I have to strain my eyes to see things in split-screen.
Now, if most games did it like Halo 2, where the split is vertical instead of horizontal,
it would be WAY better.
#myopinion
Most games do from my experience. I rarely come across games that have vertical splitscreen rather than horizontal or don't allow you to change it.

Looks pretty good, although reinserting the magazine seems a little off. I think it would look better if it would be reloaded in multiple motions (move magazine up - change angle - insert it) than it just flawlessly latching on like this.

That reminds me of the game "Silent Hunter" back in the day. Anyone ever play it?

Unfortunately voter ignorance just isn't something that can be fixed though.
...which reminds me.
-People in positions of political power should only be paid as much as people serving in the military and or/just a normal living wage.
My reasoning?
You're supposed to be doing a service to the country. That's how is used to be, and that's how it should be.
Power corrupts.
People in political positions cannot be trusted in they're in control of their own salaries.
One could argue that the pressure and responsibilities that come with the job function of politicians warrant the above average wages.

I wouldn't know about American cops. Despite all that ever gets on the media is talk of abusive cops and excessive use of force, I'm still inclined to keep an open mind and look at both sides of the story before judging.
Local cops however, I've never had a bad experience with. The few times I've interacted with them went very smoothly and the two cops I know privately (an uncle and neighbor) are both great people that take their job very seriously and pride themselves on being the best policemen they can be.

So because you went to just 3 or 4 theaters in the US, that means that those peoples' behaviors were the norms? I don't know what state you were in when you went to go see those movies, but it sure as hell was not Washington. Every movie I went to go see at a theater, everyone was respectful by just whispering and turning off their phones. The only times I have ever heard people talking loud was before the movie started and after it ended. Literally nothing you said about the theaters you went to ever happened in the ones I've been at, and I've been to quite a few.
God your constant generalizing of America really pisses me the fuck off.
Do I really have to put "from my experience", "in my opinion", "from what I have seen" and "applying only to the Americans I have met" before every single sentence for you not to be a retard and go nitpicking and bitching about everything, all while assuming I'm talking about every single American rather than the ones I've met? That being said, it looks like I've either just been to some pretty loud theaters, or that American moviegoers are just culturally louder than their European counterparts. I'm guessing it's a little bit of both.

I can see my edit was to late, but i'll explain it anyway, i can see where your coming from, i do get annoyed when people do shit like this, but you gotta keep in mind that the US is not the only one in the country to act like this, besides people do this to show how they're enjoying it, i may be an American but i don't to shit like jump around in the movie and start cheering.
I realize that, it's just something that struck me as different. I've been to theaters in different countries and the US is the only one where I've gotten regularly annoyed by some of the people around me. Sure, I've been to movies where there were a few people being loud, but it just seems a lot more acceptable in the US than anywhere else I've been. That is from my experience at least.

So your saying we americans can't enjoy things like this, lol.
Not at all, I'm just wondering about the cultural difference. People enjoy movies in theaters where I live just the same while having an equally good time. I'm just slightly baffled by how loud people get during movies in the US, it seems pretty disrespectul to the people around you. I'm not saying this is inheritently bad, it's just very different from where I'm from. In Belgium, people usually enjoy movies in mostly silence, whereas in the US a movie seems more like a sports game.

Anti Gun is a problem in Belgium?
Oh no, not at all. We have fairly strict gun regulations that requires people to have a valid reason, background check and training before they can obtain a firearm. Furthermore, public carry is out of the question for anone who doesn't exercise a profession that requires one. I'm personally pleased with these regulations, as I don't believe your everyday person should be allowed to carry a gun around in public. Instead of the American system of "everyone can carry a gun around unless there's a very good reason to deny them one", I feel like "no one can carry a gun in public unless there's a good reason for it" is much more sensible. I'm talking about online interactions or some people I've talked to during my numerous visits to the US.

Now that I've gone to a handful of movies in US theaters, I figured that I am qualified to make this thread and ask a very important question as a direct result from yet another poor roleplay ("I am groot", ho ho 2funny4me). Why are Americans so loud during movies? I thought that the Americlap thing was nothing but a petty joke at first, but this is actually true. People cheering and clapping throughout the movie making so much noise that you actually miss parts of what's being said. There's not much of a point of showing 3 PSA messages at the start telling people to turn of their mobile phones when there's people making noise throughout the entire movie anyways. It also seems that a lot of American moviegoers are very easily entertained. I recently saw Guardians of the Galaxy (watchable movie if you don't put much thought into it and ignore how predictable and cliché it really is, but that's just Marvel movies for ya) and this scene had people go wild. Like, not just a few drunk guys finding it a little too funny, but easily half the audience was laughing their asses off as if it was the single most hilarious thing to ever grace this world while I was sitting there in disbelief. Explain this behavior, for it is very different from the typical theater experience in Europe.

Let's see.
Anti gun.
Pro secularism.
Pro EU and UN, to some extent.
Pro an extensive catalogus of basic human rights.
Not that big of a fan of the US.
I'll add more if I think of some.

I agree, economists should probably be listened to more
Problem is, which economists should be listened to more? Economics isn't an exact science and you'll find that a lot of highly educated and intelligent economists still disagree on many of today's issues.

Why thank you, kind lady. Would you care to be my girlfriend?
I'm afraid I'm already taken, but otherwise I'd drop my panties in an instant for a supreme gentleman like yourself.

Whatever. The real problem here is the fucking anime spam.
Take it to PMs. We don't want to scroll through entire pages of your completely off topic discussion.
I more or less agree with Challenger. People can post whatever they want, but seeing threads taken over by nothing but constant spam of anime gifs does get tedious.

I was rooting for Tribal as well. 
All it takes are a few clicks to make it happen. No one needs to know.

And looking back here to see what I missed before I made this thread, it turns out that my trusted friend Flee, gave Reciffo the advice that would he responsible for his demise. (thanks Fle).
Glad to have you back. I never liked this Reciffo guy anyways and I knew he'd fall for my ruse and get himself killed by the "advice" I gave him.

Africa huh? Which part did you go to? Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western, or Central?
Tanzania, so that's East Coast.

This. Take of all your clothes and walk outside, furiously masturbating and exclaiming how you'd love to come across a dangerous stranger to help you get off. In all likelihood, this will scare away whatever intruder there might be.

Solution: don't go to Africa
I'm still glad that I went. It was a beautiful place and I got to see a lot of things, some of which great and others that made me put things into perspective. But yeah, I could've gone without the food poisoning and spider encounter.

Wait, what?
I figured this thread was a response to Psycholigist's post about him killing the spider, where I posted the following: Let me tell you a story about spiders and toilets, friend.
Around two years ago, I visited Africa (Tanzania to be exact) to visit and help out at an orphanage my family supports, while also visiting the country and traveling around. Now, at a certain point during this trip, my brother and I got sick. A bad, bad case of food poisoning. I'm not going to say too much about that, but just to paint you the picture, imagine being rushed in a jeep to a field hospital in the middle of a national park at 3am after not being able to think straight or stand up without fainting, puking your lungs out, shitting your bowels out and feeling like you're going to die from a 41° (106 fahrenheit for you Amerifriends) fever. What happened at the doctor's aint pretty, so I'm gonna skip that real quick.
Anyways, to get to the point of the story, not even two days afterwards (two days that were spent in a little hut in the middle of nowhere away from any utilities, running water or toilets), we had no choice but to keep moving. After being stuck in the jeep for almost an entire day, we had to make a bathroom stop. I'm no huge fan of spiders, so I normally always checked around, below and above the toilet everywhere we went. Never did I see a single spider or creature.
Never, except for this one time. The one time that, due to a terrible case of diarrhea/vomiting, I just sprinted into the toilet without looking. So after going about my unpleasant business and feeling the tiniest bit relieved, I look up and take in my surroundings for the first time. On the wall next to me, not even 20 centimeters (like 8 inches) away from my face, was sitting one of the biggest spiders I've ever seen. I shit (no pun intended) you not, this thing was massive and looked like it had small children for breakfast.
What happened next can be described as me lunging away from the toilet, finishing up my business as fast as I could while not taking my eyes of this monstrosity for as much as a second and sprinting out of the place as fast as I could (which wasn't very fast, given my state of sickness).
So next time you see a little spider in your bathroom, think of what happened to me and be happy it's not a probably lethal arachnid of darkness coming to get you while you're extremely sick and hours away from civilization.

Spiders are cool and all until you look up to discover this sitting not even 10 inches from your face on a toilet wall as you're shitting your guts out and dying from food poisoning in Africa.
