Good news, everyone!

Jen and Phil are getting married! And Jen has asked for ideas (on Facebook). In my neverending quest to destroy... everything, I guess, I present Things to make your awesome wedding even awesomer.

Rings are overrated. I said it, and I'll say it again, goddammit. Just ask J.R.R. Tolkien, a man who hated rings so much he killed a midget just to get rid of his. In a volcano. So right off the bat, bam, venue. A free venue. I'm pretty sure they can't charge you to have the ceremony beside a boiling cauldron of heat and doom.

And rings are a pain, too. Easy to lose, symbolic only, and if you need a symbol, go full retard. Push your Ringbearer into the volcano. It says you are so committed you will kill for your spouse, and it builds a hell of a lot more trust than falling into each other's arms.

This part is for Jen only, so Phil, stop reading. I have a gun, Phil; don't let me catch your eyes south of this line.

Jen: Phil is a nerd. This gives you numerous ways to destroy his morale and sanity. I'll just mention one, but it's a doozy. Check out this website: http://nooooooooooooooo.com/

Hook a laptop up to the sound system, and when the "Jen do you take this man..." bit arrives, push the button. Say yes after, obviously, but have a camera ready. Phil will be the most traumatized he'll ever be at that moment, and you need a keepsake to show the kids the time you made daddy shit his pants.



Superheroes, and Civil War particularly, are interesting because they have enough power to stand up to the government. It's why their treated with a mix of enthusiasm and trepidation. Spiderman can save you from a mugging - but he can also toss your car at the Green Goblin. The heroes battle villains, providing a valuable service to the country - SWAT doesn't want to take on Venom - but they can also overthrow the country (as seen in The Justice League cartoon, "Justice Lords"). And I think it's important because, if you want to deal with the government - if you don't like the choice of Mitt Romney or Barack Obama - we the people need some kind of power to give our arguments weight.

NSFW, but awesome. The second one especially if you're a book nerd.

That's my justification for this.

A train leaves Minneapolis. If it travels at sixty miles an hour and your mother's a whore, how much can she make before reaching Boston?

One of the arguments against: "Any person naked for any purpose will be able to say it was protected speech,". Apparently he can't tell the difference between a pedo flashing toddlers ("I hate playgrounds!") and a guy protesting the TSA molesting his testicles.

http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/article/2012/07/12/how-i-lost-my-fear-universal-health-care - I'll save you some time if you don't feel like reading: "I used to be stupid. I'm still mostly stupid, but I've learned that, if something directly benefits me, it might be good."

Late Facts: I got the idea about Batman from a dream I had. I was cramming 8 hours of rest into 2, before I went to work, and that tends to send my dreams in weird directions. Batman killed a midget clown, then watched a musical (he murdered the clown on a stage) from the rafters. The body remained throughout the musical.

Morality in videogames needs to go. DA did it right, by basing it on the characters around you, rather than an invisible judge that saw all (though this still resulted in stupid evil). Most do it wrong, as in inFAMOUS 2. The evil option is to beat up people who help you. Being good means stopping muggings. And while both are good, it should probably take a back seat to saving the goddam world.

Aside from realism, however, the problem with morality in games is lack of subtlety. This is understandable. Even in books, which have been around forever, you find protagonists who do good (always and forever) and villains who walk in and announce, "I'll be your antagonist this evening. Would you prefer a dead loved one or a short bout of torture?" In a relatively new medium like games, it's not surprising that, when I play an evil character, I scream "EVIL!" as I jump off the building and send cars, innocents, and maybe a few bad guys flying to their doom.

But it's gotta go. In Knights of the Old Republic (and the original inFAMOUS) a lifetimes work of evil could be undone by one decision. I mean literal horns and a penchant for baby tacos, tossed away because you decided not to be a douche that once. It didn't make sense, but it was serviceable. The end to inFAMOUS 2, however, is not. The player has a "choice" of endings, good and evil, but he must be aligned with that choice. I chose evil (sort of) early on, but because of that I could not take the "good" ending. Even though it made more sense for the character. It limits the story, and screws the player out of "their" character. If morality has to be done, use the Dragon Age or Mass Effect model - decisions reflected in your party, or a guideline that determines how your character behaves when not under direct player control.  

Late facts: if there is another Superman movie (and there should be, goddammit), then instead of the bullshit uplifting trumpets, Superman should have this battlecry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwrel&NR=1&v=mp2IZbKBwCI Right? Best Superman Ever.

Late facts: the temperature thing, while impressive, is made slightly less so (very slightly) when you realize the core of the sun is "cooler" than the corona.

Superlate facts: it's hard to take your news website seriously when you have a large-breasted woman (or man) telling me to "stoke the fires of rrrrevolution" (rolled r's implied).
