I'm sure he started it with legit purpose, then realized he needed help just to get the boxes out of storage , and we'll that was pretty much the end of the project

Yes, we know you have :airquote:connections:airquote:. Though similarly you must realize that despite what you are told, there is a significant difference between what is delivered in reality.

Lets say your connection is actually Chris Roberts. He pretty much has no clue what his game has in it, what is functional, or even what it's about. So understand how pointless any other connection you may have is, too. Not even The Roberts could give you a clear answer about his own game. :shrug:

Seems reasonable enough. It's just that the end result, at least from the outside, is that you all look like a bunch of paranoid violence-fetichistic nutcases — in large part because of that obviously emotional response… :D

And that's from someone who fully agrees that shooting is a fun hobby, and who's just as annoyed with the current EU drive to ramp up weapon ownership restrictions.

If your primary exposure to American gun culture is via the internet you're probably getting a wildly distorted view. The type of people you see having internet slap fights in comments sections of news articles are generally the extremists on each side. So you come away with the impression that everyone in America is either a Berkeley hippy that wets themselves at the thought of a firearm, or a total nutjob that owns 30 ARs and masturbates constantly at the thought of shooting a burglar with or becoming Neegan after total societal collapse.

Whereas I think the vast majority of people either don't own guns but don't think they should all be rounded up and incinerated (or at least realize that in American it's not likely to ever happen or work), or do own guns but aren't particularly worried about them being rounded up and incinerated.

I will say that as a gun owner, 99% of people arguing against gun control on the internet should shut the gently caress up because they're idiots and doing more harm than good. They think pro gun control people have a monopoly on lovely arguments while making arguments like:

1. You said the word clip instead of magazine so you know nothing about guns and are therefore not entitled to have an opinion.

2. There is more violence in downtown Chicago than there is in rural Iowa because all the farmers in rural Iowa have rifles, and more guns = less crime.

3. A .45 handgun is twice as powerful as a 223 AR-15 so it's stupid to want to ban AR-15s.

4. I saw Jerry Miculek or whoever reload a revolver in 1.1 seconds in a Youtube video so an AR with a pile of 30 round magazines is no more effective than a guy with a six shooter and a pile of shells in his pocket.

All actual arguments stated non-ironically in MSN article comments or on (non gun related) forums.

I'm not questioning his devotion, I'm wondering about the physics of the problem. Ben and Mrs. Ben aren't exactly small, I imagine they need an wide unobstructed path to move around. Seeing as they can't be getting much in form of salaries and that rent in LA isn't exactly cheap they probably live in a tiny apartment rather than a huge mansion like Chris.

How do you stuff dozens of boxes of trash in such a confined space in a way that allows two landwhales to freely move around? Is Ben some sort of master hoarder?

A lot of people do this, start projects that sound awesome at the time but in reality are too much work or not interesting.

When it happens to me, it only costs me like 100 bucks in materials. In Ben's hands, he fleeced 10k from people and now might be legally obligated to follow through or provide refunds lol.

My objection to guns in the hands of civilians has nothing to do with american culture. On one hand I think I would be a responsible gun owner and shooting an AR-15 must be a lot of fun. On the other hand I look around and I can't help but notice that I'm surrounded by idiots and/or less than stable people.

If the price of shooting paper targets once in a while is having to consider the possibility that my idiot neighbor might blast me away because he didn't like me objecting to his dog making GBS threads in front of my door I'll give it a pass.

Criminals will be criminals, it's the idiots that worry me.

You get a thinner person to stuff them in the attic and then you pretend it's too much trouble to ask them to come back and unstuff them.

It saddens me to know they need to pick on Beer, who's been nothing short of a gentleman to everybody involved, even CIG and other backers.

I know they want to vilify everybody against the project, but they should pick better targets to assault. :(

Countries that can trace their origins further than last month and have a history to learn from understand that a halberd or a boar spear are the only sensible weapons in the zombie apocalypse. See how the characters in TWD struggle with the concept of "maybe a knife shouldn't be your first choice just because firearms aren't an option".
