I'm pretty sure "Organichealth.co" doesn't exactly have an established reputation as a journalism source of any kind

[Tytan]

Okay. That might be some sketchy sources (since I'm not really familiar with your sites). So, you're saying that's just some fake or at very least some exaggerated stuff?

Don't give us that Mr. Riots-in-the-capital.

We don't have any for almost a year.

The biggest hint that it's sketchy is that the hosting website is called 'Organic Health' and one of their cited sources is Facebook. 

Any you're blaming America for one cop and a fucked up shooting that might not have even happened. 

Seriously, it just sounds made up. 

A woman called the cops on her son because he wouldn't take his medicine. The cop came alone. And then for some reason he tazed him and dragged him to the bathroom and shot him three times. And then, after being shot three times at close range, he has just enough time to ask for his mother before he dies. 

It just sounds implausible.

[Stringtheory]

Guys, the impossible just happened, I just found a show that makes even less sense than FLCL and End of Evangelion COMBINED!

Humanity Has Declined:

Don't be fooled by the pastel color scheme, this is one of the darkest, snarkiest, most surreal shows I've seen, and it's amazing.

*after watching episode 1*

What. The. Shiitake?

Stuff starts to make sense in later episodes...barely. But the darkness, snarkiness, and surrealness remain at a constant level.

Is it a single-season, 13 episode series?

Apparently, though the episodes are apparently not in chronological order.

Okay, sorry. You have a point here, my mistake.

Shows what you know. It won three Pulitzers, broke the Watergate Scandal, and sent Edward R. Murrow to London during the Blitz.

As XT would say, 'Not every cop.'

He'd also say, 'Shut the fuck up.'

But the latter is basically punctuation.

Fack. Massive headache for no discernible reason.

Well, let's see, what's going on... Machine Head's new album dropped, as did a new Stephen King novel. Finished the first, working on the second; the latter has already impressed a great deal more than the former after 75 pages.

brief review of the album, unorganized:

Stephen King's "Revival" started out on a seriously fuckin' strong series of notes. I've got an idea or two where it's headed - the title's got at least two meanings - and I'm looking forward to seeing if I'm right. Short one, compared to his earlier work, but that's probably a good thing. He's gotten less meandering lately (hell, in my opinion he's become fucking brilliant lately). If the first 75-odd pages were a novella, I'd heartily recommend it.

Which is your favorite game out of the three?

Probably The Lost Age.

[Frost]

three Pulitzers,

disgusting. I didn't ask for their medical history. 

broke the Watergate

Congratulations. Mass flooding in Holland.

sent Edward R. Murrow to London during the Blitz.

Yeah, but the very next play, London threw 35 yards to Bristol, who took it to the end zone. Where the fuck was Murrow then?

What? Didn't you know people would randomly turn invisible during the French Revolution?

That bottom one looks like something out of Five Nights At Freddy's

How else do you think the French Revolution turned out the way it did?

Finished "Revival" because I am a disgusting person that crams books into my eyes with wild abandon. It's pretty friggin' good, has a good ending. It's waaay oldschool horror, done convincingly. Loved the main character (who is, IMO, the villain rather than the narrator). Definitely worth checking out if you like King and Lovecraft both. Apparently it was written under the influence of Machen, so substitute him for HPL if you like. I've read less of him than HPL so I'm not qualified to say how the similarities hold.

EDIT: Yo. New humbledy bundle. Says I gots ta share copies of Insurgency with folks. PM for a copy. First come, first serve. I used to play Insurgency when it was a mod; dunno if it's still good, but I enjoyed it back in the day. It was like Terrorist Bridge Camping Simulator 2000 as the insurgents, and Marine Getting Shot from Past the Draw Distance Simulator 1999 for the marines. (There was a trick to doing this, using the corner of your vision to line up a shot because the old Source engine's draw distance was a box, not a circle, so you could see further out of the corners of your screen) Both were pretty fun, since actually winning as the marine side was really gratifying on the rare times you managed it (on most maps, they were at a severe disadvantage if they weren't very organized).

2x EDIT: I've also got a couple copies of Risk of Rain, which is a very fun platformer/shooter roguelike. Intense swings of power - the game can be brutally difficult or practically casual depending on your fortune with items and your mastery of your character.

That must have been a kickass show. Sabaton rules.

[Katarn]

Yes, Sabaton (if we're talking about same band) is awesome. I really like their songs.

[Frost]

It was the night I first heard several of the songs from their new album. 

This one in particular:

Not sure I like these new cutscenes. On the plus side The Arbiter (With his armor on, with it off he looks like a turtle without a shell) looks pretty good. So do the prophets.

The down side is that I personally hate what the Gravemind looks like. And it seems with the new models 343 has gone for more subtle movement with the animation in places.

Some of the other models are questionable too. Namely Miranda and Sgt. Johnson. Halo 2 isn't the freshest in my memory but Halo 3 didn't give me the impression that's what they looked like.

[Vinylshadow]

Didn't Johnson go from Black to White as well?

Or was that someone else...

hm...been a while since I've looked at Halo

Step 1: Visit Cracked
Step 2: Click on recent article
Step 3: Realize Dogfish Head brews beers that haven't been brewed for thousands of years
Step 4: ???
Step 5: PROFIT! (for Dogfish Head)

[Frost]

I might be more intrigued if I was a beer guy. Any chance Dagon's Head or whatever brews ancient tequila?

[Vinylshadow]

Is the 16th Century considered 'ancient'?

[Stringtheory]

Is the 16th Century considered 'ancient'?

Not really, 16th century's renaissance, not even late middle ages. 'Ancient' is usually a catch all term for pre-0 C.E./A.D. In western terms I think it 'ends' when Rome and the Western Empire fall and the early Middle Ages/The Dark Ages start.

[Stringtheory]

You know what's fucking depressing? Failing a city builder not from disease or starvation, but from having all your villagers die from old age. I'm not sure what I did wrong but none of my people had any kids nor did any nomads show up.

[StoneSlinger88]

Dogfish Head had several that were from well before the time when Jesus did his thing. Gonna grab at least two of them next time I visit a good liquor store. I'm more into whisky myself, but enjoy a good beer now and then.
