In France there's a law prohibiting "racial hatred" or "incitation to racial hatred" which she would have taken in the face a long time ago probably…

Hay I got a new job too ! (sorry if that bums out my unemployed fellow thumbs) ! I work as video game area manager in a museum called La Gaîté lyrique (well, museum, concert hall and exhibition hall) and since nobody takes games seriously, I can pretty much do anything I want <3 Example : I'm gonna setup a minecraft server for the museum and have artists play the game and make events in there. I'm gonna have every console that has ever been into existence out of the biggest console and games collection in Europe and have people play games on them ! \o/ Also I'll teach kids about the game industry, and organize events around circuit bending and 8 bit 'zic, make an ARG in the building using RFID…*Man, I have so much things to do, and I'm alone doing it so it's gonna be haaaaaaard but I sure hope it'll be a succesful place (probably will be since I'm the only place in the museum that's free )

The problem with Sarah Palin is a very tough one : What should one do with her ? You can reason with kids sometimes, but with adults that don't know anything and are serious about it ? That breaks my mind in two…

For me there are super sweet moments I'd like to keep so please, increase dah space. If there is need of donation for keeping the site up, please say so…

Come on, criticizing her for talking rubish because she doesn't know anything but stoping before the moment in the video when she beat the world record for that (3:35) ?!

Coincidentaly, my GF did this, as I'm teaching her how to use photoshop, I gave her the project to make a card game. I'm so fucking thrilled with what she does. Totaly unrelated : hey, I have a new girlfriend and she's awesome !

What amazes me after something like the 10th chapter ('cause there's a visible shift of tone and line gradually (I was sad to not see the minotaur again)) is how never-seen that is… And each time he like…*Does not shy away, and fucking TELLS the story, says almost everything, explains the mysteries plainly, I'm like "oh fuck, he said everything, there's no more story…" I mean, how much tons of content can a story like that contain ? It's mind boggling to me… Also, thank you, Gunnerkrigg Court is the best

Person, persons who had the idea to link Gunnerkrigg Court…*Be blessed, this is pure magic

Only really bad point for me : the monetary system is sooooo off balance…*When I entered Venice I just bought everything, by the end of the game I had close to a million ƒ… Also, look up the tombs, the altaïr outfit is the awesomest of them all.

Awesome TED Talks (and similar enlightening lectures)

Fuck you forum that ate my answer ! So the message was : 1)clarification : I'm a leftist and politically passionate person 2)restating my previous point, I think that the right places the emphasis of "rights and duties" on rights, makings laws the bare minimum to garantee those rights, and the left places the emphasis on duties, so as to enlarge the range of rights we have. For instance, I would not mind paying a living tax to guarantee a right for everyone to have a roof in their plates and some food over their heads (or the other way around). I took the test, it gave me centerist bordering left, I think it's bogus : For instance, on "Government should not censor speech, press, media, or internet." I would reply maybe, providing that there is no incitation to hatred or murder in them… And it's the only restriction that should aply… "Repeal laws prohibiting adult possession and use of drugs." There should be laws restricting access to at least the most dangerous drugs known to destroy the lives and wallets of the one who take it and at least to the kids…*And that makes me a liberitarian ? yeah…*right… Everyone wants kids on crack on the left… "End government barriers to international free trade." If I say yes, I'm a liberitarian, if I say no, I'm a leftist…*Except I prefer people to have access to food that is localy produced and if you have to make laws to encourage that (without prohibition of course) I would support it… So yeah…*Meh moment after the test… -

[watch out for the bold strokes] I would say that before there were classes high and low, there were people. And when you address these peoples on a political level, as individuals, on the left they would tend to force them to behave nicely to one another, on the right they would rather let people be free of their behavior. Therefore : On the left, you would force richer people to give to the poorer, on the right you would allow him to decide what to do. Feel also free to correct me -

Well, maybe wikileaks has been made and maintained by Julian Assange, it doesn't really matter does it ? After all, he's not alone in the endeavor, and for all you and I know, Da Vinci or Picasso could have secretly been murdering rapists or just assholes, I'm not sure it would matter in the slightest way. One day Assange will die and who cares who he was, it's what he did that changed something, nobody should defend him if he's a dick… The painter's a person, the painting's an result, one and the other are not really linked… Alternate example for the nerd minded : the same person that made the wonderful ET remade it to change guns into radios // George Lucas made the first three Star Wars AND the last three…*Point is, you can be the duke of douchest and still make good things, 't couldn't you ? -

Hey you, yeah you ! You heard of the Gaité Lyrique ? If not, who cares, it's a new digitallee-new mediaee video gamee phat huge museum-concerthall-conferenceroom and a lot of stuff are going to happen in there. I'm involved in two of them : the library and the video game center. For the first one, I'm wondering if you have some sweet ideas for video games related publications : books and magazines. For both, I'm looking for everything : from must haves to strange and super awesome unknown ones, and we're not going to download them, we'll buy books and subscribe to magazines so if you ever want to plug your own of friend's things and publications and even podcasts…*hell, I'm interested ! On the video game ones, I'm not really paid for it but I have to select a range of video games on multiple platforms according to a theme every two weeks or so. Would you…*ALL OF YOU mind if I started a discussion on there ? Would you be interested to participate in the selection of games that would be displayed ? I'm working 3 jobs right now and that'll be the 4th, I could do it on my own and would still not get paid the same, no question about it but keeping an eye on the indie scene is having a billion eyes on people that don't do central-markting so having a bunch of you participate in there would be supa sweet cause I met a bunch of you and there are some really awesome peoples here. Why would you do it ? Because you care about the indie scene being in the museum ? Because your name would be on the commentary of the game I'll write for the occasion ? Or hey…*Why not ? So yeah, sorry I kind of went away there for a bit but…*Books and magazines : which ones do you read, which ones are intelligent and original ? PS: if you disapprove of me easing my job on the forums, it'd completely get it and go die in hell no questions asked. PPS: Also, don't think I did that on a billion forums, this one's the only one where I feel confident enough to post that. Cheers the thumbs !
