Unless something miraculous (or horrifying) happens, just 2 more years and we can vote the fucker out of office. :3

[/CanadianPolitics. Yes, we have politics, and it's not always polite.]

Stupid voting system, preventing the Green Party from ever actually getting more than a few seats.
Seriously, if I remember correctly they got ~10% of the vote in the election where they got no seats, but the voters were too spread-out.

OH yes. Plus IIRC we're still First Past The Post.

If only there was a simple system that was fair... Like say, for N total votes and K seats, one seat is rewarded for every N/K votes. Why bother with FPTP?

I think some countries (germany?) have each party publish a "Candidate list" of sorts, and you vote for the party. The seats are then divided among the parties proportionally, and if they get, say, 5 seats, then their top 5 candidates on that list get a seat.

It's like that here and it's... well, let's just say far from ideal. The end result is a bunch of same old politicians rotating around and a bunch of 'Hey, who is THAT asshole? Wait, actually, who would have VOTED for that asshole?' kinda dudes.

Also, I should post that in the sad thread, but the lack of ass-grabbing in the thread name makes me sad.

Well fuck.  Look at all that X-Com.

Also, I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere in La-Mulana, even though I've barely scratched the surface >_<  It's a great game.

Yeah it's like oh, there's actually DOUBLE the dungeons I thought there were? So much fun do you play the free one orthe new one?

Also with la mulana two in development it's time to go and beat it maybe :I

[Vector]

New one!  I'm sooo stoked that they're doing another one.  La-Mulana *_*  It's rapidly becoming one of my favorite games.

[Sirus]

Just wish I had more time to play La-Mulana. By the time I go back to play again I forget everything I've done @_@

Gotta agree though, its a fun game.

[Gunner-Chan]

La-Mulana is like, the awesome. I still kinda wish I could play the original given I don't own the new one. But the original just acts funny on my laptop for some reason.

I mean I do know most everything about the game already but it's still worth playing despite that I think. Maybe when the sequel comes out I can enjoy playing it totally blind once more.

Also going through the entire dimensional corridor in one sitting, front to back with no saves is the most fucking intense thing ever. They should of totally locked you in and forced you to do it all in one shot like that.

This amuses me for some reason.

...This is pretty much how I envision the US too.

Must have gone to one of the weirder parts of Texas.

[ArchAIngel]

We have a queen? What? Pretty sure this guy is trolling. Funny though.

[Frumple]

We've got plenty of queens in the states.

If it's the state's queen, though, that probably means it's not in texas. Unless it's... Austin? Or is it Dallas that you're less likely to get shot for cross-dressing?

If you're plating the first one, get OpenXCom to fix it up a bit.

They're working on getting TFTD to work with it as well.

I can't stress that enough - get OpenXCom.

Also interceptor and enforcer can die in a fire

Coulda been a beauty queen. Or a homecoming queen.

[Frumple]

Coulda been a beauty queen. Or a homecoming queen.

Possibly, but there was a masculine pronoun used. Which... would still probably invalidate most parts of texas for having a state affiliated ftm involved with the judicial system.

Must have missed that part. I dunno then.

[Darvi]

Might have been a "State governor mistaken for a Queen because obviously all Brits think that every head of state is royalty" or something like that.
