Way to be as ignorant as some of us Americans are of other countries, dude.

Countries other than America have firearms widely available - modern, industrialized, Western countries. Very few have abolished their ownership and a handful even have more hands-free laws than any of the fifty states. It is not as simple as gun ownership, or restricting who can have what, or making scary black weapons illegal. It's an incredibly complicated socioeconomic and political issue, made in certain instances even more complicated than in other countries by the existence of the Second Amendment.

People have been trying to tackle this issue for decades with a variety of approaches, some of which have been heavy-handed, large-government restrictions and policies, some more akin to the policies @joshwent brought up (which, full disclosure, are the methods I prefer). Their efficacy has varied as widely as possible, given the breadth, depth and complexity of the issue at hand.

TL;DR It's complicated. For everyone.

I'm all for ID@Xbox getting riskier because it means we might get a shot at both some real diamonds in the rough and some exceptional garbage, both of which I believe deserve to be fielded and examined.

To that extent I don't really see how this game is a 'new low,' considering it probably doesn't wipe your hard drive and melt your Xbone or anything egregious like that.

For me it's more like broccoli and lettuce: both do nothing for me but seem to set other peoples' worlds on fire. Which, is good for them I guess.

It would be crazy not to utilize a fully-implemented crafting system, given real or imagined scarcity within a game's rules. If no such thing exists then fuck it.

I firmly believe that The Road Warrior is one of the best movies ever created by humans.

@milkman There may have been at one point (although I severely doubt it) but they've been relatively decent about nixing cards that people find particularly onerous before they release new versions.

So what exactly took them four years to decide and post this article?

It is now the Spring Blockbuster.

Personally I prefer that, because going outside when it is hot as fuck down here in SoCal during the Summer is not appreciated by me.

@historyinrust I actually find myself agreeing with you on this some nights, but not others. It's weird, I think I'm still in an in-between period with Bloodborne and I'm not sure how I'll end up feeling about it.

The roots of trolling are inherently disgusting and intensely dehumanizing. Speaking as someone who witnessed and, with much shame these days, once took part in 'trolling events', the people who speak of 'good old fashioned trolling' either have no idea what its history really is or are actually disgusting humans. So yeah, YOU mean just silly goofs and misdirection to make people look foolish. But old-school trolling was sending pictures of dead teenagers to their parents. Old trolling was sharing videos of guys who killed themselves for Bjork. Old trolling was filling threads with Japanese crush videos of small animals.

Not even 4chan does 'Old fashioned trolling' anymore. That's some Deep Web shit. So go ahead and use Trolling in the common vernacular, but don't append the modifier 'old fashioned' unless you really, desperately desire to be misinterpreted.
