Oh, that's certainly a change from shooting and killing in some war torn place in the world.

Does seem like it'll be loosing a lot less in terms of content - hunting still there (obvs), not much to kill with I imagine or any story past survival.

But meh, I know virtually nothing about it. We will see.

Psychological rehabilitation, coupled with some time in a min. security psych ward.

Jail time would do him no favours, but neither would him being let off relatively scott-free.

Lol what is this test.

Thought I was melancholic; got sanguine. I'm in no way extroverted, and barely charismatic with friends, let alone strangers. I don't really give a shit about people, either.
How did you answer the questions?

How I would like any other personality or political stance test. Normally they come out with something I can generally agree with but that result was virtually the polar opposite.

50/50 Irish/Welsh.

Got O'Mahony's and O'Donnell's on the Irish side, Williams' on the other. Not sure past my great grandparents, however.

Serious / Re: Simple Question Sunday: Does might make right?
« on: October 04, 2015, 10:32:20 AM »
Not really no. The Middle East and the goings-on over there are a perfect example.

Look at Syria and the Arab Spring uprisings all along North Africa and the Middle East. Al Assad is teetering on power backed by his military and aid from Russia (and probably a few other unnamed ME countries), and I nor anyone else could call his use of chemical weapons and bombing civilians indiscriminately a "right" thing to be doing. The same goes for Iraq during Saddam Hussein's control. Was he right to impose his will and invade Kuwait and "liberate" it considering the valuable oil fields there? America had more of a just cause retaliating and then invading, even if that's a bit contentious for the original purpose of it.Israel I doubt deserved it's right to erase a country and have little disregard for the refugees it created in the process, and it's mighty influence on the region doesn't justify it either. Pushing back the other countries back to their own countries, yes, but maintaining a vice-like grip on the "buffer zones" and then building settlements on them, I don't think so.

And to diverge from the Middle East, Russia annexing much of Eastern Europe in the 40's/50's, and a throwback to it's roots more recently the annexation of Crimea. I'm sure defending the native Russians living in Crimea was far more the right thing to do, and not just the coincidental gateway to the Black sea was the main issue there.

"Great" Britain was totally in the right to colonise as many countries as it did because of it's superior naval forces and technologies at the time. Shame it didn't capitalize on those features and come to their aid when Famine struck in Ireland and in fact shipped food out of it rather than in.

Sorry, had a bit of a rant there but you get the idea.

On the other hand, "might is right" really depends on which side you are on. A staunch Assad supporter might think it's perfectly justified to bomb the rebellious regions of his nation, and he's trying to stabilise his country to stop the tide of ISIS from overwhelming them also. A Russian in Crimea could justify its annexation because a majority of the people living there are Russian-born. An Israeli could defend the buffer zones annexed in his enemies' countries because otherwise they could attack again, and they can always return them back once they are considered peaceful allies (like the Sinai desert being returned to Egypt... though since the uprising I don't know how well that's going).


TLDR;  It really depends on who has the might and the "right" thing they are doing. It's impossible to make such a sweeping claim when it works on a country by county and even case by case.

The Flood / Re: Who here has the best memory?
« on: October 04, 2015, 08:31:04 AM »
I remember things that are currently the most useful to me.

After that, I remember more long-term memories as I did them, sorta like remembering scenes from movies, although long quotes are summarised to the point in my head.. Nothing too specific like "The colour of X person's t-shirt at the party in july, 2008". That's next-level shit, or just random things that decide to get jammed in your head for no reason.

« on: October 04, 2015, 06:17:46 AM »
Lol early morning. I got up half an hour ago (11am).

Need to do laundry, restock fridge and then make my timetable for this year at uni.

Then grind tanks and battleships and get a bit further on wolfenstein.

I was going to say something here, but honestly, I've got nothing. So I'm saying that instead so it doesn't look like I just avoided you out of all the other people in here.

No problem, it's a slow R&R week for me.

The Flood / Re: Who is the smartest person in Serious?
« on: October 03, 2015, 09:12:06 PM »
I'd say no one.

Everyone has their specialisation in something; most just don't post about it or discuss it because it doesn't come up.

Then the other stuff is down to personal opinion and your own moral code, so there's really very little you can do with that except argue.

"I'm here with my wife and kids, this is our holiday, thanks to you lot, you've ruined our holiday!"
"No, boss, you ruined your holiday"
"Well, how'd you work that one out?"
"Because you was a cheapskate and you booked with a crap airline, isn't it?"

You want a hassle free comfortable flight, pay for it.
I'd gladly pay extra for a no-child flight, but those don't exist. Not in the US at least

First/Business class flights don't exist?

Most parents can't or won't bother with an expensive flight when there's a cheaper option. No guaranteed child-free flights, but a far less likely chance of getting one.

Plus you get the added bonus of comfortable seats, leg room, etc... not that EasyJet bullshit.
On domestic flights, there's only first class and coach, separated by a curtain, not anything that stops sound.
Earplugs? Headphones?

Doing absolutely nothing to remedy the problem on your side is a bit one-sided.

Gaming / Re: Which game has your favorite art style?
« on: October 03, 2015, 05:32:59 PM »
-Deus Ex HR (though a tad too yellow and black)
-Comic book style Borderlands and most Telltale games...cellshaded or whatever it's called?
-Wolfenstein TNO. Just got into it and I quite like the design of it all, though similarly cell shaded in areas.
