So wait, we can post ITT?

GOOD FUCKING JOB, ICY!

We want Titsara back.

I don't like the concept of locked threads with no discussion. Seems pointless tbh.

also BUNGiVisin has gone to Spartan Ops levels of lazy corner cutting and are using MP maps in campaign

For a five minute mission, it's really not surprising that they just used MP maps.

They have always said that they are a part of the story

Have you seen the polls for the "debate winner"? Trump's got 40-60 percent on all of them.

So...is it worth me upgrading to Xbox One?

Because while I do trash Destiny, I will say the gameplay is fun as hell, and if it has enough content without being a grind fest i'll consider it

If you have a nice 360 or a PS3 with a sizable HDD I'd just say go with that. All your characters will transfer if you wanna get the next-gen version (so long as it isn't like PS3 to Xbox One or vice versa of course) and while it may be an addicting game it's not worth getting a new system over at least IMO.

I already have an X1, I just have the vanilla game on 360...because i'm an idiot who bought into hype

If you bought it digitally, you can transfer the data over to the next generation (360-XB1, and PS3-PS4).

If not, just hold off and wait for a sale on the DLC.

The blatant truth behind all these debates is that, until a lot of the lower-polling candidates begin to drop like flies (Pataki, Graham, Jindal, Santorum, Paul, Christie, Walker, Huckabee), we won't have a clear idea as to who is the true front runner. All of these candidates have supporters and fundraisers that are going to be needed going into Iowa, New Hampshire, and beyond.

The Republican base is so splintered right now into it's sections that it is no wonder Trump has gotten as much support as he has. As the base slowly unifies under a smaller conglomerate of people running, we'll get to know whether they want a younger generation (Rubio), a Washington outsider (Trump, Carson, Fiorina), or a Government Official

Google trends during the debate. Fastest rising searches for each candidate:

Jeb Bush: "jeb bush wife"

Ben Carson: "how old is ben carson"

Chris Christie: "chris christie wife"

Ted Cruz: "senator cruz"

Carly Fiorina: "lori ann fiorina" (her daughter)

Mike Huckabee: "how old is mike huckabee"

John Kasich: "governor kasich"

Rand Paul: "rand paul net worth"

Marco Rubio: "how old is marco rubio"

Donald Trump: "donald trump height"

Scott Walker: "governor walker"

idk how you could put jeb in any other position but limbo tbh

We'll have to see how he fares in the polls later this week. He had a few good moments that will likely keep him in 3rd, so still alive.

The stragglers need to stop dropping.

Rand: 4/10
Carson - 5.5/10
LOL

literally the only two guys that didn't have an emotional kneejerk response to foreign policy and use "muh 9/11" as a basis for their arguments

Rand's become anonymous with his campaign. The guy is polling at the very bottom of nearly every major poll, and it's feeling more and more like he's given up. He had some good lines tonight, but he was lackluster and stale. I doubt he'll be staying in until Iowa.

Carson did fine enough. The guy lacks enthusiasm and charisma half the time, and he can come off as very monotone. He did better among the 11, but nothing that is going to help push him to even out with Trump.
So you're basing you're rating off of how they spoke and not their actual policies?

It all makes sense now.

Also the lack of applause tonight shows the Trump hype train is over.

As a candidate, you have to sell yourself to the voters - especially when you are in an eleven person debate with limited speaking time. It's why Trump has so much support, and it's how Obama won - people don't want someone who is like a senile Grandpa in a retirement home on fourteen types of medication. They want a leader, someone who is energetic and charismatic - and yes, has good ideas.

That's how it is in politics these days, whether we like it or not. And it's not like we're talking about a Democrat and Republican in terms of their policies - most of these candidates, in some form, have similar policies. To discern between Rubio, Bush, and Christie is like dividing a hair.

Carson did fine, he's very intelligent - but he's not going to catch up with Trump, who is milking it with his charisma, by what he did tonight.

Paul is...done.

I doubt he'll be staying in until Iowa - same with Walker (Who will likely end up as Pawlenty), and potentially most of the junior debate.

Changing the 20 and not the 10 is the better idea.

No.

Again, it's unfeasible to deport 11-12 million.

No it's not.

She wants to give weapons to the Kurds and Jordanians? Gee, don't see how giving weapons to other countries to wage a proxy war could go wrong. Never happened before.

The Kurds are the only people we should be helping tbh.
I'm not saying we shouldn't help the Kurds. But weaponizing them to combat Russia is a fucking awful idea.

Against Russia is a shit idea. Against ISIS, who they are fighting constantly in the northern country? They need it.
