Whaaaaat the fuck? It started off with him like taking his family or something? Then he became an Uber driver? How the fuck did he not have charges pressed against him or worse, how did he not get shot?

Yeah.

I saw these clips before and I thought they were some of those Vine comedy things, not something thats real. That is really scary and makes me glad I have my own vehicle.

Portugal!! Against all odds.

Soccer?

Soccer?

Indeed. I mostly really dislike it for how much hatred it brings between different teams and their fans, and how much attention people and the media bring to it over other much more important things. In Portugal not liking footbal is almost like blasphemy.
I didn't believe that the Portuguese team would do anything special this year (but what do I know about football), but apparently and ridiculously they managed to win the Euro cup defeating France at home (Successfully "Greecing" it). This final was the only and first game I watched in like 3 years, and I have to admit I only did so because of all the hatred the team and country was getting on the internet for not actually "Winning" games. Apparently because they were playing pretty badly and always managed to win the games by tiring out the opposing team which I though was pretty funny. Truth is, luck or not, it was a tactic that made the country champion.
Another reason why I dislike football so much is how unfair it constantly is. Players clearly purposely injuring other team's good players for a better chance at winning (and not getting punished) as a tactic is just awful.
Must admit as much as I don't care about football it felt quite nice to stfu everyone who kept constantly giving crap to the Portuguese team

Ladies and gentlmen, Palmer Luckey:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/09/22/palmer-luckey-the-facebook-billionaire-secretly-funding-trump-s-meme-machine.html

Congratulations Palmer on helping to found a white supremacist group!

Along with Luckey, Nimble America was founded by two moderators of Reddit’s r/The_Donald, which helped popularize Trump-themed white supremacist and anti-Semitic memes along with 4Chan and 8Chan. A questionnaire to become a moderator at r/The_Donald posted in March had applicants answer the questions “Is there a difference between white nationalism and white supremacy?” and “Was 9/11 an inside job?”

“It’s something that no campaign is going to run,” Luckey said of the proposed billboards for the project. “I’ve got plenty of money,” Luckey added. “Money is not my issue. I thought it sounded like a real jolly good time.”

Also, big props on being extremely delusional!

“The American Revolution was funded by wealthy individuals,” NimbleRichMan wrote on Saturday. Luckey confirmed to The Daily Beast he penned the posts under his Reddit pseudonym.

So I have been sucked into the world of The Division. I'm really not much of an RPG player but this game has been a lot of fun and I love the world and story it has been put into. Also, the game is beautiful to look at.

With that said I did run into one of the issues and reasons why I'm not much of an RPG player.....I need friends that play it. After you beat the game there are some things unlocked for daily and weekly deals as well as a lot of other things you can do, but doing them solo is actually impossible. They require a group to even select it as an option. It really is impossible.

So, I'm not a hardcore 20 hours a day RPG player and I'm a noob in The Division, but I fight hard and am honest and will help others. If you play The Division on PC and happen to play a few hours a week and want a partner, look me up. It doesn't even have to be in the DZ. I like playing the PvE stuff as well and hunting down targets. I'm in the US, Central Time Zone.

I play this through UPlay, booo I know, but I have a Steam account as well, both under the name....CptainCrunch

My friends and I might hop back into The Division after their next patch rolls out. We haven't touched it in a couple of months now. And fuuuuuuuck even thinking about doing Dark Zone stuff with how unrewarding it is with exploiters and people ganking you at every opportunity. Oh, you finally got a unique drop? NOPE, fucking ganked every time before extraction.

I'm thinking you might still be in the honeymoon phase with that game. It's had such a weird history. It was pretty great at launch and then the first patch or two hit that kind of killed off the end game fun because the devs felt the need to balance without thought. The weapons you felt were fun? No, they were overpowered and needed to be nerfed almost to the point of being useless again. Then the Underground content hit and it was enjoyable for a bit until they saw people were having fun and they AGAIN nerfed the weapons while keeping the enemies as total bullet sponges on higher difficulties. At least now they're testing the next patch with a PTR for the community, so here's hoping it ends up good again.

Yeah, it could be. I have to say that I've only had one guy rip me off and I killed him. I didn't have anything worth stealing. I havent ran into any exploiters or cheaters. I thought I would and that's why I didnt play the game. I've actually had it since April or May.

That is one of the "curses" of an RPG. Once you get so far up it can get boring or if devs decide to destroy everything you owned then it can make you go "whats the point". I do have to say that it's not very crowded in the dark zone. Ive seen maybe a dozen players on it. Now Im not down every street. Im a bit puny compared to some of these guys, so Ive only been up to DZ3.

So yeah, if you see a CptainCrunch running around say hi and I wont steal your stuff

So I ran into this some last night. It was later than I play. I couldn't sleep and was playing and it started with one high level player just running around in the lower levels doing whatever he wanted and just killing everyone last second and not even taking stuff. Soon he did that with other higher level players so they wanted revenge and before you knew it there were 4 high level players trying to kill each other.

I watched this for a while on the overview map and whenever someone shot off a flare they would all rush to that zone knowing that the others would be there and fight it out. Toward the end of the evening I was running between drop zones shooting flares and then would hide off to the side out of view and they would all come rushing in and kill each other. I did that several times and though I was sad that I couldn't get any stuff out of the zone, I did rank up a couple times and Im sure they all lost points and stuff from each other

With all that being said the last couple patches as well as the 1.4 patch seems to be moving more things out of the dark zone and I think they are turning this more into a traditional RPG of a group working together against AI. Which is kind of a shame as they could just change a few mechanics for the dark zone and still make it very feasible for the "little guy" to play.

I'm still having fun though, but wanted to let you know that the thievery is alive and well.

You are making me wish I took a shot at it. I quite enjoyed the beta of the game, it was disappointing in the sense that it didn't live up to the hype, but nonetheless it was a good and gorgeous game.
If only it wasn't so god damn expensive
