New and Newer and then...

Ok so amazing gamer news. For fans of the Assassin's Creed video game we are all currently waiting for the new installment of the saga. Were interested to see where desmond is going to take the modern plot, as well as the unfolding of the Revolution's meaning towards the over all arc. But! This new announcement has been just released that Ubisoft, the maker ofthe game, has created a new branch of its company strictly designed to create films based on its own video games. The first game to be filmed is, you guessed it, Assassin's Creed. But this has even bigger implications. If Ubisoft is going to be making films from its original games does this finally mean that they are gearing up to make Splinter Cell? tclancy@twitter.com respond if you read this. Well, anyway this means that the script that was being passed around for the Clancy inspired game series will hopefully be picked up soon. If so I am totally stocked to go see it, even though the production wont begin for a while, and the voice actor is older than the original character was portrayed. Hey here is a tidbit for you geeks out there, you can hear Sam Fisher's voice in several movies including X-men: First Class, Justified and the TV series Burn Notice: episode 1. We hope, either they make a digital movie or the real thing. Im personally hoping for the latter. But speaking of games were moving on now.

Have any of you gamers out there played the original Borderlands. Yeah I know that game's end plot was a big middle finger to the player. And I know that the add on DLCs were just as bad. But in Borderlands 2 the mechanics have been changed. I know that I can't be the only one out here who has tried the game and found the destinct LACK of legendary items...or really any good weapons...disturbing and frustrating. And yet despite this kind of bull crap its totally mind sucking and eats away your days. Yes, I think video games are fun to do because you escape reality and can kill things without the actual physical danger. But who amongst us is still waiting for the 3D tech to catch up and become all star-trecky? I mean come on, I want to see a blue eyes destroy dark magician in real life holograming.

Here is the problem with that, folks: it has no application to the greater world. So because of the lack of marketability we wont see hologramming for a long, LONG time. Way to go Star Trek for getting our hopes up. Well...more on Borderlands later.

So, let me get this straight.
You don't wanna be a liberal anymore because... you don't like it disagreeing with people? That's not dramatic, son - that's hella vague.
Is it that you don't like disagreeing with people with your same political affiliation - or that you don't like the conflict that arises when it seems obvious to you you actually AGREE with the person? Or do you just disagree with liberals and find their defending their views tiresome? Because if that's the case, the fact that you identify/ified as one is kinda mind-boggling.

In any case, you seem to assume that liberals are the only ones with opinions that they doggedly defend, which is clearly not true.
Second, and maybe this is just lack of clarity on your part, it strikes me as both sad and laughable that you believe "holding no opinion" is preferable to engaging in discussion. Are the people around you inarticulate assholes or what? Because unless you're comatose/a robot/have just emerged from a very deep cave, you will have an opinion. Everyone does. Even stupid people. The fact that you think you can avoid that or believe having none is somehow more moral is both childish and strange.
