STEVEN UNIVERSE PREDICTION:
Steven will fuse with Greg so he can share one last moment with Rose.
Alternatively, the same thing, but with Pearl.

I'm having a hard time expressing my feelings about Charleston. I just wanna say that it seems like the terrorist made a lot of racist jokes, rants, and eventually threats to a lot of people close to him; and none of them took him seriously. That's a real problem.
-
I would at least watch a Let's Play or something.
*cough Metal Gear Scanlon 3 cough*

In this thread I found out that Sean shares a birthday with my dad and Danielle shares a birthday with my mom.
Sean/your dad also share a birthday with Dan Ryckert.
Happy belated birthday, Sean!

I wanna chime in on sofagate: My sofa was here when I moved in. The previous tenant left it behind because it was too much of a hassle to get down four flights of stairs. they also left behind a toaster oven for some reason.
I'd actually like to buy a new couch. I don't like buying things used because I'm a stickler for quality, and I'd love to have a nice modern sectional. I'd sooner get a real bed first though.

Life
in Idle Banter
So to withdraw any of the money I'm making through Patreon, I need a foreign tax ID number. I'm having a tough time getting that. From what I gather, I'll also need some form of ID, most likely a passport. To get that, I'll need to go have new photos taken, pay $120 that I don't have, and wait five weeks. I can skip that last step by finding a way to get to Fredericton, where they can renew it in five days.
I need... help, or advice. Or money. Or something.

A word about the Daily Show monologue for anyone who didn't watch the full episode or doesn't usually watch the show: usually Stewart will do about fifteen minutes of punditry and satire, making quips about the news, showing segments with other members of the staff doing interviews, etc. before finally moving on and devoting the last five minutes or so of the show to doing an interview with a celebrity, an author, a political figure, etc. Yesterday, he wasn't kidding about not having any jokes. That sobering monologue was the entire non-interview portion of the show, which I believe is the first time he's ever done that. I get the impression that he wouldn't have even done the interview if it were a lesser guest like an actor pitching their new movie or something.
I'm interested in seeing what he'll inevitably have to say about the media coverage of the event after the weekend.
There's just so much about this whole thing that's making me angry.

So if any of you missed it, a white supremacist shot up a church the other day. It was a historically important African-American church; the shooter was reported by friends as saying things like "blacks were taking over the world" and that "someone needed to do something about it for the white race," and by victims as saying “I have to do it. You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go;” and his Facebook page has him showing off the Confederate flag plates on his car and the patches for the flags of apartheid-era South Africa and the Republic of Rhodesia that he had sewn onto his jacket; but don't worry...
Fox News is here with the facts.
Seriously, are there like zero journalistic standards in the US? This is low, even for Fox. I expected a lot of the usual "that pastor was no angel" and "he was such a nice boy, you'd never expect this from him," but this is maybe the most reprehensible misrepresentation of the facts those guys have ever sunk to, and I really feel like they shouldn't be allowed to call themselves a news show.

I assume there was an implied "instead of Dan Ryckert," implying that everything else went the same.

It's weird, Nintendo says they brought Platinum into Star Fox because their games always have such strong visuals, but everything we've seen of Star Fox Zero so far is pretty much just metal boxes.
Quick question:
what the fuck are Amiibo cards
They're trading cards with NFC tags embedded in them.

Suddenly a lot of fanart makes sense.

I do most of my finished drawings on bristol. It's very nice and plays well with the pigment-based inking pens and the alcohol-based markers I use (also visible in the same photo), though it costs more than a dollar a page. I usually try to squeeze eight or nine Pokémon drawings onto a sheet before I'm done with it.

At first I thought it looked a little better than a Mario Party game because it has this sort of Chance and Community Chest thing going on where you get cute little vignettes instead instead of terrible minigames.
Then I learned you're actually supposed to be using the Amiibo cards to unlock the terrible minigames.
That's why they all have dice rolls and Rock Paper Scissors on them.

For whatever reason, people love editing Green's work and using it for reaction images. I understand he's not really fond of those who do it though.
-
Yeah, it reminds me of those really early trailers for Dust: An Elysian Tail before the guy learned how to do a proper walk cycle.

You should watch Steven Universe.
*drives by* which way to the baby war
But no seriously, Steven Universe is amazing.
I didn't wanna be the one to say it, but yes. Steven Universe is the best cartoon on TV.
Speaking of which, some of the music from the latest episode is really appropriately unsettling.

Guys, I found this old scan I took of my local paper when I was like 16.
Not sure how I feel about sharing a cropped version of a Gunshow comic. KC Green is one of my favourite peeps on the internet.

Time for teg's stupid uninformed prediction:
You're not playing as the real Big Boss, but an early draft of the Les Enfants Terrible project that had a deformed arm due to the accelerated aging process. The thing in your head is actually a control mechanism designed to keep your brain inhibited or implant memories of being Big Boss or something. Real Big Boss either won't appear or will be played by David Hayter.

Sean and Jake missed out on a real prime opportunity when talking about how Firewatch is about shouting at teens. They could have called it a first-person shouter.

I cleaned my apartment!
Computer desk:
...I need a new chair.
Drawing desk:
That one needs a chair, period.
The TV (under it: WDTV Live, Wii U, PS3, and two external hard drives)
I shouldn't have taken these pictures so close to sunset. Sorry.
Also, having taken down my media shelf and sold/paked u most of my physical media, I scrunched up my living room bookshelves and gaming stuff into this:
The black bin under the Wii U gamepad contains the "keeper" pile of physical games, the wicker one contains controllers for the PS3 and Wii U. The two black fabric drawers are... mostly empty, with a few USB cables.
Have fun trying to pick out the books!

That petition is at more than 10,000 signatures and is now the top result for the game's title, the sixth for "Metroid Prime," and the third for "Metroid."
geeeez

Horns were a misunderstood but ultimately noble thing in Ico and SOTC though.
We need to talk about race

Another thing I briefly wanted to mention: The terrorist was also noted as specifically referring to the Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin shootings when referring to why he hated black people. I feel like I have a much deeper understanding of the costs of the demonizing and blame-shifting that the media tried to pull in those cases.
