yeah, you're REALLY going to have to stand out on the battlefield (i.e. running in as a warrior and killing a truckload of people before getting killed in the process, or just being an excellent sniper with the crossbow/longbow) and suck your liege's dick in order to get anywhere.
Then when you're a Lord, it feels very rewarding. But you'll ALWAYS be handed some shitty little village first. My village was handed to me right AFTER it got sacked by Robb Stark's party. Took a few weeks for shit to get back together.

I went with Renly on my main. Rose up through the ranks pretty quick and am now the Lord of a little village and a recently conquered King's Landing.

don't get me started on excelling in CQC
Poorly explained in cassette tapes. He was apparently the best soldier MSF had, and when they brainwashed him to have Jack's memories, I assume he gained a little experience. I like to think of it as a similar concept to Assassin's Creed's "Bleed-through effect", where the user can gain all the knowledge and skill of his ancestor by reliving their past or whatever.
Still though...I mean, I have to let Kojima take liberties because the Metal Gear universe is fucking weird already, but I find it hard to grasp that a comatose man was hypnotized into being an exact replica of Big Boss. I chock it up to him looking a lot like Jack. I mean, if you look like Big Boss, but act just a little bit different from him, no one's going to really suspect anything.
It's something I really enjoyed between the GZ Big Boss and Ahab. Ishmael has so much personality, Ahab has... none. Listen to Ishmael in the beginning. He's spouting action movie one-liners like it's nothing. "We gave her a light, she took the short way down." "Nothing like a little digoxin to get ya' back in the game." Exactly. Venom had zero presence, while Ishmael just carried the hospital mission on his back. It was kind of sad, especially since Venom's non-presence continued throughout the whole game (except for the "You're all Diamonds" scene). Venom Snake is MG1 Big Boss (notice how he doesn't talk that much?) and Big Boss is MG2 Big Boss (notice how chatty he is?) True...from a lore/story point of view that's pretty cool. From the game's point of view....it's just a giant "Huh?" Ehh... I've put over 150 hours into it and realised that most of what I was doing was just, simply, repetitive. The open-infiltration concept does what it can but at a certain point... The repetitiveness killed it for me. All you did was listen to some cassette tapes in the ACC, pull up what mission you want to go on, gear up, do mission, extract, rinse and repeat. And Mission 43 really was a great mission. It tugged at me and just made me feel a sense of absolute dread whenever you heard "Staff member has died." After the twist, I'm just very annoyed that it all amounted up to nothing.

Spoiler So I got to the "Truth" mission...
I don't think I have ever felt so underwhelmed. I honestly didn't see the point in there being a twist where some Medic we saw for a few seconds in Ground Zeroes is hypnotized into being Big Boss (don't get me started on excelling in CQC, mannerisms, etc to the point where he can act like BB without anyone suspecting it) and...it kind of fucks around with the canon, I think. Is Venom the BB that Snake kills in Metal Gear then, or is it the original BB?
And I'm also annoyed because I did a bit of research of my own since I heard that this game was supposed to have more content, but got slashed. I ended up getting pretty annoyed that the "end" of the game, and the conclusion to the Eli and the Child Soldiers arc, is a half-finished cutscene in a Blu-Ray disc only available with Special Edition copies of the game. I don't know, I just feel pretty damn ripped off that I paid $60 for a very incomplete game. There's obviously plenty of content to make you feel like it's warranted for $60, but the story just felt flat at some points. I was expecting a dark, spiral downturn for Big Boss since I bought into the epic hype from the trailers, but after it's revealed that Big Boss is just some random guy and not the the real Big Boss, it just makes certain scenes like Mission 43 feel like a big waste of time.
Anyways, it's a very solid game, but I found myself immediately heading back to The Witcher 3 as soon as I was done.

But he really wasn't tho.
He was just evil/crazy version of Otacon. He was still a pussy, and he still pissed his pants.
Basically....I'm kind of bothered that they didn't even bother messing around with his looks OR voice, he just comes off as way too much like Otacon.

However, from my experience, I have yet to meet someone with a severe learning disability who has absolutely no enjoyment of life at all.
Kids with severe mental disabilities are some of the happiest people I've ever met.
Well considering that they probably don't even know what the hell is going on around them... Anyways, tough question. If it's a severe mental illness that requires 24/7 surveillance, then perhaps it is better to euthanize them. I remember in Health class we were watching a short documentary about a 25 year old that lives with the parents and suffers from severe retardation that forces the family to watch her constantly. The family is mentally stressed, the daughter apparently left college to help take care of the person while the family went to work, and the mother ended up breaking down during one spastic attack from the mentally retarded person. Honestly, putting them out of their misery would be more merciful than letting them live with the possibility of causing further harm to themselves, or sending them to some facility/care home where the workers couldn't give two shits about them and go in just for the paycheck. If it's mild, then fine. But let the family be held responsible for taking care of that person.

Jeremy Corbyn has claimed that 9/11 was "manipulated" to make it look like Osama Bin Laden was responsible to allow the West to go to war in Afghanistan.
In comments that will raise questions about his suitability to lead the Labour Party, Mr Corbyn appeared to blame George Bush and Tony Blair for using the September 11 attacks in New York to allow them to go to war.
In a series of further articles, Mr Corbyn also appears to endorse controversial conspiracy theories about a “New World Order”.
—
Mr Corbyn was heavily criticised in the days before winning the Labour leadership after suggesting that the death of Osama Bin Laden was a “tragedy”. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/Jeremy_Corbyn/11892383/Jeremy-Corbyn-911-was-manipulated.htmlSo...is this guy like, your Donald Trump, Englanders?

http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2015/09/25/call-of-duty-black-ops-3-ditches-its-campaign-mode-for-xbox-360-and-ps3/Want to play through Treyarch’s gritty futuristic campaign for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3? You’ll need an Xbox One, PS4 or PC. Less than two months out of release, Activision has announced that the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game won’t be getting a campaign mode, though they will still be getting zombies and multiplayer. The older machines just can’t take the heat, the company says.
“The ambitious scope of the 1-4 player [co-op] Campaign design of the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions could not be faithfully recreated on old generation hardware,”Activision said in a blog post. “Delivering the best possible gameplay experience on all platforms is always our highest priority.” Hahahaha, last gen gets fucked again.

So I just got to Chapter 2, and so far...I'm not impressed. I'm not a big fan of grinders, but apparently I have to either grind out Side Ops or replay mission stories on harder difficulties just to advance?
Is this a Kojima thing, or a Konami thing?

no political experience
See, other criticisms of Trump are legitimate, this is not.
The political class in this country, in fact worldwide, is corrupt and bloated. The fact that someone has had a real career, rather then spending their whole lives pursuing greater power, isn't a bad fucking thing.
But at the same time, Trump isn't "diplomatic" with how he says things. He just goes off the rails, and I think, if elected, he would end up pissing off Russia and the Middle East some more.

A 78-year old man was hospitalized Sunday after a 24-year-old man reportedly punched him in the face over a Nutella sample dispute at a Costco in Burbank, Calif.
Derrick Gharabighi, scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday, is charged with felony elder abuse and personal infliction of great bodily injury against a person over 70, according to CBS Los Angeles. He could face more than 11 years in prison.
According to the Burbank police, the scene began when the elderly man told Gharabighi to only take one sample of Eggo waffle with Nutella after Gharabighi had grabbed several pieces, Burbank police officer Cindy Guillen told the Burbank Leader.
Gharabighi then allegedly punched him in the face. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/elderly-man-punched-at-costco-over-nutella-dispute/ar-AAeESn1?ocid=ansmsnnews11So...is this taking "Leggo my Eggo" to new extremes?

Oh Jesus Christ. Trump comments on how the second ammendment needs to be protected, and suddenly the Republican base (on social media anyway) are fired up.
At least I'm close to Canadian borders if he does somehow win.

So sent out with Quiet as soon as I could...I love that girl. On another random side note, the "Apprentice" trophy (complete a mission as a diamond dog operative" is Very Rare apparently.
Also when does the Head Option customization come into play for BB? So far I've only been able to put a balaclava on a mercenary.
