This is one of the great activists pro-tips! FAX them till their offices are filled to the ceiling with paper.

I took some time away from video games to review Aminder Dhaliwal's newest graphic novel A Witch's Guide to Burning. I highly recommend the book.

Social Media is the Dark Souls of life, but even more of a waste of time.

Awesome! I prefer getting the physical review copies, but reading the digitally copies of books does make the review process easier.

Makes me think of a contemporary game The British Way (a tabletop wargame) that utilizes a some really awesome sources. A lot of the War on Terror doctrine, which COD is based on comes from wars of colonial independence. www.gmtgames.com/p-1095-the-b...

Most of the sources used are close to 20 years old.

I really enjoyed this video, but yeah the framing lacking. It would of loved a comparison to wider media of this sort. COD isn't at all unique in its presentation of violence (e.g. torture) by State actors. I also think that Geller could of definitely gotten better sources.

Interesting. I have' heard this perspective before, stuck in time in terms of narrative. Do you think this has anything to do with COD as a major cash cow for Activision (now Microsoft)? You know like don't mess with the sauce (War of Terror politics) that keeps the restaurant open type of thing.

The Departed is much worst when you consider how much better the movie(s) it is based on is. I can't believe Scorsese goofed to such a degree. The hype and acclaim given to the film, specifically by the Academy of Motion Pictures, is based on their historical snubbing of Scorsese. Wahlberg sucks!

The dude didn't even have a weapon after he flipped that table in the market. The most hardcore of all the runs. People need to stop complaining about the difficulty in Shadow of the Erdtree.
