Well... fuck.

Okay, my upvote was earned at the ease up on the QTEs, and I agree that holding a single button down as it fills can be dramatic too (or at least at the easier modes make an option to ease up on them), but it really earned my vote at the GIVE THE OPTIONS SCREEN BEFORE THE OPENING CINEMATIC AND TUTORIAL. Christ, I hate it when a game makes me watch the cinematic, and often play the first part of a tutorial before it allows me to get to the options screen to set some options... some games detect the wrong resolution, and then you are forced to play at this odd size until you've been in the game for 5-15 minutes.

I was in tears for months when I saw that, but I had to keep it together and keep raising my little girl. So I'd be doing finger paints with a happy face and then disappear into the bathroom and weep for a bit. It was a pretty dark time in my life.

The research and trials they are doing are a testament to modern medicine and science though. The doctor who is doing the trial with us dramatically changed the course of my family's life. Click here if you want to feel better about all that: https://fightnpc.com/en/drug_trials

Just LOOK at what a difference it makes in other mammals, and they already see very similar results in humans they are testing on. They've managed to nearly halt the progression of symptoms in most patients.

I know they're trying to make it more interesting and dramatic, but I could have done without some of those sound effects.

Its funny how you get attached to different doctors. I started watching again near the end of Tennant's run. When Matt Smith came on, I was blown away. After going back and watching all modern episodes, he's been my favorite by far. He was quirky with the ability to be seriously dramatic when needed.

And a lot of credit has to go to the companions as well. I mean, Amy, come on.

Looking forward to the new doctor. Couldnt get into Capaldi.

I think that until relatively recently, there was a pretty even 3-way split amongst Puerto Ricans to:
A) Stay a commonwealth / territory
B) Go independent
C) Become a US State

But recently (likely thanks to shit like the video is describing), "stay the same" support has been dropping dramatically.


From the US population in general, I think poll results (on the rare occasions the question gets asked) tend to remain a pretty even 3-way split.


I think the 3-way division of options wasn't doing them any favors for a long time; status quo remained because none of the 3 options could get a majority. So I guess here's hoping that their situation will improve now that they seem to have largely cast aside that 3rd choice.


(I should note that I am by no means an expert or even particularly clued in on this topic. I've been to PR twice, and loved it. My "info" comes largely from a High School report I did on the topic like ~20 years ago, and a continuing genuine interest that has motivated me to keep vaguely informed *read - I wikipedia it once every few years. But although I may be way off or out of date on my info in the post above, my hope that their situation improves to their satisfaction is sincere.)

*promote unbearably dramatic!

Out of place dramatic music.

*ban

This is disgusting. I can't believe they would show this on TV, it's utterly immoral.... who serves scrambled eggs without toast?!?

Also, Louis CK really doesn't get enough props as a dramatic actor.

'a fistful of dollars' remains my favorite Morricone theme:

Look, I hate that this shit happens. Absolutely hate it, and I think that way too many cops are undertrained and/or improperly trained.

That being said, we can't see the driver's face. If you want to set a cop off, ignore his commands and glare and talk back. We got two out of three right on the video, and I bet you anything that if we could see the face of the guy talking we'd have the third.

It's still not right for the cop to escalate so dramatically and quickly, but as a viewer we have to not put ourselves in the driver's place and assume he was being a perfect respectful citizen off camera. Instead imagine the situation objectively and consider what other things the cop might have seen that were warning signs to him.
