    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    From your own article: But you're right, Issa isn't mentioned once...there's about 20 other mentions in there as well, that's just the one most related to Watkins' claim. Seriously, @GasBandit, for someone who likes to argue... A LOT, how could you miss that?

    Video Game News and Miscellany

    Like @Ravenpoe said, you can't sell digitial downloads from consoles either, but the console online marketplaces don't generally have the sorts of sales steam does. You can buy used physical games if you can find them, but that doesn't justify the lack of online sales, and on top of the that...

    cosplay does NOT equal Consent

    Except that the "rampant mockery" you mention is merely a meme shared by some people on the internet. There's not nearly the universal hatred of them you suggest in the real world. So yes, a fedora is form for other people. Not for you, but you're right about one thing, fashion isn't fair...

    cosplay does NOT equal Consent

    So in other words, fashion isn't subjective, whatever you say goes? I don't even wear/own a fedora and think your hated of them is extreme. It's not really insane for someone to like the look of something just because you don't. It's not something " everyone says is very unfashionable". For...

    Obamacare

    Eh, a random non-sequitur about someone doesn't make good snark IMO.

    Obamacare

    I can see why you'd think Gas was arguing for that rather than using it in comparison to the car insurance/health insurance argument, but Stienman? He makes a satirical post about handling car insurance like he feels the ACA handles health insurance, without even mentioning anything about voting...

    Really? Seems like he's done quite a bit. Lead Skye's interrogation/recruitment Took the lead in the field dealing with Mike, was the one to talk him down Participated in the fight with the rebels in episode 2 About the the only thing he's not been with the rest of the team on is taking back...

    [TV] S.H.I.E.L.D.

    To be fair, the opener had the highest ratings for a drama in like four years. Ratings falling off, even significantly, isn't too surprising.

    [TV] S.H.I.E.L.D.

    How boring that would be. Make a set of characters with similar badass abilities and they don't seem really badass or special anymore. She's been on one mission that didn't require hacking, give her a chance. And they're pointing towards giving her more training so that she's not dependent on...

    [TV] S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Sure they'll be compared, but you can compare two characters without one being another version of the other. Like they already compared Ward to Widow. My objection is more about that saying they just changed the name on the script and added a line to her backstory implies they're basically the...

    USA Federal government: CLOSED

    Between the House and the Senate there are 252 Democrats, 278 Republicans, and 2 Independents. Assuming all the Democrats and the Independents are in agreement, unless at least 12 Republicans are siding with the Democrats (which may be the case), the majority of congress is against him. Unless...

    [TV] S.H.I.E.L.D.

    The exact level of skill varies, sure, but simply saying they both have generic skills X, Y, and Z doesn't make then the same character. As it's used as an establishing mission for Ward, I do count that. And barring a massive alien invasion being underway, we see Widow primarily being used as...

    [TV] S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Piloting's the only one of all those skills that you could say isn't something most or all SHIELD Field agents should be good with. May's demonstrated no skill in infiltration of the "disguse and act like someone else" type, and like I said doesn't seem to be used in the same way as SHIELD uses...

    [TV] S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I don't think that's the case at all. For one, why would they think they could get Scarlett Johansson in the first place? The number of TV shows where she's played a recurring role in is 0. Even without that, other than being female and able to kick butt (which a large number of shield agents...

    [PC Game] Civilization V: Let's Conquer the World

    So we definitely have some interest. What do you think @Chad Sexington? Should we start a new thread or just tag a bunch of people to see who missed the first game?

    [Movies] Guardians of the Galaxy

    The lights on the chest of the guy behind Reilly (which you can also see the tops of on Reilly's uniform) look like a version of the Nova Corps chest symbol to me.
