Betray as in watching your country burn and laughing as its way of life is completely destroyed for no reward other than that satisfaction of knowing the country is being gutted.

I'll pass on that. I'm not a patriot or nationalist in the slightest, but I like it here and would not get enjoyment out of watching the country fucked over.

Interested as in regularly playing the game and actually keeping up with new developments, snapshots and updates? Nah.

But I must confess that I do still sometimes play it with a couple of friends. We occassionally get together, start a new locally hosted world and play the crap out of it for a week or two before losing interest and ultimately getting bored.

I like to think that my writing skills are decent enough. The proper skills of putting together a case, writing it down in an orderly and pleasant fashion and then presenting and debating it kinda comes with the whole law thing that I do.

But I don't really have the time and considering that English is only my third language, there's probably users better suited for the job.

Write reviews in German then.... or is it dutch?

I forget which region you said you're from.

My mother language is indeed Dutch. Less than 1% of the entire Belgian population speaks German as their main language, so if you have to guess on a Belgian's language: go with Dutch or French.

I could translate a review in Dutch if people wanted me to, although I doubt it would be of much use.

This game is dead in the water competitively without them.

The game is dead competitively either way. Gear plays way too much of a role in the game. That's one thing that almost all great and competitive FPS games have in common: fair and common ground for its players, which doesn't really seem to be the case with Destiny.

Edit: unless I'm completely wrong about this and your weapons/gear don't matter for shit in PVP, which seems to go against everything Bungie said at first?

>taking user reviews seriously

Like any "controversial" AAA title on Metacritic, 95% of all reviews are either 10/10 by moronic Desticles and people trying to justify their purchase, or 0/10 by trolls and haters who haven't even played the game. And the 5% that actually submits an honest review usually doesn't hold any weight because reviewing a game not even a day after its release is pretty stupid.

I should probably look into getting a new phone. My iPhone 4 is kind of becoming slow.

Don't like it don't join. Plain and simple.

So, we're going to turn away men and women who are willing to serve their country loyally and faithfully...because they don't believe in a God and would rather not express that belief?

That's fucking stupid.

Pretty much. People like that shouldn't be in the military anyway. Small minded drama queens. There are bigger problems than this.

I thought the military valued the constitution...

Only as long as it supports their overly patriotic and Christian views, of course.

don't be a little bitch about it, Ninjas.

It'd be incredibly useful if you actually demonstrated the point you're trying to make, and gave us the source for that picture.

You can't believe everything you read on the internet.

The point he's trying to make is that the accuracy of copies of the New Testament is supposedly far greater than other greek writings, hereby (probably) implying that it had to be true, that the tales of the bible are not just fairy tales and that it truly is the word of god.

Unfortunately, the main "sources" to back this up are extremely biased and pro-christian "studies" that date back several decades and compare obscure works by greek authors older than the bible to the new testament as if that somehow conveys anything about biblical accuracy. I've done a bit of reading and haven't found any mention of this chart on websites other than the likes of "thechristiantruth.com".

Simply put, it's in all likelihood nothing but bias and bullshit, but even if it isn't, it's still completely pointless.

Headphones =/= headsets.

If I recall correctly, they sell headsets too. Well, Sennheiser does. I'm unsure about the other two.

They all do, I just wouldn't recommend them. They make some of the best audio equipment in the world, but their gaming headsets are pretty damn expensive and not that easily compatible with consoles.

Stole the words from me

OT: Yeah it'll take something massive for SJWs to start hating Doctor Who. That show and Sherlock seem to be unbelievably loved on tumblr. At least in the few times I went there. Hell IIRC jaythernerdkid was a Whovian as well.

Assuming you're the real Goji: I'm glad to see you've joined us. You always were one of my more favorite posters on Bnet.

I would like it a lot better if you would just give them away directly to me, but sure.

I don't tip. Waiters are paid a decent wage over here and other than leaving the change, tipping isn't expected whatsoever. Currently staying in the US though, so I just let my girlfriend take care of all the tipping and gratuity stuff.

Of course not. I'll probably end up playing the game some time, but Bungie and Destiny's utterly shit community has driven me away from anything like this.
