pharma monopoly destroying everything natural; and nukes or missiles that can cause mass destruction? Kind of takes 'hero' out of man. And that gives a rise to the age of superheroes. 

    But even wizards and magic users in the fantasy genre seem more interesting to me than superman. Why? I don't have a clue. It seems like something that can be taught through studying and apprenticeship, which we can kind of relate to; instead of being born with a super power no one else has. Or even a ring from another dimension or the abyss is more intriguing than another Hitler (ahem). 

    And it's so much easier to make a romance out of ancient mystic times rather than a noisy city; or even out in a farm wearing stupid clothes compared to the craftsmanship then. 

    Simpler times with an emphasis on beauty and individualism compared to modern times with emphasis on mass marketing and societal approval. 

  10. My sister has Oculus. It's definitely the future of gaming. I tried a cool meditation game on it and in the future probably can help with psychological issues or hypertension. And I also tried a roller coaster game that literally almost knocked me over if I didn't sit down. It was pretty scary for me at least. It's something you have to be in the mood for. And might no be for everyone especially if you are doing some late night gaming and don't want to move around. For some weekend fun? Hell yeah.

    AC Odyssey last night

    I've been giving RDR2 another try. Played it a few times this past week. I'm not doing quests, just exploring, robbing, and hunting. Trying to get a better feel of the game. It looks pretty amazing. I can get lost in it in a good way just exploring. 

    Just did the drunken quest with Lenny (RDR2). Beginning to really like this game.
