And that's why we have minimum age requirements.
There are more than 2,200 deaths from alcohol poisoning each year in the US, or six per day. Three out of four of each death are men between the ages of 35 and and 64. 38 million US citizens reportedly binge drink. And this is with a substance that is known to substantially incapacitate and possibly kill a person. If this occurs with a substance that has that kind of reputation, I don't think putting an age limit on pot (AKA muh miracle plant) means diddly-squat in terms of limiting abuse.

I have a friend who recently chose to stop smoking pot. This is because he used to wake up in the morning, make a pot of coffee, and write (he's a writer, by the way, so that's kind of a big deal). He realized that all he does now is wake up and smoke a bowl, and he hates that it's stopped him from doing what he loves.
There is nothing wrong with occasional consumption, but to say that it doesn't take over people's lives is just ignorant. I've seen too many friends become burnouts to believe that there's no harm that can come from it.

We're not tools of the government, or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing... the only thing I was good at. But... at least I always fought for what I believed in.

That's the new kind of advertisement that everybody's going about. Don't show anything at all until the thing is almost out. Star Wars VII is doing the same thing, and so was Persona 5 until the release date got pushed back.

That doesn't make much sense. If anything, you'd just continue to vicariously live through the avatar you created. It's the reason why "don't speak, do" is a thing; imagining yourself doing something good (charity, working out, eating healthy, etc) gives you the same kind of mental feedback as actually doing it.
How thoughts and imaginations control actions
How the brain reacts to heavy thought and action
That's it, I'd say.
Imagining yourself as someone more brave, muscular etc, will make you want to be those things. Playing as a character that looks like you who is a badass will make you think that you're also a bit of a badass, or at least you could be a badass.
I don't get it. We're on the same wavelength, yet there's confusion.
Opposite. Thinking gets the same emotional reward as doing, so there's no point in doing in terms of that. For example, when you think of berating the guy on his phone at the front of the fastfood line, you get the same stimulation as actually doing it. When you think of working out, you get the same mental stimulation as actually working out. This is because the area of your brain that determines action uses your imagination to do so. It's why people with missing arms can still feel their fingers, because the brain imagine that they still have it. In terms of the avatar scenario, it would work the same way. You think of yourself as doing all these great things, so your body rewards you (chemically) as if you actually did them. There's no drive to actually put real effort into yourself when you get the same mental stimulation in a game. Tl;dr Thinking is not doing, but your brain thinks it is. This is one of the reasons behind procrastination, and why so many who intend to start healthy living habits don't follow through.

So I'm playing MGS1 and still trying to full understand the plot.
The government sent Snake in with FOXDIE to kill everyone.
Liquid used Snake to activate Metal Gear, did he know that Snake was there all along, fully aware of the FOXDIE?
Yes to both. Liquid assumed he would be as resistant to FOXDIE as Solid, but he was wrong (even though he was genetically superior).
Wasn't it outright stated that they ended up being genetically different enough for the FOXDIE to affect Liquid differently than Solid?

There's no such thing as too much TV Tropes. It's so easy to accidentally spend hours on it...

It's dog shit vs horse shit, but I'd rather have Fiorina than Trump.
Can we just like, not have shit?

I realize you really want a dom, but you can't be so perverted on the forums Tru. You'll just have to lewdpost on Bungleboards until Anarchy comes back.

If it's a tie you have to play Senran Kagura.
Nah, Hyperdimension Neptunia.
Nah, Queen's Blade Spiral Chaos.
He should watch Kill la Kill instead, or Dance in the Vampire Bund.
Or Bible Black.
I don't think he can handle religious sentiments.

I'll play Splinter Cell eventually but I highly doubt it has the same level of quality as any of the Metal Gear games. Except maybe MGS4, but even then, that game is still impressive at times.
Also Quiet is also the only shamelessly oversexualised character in the franchise. Meryl, Eva, and the Boss are some of the most well-written/strong female characters in gaming (particularly the Boss.)
id be willing to bet that you will not like splinter cell. Even compared to ground zeroes splinter cell is barely a stealth game. You can pretty much just play it like a normal 3rd person shooter with no consequences. The story's are always generic spy guy romps. There's a reason why half a dozen people have mgs themed names here and nobody is named Sam Fisher
Which is why Chaos Theory and Pandora Tomorrow are specifically reference when talking about good Splinter Cell, and why Blacklist is better than the past few SC games. Conviction was literally toted on the platform of "reaching a wider audience" and that games like Chaos Theory are reserved for hardcore players of the series.
