Random Rants LVII: wow. many anger. very whining.

[cybrxkhan]

What game?

And my life has been very messy, complicated, awkward, and generally unpleasant lately. It's worse than unpatched Total War AI.

So better than an unpatched PI game from a decade ago?

 

[Takhisis]

PI? That sounds like Greek to me.

 

[bhsup]

Funny, sounds Hawaiian to me.

 

[Takhisis]

Heh, I found an old pic of Tom Selleck and a few other people from Magnum P.I. in backstage yesterday.

 

[Zack]

What game?

Is there a game with an escort mission that isn't awful?

 

[GamezRule]

Microsoft Flight Simulator X sucks really, really bad.

Are you ranting about the game itself or the online community that seems to think "OMG DIS ERZ REALZ LYFE?"

 

[Antilogic]

Funny, sounds Hawaiian to me.

Who the hell is that? Rosie Perez?

 

[azzaman333]

After this dump, my house is going to need a new toilet.

 

[Arakhor]

Thanks for sharing, Azza.

 

[Civ'ed]

not sure whether to be impressed or shocked at the state of Australian plumbing.

 

[JohannaK]

I have had my own hard experiences with dumps. They can be real big tough bastards.

 

[Snerk]

Rant: Snow amounts hereabouts remains pathetic. I though I lived in the god damn arctic!? More like.. er.. lametic?

 

[Takhisis]

One of the few serious RL-related rants I've posted and hopefully ever will have.
A prosecutor has been daring enough to actually accuse the beloved government of Best Argentina of having colluded with the Iranian regime to cover up two terrorist attacks from twenty years ago.
I wake up this morning to find out that, less than a week after the event, the man's been suicided. Hooray for democracy!

 

[gay_Aleks]

Man. That Cracked article might have just ruined Fallout for me.

I think I'll go play Fallout 3 until I kill all the bloody raiders.

 

[Antilogic]

Sudden onset of bullet cancer?

 

[gay_Aleks]

No, sudden onset of "nobody will actually go around and start killing and robbing stuff but don't worry I am not a sociopathic vault dweller who will kill you for your suit or something".

Now that I think of it, that's a pretty messed-up dream universe.

 

[Takhisis]

Sudden onset of bullet cancer?

It's one of three options:

• the government had him suicided
• he was suicided by some rogue security agents who were purged out of the state's intelligence secretariat
• the Iranian government/Hezbollah had him suicided

Option c) is the least likely, Hezbollah aren't that sophisticated and they have enough of a presence in the North to simply send someone down to do a drive-by or another suicide bombing.
I'm not sure whether option a) or b) scares me the most.

 

[gay_Aleks]

What about option d, the CIA? The all-mighty CIA doing.. something? Perhaps toppling the democratically elected government of Argentina?

 

[Takhisis]

Nah, the CIA and the state of Israel were among the few who cooperated with Nisman.

 

[gay_Aleks]

In that case, I wouldn't be surprise if he comes suddenly from the dead. That, or a platoon of US soldiers taking a walk around Buenos Aires.
